SEES AND CONVERTED.

1t is with a great deal of regret that
the announcement in the Fitzgerald
Dali Press is noted, whereby Editor
Jack Jones informs the public that
after thirty days experience in the
world of daily journalism, he has de
cided to discontinue the publication
of the daily paper, and return to the
weekly basis.
At the time of the announcement
the Times-Recorder commented to the
effect that is best wishes was with the
thriving city of Fitzgerald. but that i.
hesitated to reflect on the success of a
daily newspaper.
1t all comes back to the old, oil
story of too much of good thing. A
fantastic idea seems to have been
launched that the daily newspaper is
money mint, and that in short
while it can lay up treasures which
would make old Croesus eye with
envy.
The life of the newspaper is hard.
and the larger it grows the harder the
way grows. Undaunted it sets its
task, and accomplishes something, ana
generally something good.
The newspaper is a hero whose
praises go unsung, unless the news
paper itself puts aside its robe OF
consciousness and reminds the public
of its usefulness,
Editor Jones will not soon be SO
quick to begin another daily newspa-
per, and we are sorry that his venture
was mot a success. But weekly
journalism will count him as an in.
valuable asset.

This news will console the skeptic
Now he knows that there are really
several English soldiers on the front
in Belgium and France. Now he can
see that the allies have fighting men
on the WESTERN front, rather than ad-

1t is argued from several sources
that the Germans cannot afford to
send single soldier from the eastern
theatre to the scene of the Anglo
French movements. The Teutons
ave conquered great area in the

S|cOURNEY TO PUT
UP ELECTR0L|ER5
CLUB DECIDES TO
HAVE STREETS WELL
LIGHTED.

Sigourney, May 19.-At a recent
meeting of the city council, acting in
conjunction with the commercial club,
definite arrangements were entered in
to whereby an electrolier system OF
lighting the principal streets of the
city was entered into. The arrange
ment entered into is that the business
men are to purchase and have set in
place. the electroliers ready for use
and then the electric current is to be
paid for by the city. The commercial
club appointed committee to canvass
the business men and the residents
of the streets where it was desired to
erect the electroliers and the COM
mittee reported that each and all of
the business men and residents had
agreed to the arrangement. On the
square there are to be two electroliers
to each half block, to be stationed at
equal distances apart around the en-
tire square. Then on Main street north
from the square the electroliers are to
be about one to the block down to
the Rock Island station, and also on
Jefferson street from the square north
to Milwaukee station there are to be
electroliers one to the block
This, it is believed. will furnish
highly satisfactory lighting system for
all Of the business portion of the city
and also for the two streets to the
railroad stations where most OF the
travel takes place at night.
