Never growl because newspaper fails
to give every scrap of news, so long as
you take no pains to give the editor in-
formation. We have seen readers who
are awfully put out at times because we
make no note of the arrival or the de
parture of friend visiting them. or of
local afrairs-improvements, etc. The
average newspaper man isn't medium
nor a mind reader, but gets much OF his
news the same way some milkmen get
their milk-by pumping.
