cupatlon that we are in and every time we give
away space that ought to be paid for; every time
that we accept an inch of advertising, or do lob
work Tor what 1t costs U.S. and in too many cases
Tor less than it actually u.s. we are only helm
ing to perpetuate conditions that we Justly com,
plain of. And those conditions will continue until
We ourselves, correct them.
Now, who is to blame? That's another
question Primarily we, the editors. are to blame.
but 1t is far from me to charge that we are inten
tonally so: What's the trouble then? To nv
mind here's the trouble, and the cause of all our
trouble, and that is that we do not know what re-
muneratlon we ought to have, because we do not
Know what Is the actual cost to us of producing II
printed column of advertising. or of the lob work,
we are selling. Personally after spending nearly
a third of century in the newspaper business I
nave come to feel that country weekly editors are
the greatest fellows on earth to kid themselves"
INTO the belief that they are actually making
money. mat may cause some of the "faScina-
ton OF the business But do you know that
kidding ourselves is a dangerous proposition
and IN the face of present conditions in our busi-
ness 1t is especially dangerous? Kidding" is all
right IN Its place, but when deceive ourselves
we are deceiving the very ones who should be most
vltally interested in knowing the exact truth So
let's quit kidding ourselves and actually know
whether we are making money, or whether we are
not actually engaged in losing it.
The country weekly newspaper business is diff
ferent from almost any other. The merchant can
hgure pretty closely to what his actual ex-
pehSeS are. by adding certain percentage to the
cost of his goods and deducting certain per cent
Tor depreciation, etc, he estimate fairly well
as to what his profits should be. But in the coun-
try weekly Office where advertising and job work
are the principal lines where the same materials
may be used for each, where the non-productive
labor expense is so large. it is different Our en-
ployees may work half hour on job work, switch
over into setting advertisements, then perhaps
be occupied in the nonproductve line of dstribut-
ing dead jobs and advertisements. Where this is
done, where any of the same type and materials
may be used for both jobs and advertisements it
would take Philadelphia lawyer to figure ont the
actual cost of column of printed advertising,
or anywhere near the actual cost of job work in

Knights of Columbus Banqueted

Theirs not to reason why
 Theirs but to eat and sigh.
 A royal banquet it was that the ladies of the Altar Society rendered the Knights of Columbus.
 October 18th will have even an add ed significance for the members of the organization as the ladies had bent their best efforts to make it mem- orable occasion.
 The basement of the Catholic church had been transformed into a most at- tractive banqueting room. Here pur- pie and gold in flowers and favors proclaimed the colors of the order.
 Long tables with prettily shaded candles and tall vases of nodding flow CTS awaited the one hundred and twenty guests who assembled at eight.
 "A turkey dinner with nothing miss ing" was one expression we heard. This was served efficiently by the ladies assisted by the Misses Claire Campbell, Madeline Brandt, Dorothy Jakle and Minnie Rickel.
 That every one was in rare good humor was attested by the after-din- ner toasts under the direction of P. J. Moran, toastmaster for the evening.

 Fred J. Lusk, County Farm Agent Francis Chisholm, and c. U. Pickrell, livestock specialist of the University of Arizona, went to the Prescott fair on Wednesday. MT. Pickrell arrived in Flagstaff on Monday, coming in from the Snowflake fair. His family is at Prescott.
 John B. Brown, superintendent of the Phoenix Indian schools, was wis., itor in Flagstaff yesterday for a short time. Supt. Brown advises us that owing to recent act of Congress, the Native American, the Indian school paper, had to be discontinued, much to the regret of the pupils.
 Mrs. A. Pearl McPherson, who has been with the Western Union Co. here for some time, has been called to Winslow to take charge of the w. U. office there, and will leave for her new post this week. Her little son David went to Amboy, Cal, last Wednesday, to stay with his grandparents, MT. and Mrs. c. M. Walker, until his mother gets her vacation, when she will bring him back with her. Mrs. Betty Williams will probably go to Winslow with Mrs. McPherson.

