Running Country Weekly, Says
/ One Who knoWs-Print shop NOT
an Eiysium FOR Lazy Man.
We are asked to elaborate upon
| the fun of publishing a country pa
per, by which it is meant, we sup
satisfaction experienced by the ed
1tor in the accomplishment OF his
chosen work, that OF enlightening and
entertaining his readers.
We do not know it we are able to
handle this abstruse question as it
deserves, having been in the lime
light only a short time. We there
| fore approach this subject with hesi-
tation and humility; but, neverthe-
less, We approach it.
II there is any fun in publishing a.
paper OF any sort | have never found
it. But / find there's lots of work

that will cause the goose grease Of
subcutaneous origin to ooze forth
from the pores of the pencil showers
skin until it covers his whole
anatomy. leaving in it's wake, if
not death and destruction, then dirt
| and dependency, clear to- the tips OF
his fingers and feet.
BY the word editor | mean a man
who thinks, not an automation, or a
parrot, nor even q monkey, but a
man who, like Collins Mutton Ma
terIal, has a head of his own and
| uses it.
To such there is a. world of salts
faction in publishing a paper Of any
sort, and he puts his whole soul into
his work
His is the joy-not the fun-of a
good work well done, and he lives
and dies accordingly.
Whoever deludes himself with the
thought of a soft snap in a print
shop will see his disillusionment melt
away before many moons, and he will
wish heartily and yehemently (and
continually that he had never been
born. print shop is not an elysium
for lazy man, il there be such a
place prepared for such a man, which
doubt
From foreman to devil, from proof
reader to pressman, there is work,
work, Work-nothing but woodwork
and discrimination, good judgment.
Work to select that which he should
print to please and to instruct. Work
to eliminate that which would give
needless offanse or do injustice; and
thought and work to say that which
must be said in such a manner as to
make it understood without being
misunderstood by any one.
We said there is no fun in run
ming a country weekly but we will
take that back. There is. For ex-
ample, there's the fun of5 learning to
| set type; the fun of learning to know
b from d, and sp from the fun Of
correcting typographical errors and
reading writing that looks like chick
en- tracks and spelling like Josh Bill
Ings.
All this is very funny to man
who has no sense of humor or appre-
citation Of the ridiculous; but not
otherwise.
To the editor (not the visItorl be-
longs the spoils, or rather, the spoil
ing Tor making and unmaking), of
statesmen, constitutions, institutions
and laws. And herein is the real
fun, that is to say, the real enjoy
ment of running a paper--the pleas
ure and consciousness of doing good
unto your fellows and thereby leaving
the world better and wiser and hap
pier for your having lived in IT.

Potato Raising Profitable

-
Belle Helene, La, June 80, 1914.
Editor Chief:
It may be of interest to some to
read of the outcome of Irish potato
planting by the Belle Helene Farmers
Association. Our association shipped
four carloads to Cincinnati, and not
until after shipping did we realize
that we had made some serious mis-
takes, all of which are attributable to
not having in advance the infornla-
ton as to grading, packing, and,
most serious of all, the variety best
suited to the northern trade. Our
association members planted only the
white potato, which is an inferior
selling potato on the northern market.
The Bliss Triumph, on the Cincinnati
market were bringing from fifty to
seventy-five cents per 90-pound sack
more than any Of the white varieties.
I also gained the Information that
to secure the best prices for our
produce it is necessary to exercise
the best care in grading and packing
and in this way attract the high
grade buyers on the market, as all
inferior goods are sold to an Inferior
trade. Still with all of our mistakes,
I made a very profitable showing on
seven acres planted to potatoes on
RearWood plantation, as the state
ment herewith will show:

loved by large circle of friends
here and elsewhere.

daughter Carrie who departed this
life about 5 years ago and we are

Warning Against Danger
Gus Preserving Pow
ders, Etc.

THE attention of the department
has recently been called to the wide
spread use, especially in rural COM
munities, of salicylic acid in putting
up preserves.
The head of a large drug and
chemical supply house states that
people living in southwest Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Ken
lucky. Tennessee, and western
Georgia, have been purchasing
salicylic acid in IA pound packages
for a number of years and that this
practice has grown to an enormous
extent. This dealer states further,
that only few weeks ago be receiv-
ed an order from one wholesale
grocer for fifty gross of these goods.
The department is aware that
this practice is not confined to
salicylic acid under its own name
alone but that large quantities of
this acid and of boric acid as well,
are sold under fanciful names as
preserving powders or canning COM
pounds at prices which are much in
excess of their real value.
In the directions for use, the
housewife is told to fill the jar with
the fruit or vegetables, cover with
water, and add a teaspoonful of the
powder. 1t is true that these pow
ders may prevent the decay of the
fruit or vegetable, but they also
encourage uncleanly or careless
work and their excessive use may
be attended with very serious effects
upon the health. Salicylic acid is
a medicine of the greatest value in
acute articular rheumatism and
certain other diseases. 1t is we'll
known as poisonous substance,
any one Of the evils which may
accompany its use is arrangement
of the digestion: It is therefore
plain thstgits extensive use in food
may lead to disturbances of diges-
ton and health.
1T is entirely practicable to put
up both fruits and vegetables in
such manner that, if not opened,
they will keep indefinite. by steriliz.
ing the products by means of heat,
and there is no excuse for running
any risk by using preserving pow
ders."
If you should desire any informa-
ton on canning traits, jellies, etc..
write Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., and they'll
send you information free.
