Sullivan Herald.
The fact that the Boss" did not
boss is not an unheard of thing by
any means. There are bosses and
bosses and Boss Scouten was one
of the bosses who was not success
full in landing "a single candidate
last year. Hard luck. Getting

The Herald credits us with hav-
ing good business ability and wants
us to tell them the secrets of our
success and also demands a straight
forward answer to his question:
"If the auditors of Laporte twp.
were able to secure better rates
from the Herald than elsewhere,
did they not manfully discharge
their obligation to that municipali-
ty by accepting the best rate obtain
able Most assuredly they did
If man is obliged to make an ass
of himself, it is best he should
afford little profit to others while
doing so. In our experience we
have learned that as yet the miracle
of commercial success by selling a
product for less than it cost to pro-
duce it has not been revealed to
the gentiles up to the time of going
to press. Happy to say the News
Item does not have to practice such
methods to get business. While
our prices are moderate our work
excels. 1t cannot be initiated
it Sullivan county. That's the
secret, and we don't care who
knows it.