I. w. WIS FRAME PRO-
 GRAM FOR THE WEST

Inside information goes to show that fifteen hundred delegates" or 1. w. w. organizers, are to be con- centrated in California and next spring sent north.
 The following is copy of an ex- cerpt from a letter written by J. A. Billings, one of the 1. w. w. leaders, to Otto Elsner, an 1. w. w. prisoner confined in Leavenworth Penitentiary, who was sent up from Sacramento last year. This will give an insight as to what the I. w. W.'s contemplate doing.
 q am of the opinion that the only way to win California is to bunch our hits That is, to place 1900 or 1,500 delegates into that state, let them have a chance to organize themselves into system and work together un- derstandingly. Thus covering the whole state simultaneously and thor oughly organized at the start, so they can work it under thorough and sweeping system.
 After harvest is over in the long straw belt, all the A. w. o. and most of the delegates of other unions could be moved enmasse to California, work there until spring, then move the whole bunch to the lumber woods of the Northwest until June, then back into the long straw belt, and thus bunch our working force instead of working with scattered force. That force, so centralized, would work in unison and with more harmony be- cause their numbers would be en- couraging them to go ahead freely, do up the work as quickly as possi- ble, and then get out of that state before they, (the dicks) can have time to realize what is being done-in other words, mass action pure and simple -"

 The closing number of the pro gram, a musical one, came from the members of this very enthusiastic section. Miss Walsh is. director of this department, and the number re- ceived well-merited applause.

CARLYLES HANDWRITING
 WAS BARELY LEGIBLE

Nathaniel Hawthorne's handwriting was so illegible that some of his manuscripts remained unpublished be- cause nobody could read them. This was likewise true of Carlyle. The story is told of type compositcr who was employed by a London printing office because of a strong recommen- dation which he brought from Scot land. The first piece of manuscript given him to set was by Carlyle.
 My Godp said the new type- setter. Have you got that man here, too? l fled from Scotland to avoid him."

NEIGHBoRLINEss

"Many were the traits of kindliness, generosity, and sympathy that one once demanded in the definition of a good neighbor,'" recalls the Eldorado Republican. "Now all one asks of a neighbor is that he does not play his photograph after Il at night, does not start his Ford before in the morning, and attends to his own business"

FUTILE TALK

Perhaps the commonest of all the utilities to which flesh is heir is sit- ting around and telling how, if we had bought lot in such-and- such a place when we first came to town and should sell it now at prevailing prices, we should have made such-and-such an amount of money.

SCOUTS FURNISH GOOD BLOOD.

For some time Boy Scouts Alex Ho- gan, Douglas Peck, Frank Hampshire, Arthur Bohn and Frank Smith, mem- bers of the boy scout organization in Salt Lake City, have been going to the hospital twice a week to give their blood to rejuvenate an injured man.
 In an effort to save the life of Frank Adkin, who was taken to the hospital after receiving serious in- juries when piano fell on him dur ing a fire, the Salt Lake City boy scouts council was asked to. furnish boys to have their blood transfused into the veins of the injured man.
 Dr. Clarence Snow of the hospital, in an effort to obtain non-smOkers and non-alcOhOl users for this purpose, turned to the scouts for cooperation. Although MT. Adkin is in a serious con- dition, he has been improving rap- idly and is expected to fully recover
 The blood was furnished at the rate of a pint every other day for several days.

''.BOY. SCOUTS
 & fe1
TO ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS

Chief Scout Executive James E. West sends this word to the almost 18OOO assistant scoutmasters of boy scout troops:
 Your rank and opportunity is one to excite envy. Your job is what you make It and your troop is largely up to you. The chance for the boy scout movement to be serving a million boy members by next birthday rests with you. If anyone else brings about the million, that someone will have stepped in and picked up your op- portunity.
 Does this seem strange? A typo graphical error, putting in the word assistant? Then consider the lieu tenant in the great war.
 "We think of you as the man with youth and physical vitality enough to carry on and carry through to success the plans of your chief.
 "TO us you are the man, the only man, who can say, Boys, MT. Scout master would be greatly pleased if we rolled our packs and put our camp site in perfect order right after din ner-he would enjoy our afternoon tests and games and swim, himself, if he didn't have that cloud hanging over him, of asking you to police this spot at D. m. We owe him good time That-a-boy. You'll be done in ten minutes at the rate you're doing it.
  ultimate authority; and your word of encouragement and your sympathy when scouts are in wrong can be one of the truly great factors in the troops success"

SCOUT DOINGs.

The scouts of a troop in Colony, Kan, did their good turn by delivering papers on account of accident to or sickness of newsboys.
 Cleveland (N. Y) scouts put out three fires, cleaned the village pond the lake.
 Wisconsin Boy Scouts are hunting fresh-water pearls. They will go into camp and hunt for pearl musseIs while wading barefoot in the shoal waters or will drag for them from boats.
