Observation-Disclosures

A quiet" wedding took place
in Gettysburg township Thanks
giving day, at the home of the
brides parents. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hugh Wager, when Mr.. John

united in marriage to Miss Cora
Wager. MIR. Anthony E. Rome

bridal party. The bride was born
and raised in this county and the

Immediately after the wedding the
couple left for the east on a short
pleasure trip, after which as we
understand, they will make their
home at Timber Lake.

The Press had the same problem
on its hands as the Potter County
News, from which we quote the
following extract; only ours is
about four times worse. The
Press is of the decided opinion that
Uncle SAINTS not so poverty .strick-
en- that he needs to get all of the
"dope" that he is sending so pro-
miscuously to the country news
papers free of charge. Why should
the country press print any more
of it than the larger weeklies do?
"Answer us this"
1.-The News believes that it is as
patriotic as any paper should be,
and has donated literally of it's
space to give publicity to measures
of Importance in connection with
the war. But even the patriotism
of an editor is strained at times
when be c%ontemplates the vast
amount of matter which comes in
his mail every day, with the re-
quest that it be published without
expense to the government. If
we published all of the matter that
comes along in this way we would
be obliged to install a perfecting
press, buy paper by the carload,
install another linotype OF two,
and hire day and night crews of
operators. And after it was pub.
lisbed, but very little of it would
be read. 1t really seems that the
government and the various pat
riotic organizations might conserve
mail car space and labor, clerk
hire, paper and overhead expense,
to say nothing of editorial patience,
if about SO percent of this class of
matter were eliminated. Its ply
sically impossible for any paper to
publish even a small fractional
part of it so whats the use of get
ting it ready and sending it out.
