part was Miss Ethel Doyle, who,
for a long time, has been a com.
positor on the Times. By this act
she ceases to be an employee, but
is promoted to the position of
local editor and part owner of the
plant, and, of course, her salary
stops, as editors and owners of
newspapers are not presumed to
have money. She is a winsome
little lady, and, if Russell doesn't

right here and now that he is
