country newspaper on metropolitan

He has been brought up il a commun.

When he takes up the burden OF n
small newspaper office where he must
attend to every detail himself, ard
where the resources are extremely
limited, he finds difficulty in adapting
himself to his environment and ofteo
makes mistakes which cause him no
end OF trouble aad oftentimes serious
financial loss.
