Friday Afternoon Session.

promptly at 2 o'clock by vice presi

ing paper was read.
Clubbing Newspapers.
Paper read before the State Press
Association, in annual session at Ard
more, Oklahoma, May IS, 1914, by
Frank d. Northup, of the Oklahoma
Farm JournaD.
AT the outstart, I'm going to lay
down the proposition that the publish
er who offers other publications in
connection with his own as subscrip
tion getters, admits that his paper
isn't worth the price he asks for it
at isn't good business for, him any
more than it would be good business
for my paper to club with farm papers
outside the state. Such policy would
be suicidal to our business. We look
upon this state as our preserve and
as such, protect it for ourselves as
best we may. The community in
which the country publisher operates
is his preserve and a policy detriment
al to his best interests is followed
when he permits himself to be persu
AIDED to club some other paper will
his own. These publishers have ia
cilities for producing paper at much
less cost, and the local patriotism in
the average reader is not so pro
nounced that he going to ungrudging
ly pay a higher subscription price
than he knows the other fellow asks
A paper made to stand on its own
merits will make a place for itself
more speedily and quickly than a pa
per of equal merit that has been Sc.
cured through clubbing propositions.
When a subscription to the country
paper expires, the subscriber wants
another paper with it. Often the pub
Usher loses the subscriber, but al
ways he loses the money. Again, in
a measure, he assumes responsibility
for the information that the club
bing paper hands out Often, too Of
ten, this information is detrimental to
the subscriber. | know good country
papers that struggle along trying TO
keep alive a 400 or 500 circulation in
communities that have been ruined
by the clubbing process.
I'm getting more papers than
can read
How familiar. That sentence has
given everyone of you many a jolt
when you needed the price of just
one more subscription mighty badly
And you are handicapped in your ar
gument because you know it's true
and many of the 'you's' here are part
ly responsible for the condition-and
the chances are you were offering an
other collection of 'never-stops' at
the time in connection with your
own! True, many of these papers go
unread And it's Just as well for most

Yellow Fever on the Amazon.

Iquitos is a town on the Amazon riv-

An equatorial swamp not only sur
rounds the place, but thrusts invading
swales into the city itself. Open sew
ers run the length Of the principal
streets, which are quite innocent OF
paving. Yet an American surgeon.
loaned from the public health service
and Loyalty supported by the Peruvian
government Of the place, has driven
out yellow fever even under such dis

excuse has any American city for har-
boring preventable disease?-Chicago

Omnibus was an almost brand
new word in its modern sense when
Shillibeer took it from the French IN
1929, and in France the name pos
sessed special significance for those
who knew their history. for from 1872
to 1879 Paris had already seen regu-
lar service Of roomy public vehicles,
"carosses a cinq SOUS" Only these
predecessors Of the modern bus We're
not "omnibus"-for all. The letters
patent which instituted them for the
benefit Of middle class people laid
down that they were not to be used by
soldiers, lackeys or any other wearers
Of livery or artisans and laborers
These exclusive vehicles faded out Of
existence, and the new ones, which
were started in Paris in 1928, were
named Omnibus" expressly to signify
their democratic character. - London
