The manager is trying TO sharpen
his pencil in the mechanical pencil
sharpener. He will give it UP in a
minute and use his pocket knife.
Once a day for thirteen years. to
the personal knowledge of the re-
porter who is writing this story. the
general manager of this paper has
tried to sharpen his pencil in the
pencil sharpener and has been fore
ed to finish the job with his knife.
But it is different this morning.
He doesn't frown- He smiles. The
blamed old pencil sharpener that
never works doesn't annoy him a
biti
EE AMT MAD at NOBODY
The editor is actually playful!
When the boy came IN with the mail
the editor forgot TO tell him to take
his hands out of his pockets and
stop whistling. Yes sir. things are
different this morning.
The print shop cat Just sneaked
into the editorial room II Is
SC4 dWuy Cat with yellow eyes AND
nobody said: Scat"
The reporters are having a con-
ference
ITS too good to last" one re-
marks. but If 1t keeps up until
noon maybe we can get off and go
to the ball game"
Let US inquire into the reason for
all the JOY and sunshine In The
Times office today.
That's an easy one to answer. An
unsolicited petition bearing 200 nam
es endorsing The Times anti-vice
campaign reached the office this
morning with a report that similar
documents are being circulated IN
every part of the county.
MOVEMENT SrARTED SUNDAY
The movement started following a
mass meeting at the Methodist
church Sunday, and The Times knew
nothing about IT until today. Each
petition reads as follows:
We, tho undersigned citizens
OF Lake County. Indiana, heart
Ay commend the stand of The
Lake County Times In its Year
less expose Of lawlsssness in
Lake county.
Could anything be more thought
full of the people of Lake county,
Is it any wonder that everybody
connected with The Times is happy
today?
