CORRESPONDENTS, CORNER

The Star will run some items
under this head for few weeks that
are intended to be helpful to those who
correspond for newspapers, whether
they are corresponding for The Star or
not. We also hope that these items
may interest some who have never
tried corresponding for a paper that
they may decide to take up the work
that every community in the county
may be represented in one or more of
our county papers:
In the first place CORRESPONDENT
one who writes news items from GER
tam community to be published in a
newspaper, is an associate editor of the
paper for which they write and should
be deeply interested in the papers sue
cess.
We might say that good correspond
ents are born not made. But that
would not be true. However, there
is much more to a correspondent than
Just the ability to write. In the first
place he or she must be an optomist,
absolutely free from dyspepsia or any
depressing ailments, for the trials Of
one who writes items for paper are
many. For instance, the very item
you put in SO much time on and were
SO anxious to see in print is the one
that will fail to appear in the paper,
the name of some prominent person
who just came into your neighborhood,
that name you were so anxious to have
appear in the paper just right that you
printed it, is sure to be all jumbled up
when you see it in the paper. One
person will be angry with you because
you wrote an item about them and
their name appeared in the paper, and
another person will refuse to speak to
you because you neglected to state that
their prize Berkshire had litter of
pigs. These and hundred more dis
agreeable things are experienced by
the country correspondent. If you are
to be success in the line of furnish
ing the home paper with the news
items from your community you must
laugh at all these little annoyances an d
keep right on the job. If you are
thinned skinned never aspire to the
position of correspondent to your home
paper.
Again correspondent must be pub
lie spirited. There is a great deal of
work connected with the preparation
of letter each week, or even every
other week, for publication. 1t takes
a great deal of time and good cores
pondents are always busy people. For
all of which no compensation is re-
ceived except the pleasure of knowing
that you are serving the community in
which you live by keeping it in touch
with the world or rather keeping the
world in touch with it.

R. W. Clark, extention specialist in
animal husbandry. Colorado Agricul-
tural college, is advising farmers and
horse breeders to breed for heavy
draft horses as they are the only ones
in sufficient demand to bring the price
that will leave profit to the breeder.
He says the average price of an ordin-
airy horse in Colorado is only 1916, while
there is demand for heavy horses and
those weighing 1900 pounds or more
sell from 5000 to $500. 1t now costs
5000 to raise horse.
