WHERE THE DIFFER
ENcE COMES IN

A well-known Kentucky editor. tand
he was as well-known in Paris as L.
any other city in the State). was once
asked by a number of his patrons who
had sent in many communications TO
his paper, why the same did not ap-
pear in the paper. His answer was
that What you write is advertising;
what we want is news" 1t is some
times very difficult to draw the distlnc-
ton between news and advertising.
This old editor, however, hit the nail
on the head.
Some of the richest corporations,
great steel works, railroads, political
parties. educational commissions, and
Lord knows what Others, are sending
their plate matter out broadcast in the
hope that the country publisher will
accept it and publish it "free-gratis-for-
nothing" as news items, thus giving
them the benefit of large amount OF
free advertising. All this stuff is car
ried (out) by us absolutely free, and Is
promptly consigned to the cavernous
depths of a very capacious waste baS'
ket, from whence it is taken later on
to a large able-bodied paper baler, and
that's the last of il. People who are
able to pay can no longer put over
such a clear case of graft on the Ken
lucky country newspaper, as indicated
very clearly by the decisive action
taken at the recent meeting in Lex
ington.

DID YOU GET ONE?

Last week we mailed out several
thousand subscription statements.
Some people called them "duns.' .
About fifty per cent replied to them.
The majority just mailed checks
without comment; some were insulted
by being "dunned;" others claimed
that the statements were incorrect.
and some of them were. We all
make mistakes. However, they were
cheerfully corrected.
We mailed these statements be-
cause the money was due and we
needed it, We didn't mean to hurt
anyone's feelings-we just wanted
the money and politely asked for it.
Now if you laid your statement aside
without letting us get a reply from it,
please hunt it up, as it costs money
for stamps and stationery to ask you

amount you may owe Be a good fell

SEVERE WEATHER.

On account of the snow blockade
and the severe weather of the pas.
week, which kept the country people
prisoners in their homes, and
the gas famine of the first part of the
week in Paris, there was probably less
business done in Paris in that time
than for any similar period in the
city's history. Business for a time
was practically at standstill, and il
was almost impossible to issue a news
paper, too. Yet THE NEWS, which
has never missed an issue in the
thirty-six years of its existence, man.
aged to get out a really readable
paper, considering the difficulties in
the way.

Musings" THE NEWS will, beginning
with the current issue, Friday, Janl-

dealing with the problems of the re-
tail trade as especially applied to
towns the size of Paris. We realize
that the retail stores of a city are
stnong it's most important institutions.
The prosperity, success and comfort OF
living of town depends largely OH
the enterprise shown by the mer-
chant, and the quality of service they
render. Many of our people do not
realize all the difficulties the mer
chants have to contend with in offer
ing this service. An account of some
Of the problems they have to meet,
and a discussion of the relations ex-
listing between the retail store and
the public, will be given in these ar
ticles.
Among the subjects to be discussed
are the following: Necessity of Unity
Among MerchantS;" "The Service
Rendered By the Home Stores" THE
Problem of Returning Goods" THE
Training of Salespeople; Attracting
Trade From Distant Points," etc. The
ideas and information in these
articles have been CLEANED from PEI

Wherever people come together the
air is full of glances, and yet for the
most part they are stolen, for the UNI
written law in such cases is that one
person shall not look openly into the
eyes of another unless some mutual
acquaintance has uttered the meaning
less but extraordinarily important
words of introduction. Perhaps ii is
because custom demands that among
strangers glances of shy appraisal or
frank interest must be stolen that
they are so intense. so furtive, and, In
the main, so interesting. The princi
pal difficulty in learning about them
from observation is, of course. that in
order to observe one must of necessity
steal a few chances. What one can
learn in a brief glance is little, but
with practice it becomes greater. and
"a skilled observer. used to think
quickly and to the point about what h7
sees, can see and learn much without
making a braZen nuisance OF himself.
In crowds. where il is easy TO o.

siveness. both persons will react TO
the situation at about the same time,
and again there will be clash OF
glances. this time followed by reso-
Iute turn of the head. Seemingly the

something about the other and about

But within the observed one curl

Then automatically the observed per-
son Classics himself before the world.
