TRlBULATIONS
The Journal Should Turn the Other
Cheek, of Course, but It
Just Wants to Say

The Journal regrets that an attack
from an unexpected source makes ne
ces ary the following statement regard
ing one of the most trying problems of
the average country newspaper.
Our columns are open without
charge, to the churches of Extra. The
Journal wishes this understood clearly.
Notices and items of interest regarding
the work of the Christian organizations
of the community have warm VEL
COME and are gladly given free pub
lication.
PROVIDED that same are brought in
on or before Tuesday morning of each
week. After this time, letters and
correspondence from all over the county
comes in faster than they can POSSIBLY
be taken care of; and despite the ut
most effort OF the office force there is
never week passes that good news
matter is not cut down, and omitted,
and otherwise forced out of the Journal
columns. This period of strain and
pr ssure Immediately preceding press
day is one of the hard, unyielding
FACTS of the newspaper business. It
can not be imagined away or "pooh-
poohed" away In The words of Mr..
Cleveland, "It is a condition, not a
theory, which confronts u.s."
For the above reasons, we have asked
repeatedly, and as urgently as we have
known how, that church notices be
brought in not later than Tuesday
morning We regret to say the requests
have been disregarded. The notices
have usually come in instead Wednes-
day evening, and frequently even
Thursday morning. 1t is necessary
then to abridge them, because it is
physically impossible to do anything
else.
In view of the tardy appearance of
these notices, we can see no just ground
for the unreasoning bitterness and re-
sentiment shown because said notices
have neen abridged. 1t can easily be
shown that there has never Been an
alienation of this sort, when the copy
has been brought in at the time reques-
ted.
The Journal does not care to quarrel
because it believes quarreling improper
and unseemly in a Christian commun-
ity. But with all due allowance for
human frailty, it can not, of course, al
low itself to be made victim of MIS-
REP PRESENTATION.

Checkers

Checker playing is the innocent
but interesting game participated
ln by our citizens these cold days.

Pionship games. Yesterday, Mr..

Donaldson of Anita and Jack Irwin,
the champion player of Wiota all
came up to play our men,

Eight Grade Rural Examinations

the State Department has made
slight change in time of February
examination. The time of holding,
this examination will be Tuesday and
Wednesday, February Goth and 21st.
Pupils of Eight Grades in city or
parochial schools may be admitted to
these examinations by arrangement
with the County Superintendent.
The State Department wishes all
exanainations taken at Central place
as it is far more satisfactory. Owing to
bad roads we have deviated from this
rule more or less as has been done in
other places in the states.
The examination papers pass thro'
two or three different hands and pu-
pills are given little more than what
the paper calls for instead of less. The
desire is to give the pupils the benefit
of the doubt. A pupil doing good
class work during regular session of
the school should have certain per-
cent of credit for same on his exami-
nation.
Teachers have been asked to notify
us of the number of pupils wishing to.
take the work. We have received but
few notices at present writing. Teach
ers must be prompt about returning
these notices to us or serious misun-
derstanding may arise and pupils may
lose out on the examination. Exam
ination questions will be mailed Feb
ruary 10Th from this office.

CONSOLATION
If Known to Be True, How Clever
of Informant to Brace Up
Foreman with Motto

1t came last Thursday morning by
Uncle Sans postotfice-an innocent
looking package, securely wrapped, and
addressed to Bill Brinkerhoff.
When finally opened, it proved to be
a wall motto, which set forth in exquis-
ite letter'ng as follows:
"Chesr up, Bill. They amt no Hell" :"
The effect was magical. The load of
apprehension, which had weighed on
him SO long, vanished He became
jolly, not to say jovial and jocose.
But in the midst of his hilarity came
the shimmering wrath of doubt. How
did he know the good news was real y
true? 1t was anonymous, and unsign-
ed messages are unre liable as every up
to-date newspaper man we'll knows
Perhaps. after all, this was cruel,
hideous mistake.
And so, by degrees, he settled down
again into his state of gloom, but not
until he had determined to start up an
Investigation of his own to confirm OF
refute what the motto said. He wants
to know because he wants to know
And first of all he wants to know how
to find out,-without resorting of course
to extreme measures. If anyone can
help him with suggestions or advice,
the same will be deeply appreciated.
1t is a mean, mean trick to raise a
person to such heights of rapturous
ecstasy, only to push him off again
into the black, bettomless abyss. OBJ
viously, there is such thing as carry
ing joke too far.
