CUT OUT BEST GIRLS"
AND SUNDAY VISITS

We want to publish letters giving
general news of the various commu-
mites and we have tried to make it
plain at different times just what
was actually news to the general
reader. Don't start out your letter
by saying news is scarce, nothing
seen from this place for so long,"
Health of community good" eff this
escapes the waste basket we will
come again." and a lot more stuff
like that. Nine times out of ten
when we receive a letter for publ
cation and it starts off in this man
ner we don't take time to even look
it overt goes straight into the
scrap heap. We want news, but
have no room for anything else. In
giving the account Of deaths don't
undertake to write an obituary in
each case. Make your items brief
and if there is an obituary to be
written later, let it come in along
the regular channel. Space in the
Daily Sun is limited-we cannot pub
lish anything that will not be of gen
eral interest to all the readers of the
paper. The Sun has enjoyed num-
Der of good correspondents from diff
ferent sections of the county for the
past fifteen years. To these we are
not referring. They know what to
write and how to write it. But most
every mail bring dozen or. more
silly, sickening letters fro mothers
without the semblance of news in
them. 1t is this class that we are
trying to make understand that they
MUST learn to write before their
letters will be given space in either

THE BREAD AND BUTTED MAN

Though others ask greater task
Somehow | cannot see it;
| have no wish to rise to fame
Nor with the great to flutter.
My one concern is just to earn
Ny children's bread and butter.
Pm just bread and butter man,
l have no great ambition,
From day to day l go my way
Upon my simple mission.
l do not seek the mountain peak,
Nor would | be strutter
Among the wise my pleasure lies
In making bread and butter.
They look at me at night and say,
"Tell US what you've been doing
Why do you 60 and leave us SO?
What goal are you pursuing?"
And then wear my proudest grin
And tenderly | utter
This answer gay: give been away
To make your bread and butter.
