The last member on the program

proved by Mrs. Lee j. Rountree, one
of Texas most accomplished ladies.
Her topic was 1.-THE Editors Wife, a
subject she handled with skill, which
indicated she was a typical EDITORS
wife. She made no claims as a writer,
but said she vas meeting the first pre-
requisite of being an editors wife, to
do what you are told to do, regardless

closed by saying "That In no sphere

superior adaptability as that of being

Are The "Ads" Worth Reading7'
One morning last winter, an author
whose name is known throughout the
country called upon a wealthy friend,
one of the country's captains of in

He found the famous business man
in his library surrounded by piles of
newspapers and magazines.
"Do you read all this2" asked the
author.
IT read what you WRITE" responded
the captain OF industry, and, OF course,
the leading news of the day, but, outl
side of these, I read principally the adj
vertisements.

abreast Of the times without reading the
advertisements.
''They hold the news Of the indus

The relation of the newspaper to it's
readers was the dominant theme which
was ably handled In all its various
phases in seven splendid addresses and
papers given at the morning session OF
the second day Of the convention.
George e. Hosmer, Of the Fort Nor

the Association. presided at this SEES
sion.
A paper prepared by E.H. Hogue, OF
the Eaton (Colo.) Herald, on the topic
"What Should Be the Attitude Of the
Editor Toward His Readers was read
by Homer Harwood, of Warren, Mich.
Mr.. Hogue pleaded for an attitude OF
charity and Of friendliness on the part
OF the editor. In determining his atti-
tude toward the reader, the editor
should put himself In the readers place
and the result would invariably be that
the attitude adopted would be that "oi

buttrcss tho position OF those who
plead for this country to embark in
tho same expo rimcnt
According TO an extended article In
the London Spectator, the post-onic
department now frankly admits that
government operation of tclcgraphs is
n complete financial failure" and
the Spectator finds that operation OF
the telephone lines is likely soon to
reach the same condition. The latest
reports show a small and steadily de-
creasinE return on the Investment, ac-
counpanted by general and vigorous
criticism of the quality of the service.
The net loss OF revenue amounts to
S5Oo,o0o year, as compared with tho
era OF private ownership. and there IL.
OF course, an enormous addition to tho
national debt.
