for instance, follow it across the
continent, noting its dates and the
localities assigned TO it. Do not get
one OF these features entangled with
one of the others, keep them sepa-

A prominent newspaper, interest
ed against my weather work be-
cause its rival reaps some benefits
by publishing my forecasts, gave a
prominent place in its columns to a |
statement that | am dead. To cor
rect this error wrote the following /
letter to the managing editor:
Dear Sir: | note that you have
killed me again-on paper. fully
admit that I make mistakes in my
forecasts and | realize that it is your
right and particularly your interest
to bury my weather work, but, my
dear sir, is it just the right thing
for you to bury this body of mine be-
fore the undertaken gets in his
work on its Having served an ap-
premiership of twenty years as a
managing editor am not
unappreciatiye of the ne
eessity of methods commonly used
against a rival in news gathering,
but I suggest that-as newspaper
nen-we should be as valorous as
ire the pugihstic brethren and not
strike below the hplf.f'
