a short time dropped rapidly to a u,
resting there a few minutes, 1t rose
rapidly to S2h, and remained around

DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YoU7

It is not an uncommon thing for a
newspaper man to be approached and
requested to leave this or that out of
the paper. Before doing this just sit
down and think the matter over seri-
ously and ask yourself how you would
like it If it was someone else that the
story was about and the paper kept it
out says an exchange. Don't you
think for a single moment that a news
paper is going around getting people
to do things that will get their names
in the paper when they don't want them
there. The newspaper is no more TO
blame for what happened in a com
munity than looking glass is for the
wart on a mans nose that he is bound
to see if he looks in the glass.
