ADVERTISING GRAFTERS

If the postage that is wasted in en-
deavoring to get free advertising IN
these columns was saved it would
amount to a neat sum in a year. There
is enough free dope sent to this paper
every week to fill all the readable
space. A yawning waste basket eats
up the stuff without a murmur.-Iro-
Quois Chief.
The Chiefs position on the free adj
vertising graft is well taken. The
mail of the Daily News, and of every
other paper in the land, is cluttered
with free advertising stuff from auto
mobile manufacturers, from boards OF
trade of various enterprising cities,
from real estate dealers sending ad-
vertising thinly disguised as news"
and from dozens of other sources. The
grafters must be able to work some
newspapers, else they would discon-
tinue their expenditures for postage
and printing, but 1t is difficult to see
how any newspaper can use some of
the stuff that Is sent out, the advertis-
ing portion of the communication be-
ing so plainly in evidence.
But the grafters are not confined to
out of town solely. Every paper has
to battle continuously with the home
CRATER as well, who kindly furnishes
material ito fill the paper" which is Of
no possible Value to the average read
er as news, though 1t may be of great
value to the person contributing it. as
advertising matter. 1t is often hard
for the newspaper to turn down" the
home CRATER, but a little backbone and
part of the publisher can bring this
about. One of the greatest CRAFTS that
publishers in villages, towns and small
cities are the victims of, is at the
hands of schools, churches, lodges or
other local institutions, when they put
on an entertainment of any kind. For a
very few dollars worth or sO-called
complimentary" tickets, the publish
er is frequently required to give very
many dollars worth Of free "puffs" be-
fore the entertainment and a most
eulogistic write-up afterward. DC.
c~asionally there is a newspaper who
adopts the policy Of accepting no free
tickets, handling such affairs solely on
a business basis. In such instances,
the publisher Is saved an enormous
amount of trouble and fault-inding,
and even the local institutions them
selves rather like 1t when they be-
come used to the idea.-Aberdeer
News.

Social Circle of M. e. Church
Thursday Mrs. Fem was the pleasant

to trade here because he could

Miss Esther Smell arrived home Fri
day evening from d most enjoyable
trip to Texas. She visited at points
within fifteen miles of Brownsville,
but was advised not t o 90 to the latter
place, the conditions there being re-
edrded as rather unsettled owing 10
the Mexican situation. Miss Smell re-
ports, however, that there is compar-
atIyely little attention given 10 war
talk in the parts of Texas where she
spent most of her vacation. She
brought home with her some interest
ing specimens of the products of that
part of the country, among them be-
ing a lemon weighing sixteen ounces.
The lemon was beginning TO ripen
when picked and it is said that a tree
two years old will produce as many
as 1000 lemons. The banana trees
seen by Miss Smell were from eighteen
to twenty feet in height, the blossoms
being dark red in color, with four
petals. \ petal brought by Miss Smell
was seventeen inches in length. She
also brought samples of fruits and
nuts which form an unique collection.

The Mexican Situation.

The news that comes from Mexico
10 mot Of a nature to strengthen con-
1dence as to the prospect for peace
order and benefcent government IN
that unhappy country. The rivalr1es
and ambitions of leaders who seem
TO put personal considerations above
4be cause of their country may be &C
oapted as explanation of the spectacle
that is now presented across the Rio
Cronde Carranza on the one hand
and Villa on the other appear to
renresent the two leading factions
of sentiment and aspiration. Impair
tia1 observers, who have feared all
along that Mexican leaders could not
mite in harmonious and patriotic eff
fort for the welfare Of their land,
have seen their apprehension Jut1-
fed bv recent developments. At any
moment we may see the Mexicans
again engaged in an armed struggle
fully as bitter and as general as that
of Huerta and Carranza-and as to
the outcome or end no man can risk
Judgment as to what it will be.
The situation holds grave interest
for the American people and govern
ment. The four years of strife and
disorder in Mexico have brought a
toll of solicitude and material loss to
Americans.
