Entitled to Their Pay

The Ashland Pa) Telegraph under
the above heading has the following
excellent article showing how the press
Of today stands before the public:
We see the change in the size and bus
mess methods of the mercantile estab-
lishments and overlook the fact that the
newspaper, which is largely responsible
for these changes, must change its meth
ods in an even greater degree.
1t is coming to be a pretty general
rule among newspaper publishers to put
everything on a business basis and give
as news only that which is news and OF
real public interest and to charge for ev-
erything else that in any way partakes
Of the character of advertising. There
is no reason that a newspaper should
contribute without any credit to soci-
ETY., church or school than that grocer
should so contribute. Churches and all
other institutions or associations should
pay Tor advertising for the promotion of
business gain, income or financial bet
terment just the same as merchants.
The press is not free horse TO be rid
den without pay, and very little credit
and no profit come from the free service.
II the newspaper publisher wants to con
tribute he should be permitted, like
everyone else, to select his own objects
Of bounty and should receive full credit
for such contributions. Amy other course
than this cheapens the newspaper and
its publisher.
The same principal applies to the treat
ment Of public officers or the seekers af-
ter public positions out Of which to re-
ceive salary and secure same. There
is no reason why a man should get his
advertising to sell goods or to sell his
service to a lawyer, doctor, bookkeeper
or cook free.
The men who get into office through
free advertising in the newspapers very
frequently show how little they consider
and how meanly they esteem the man
who works, uses his Investments and in
nuences for nothing and pay all the ex-
pense by treating him with contempt or
indifference, and sometimes for little
cause striving to injure his business.

Flowing and Narrowing in
One Operation

Several companies are now manufac-
turing what is known as Harrow At
tachment' for plows. This attachment
is made to be used in connection with
the plow, usually OF the gang or sulky
type. By its.use the ground is narrowed
or pulverized as fast as it is plowed
Every farmer knows that there is no
time when plowed ground will pulverize
better than Immediately after it has been
turned. AT this time there has been no
chance for moisture to escape, and by
narrowing at once, the ground is not
only better pulverized, but is placed in a
condition to conserve the moisture bet
ter.
By using the harrow attachment in
connection with the plow there is no
f going over the field again to put
n in condition for the crop. The
u 4 is ha. roweo, far as plowed at all
fines. Ordinarily ls...tan one.ba,f of
'the energy exerted by OF hose is re-
quired to pull 1t.
This type OF harrow is made in seveal
different styles and widths. In width i
Maries from about eighteen inches for
sihgle plow to three feet for gang plow
III should have lever adjustment sc
THAT it can be forced into the ground a.
deepy as desired. We have every reason
to believe that this attachment will be
much more generally used in the near fu-
ture. 1t is ckrtainly tool worth recon-
mending. Its cost is within the reach
Of all.
