WANTS A JOB
 ON THE ECHO
Expert Pressman From Co. A May
 Work for George Hinton.

Priv. Clausson, Go. A, looked over the News plant recently.
 So this is your little plant, is it?' he said. ''Not so bad. I've worked on big dailies outside as pressman.
 "so this is copy of your little paper. Pretty good, only you've got too much ink on your rollers. You don't feed the ink right. Regulate the flow better'
 "Yes, but our ink doesn't flow. We smear it on with stick"
 That's right. Power or hand press?"
 'Neither. Foot press.'
 "Ever see a big city paper? Haven't? l tell you they're something great. You ought to get a perfecting press. Come to about $l ,0OO deck You can run off page with each deck"
 Pretty stiff game.''
 ''Yes, they make lem with from so to 90 decks. You can run off early mail, city, late mail, comic, six extras and four double extra extras all at once."
 ''You must have worked on some awfully big papers. I've heard of MT. Hearse. Lieut.. Kingman was telling me about him. He used to edit college weekly. That is, the lieutenant did,"
 "Yes, I've worked on all of them. Kalamazoo Gazette, Oskaloosa, Kokomo. I'd like to get a job up here"
 "Have you tried the Hot Springs Echo?'
 "Never heard of it. Who is.the man. aging editor?"

CHAMPIONS TO FIGHT
 THANKSGIVING NIGHT

Go. L is wild with excitement Bat ting May is matched to fight Kid Foster, Thanksgiving night.
 The Battling says be sure to say "Kid Myers" That's his nom de plume. Some say ''alias."
 Myers is training hard. He runs 8 miles before breakfast. His diet con- sists of Szilagyimnzry hot cakes, Zuber dishwater and Nelson & Smith dough If he survives that, he's winner. He weighs himself hourly, tipping Kinzer's s apothicated scales, which go strong, at llO1a.
 Manager Perley is patiently trying to raise the $50 purse. Thus far he's se- cured $1.90 in cash, four pennies and a pants button.
 Father Higgins, the trainer, is wear ing Tat cage for mask to protect that little black mustache from total decima- tion, for the Battling viciously jerks it at times.
 SeCOnuS on the LOOkOuC.
 Baldy korinc, the bird, whose wing is now out of whack; Ike Allaboo and Lydia Pinkham Perunna, the favolite prescription, are storing away scraps of malt and lemon rind for the rub down. Washerwoman Beach is busy limber ing up bath towels and bed sheets to be used as fans when Battling faints.
 Willy Hawkins is extracting beer checks and canteen tickets out of pock- cts, training to get his mitts on the gate receipts.
 Gentleman "Red" Flanagan is waiting for someone to ask his opinion of the relative merits of the giants, while Randy Legs Segers is ready to jump in with both feet and pry Foster off. He's practcing the hammerlock on Van Syckle's left ear
 Peterson says he will throw up the sponge when the Battling gets chicken hearted.
 Earksdale Looms Up.
 Capt. Barksdale has been chosen press dopster. He will issue semi-frequent bulletins, giving Myers contemptible opinion of the Kid.
 Priv. Hush is punching out Battling's bibliography on an adding machine of "How got that Bump On My Nose at Long Acre, N. Y."
 Shorty Hinckl:y is lobbying for the A.oving picture privileges, scattering Micky Woods tabs ($S limit) among the boys and big society scandal is feared.
 Elliott, to make them come through, Is framing up d general order prohibit ing the showing of the pictures at kokrines.
 Eaee Riots Possible.
 Pumper Pfeiffer is chopping the ice out of the hose to be directed on the cannons ill case race riots ensue.
 Sam Lee, the laundryman, and Joe Oats, the village Smithy, are making strong bids for tie fight. In case Lieut.. kingman gets ugly because he's refused a pass to the ringside, the deadheads have arranged to go over the line and pull the match off in John kehoe' $ woodshed.

"Well, sometimes he does. When he calls man thief or liar he puts it on pretty thick. Uses both hands to make good impression. Then again he stops the flow altogether-when he wants to touch lightly on subject. On the whole he strikes a pretty good average during the year,
 ''How often does he get out?"
 "Nobody knows, not even George. He tries to catch the Frank Smith express out to Jerry Ford's. Wien the mules laid up George Hinton takes rest. The next week he gets out twice for good luck Once in while he fatters the advertisers by putting all their ads. on the front page, leaving the others blank"
