The Call Deserves Thanks

The San Francisco Call deserves the
especial thanks of the citrus fair COM
mittee, the citrus communities of the
county and the residents of Tulare
county generally for its very generous
treatment of the fifth annual Tulare
county citrus fair, now being held in
Visalia. The other San Francisco
papers have done all that could have
been asked of them to give publicity
to the fair, but The Call has more than
met expectations.
Not only has The Call devoted a large
amount of space to giving publicity
to this fair. but it has on the ground
floor Arthur l.. Price, one of its star
reporters, whose articles from Visalia
are excellently written and who seems
to know instinctively just what to
write about. To be a successful special
writer one does not only have to have
the ability to write an interesting and
well worded article. but he must know
just what to emphasize, must be able
to grasp the essential features of his
subject and expand upon them That
Mr.. Price has shown himself well ouaii-
fed to do.-visalia Daily Times.
