To All And Sundy.

Once more and for the umplieth
tina the News repeats its caution
to correspondents: No name. no
publish The paper must protect
itself against imposition. and with
out the true name of its correspon-
dents this is impossible. Letters
from "Greeuup.' "old Rip Van
Wrinkle" and ITO Chums' we're
consigned TO the oblivion Of the
waste basket last week because they
bore no other names.
And along the line Of CORES
pondence, this is a good time to
say that the News prefers to pub
lish the birth of a child before it
is weaned, a marriage before the
honeymoon is over and a death of
man before the widow has married
again. Send in your happenings as
soon as possible after they occur.

BUY HOME MADE GOODS.

Sioux City has been having a "home
products show which. as it's name i'm
plies, was designed for the purpose of
acuuainting the people of that city
with the products manufactured there.
The show has been such a success that
it will be made an annual feature in
Sioux City, and the propaganda for
patronizing home industries will be
carried On as an organized movement.
In this connection the Sioux City Jour-
nal calls attention to the fact that in
no way can the people of city adj
vance their material interests better
than by cooperation along this line.
The Journal says:
Much attention has been given to
getting new manufacturing enter
prises. Not enough attention has
been paid to expanding the industries
we have, which is much easier and
simpler process. The number of per-
sons employed in manufacturing here
could be doubled without amy dona-
lions from public spirited citizens or
any elaborate schemes of financing.
All that Is necessary is to double the
consumption OF home made goods,
every consumer getting dollars
<nrth eor --sry dollar expended. The
