NEWSPAPER A BUSINESS II
STITUTlON
Most Important Function IL to Pro
vide Living for Editor and
Family.

| Unless newspaper provides a
good living for the editor and his
family it may be reckoned as a fail
ure, in the opinion of R. E. Billings,
publisher of the Menard (Texas)
Messenger, as expressed in a paper
read at the annual meeting of the
Texas Press association held at Gal
weston. Among other things he said {:
up until the last few years, the
country newspaper has not been re-
garGed as business institution. The
business men of the community
! thought Of it as a charity institution,
to which donation must be made in
return for what they considered
doubtful service.
ION the other hand, the churches,
the schools and the men pushing the
work of publicity for some commun-
ity affair, also regarded it as bust
ness institution. Only it's function
was to give for the good of the COM
munity. Most newspaper men have
donated enough charity in free ad-
vertising, printing at cost, ETC.,
which. if figured in dollars and cents
would bankrupt the average mer-
chant and give the town banker
heart failure
"The real function of the news
paper is not charity; It is not to fur
Their the interest of any group Of
politicians, (and right here let me
say tha.t I would rather have credit
at the bank than the gratitude of
any politician I ever knew it is not
merely to build up the community
| or even to save souls. The real func-
ton of the newspaper is to provide
a good living for the editor and his
family. Unless it does, il is q failure
and should be abandoned
TT is easy to get INTO the news
paper business. A job press and a
promise to pay have started many a
man who spent the following years
Ct his life eking out an existence.
I'VE owe the newspaper trust,
perhaps, debt Of gratitude for put
ting these poor follows out Of their
misery and also for making the rest
Of US get down and look to see whe-
Their or not it is worth while staying
in the game.
To-day the increased cost of
everything make s>he primary end
Of the newspaper it's financial sue
cess. Every line of space is potential
money and every inch Of print paper
means real money and the newspa-
per man is justified in getting paid
for his services.
'On the subscription end, we be-
liave that the knell of the dollar
weekly has been rung and that it,
together with the subscription based
upon the principle of pay-as-you-can
is going to be glorious history. The
editor of the future who pays his
bills and lives like other humans
must be running dollar and a half
or two-dOllars weekly and on a cash
in-advance basis.
The newspaper is distinctively a |
business institution and let's run it |
on business basis, having some |
idea. what it costs to produce, and
get a fair profit of the production.
Let us not be like the Oklahoma
farmer who, when asked, how much
oats he had raised, replied: 81 rails
ed a right smart bit, sold a great
deal and had quite a lot left"

= A WORD WITH WOMEN.
Valuable Advice for Mena Reade

Valuable Advice for Mena Readers.
 Many a woman endures with noble patience the daily misery of backache, pains about the hips, blue, nervous spells, dizziness and urin- ary disorders, hopeless of relief be- cause she doesn't know what is the matter.
 It is not true that every pain in the back or hips is trouble peculiar to the sex" Often when the kid neys get congested and inhamed, such aches and pains follow.
 You can tell it is kidney trouble if the secretions are dark colored, contain sediment; the passages are too frequent or scanty. Then help the weakened kidneys. Don't ex- pect them to get we'll alone.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have won the praise of thousands of women. They are endorsed at home--Read this Mena woman's convincing statement:
 Mrs. F.. c. Proctor, iii2 Janssen avenue, Mena, says: II suffered from soreness across my kidneys and nervous. My sight often blurred so badly could hardly see and specks floated in front of me. I used only one box of Doan's Kidney Pills be- fore I was relieved. My back has not pained me isnce and all the other ailments have been relieved V
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Proctor had. Foster-Mil- burn Co, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.--- Adv

 MENA LADIES PAY POLL TAX.
First to Qualify for Voting Is Mrs.
 K. l.. Cox.

The indications are that some oi the Polk county ladies are going to take advantage of the opportunity to exercise the right of suffrage at the next primary election at which county and state officials are to be nominated. The distinction of being the first to pay poll tax to meet the requirement of the law permitting them to vote goes to Mrs. k. I. Cox, Mrs. M. l. Anderson was second, and then followed in order, Mrs, H. w. Finger. Mrs. Will Alexander, Mrs. w. Homer Pigg, Mrs. s. H. Blair and Mrs. Ola Randolph. The chances are that before the tax col .lecting period comes to a close there will be many more in line, for even if they do not desire to vote, they will consider that by pay ing the poll tax they will be making that much of contribution to the school fund of the district in which they live.
