The editor of a local paper is
often uujustly censured for his

he does not make more of them.

work. When one paper goes to
press he turnes his attention
to the next one. He makes the
rounds in search of news and

he must get news without their
knowing it, drawing them into

what he wants in sections. He
may labor for hours in chasing
