ABOUT CARDS OF THANKS

Owing to the fact that some peo-
pie do not understand the rule that
has been adopted-and is being fol-
lowed-by The DeSoto County News
with reference to cards of thanks,
obituaries, resolutions, ETC., attention
is called to the fact that these are
charged for at regular advertising
rates. with an additinal charge when
these are written in this office.
Such notices are not regarded as
news items and, consequently, come
under the head of advertising, for
which remittance should in all cases
accompany the copy, whether handed
in or mailed.-Arcadia News.
The Arcadia paper is right. Cards
OF thanks, tributes of respect, memoir
ial resolutions and formal obituaries
are not news, but purely personal
matters that concern or interest only
a comparatively small number of
people. and the newspapers generally
nave long since recognized the fact.
Really, as general thing, they are
!
tails actual expense upon the news
papers. 1t goes without saying that
any one WHO has been given aid and
kind attention in time of trouble oil
distress, is thankful for it, and there
is no good reason why the general
public should be informed of what is
known as matter of course.
Another thing: If it were charity
in a newspaper to publish such mat
tiers free of charge, it would be il
order to criticize the paper adversely
for not doing so; but no one asks the
paper to render such service as al
act of simple charity. The news
paper always makes, without charge
a fitting report of any and al
bereavements which the people of its
town may suffer, and that is all thai
it should be expected to do free Of
charge.

Florida is alive with the advertis-
ing CRATER and the promoter-grafter
of local talent entertainments. So
far this season we have rid the town
of several advertising grafters by re-
fusing to run their stuff in the Herald
but others with hotel-blotter scheme
or some equally as worthless will be
along in a few days. We hope that
our business men will have the
courage to say mo" even If the graf
ter is good looking red-headed
dame or damsel, which is likely to be
the case, for it takes this kind to
work" the blotter and similar
schemes. Pretty soon, too, some pro-
moter of amateur entertainments,
with sheaf of clippings and testi-
monials telling what a huge success
they have made in other towns, will
be along. We have a number of
local people capable of promoting
and directing amateur entertain
ments and when these side-kicks of
the advertising CRATER show up they
should be given scant consideration

SECOND PURE
BRED BULL CALF
SALE TO BE HELD
AT MIDDLETOWN
County Is Forging Ahead In
Campaign To Gust Grades

70 The second pure bred bull calf

"pure bred bull on every farm .
project. will be held in Middle
town Thursday, March 5, accord
ing to plans laid at a recent meet
ing of the committee representing
the Delaware Holstein-Friesian As
sociatiOn and the county farm
bureas. The following men con-
stitute the committee: J. r. Danks,
Winterthur, Chairman; J. I. Day
EFT, Cooch; J. d. Reynolds, Middle
town; and Harry Clark, Kenton.
The sale will comprise thirty to
forty well bred pure bred bull
calves which will be consigned by
the dairymen of the State. The
sale will be held under the same
auspices and on the same plan as
was the one of last July.
New Castle County is essentially
a dairy county, yet a recent bul
survey indicated that approximate
ly 92%c Of the bulls of the county
were grades and scrubs. The farm
ers of the State are appreciatins
that this is an uneconomical ant
even a lamentable situation, ant
nothing short of a dearth of pur
bred bulls is going to prevent thei
correcting this situation in a perio,
