INTIMATE D|SCOURSEs
IBy George Bingham, Writer of Ma
tional Fame, Who is Wintering
in Lakeland)

Every day in the. year there is more
or less of confusion in the minds of
those who read the want ad. pages in
the daily and weekly papers. Some
body is always muddying up the
water. l speak of the person who
says in his advertisement that he
wants to rent a house or room.
Now, the first thing the reader does
and the only thing he can do under
the circumstances, is to scruff up his
brow and wonder whether the person
one Then it dawns upon him that
even this does not explain what he is
trying to get at. And so he tries it
again, and begins to speculate in all
seriousness on whether or not the
person has a house he would like to
rent to somebody or whether he
wants to rent one from somebody.
This ought to be attended to.

every newspaper man when he hears
the following dialog, with variations,
between the girl or man at the coun-
ter in the business Office and a sub
scriber who has just wandered in:
I'VE didn't get our paper last night.
This is about the fifth time we have
missed it. l can't see why the boy
won't leave it"
rs that So Say you didn't even
get one last night? Well, we must
see about that. Well get right after
the boy"
"Of course the paper don't amount
to such big lot, but we would like to
it when it don't come. And some
nights the boy don't get there until
after dark. | understand he stops
along the road and throws rocks at
the birds and cows. When the paper
don't get there until after dark then
we cannot find the paper, and we al
ways like to read it before we go to
bed. OF course we hate to kick about
such small thing, but just as sure as
we miss the paper it has something
interesting in it,
We'll, we'll sure get after the boy,
and he must do better
"And then again, he wads the paper
up and sails it, and sometimes he hits
the house and sometimes he don't.
Sometimes we find it up on top of the
porch, but my husband is getting old
and don't want to take a risk of climb
inb the ladder every night.
What shame. We thought you
were getting the paper right along,
and we thank you for coming in
"Of course, we can read the paper
from front to back in two minutes
but we miss it when it don't come.
still we hate to be kicking about such
a small matter, but we pay for it."
