Genuine Power Of the Press.

Sehuine power Of tHe Press.
But II the men who make news
papers manage 10 get some fun out OF
the work it is not to De thought that
they do not realize the seriousness OF
their jobs. II that which IS important
is serious We have few things more
serious than the newspaper OF today.
You have heard and read o. the power
OF the press. The press has a power
but it IS contingent on tEe work Of
press. A newspaper that is not honest
has no power. The people pay at.
-ention to the honest and decent
newspaper just as they pay attention
To the honest and decent man and
they give no attention 10 the news
paper that is not honest an decent.
The newspapers of the United states
are a stronger protector OF the people
than a great army. Publicity is al
most cure-all for civic evils and it
is cure that is being used more and
more each day. The public man Who
fears and therefore hate the news
papers is the public man vino should
be Put out OF public life. The honest
politician has no more reason to fear
the newspapers than has any other
honest man. He reaps only good from
publicity.

publicity has prevented an untold

and lack Of publicity has allowed
an untold amount OF grating of va.

newspapers are able to tear apar'

give publicity to their corrupt acts and
the people then rise and apply the

you have heard much Of corrup,
newspapers but If you viii analyze it

BEEF cows ARE REPORTED
SCARCE IN THIS VALLEY

That there Is a scarcity OF fat cows
for beef in this Valley Is evidenced by
the fact that Il san Francisco butcher
was here this week and was unable
to secure a carload of such stock.
Since the price of beef has been so
high. butchers have secured this see
tion for old COWS and at present the
supply is practically exhausted. How
eYr. il can be said that never before
was there better supply of prime
beef steers in this Valley than is be-
ing rattened by the farmers at the

animals are taking on weight at the
rate OF a pound and a half day and
at Christmas time will be in fiji condi-
tion for the butchers.
