MAKING A NEWSPAPER

The making of newspaper is a
big thingl
A hundred great inventions had to
be made before the modern, up-to-
date, newspaper could be printed.
Come into The Citizen Office and
look around. How do we manage to
get the news from all the counties,
and states, and the wide world?
Trains and telegraphs are busy day
and night getting in the news for US.
And where do we gather the jokes,
the articles for farmers, housekeep-
ers, and children, the stories and DO
ems that enrich our pages? Men OF
thought and men of science are at
work for us.
And it is a curiosity to see the
type setting machine, and the print
ing press, and the folding machine,
and the addressing machine. And
think what it means to keep our &C
counts square with each one Of all
our subscribers.
We believe we furnish the best
family newspaper in all the South,
but we have plans for making it still
better, and it takes work, and brains
and money.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1914-09-10
WHY THE CITIZEN COSTS

People ask why The Citizen costs
more than the st. Louis Star and
some other papers.
All local papers cost more than
the great city papers, and most pa
pers as large and well printed as
The Citizen cost $3.50 a year.
We use good paper so that child
rem and old people can read IL
easily. The white paper on which
The Citizen is printed costs us near
ly twice what ii did when we be-
gan.
We print no immoral advertise
ments, and no fraudulent or doubt
full advertisements, and no adver-
tisements OF liquor or tobacco.
We get no subsidy from any po-
litical party.
The Citizen is not run 10 make
money. All we get is laid out In
making the paper as good as IL can
be made. The present Editor has no
salary, and the stockholders who
own the paper do not expect TO make
anything on their investment. We
are out to do good and to help the
families that subscribe.
II is impossible TO make a paper
like The Citizen and put the sub
scription price at less than one dol
lar.
And we intend TO give the sub
scriber information and inspiration
in every single number that is worth
that whole dollarl Read il and
judge for YOURSELF

THE NEWSPAPER IN THE HOME


There are homes in which there is
no newspaper.
There are homes in which there
is a no-account newspaper.
There are homes in which there
is a bad newspaper.
And there are homes in which
there is a good newspaper.
And you can soon tell the differ
ence in the children Of those homes.
Where there is no newspaper, or
only a no-account newspaper, the
whole family seems asleep. They
do not know what is going on in
the world. They only hear what
their neighbors tell them. The
children learn a little at school and
then forget it. Other homes are
frightened by news, new inventions,
higher pleasures, but the home
without a newspaper is asleep.
The home with bad newspaper
is stirred up in the wrong way. The
children read of vice and crime. The
mother is set agog for town finery
ard discouraged in her home duties.
The father is filled with prejudices
and false notions. The home IS
poisoned.
The home with a good newspaper
has a school house and church
house and an entertainment hall by
its own flreside every week.

Berea's Invitation

Berea College drums for students
For many years students have been wanting come
than Berea could find shelter for that in the winter term

But Berea does expend effort in trying to pick out

after they get their education.
We time the disspated the frivolous or
the stupid And there really good people who have
different ideas from and who had better other schools
But anxious that those who believe the things

them.
Let parents and young people read the following account
Of Berea and whether this the kind of school they

He Asks Republicans to Ratify the
Action Of the Committee Before
Jan. /.
Charles d. Hines. chairman OF the
Republican national committee made
public in New York Tuesday the pro
posed plan TO decrease the percentage
OF the southern and territorial repre-
sentation in the Republican national
convention In 1916. and thereafter
from approximately 35 per cent of the
total voting strength 70 less than Is
per cent, as provided in resolutions
adopted by the committee at its meet.
ing last December.
The plan is addressed to the Repub
hcan conventions OF the several states,
which are asked TO ratify the action
OF the national body before Jan. 1,
1915.
a special committee, composed OF
c. b. Warren, OF Michigan; Senator
Borah, of Idaho, and Ex-Governor II.
d. Hatfield, OF West Virginia. drafted
the report, which embodies other res
olutions adopted by the national COM
mittee There guarantee:
Recognition, in the call to be issued
for the next national convention, Of
the right OF any state TO provide for
the election of delegates In direct pri.
maries.
The right OF any state 10 elect all
delegates from the state at large, or
part from the state at large and part
from congressional districts.
These provisions were adopted with
a view to eliminating contests before
the national body, such as in the past
have produced discord and dissension.
The plan adopted and recommended
for ratification provides that the Re
publican voters in each state shall
hereafter be represented In a national
convention Of the party by four dele
gates-at-large; two delegates for each
notwithstanding in congress;
one delegates from each congressional
district, and an additional delegate
from each congressional district In
which the vote of 1908 for any Repub-
lican elector or 6Or the Republican
nominee for congress In 1914 shall not
have been less than 1900.
Alaska and the District Of Columbia
under the plan presented will each be
entitled to two voting delegates, while
Hawaii. Porto Rico and the Philippine
Islands will each be entitled to two
delegates without the right to vote.
The result of this change in the ba-
sis Of representation, If ratified by the
requisite number of state conventions,
will be a decrease of eighty-nine votes,
as follows: Alabama will lose eight;
Arkansas, three; Florida. four; Geor- !
gia, eleven; Louisiana, eight; Missis- |
sippi, eight; New York, two; North |
Carolina, three; South Carolina, |

Of the opening anthem-one OF those

more quickly and cause the ungodly to

the singers took their seats, separat-
ing. the two higher voices to the right,
the two lower to the left side Of the
organ.

which he had written the Friday pre-
yious-toilins far into the night that it
might be concluded in time for the is
sue of sunday
The pastor began his Easter sermon,
but the Singers paid small heed: each
was busy with his or her own thoughts.
In the eyes OF Mattel Stuart. the con
tralto. came a PARKWAY look as she sat
beside her giant husband, the basso.
She was thinking that but three short
years before She had gone from that

had always proved what is known as a

cepted meaning Of the term.
For the first time IN mouths stuart
thought that perhaps he did not place
a sufficiently high value upon his wife
when his attention was attracted to
the other side Of the choir loft Some
thing unusual was going on there ap
parently.
John Crayton and Marian Griffin
were seated together. and the soprano
was so interested In what Crayton
was saying to her that she failed to
note the gaze Of the basso.
Marian had known CraytOn for a
number OF years. but had never looked
upon him as a sutton.
And now as she felt his breath upon
her cheek, heard his earnest words.
his appeal for a reply. she could only
cast down her eyes until their long
black lashes seemed to throw a shade
over her face.
The tenor seized her hand at the con
clusion Of his passionate entreaty and
was rewarded by a slight-a very
slight-pressure. which told him that
be had not pleaded in vain.
Then II was that Stuart placed his
great hand upon his wife's arm and
leaning toward her. whispered gently:
MY darling. realize now that
have been neglecting you. but ! have
not meant to do so; it was only that
didn't think"
In the eyes Of the contralto a bright
love light burned. and she patted the
hand Of the big bassO with loving
touch.
The droning Of the minister suddenly
ceased. and the rustling Of the people
below as they turned in the pews told
that the sermon was at an end.
The closing hymn was announced
and when It was finished the singers |
walked from the organ loft arm In |
arm. while Herr Steinbuch exclaimed !
"Donnerwetter! The singers seem to |
be going to the dogs. That last hymn |
was given atroeiously!
But then perhaps Herr Steinbuch |
was annoyed because he had been IN
able to find "The Decline OF the /
