JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 9.-Quo

Mercantile Company of Mexico, alleg-
ing this concern practiced discrimin-
alton and unfair competition against
V. F. Ryan Of Mexico, doing business
under the name of the Mexico Poultry

are based upon an allegation that the

TO SUBSCRIBERS
NEWSPAPERS.

THE following taken from an ar
ticle by Solomon Buckley GritTcn IN
the North American Review is an in
$eresting insight into the newspaper
profession and ideals of the profess
sion today:
"The saying that poets are born,
not made applies in about equal
measure to newspaper men. l have
seen too much Of newspaper offices
and men who work in them not to
know that the nose for news the in
stinctive and lasting love for ink, .ype
and presses is born WITH some men
and women. Others may ard do ac-
Tuire the news instinct and familiar
5ty with the things hat enter into the
nno&lc.ion of newspapers, and gucn
ret an, but there is lacking with them
The spur of compelling love for ones
work, the thing that glorifcs service.
So the zest Of a great AMI enduring
joy IS NOT theirs, Out Of this under
standing I have always advised young
men who felt they could be happy N
0tner callings to eschew the newspa-
PR, showing that the hardships it
would impose must irk and depress
+hem. and 50 results be narrowed.
Fortunate is the newspaper that
pnssrs an atmosphere saturated with
the purpose to render disinterosted
publir service in a-self-rcspecting
way. Every worker may contribute
~ the creation and perpetuation of
such an environment, and he or she
2an make no more important and
lclpful contribution to the future Of
journalism. Such an atmosphere lan
Sc made to pcrmeate the entire cstab-
.iehwart, and il is operative in calling
. u the finest qualities that reporters
and editors and all the rest can bring
% Ere paper. In such an office the
lights of the reader are moro para
'~r"nrf, and this proves a solvent of
many problems in the writing and
Typographical presentation Of the
news. Under the sway Of this basic
point If view it is recognized that the
average Of popular intelligence IS
much above the d~emagogic conception
IF It, and that it pays for newspapers
and politicians to deal scnsibly and as
adequately as may be with matters
Of public concern. There are happily
many newspapers which afford stand
snp Illustrations Of the applicability Of
t1his contention, as well as those that
serve az q flaming challengcrs Of it.
As a rule Of newspaper conduct, too, it

70 give the reader full measure Of

we're established for their readers and

By William II. Dolson

Member Executive Committee, Real
Estate Investors of New York, Inc.
In looking back over the year just
passed we see that property rights
have been nullifcd, that written con-
tracts have been turned into SCRAPS
Of paper that property users have
been made squattcrs ly legislative
sanction, that solution Of the housing
problem has been deferred by laws
that stop building
In looking forward to the wear 1921
We hope to see d saner view Of the
situation on the part of the public,
oihclals and governing bodies. This is
absolutely necessary to bring an end
to tho dangerous conditions which now
prevail
Developments Of the last wear
showed the necessity Of property own
ers forming a forceful and influential |
organization, permanently organized
to act wherever and whenever property
rights come into question It was with
TINS In view that Real Estate Investor ;
or New York. Inc, was organized and
Is growing steadily.
Ihat this organization might accom-
pnsh the greatest amount Of good in
the community it was founded 10 work
Tor the benefit Of all Its organizers
knew from experience OF many wears
that success could como only from ac-
acknowledgement of the fact that there
are two sides to every question, that
there IS more tnan one phase in an
economic problem, and that Justice to
all demanded recognition of the rights
OF property owners as well as the
rights of property users.
Purposes of tho Investors
Consequently, when our organization
was fully completed. We announced
our purposes as follows:
10 devise ways and means to en-
courage construction Of apartment
building, the only practical solution
OF the housing problem
10 enlighten the public by pre-
senting facts proving that Increased
costs of maintenance justify In
creased rents.
10 clarity the situation By remov-
Ing the confusion and uncertainty
which have been created by tho to-
e. called emergency" legis lation.
10 create a better Understanding
between landlord and tenant.
10 obtnin constructive legislation
safeguarding the stability OF real
estate.
In furthernnce OF the first purpose
set forth. We consulted builders both
inside and outside our organization.
