That Is why they, az II rule. are not
great financial successes and, on the
other hind. get the most fun out Of

Specialization seems to be the mex

country editors attain financial success
by specialization In the business end,
others by paragraphing, others by chas-
Ing locals. others by bearing down on
the subscription list pedal, others by
job printing. and~so 1t goes.
The job of the country editor is in
class by itself There Is no more SINH
larity between the work of Il country
editor and that Of a city newspaper
worker than there is between peeling
potatoes and playing tuba. The city
man is specialist. He writes para
graphs or attends police court or oper-

nothing more.
Out in the country town his COM
