A Newspapers Ideals

The Herald does not like to use
its columns for shop talk" but the
following excerpt from an address
delivered by a veteran newspaper
man before a publishers assccia-
tion in a western state so clearly
expresses the sentiments of the av-
erage publisher and so forcibly de-
fines the attitude of the newspaper
toward the public that 1t is given a
position of prominence in our edi-
torial columns:
With all it's pleasures. and there
are many, there is one depressing
thing about the newspaper business.
And l do not say this with the
thought that 1t is not true of every
other business or profession. Our
revenues are seldom such that we
can reach out TO our ideals. Every
newspaper man looks forward to
the time when he shall be able To
print his entire edition upon book
paper, and when every page shall

While all Washington is warm, the

sits over n ton of ice each day, for

In Dillon county subscribe as much

Fair Association the Fair VIII be
success, but if as many as one-half
become stockholders it will be a
still greater success. The primary
consideration in the organization of
an institution of this kind is not the
amount of stock that an individual
will take, but the number of stock
holders among whom the stock will
be distributed. Therefore if every
farmer in Dillon county can be in
duced to take as much as one share
the Fair will begin business under
the most favorable auspices and it's
success will be assured from the
very beginning. A county fair is
not moneymaking institution, al
though there are instances in this
State where such institutions have
been remarkably successful from n
f$lancial point OF view, but it
is pot the purpose of the gentlemen
,ehiGd the movement to establish
a fair association in this county to
reap any great pecuniary rewards.
The main object is to stimulate an
interest in diversified farming, to
bring the farmers together at least
once year for the purpose of dis
cussing the different methods of
crop culture, to arouse a friendly
rivalry in the breeding of fine stock
and cattle and to provide some
form of amusement for those who
seek these same amusements else
where at great sacrifice of time
and money. This being the main
object of the institution the county

tions, orgaAsEed TO private gain.

institution, sort of family affair,
which keeps it's dividends at home.

have an equal share in it's benefits.

aviation field arose cries of dis

persons broke through the lines
and moved toward the scene of the
accident. The cavalry, however. by
repeated charges, managed to clear
the field and the injured men were
given treatment by the field sur
geons.
There are various versions as to
the cause of the accident Th ema-
chine was coming with such fright
full rapidity that the men had no
time to escape. Nj. Dupuy, a ne
phew of the former premier, who
arranged the race said:

Premier Monis, while being TAX

low voice: 1T is nothing, it is
nothing" and, when he had some

know that NJ. Berteaux was dead.
Pilots Explanation.
Train, the pilot of the monOplane,
who has not been prominent in
aviation circles, and his passenger,
Bounier, were examined by the
State Attorney, who is investigat-
ing the cause of the accident. Train
was heart-broken that national
calamity was due to his efforts to
avoid injury of the troops. In ex-
planation of his manoeuvres, he
said that soon after he arose into
the air it was apparent to him his
motor was not pulling properly, so
he prepared to land to regulate it..
"At that moment" said the pi-
lot. IL saw a troop of cavalry gal

Thus, her visiting friends had learned
the secret Of a sincere welcome and
fawless good time. They always
took Isabel completely by surprise.
So, It seemed to the girl that morn
ing as. on her glossy bay, she went
cantering desultorily through the
park, particularly annoying circum-
stance that Alex. Holt, the person
above all whom she had been longing
to see, should plan his visit with such
stupid precision-even to the hour Of
his arrival. Why! II he had come un-
expectedly, Just popped into view
some evening, from behind the shrub
berry or the fountain, he could have
taken her in his arms, and all that
silly nonsense Of courtship and pro-
pOsal would have been obviated. And
how gloriously surprised she would
have beeni
Isabel was fully warranted in i'm
agining such a scene as this. Fur
Alex. had given her to understand be-
fore he went away that 1t was only
his indefinite position in the business
world that kept him from suing for
an immediate contamination Of their
girl and boy devotion. And now that
he had made good, there was no mis-
taking the tenor Of his letters or his
purpose In returning at this time.
When Alex. arrived, Isabers JOY at
seeing him almost swept away her
whimsical displeasure. His manly
force, his deferential devotion to her
self might at any moment have
taken Isabers despotic affections by
storm. II he had chosen-just any
moment. That was the df1iculty.
Alex. Holt, in his careful and system
attic mans mind, set about to lay the
foundations securely for the blIsGful
climax.

west. Isabel. still brave, volunteered
to see him on. 2
It was dusk when the brakeman
shouted IAN aboard" and Isabel

from the rear platform. hurried
through tho long train shed toward
the waiting-room. II was an abrupt
action on her part, but she could not
wait to see the train pull out. Sha
had managed 30 smile back at him.
but now her face was all a-Quiverl
and the station lights began to danO4
before her eyes. It had been the

ever Said---and It was the last.

To get away from there, some place
where she could not attract the atten-

to find q secluded corner where she
might have her cry out, was Isabel'n
purpose now.
And az she hurried along she no7
ticed step behind her, distinctive In
all the crowded confusion. Powerlesa
to resist an imperative impulse, she
turned about, to face-Alex. Holt!
He stopped abruptly As she paused.
and then sprang toward her. Cap
turing both her hands, he gaEed down
into her tremulous, tear-wet eyes,
and read her very soul. He did not
speak. As he put his hand on her
arm to lead her away he only laughed
softly, q chuckle Of half-crodulcug
gladness.
Neither spoke.
Alex. hailed a carriage, put her In
and took seat by her side.

asked, looking up to the face Of the
young man, bent close to hers.

You planned It all-oh, Alex.l"
For answer he put his arm about
