GETTING NEWS "sALLED UP"

Knowing the difficulties that besel
the makers OF daily newspapers and
how in spite OF all their strenuous
efforts to get the news straight they
often fail, we always hesitate to call
attention TO any OF their shortcom
ings. 1t is frequently long way from
the place where piece Of news orfgi-
mates to the point where it comes out
OF the printing press as a finished
product. and after it has gone through
SO many hands, no one need wonder if
it gets ~balled up"
One OF our friends in Dallas sends
us clipping from the Dallas News
containing dispatch from Chickasha
that is such tumble Of errors that it
is ludicrous. The dispatch, under a
Chickasha date line. says:
~The Elks gave Christmas tree
tonight to 300 children whom Santa
Claus might have missed There is
not family in this city but Will have
a good Christmas dinner tomorrow,
due to the well-organized charity
movement of the women OF Guthrie.
The only errors in the dispatch are
the following: The Elks didn't give
the said Christmas tree, but it was
given by bunch Of voluntary Good
Fellows" Elks and non-Elks at the
Elks hall. There were not three hun
dred children, but something like two
hundred, and the women Of Guthrie
didn't furnish good Christmas dinner
for every family in Chickasha.
As matter OF fact most of the fam
lilies in Chickasha provided their own
dinners and those who were not able
to do so were supplied by the good
women Of this city. The word "Guth-
rie" in the dispatch was of course, 2 |
slip Of the telegraph operator. the |
typesetter or the proofreader, all OF
whom. had their minds so full Of
Christmas thoughts that in the rush
to get ready for Santa Claus, their
blunder was not an objectionable one.
Our Dallas friend who sent us the
clipping, said she was puzzled to know
what 1t meant intimating that It must
DO new departure" for Chickasha's
poor to depend upon Guthrie charity.
We sincerely trust that the explana-
tion we have given will clarity her
mind on the subject
