Whenever you want a favor just
ask your home newspaper for it. 1t
doesn't make any difference whether
you are patron or not. Then when
you have little job of printing to do
in which there are few cents for the
printer send it away to some other
town. It's not very good business
Judgment, but it is enterprising and
cheeky. OF course the newspaper
man will not care, for he may get to
write your obituary some day. He
hopes he will, at least, nor does he
care how soon he may be called on to
do the job.-Pawnee City Press.
