A FEW NEWSPAPER DONT'S

Don't take your home paper.
1t is the most active and powerful
factor in building up your town,
and to support it would involve
you in the work.
Don't pay for it if you take it.
Newspapers are run on wind,
and the editor wouldn't keep the
money anyway. He'd most like
ly pay it on his bills.
Don't fail to tell the editor how
to run the paper. He has nothing
to do but to listen and keep his
temper sweet.
Don't put your name to what
you want published. It's the ed
itor's business to espouse unpop-
ular causes and rake your chest
nuts out of the fire. What hurts
your business might also hurt his
but that's different.
Don't notify the editor when
you change your postoffice adj
dress. He may lose track of you
and you will escape paying the
last two or three years of your
subscription.
Don't forget to write on both
sides of the paper. The printers
might forget how to swear.
Don't write your communica-
tons legibly. Deciphering them
keeps the editor busy and he is
able to make an occasional blum
der, which promotes good feel
ing all around.
Don't imagine that the news
paper man has anything to do
Newspapers print themselves and
the ravens feed the printers.

900 miles to its credit. Mr.. Owens au-

Owens in this car nearly five years
ago. Leaving Birmingham, he trav-
eled to Detroit, then proceeded to
Yellowstone Park and California, Wis
iting Los Angeles and other western
points. From there he returned to
Birmingham. The remarkable feature
of this trip was that the actual dis
lance covered was 1890 miles and the
total cost of repairs and other auto
mobile expenses, outside of the con-
sumption of fuel, was but $3.50.
