AID. Powers Of Seadrift, Tex, has
started monthly paper. He has
named 1t Our Country Cousins. An
important member of his family says it
should be called Powers Psstime, "
as it will be only an expensive amuse-
ment for the editor. That expectation
remains to be proved. Powers doesn't
think so. There is a reason for bis con-
fidence in his enterprise. which is de-
signed to promote better relations be
tween town and country. The man
has genuine humor. That is a saving
grace in many emergencies. 1t pre-
vents one from making himself absurd
by taking himself too seriously. HIS
humor crops out in number of places,
For instance:
Why / do not print pictures: First
of all, pictures cost money. When I
get more subscribers and more advertis-
ing / may be able to print pictures and
also to use better paper. But there is
one trouble. Some people look at the
pictures and fail to read the printing.
Maby If there are no pictures you will
read the pape'.
Why use this kind of paper because
it's cheap. l want to make this maya
zine pay expenses. and then will use
better paper. -" My advertising
patronage is necessarily small. II that
increases, / will give you a bigger
magazine and have it printed on better
paper Don't judge Our Country
Cousins by the first issue. When you
were month old you didn't amount to
much, did you? But you grew. So
will this magazine if folks will help it.
The subscription price of this paper
is one dollar per year. / am charging
that price because ! intend to print a
paper that is worth it,
In those statements are embf died
frankness, sense of proportion and a
light heartedness that would advantage
publications of greater pretentious-
ness. Powers Knows his limitations
He wants others to know them If his
venture turns out to he only Powers
Pastime. . it will not be because Of its
inhere,t right to be otherwise. He
has an original idea He goes about
developing it in his own way. Powers
ought to make a go of his paper
