The Wauchula Advocate has lust
completed fifteen years of continuous
publication, and Editor Goolsby in
very interesting article, reviews his
work and achievements during that
time. Viewed solely in the light of
material returns, it is probable that
II the editor had put the same in
telligent effort into many other avo-
cations he would have far more to
show for his fifteen years of unre-
hitting toll. He has, however.
made a reasonable success. having
accomplished considerably more than
most country publishers do in a life
time, despite the small rewards, to-
tally disproportioned to the effort in
volved, which attend this business.
Because he has made this modest
success, which he has earned ten
times over, there are those who envy
him, and who would encourage COM
petition to enter the field. They look
at what he has done and think that
anybody can do likewise. This is
great mistake. There are very few
successful publishers in small towns
or cities, and this is emphasized by
the disastrous experience, reueated
over and over, of those who enter the
field against established newspapers,
conducted by men who have made a
life study Of the game. When a man
has served a town in the newspaper
line as well and as long as Goolsby,
he is entitled to all the patronage
that town can give him, and 1t is
not only ungrateful to attempt to rob
him of the business which he has
earned. but it is usually very unwise
as well-because such a man is pref
ty apt to hold his own against all
corners. And though opposition may
Temporarily annoy him or hamper

Southern in sentiment, yet striving
to be fair to all men and sections
was criticised because it acknowl-
edged and commented on the great
ness of Abraham Lincoln. But the
Virginia legislature adjourned in
honor of Lincolns birthday. There
are not many people left in the South
who do not feel that Lincoln be-
longed to the nation and not to any
section, and that the South rightful-
ly claims share of the honor of be-

duced him.

GASOLINE BUSINESS IS

doubleday been told that the in
creased use of autos, motor boats,
motor trucks, farm tractors is re-
sponsible for an enormous increase
in the consumption of gasoline.
And then there's the war, the
usual handy excuse for an advance
in the price of anything. The
United States exported in 1914 over
5000, 900 barrels of gasoline, and
in 1915 over 100000, or nearly

exported five years ago.

market value of the stocks of the

markedly in the last six months,
while profits and dividends have in
some instances increased as much as
100 per cent.
They will also learn that fifteen
per cent of the total production of
crude oil in 1914, about $4,000, 900
barrels, went into storage, and that

HOW THE NEWS Is HANDLED
IN THE WAR ZONES
(By Associated Press. }

Paris, March 10-The "Maison de
la Presse' or the Home of the Press
Is the name given to an elegant new
apartment building in the Rue Fran
co.'s that now shelters the War Press
service of France. All transactions
between the government and repre-
sentatives of the press, local and for
eign, are done there, excepting the
censorship of news The service has
been installed in these more com
moiious quarters in order to bring
about more satisfactory relations be-
tween the press and the government
and between the press and the army.
Though the news censorship is
kept apart, the war films are shown
there for the first time and examined
by the military authorities. Every
thing else concerning the publicity
and propaganda of the war is CEN
tered there, including the photo
graphic service. There are separate
departments for the French press and
for the foreign press with commod-
1ous waiting rooms and work rooms
for Journalists; there is a depart
ment on diplomatic information and
department on military informa-
ton, the former subsidiary to the
Foreign Office and the latter to the
War Office; it is there the war cor

more REGULAR American and ENGLISH

dred CAPABLE men, in a large proper
ton Paris newspaper men, modified
and detailed by the general staff to
do this work. There are among
them such conspicuous representa-
tives of the Paris press as Monsieur
Robert de ouvenel. Editor in Chief
of the Matin, Monsieur Chaumeix,
one of the members of the editorial
staff of the Journal des Debats, Mon
sieur Rene Paux, a war correspond
ent and number of the special staff
of the Tops.
There are also a number of men
from the diplomatic service detailed
to look after the propaganda of the
war to the limited extent that
France has engaged in such work,
but chiefly to take care of the wants
of correspondents of foreign news
papers. This service is under the
immediate direction of Monsieur
Henri ponsot, man of considerable
experience in the consular and dip
lomatic service abroad, and possess
ing the energy required, in dealing
with the mass of detail connected
with the desire Of SO many CORES
pondents to be all at the same time
on the firing line. Associated with
Monsieur Ponsot in this work is
Monsieur G. b. d'Anglade, former
consul general at New York.
All these services are under the
general direction of Monsiur Gau-
thier, selected by the Government for
general supervision of ALT he affairs
connected with the press.
The correspondent who has com
piled with the regulations adopted
at the beginning of the war, has
medical certificate, references from
his ambassador as to his honorable
ness, and who is fortunate enough to
get his permit to go to the front,
joins a party of from four to six by
rail to a point decided upon in ad-
vance, and is there met by an officer
detailed by the General Staff to show
the party over the itinerary previous
ly arranged. Few insignificant modi-
ficatlons and no changes in the tim
erary are possible, and so long as
the party is under the conduct of
the officer it is subject to military
regulations. What they see at the
front is in nearly every case a rene
tition of what was seen by the pre-
vious party, but that is the fault of

duced into the military operations a
