Seven Ways To Help The Editor
> Dosage CITY Free Press.)

First of all give him the NEWS.
He wants it. Give it to him though
sometimes it does not get into the
paper. He hasn't time always to
tell you why some pieces of news
are not used; but ten to one he has
perfectly good and personal rea-
son. { Give him the news even though
you may not be especially interested
in it. Some folks never think to
give the editor news except when
they are concerned in it one way or
another. r.
Second, don't give. him piece of
news and tell him you want it print
ed just as it is written. There is
right and wrong way to do even such
a simple thing as writing an article
for paper. One editor had to leave
town because he printed every piece
of news just as it was handed in
spelling, punctuation and all-printed
it with the name Of the person who
Igave it in.
Third, don't try to play a joke
through the paper unless you ex-
plain it to the editor. A thing in cold
type looks lot different and sounds
different from a. thing repeated by
word of mouth, when the voice. a
facial expression and a gesture, per-
haps helps to show it's meaning.
Fourth, don't worry for fear the
editor is making too much money.
You should want him to be prosper
Gus. He can and will give YOU a
better paper. He will be less likely
to. have to compromise with his con-
science over certain kinds of adver-
Using. And, anyhow, he can't make
a big fortune out Of his paper-he
/ will be lucky if he keeps going.
Fifth, be ready to tell your editor
when something in the paper please;
you. Once in a while you tell your
preacher he delivered good sermon
SO tell the editor something about his
paper.
Sixth, get your Copy" to hin
:: early. Take it to him for the nex1
week the day after the previous pub
LEGATION, if you can. It takes time K
set type and make paper. Did yor
ever wonder what the editor did al
the time between publication days :
You would know If you were publish
ing newspaper yourself.
Seventh, last but not least
PAY WHAT YOU OWE.
This is so timely we reproduce it
and if there are any guilty let then
get right now. Especially Il You ow1
anything, why, Pay up.Ed.l
