An Arkansas story: A wide-awake
manager of newspaper wanted to
increase outside circulation and sent
solicitor into the wilds of Arkansas
to secure subscriptions. AT the first
house 1 visited, said the visitor in
describing his experiences, 1.-THE
daughter told me that her pa and
ma were down in the cornfield. /
went down to the field and there the
old woman had the old man hitched
to a pillow. / talked to her first and
explained all the advantages of our
great newspaper, but She wouldn't
subscribe. l then talked to the old
man and he wouldn't fall for me.
Finally 7 became rather exasperate
and spread it before him. There,
1 said, lis the greatest newspaper in
the world and at the same time
giving the paper loud smack with
my open hand. Do you know what
that old fool did. He ran away and
broke that pillow all to pieces.
