The Editors Dilemma.

When a scandal occurs in the
smaller cities and towns, three
things usually happen in a. news
paper office in the place First
somebody comes in and wants the
editor to write up the horrible de-
tails in full ana give it to them"
Second, interested parties call on
the editor and request him to say
nothing about the affair." Third.
the editor is charged with being a
coward for not writing it up in full
for fear of hurting his business.
Now, what are the facts? The
editor usually hears all the truth
about the incidents. and more, too.
He suppresses a good share of it or
says nothing at all about it because
he does not care to advertise the
town in that way, and out of con-
sideration for the parties, while if
he considered it from business
standpoint he would not neglect any
thing of a sensational nature, as
that would mean business rather
than loss of it.-LeXington Miss
Advertiser.

Found Old Sword.

Last week Ed Disselhorst who
lives on the old Lipscomb farm in
Fabius while examining an old rot
ten tree found concealed in it a U.
S. sword. The scabbard is so badly
rusted as to be useless, but the
sword itself is in good condition.
There is much speculation as to
how the sword came to be hidden
in the tree. The sword and scab-
bard are on exhibition at Nix &
Observation-Disclosures Co. Herald.

Free Seed Corn.

Why not quit raising scrub"
corn? Why not plant enough pure
bred seed this spring to supply you
for the future? There is as much
difference between scrub" corn and
pure bred corn as there is between
a scrub" steer and a pure bred
steer, Pure bred corn will produce
a much larger yield per acre than
ordinary seed. Until further notice
the Farmer and Breeder, published
Mt Columbia, Mo-, will give away
free quart of pure bred corn with
every new subscription. A quart will
plant a quarter of an acre and give
you all the pure seed you need for
future use. The Farmer and Breed
er is a big monthly and costs only
Soc per year. 1t is published in the
home of Missouri'S great Agricul-
tural College and every issue is full
of articles by Agricultural experts
on the raising of all kinds of Farm
Crops, the Care and Feeding of Live
Stock, Dairying, Fruit Growing
Fertilizing the Soil, Poultry Raising
and every other farm subject. Any
single issue is worth the price,
Every ounce of this seed corn will
be tested by seed experts before it
is sent out. You can have either a
yellow or white variety. This adj
vertisement is appearing in hun
dreds of newspapers and our sup
ply of seed will soon be exhausted.
So send or leave your subscription
at once at the Office of the Monroe
City Democrat, which will forward
it to us. If

Time to Question Himself.

When you find your home paper
taking no interest in you or your
success, says the Baltic (OhIo)
American, when you find it keeping
aggravatingly silent when you
think the editor should be tearing
his linen in your behalf, do not
work yourself into a fever of anxiety
as to the cause; just ask yourself
wherein have you placed the paper
and its editor under obligations to
use space and energy for you.
