ROTAR|ANS SCORE
GREAT BEAT" IN
BOOSTER EDITION
Live Wire Organization Takes
Possession Of Newspaper
Plant of C. B. Cooke and Ev-
erybody Works Before Eats.

one OF the biggest sLulltS eNci
pulled off by the Richmond Rotary
club was that OF last night when the
organization invaded the newspaper
plant OF Charles b. Cooke, president
Of the Evening Journal company, and
one of the most enthusiastic OF Ro-
tarians. and showed him how to get
out real live. bristling. booster edi-
ton.
The Rotarians took complete pos
session of the outht. and though Off
ciaIiy the staff and force lacked the
"devil'--every other possible position.
even to water boy, being filled-end
while everything but the finished
stereotyped plates were pied" they
caught the malls and got the edition
on the street in time.
In doing this the Rotarians showed
Mr.. Cooke how TO do thing he and
his force cannot do. That is to have
a staff and force so large in each
department OF his institution that
some member is at all times in the
way of one or more of the rest, and
get out on the minute.
The paper. "profuseiy" illustrated,
with pictures. advertisements and
puffs of Rotary members, is a mar
vel in four pages of seven columns
each. 1t contains more things than
anything snort OF twenty-elght coll
umn description could cover.
The society editor, because OF his
righteousness and the full dress he
wore, across the front Of which he
carried a sign showing his title, ap-
peared to be carrying on his shoulders
more responsibility than did even tho
managing editor. The society editor
was Alvin Nj. Smith. The managing
editor was Sam Rosendorf.
After the Rotary edition" of the
Journal had gone to press, j. Taylor
Curtis had his hands full in directing
the mailing department Here, as
everywhere else, everyone seemed in
the way. and more than one was spat-
tered with the paste that shot from
the brush vigorously welded on a lot
of wrappers by Marx .Gunst.
The Rotarians at one time faced a
grave situation. and for a few min
/ utes it looked as though the malls
would go without the paper.
There was a strike in the sterotyping
room, it's actual head Charles Barlow.
regular Journal employe. who in
sisted he knew more about sterotyp-
| ing than do the Rotarians and who
stuck around to do the job. got peeved
when the admen. mailingroom men and
| the e4tNstaff- entered department
and made various more less ire
levant remarks as to how the mats"
should be placed, Barlow struck His
helpers struck with him and many in
! ducements were held out before he
called it off. Such arbiters as Sam
Rosendorf and his confreres proved
themselves to be, certainly showed
! Charlie Cooke and A. r. Holderby
how to settle lshor disputes.
After the paper was out every
body got to the storeroom on the sec
! ond floor and ate.
