WHAT 1T WOULD MEAN IF
THE GOVERNMENT DID 1T

Within the past few months many
articles have appeared in various
newspapers regarding the possibility
newspapers and printing plants of the
country, and the effect on business
Well, about the first thing that
would happen would be to raise the
subscription and advertising rates
about so per cent, while the sheriff
would be kept so busy chasing down
subscribers who had had the benefit
of the paper for ten years and never
paid cent, that he wouldn't have
time to feed the prisoners. The next
thing would be to raise wages to a de-
two nickels to rub against the other

times a day. The merchant who dash.
ed madly in with half page ad about
an hour before press time would be
hauled up before the council of de-
tense, and the one who ordered a
measly little $125 ad for one week
and denied ordering it when the bill
was presented would find himself
facing a firing squad
The linotype operator who took a
job at s35 week by the year, and
quit his job in week would be sent
to the federal prison as a deserter.
The fellow who came along repre-
senting himself as the finished pro
duct with half century of expert
ence. and proved that he didn't know
printing press from a cider press,
would be sent to the pen for obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
Incidentally, the Jane who came in
and insisted that the editor make her
10 ealing cards for 1Oc because the
price of 100 is 81, would be tried for
insanity and henceforth occupy a oad-
ded cell in the insane asylum.

FALLS FORTY FEE
BUT NO BONES
suIsEp
!. BROKEN

Dropping suddenly, without the
slightest warning from a broken scat
fold at the top Of a forty-foot silo, and
meeting the terrestrial ball on solid
cement, without losing consciousness
or having any serious injury was the
peculiar experience Of ]. T. Beatty,
about 10 o'clock Friday morning.
Mr.. Beatty, with other men had been
erecting a hollow tile silo for NJ. II.
Patnode on Ash mesa. and was near
the top when the accident occurred
which came so near cutting short a
vigorous and useful life for all time.
The men needed but three more tiers
OF blocks to complete the silo at that
ime, and It was finished during the
day.
When inventory of his injuries were
taken he was found to be badly bruis-
ed and scratched in many places over
his body, and he was baldy shaken up
There were no bones broken. but at
tending physicians stated that 1t
would be perhaps IL hours before the
extent OF his injuries would be ascer-
tanned. Time developed that there
we're no internal injuries and while
he is still very sore. he is able to be
out and his friends are congratulating
him on his miraculous escape. AS for
ourself. we are happy in the know
ledge that we are chroniclinG an un-
pleasant experience instead of his OBJ
ituary, even though in the latter case
We should have said more nice things
about the departed.
Mr.. Beatty was wearing at the time
pair OF heavy coveralls and he at
tributes his fortunate escape to the
fact that this article OF apparel caught
ON something during the course of his
descent. a piece of cloth six inches in
width being torn from the entire
length, and this doubtless to a certain
extent broke the fall.
