THE following from an exchange
Is a good view of what an editor Is
up against in endeavoring to secure
his facts absolutely correct:
Never state as a fact anything you
are not certain about, the great editor
warned the new reporter, 'or you will
set US into libel suits. In such cases
use the words, alleged Claimed re
puted,' 'rumored,' and so on.
And then this paragraph appeared
in the society rotes Of the paper:
at is rumored that a card party
,sgas given yesterday by a number Of
rpputed ladies. Mrs. Smith, gossip
says, was hostess. 1t is alleged that
the guests with the exception of Nus.

GOVERNOR Allen of Kansas has
announced when he learned Of the

some one in Kansas to violate the law,
and they do violate it, We will find out
whether or not there is a man, or a

his state"
The governor holds that Kansas
Anti-strike laws cannot be violated

MISS LEE BOMAR INJURED.
Falling Corn Knife I%nflicts Painful
Injury.

Miss Lee Bomar, daughter Of Joe
Bomar, of this city, met with a pecul-
lar and painful accident Saturday
noon.
She was entering a summer kitchen
when the high wind blew the door
shut and the impact, shaking the
structure so severely, caused to fall
from the loft overhead, a sharp corn
knife which struck Miss Bomar on
the head.
She suffered a very severe scalp
wound which necessitated several
stitches being taken in the cut. We
are glad to say her condition is in no
wise serious though she had a mar
row escape from death.

While in most instances they are paid
for their work, what compensation
they receive is indeed small for the

are on duty night and day, worn with
lack of sleep and the heavy demand

WRITES FROM GREAT N. W.
Ledger Reader Sends News About the
"Rainy Season."
Union Mills, Wash.
January 26, 1920.
Mr.. Editor,

January 20, 1920.
Mr.. Editor,
Sir:-I see by your paper you ask
people to send news. Thinking al
item from the Great North West
might be appreciated, l will tell you
some things about this country. We
live about 85 miles east of the Pacific
Ocean. This is a healthy country. |
do not know that it is any more so
than any where else. People get sick
here. One thing is peculiar to me.
Citizens say when November comes
they want to see rain. That is when
the rainy season begins. We have
rain before that time but not so much.
l supposed before coming here it rain
ed all the time during that season but
it doesn't. If you are going out for a
half day or more to town, you mad
better take an umbrella. A gentle
man describing the weather when we
first came here, said we would have
foggy mornings for quite a while be-
fore the rainy season began. We
could count on sun shine in the after
noon and sure that is fine.
heard a story told of a man who
came to this country, and felt disgust
ed with so much rain land he asked an
elderly man that was passing how
long it rained. He did not stop but
answered Is months out Of the year.
II doesn't make any difference about
the rain; every one works just the
same. If you plan to go any where,
go right on, the same as if it wasn't
raining. The rain coat and umbrella
are very fashionable.
We don't expect very cold winters
here. Ten above zero is coolest it has
been for some time until this winter.
The second week in December the
thermometer. registered 6 below zero.
People are not prepared for such cold
weather; don't expect it. Old citizens
say that they never saw such cold
weather here. A great many LOST
their potatoes at that time. This be-
ing sea level such a freak was I'M
expected.
We have the hard surface roads,
which are sure fine. Autos are nun =
erous and can always have good roads
to travel on. Gravel is plentiful here.
We have good schools. School house
one and a half miles from here. Car
takes the children and brings them
home. A P. T. Association of 40
meEbers meets once a month.
Maybe this will be good for the
waste basket.)
