MUCH PASSED UP
NEWSPAPERS DO NOT PRINT
HALF THEY COULD.
Many People Have Mistaken Idea
About Them.

Every man who has had to do with
the publishing OF n newspaper Is IA
mlliar with that class Of people who
imagine that the newspaper IL seek
ing to get possession Of news that
will make sensation. These peo-
pie would be surprised at numbers OF
frst-class sensations that are passed
up through desire not TO bring
grief to the homes OF good people
If there was but one object In print
ing the news and everything that
was learned I'm newspaper Office
was given publicity there would be
something doing most OF the time.
There are many happenings that
are Of sensational nature that never
appear in print and often the parties
Interested console themselves in the
belief that their actions were so care
fully concealed as 10 escape the
newspapers and IN consequence the
publication which they imagine Is
the inNariable result OF such KNOW
edge. These people are quite badly
deluded in their surmises.
But few happenings Of salacions

pers, often through the desire OF per
sonal enemies OF the unfortunate
parties and sometimes through the
offices of the good friends OF the pa
per who put the newspaper in pos
session OF the facts as a protection.
Many of these stories are never used
and never spoken of through a desire
to protect homes from shame and
disgrace and pain. But these con
siderations are never credited to the
paper.

A Firm That Deals in Spare Time.


The women of America owe a debt
Of gratitude to a large Indianapolis
publishing house thathas at last
solved the question Of how to pur-
chase women's spare time.
They point out hundreds of thou
sands of hours that are wasted every
day by women, who are unable to
turn them TO profitable account and
though it be said that Thine is
money" they are the first to step for
ward and give money in exchange
for the time wasted unwillingiy by
women. Every three hours of a
woman's time is worth $500 to them
and they have devised a plan where
by they can pay a woman for her
spare time at this rate.
Every minute of a woman's time
Is worth cents to them and the
more minutes they can buy the bet
ter they are pleased They are pre-
pared to buy in large or small guam
titles, on any day and in any part of
the country. Any woman by send
ing her name and address on postal
card to THE FORD PUBLISHING
COMPANY. indianapolis, U. S. A.,
Department lie. can learn free OF
charge how to cash any Spare time
she may have.
