BEWARE THE WIRELESS FAKIRS

Watch out for the wireless fakirs.
The new generation, since the scam
dalOus stock jObbing operations that
marked the advent of the Marconi
wireless telegraph concern in which
thousands of widows and other poor
folk were robbed of their life savings.
should read little history. The pub
lie is of short memory. 1t will not be
long before the stock jObberS will be
at work offering all kinds of alluring
propositions identified with the man
ufacture and operation of wireless tele-
phone outfits. The danger of being
swindled in these highly speculative
enterprises is in proportion to the OPP
portunity for profit, and so a double
warning is necessary, because the
wireless telephone business is destined
to stagger the imagination before many
years have passed. When the thou
sand per cent per day proposals reach
this town, let those with loose change
be cautious. Cupidity is a dangerous
leader Follow old General Conserva-
tism and be safe.

cessful newspapers. Orderly arrange
ment of the news and other matter
printed should be insisted upon, both
| for the benefit of the reader and the
publisher. The subscriber, the back
bone of the newspaper, is considered
first in the makeup of the paper. That
is why the most important news is
sion of all advertising. The headings
are for his benefit, too, to act as guides
in his selection of the printed matter,
| so that he may pick out what he wants
as he wants it. Uniformity and style
of type in headings is also important.
There is wide variety in this respect
among newspapers. There is the flam-
boyant style, with the extremely large
type; the modest style, where the type
| is selected in accordance with the I'M
pOrtance of the news and the pleasing
effect on the printed page; the obscure
style. in which the headings are small
and few, rendering it difficult for the
| reader to appraise the published mat
ter without spending too much time.
The News-Budget has chosen what it
believes is the modest style, for the
| reason it believes it to be the most
pleasing and effective.
1t is the rule of many publishers that
the space devoted to reading matter
must not exceed the amount of space
sold for advertising Whether that rule
has proven the correct one in a COM
petitive field, we cannot say. 1t has
been the policy of this paper to give
more space to reading matter than to
advertising, for the benefit of both the
subscriber and thesadvertisers. Often,
we give more than two-thirds more
space to news and other free matter
than to advertising. This is more ex-
pensive rule, unless the larger proper
ton given to news is compensated for
by increased subscriptions
For the same reason it department.
ICES the news matter, so that if a
reader desires to read the local items
first, he may turn directly to the
columns headed local and Personal"
or if he be farmer and wants to read
the farm news first, which is often the
case. he turns to the Farm Depart
ment'': or if church announcements
claim his first attention, he may find
the church column without delay so
with the country correspondence and
the classified advertising depart
ment. 1t is big help to the readers.
The News-Budget' believes in the
81. 81 tl,af fI,n obi cINn
have opinions on matters Of public con-
Germ and to publish them, though it has
never been the policy to attempt to
force editorial opinion on the public. |
Constructive criticism is always wei
coined in the Peoples Forum. An ed |
itor has no right to take advantage of
a citizen or group because of his adj
vantage as an editor.
Cartoons and pictures add much to
the attractiveness and interest of a |
newspaper Most progressive publish
ers use them Pictures of current in
most readers. !
1t is our policy to make our own
paper ; not to let the other fellow make
it, To make it just as good as we can
and if it shows progress we are on the
right trail
The publisher who fails to realize
that fidelity to the public interests is
vital will inevitably be confronted with
failure

Stephen Bolles, editor of the James

The Grafton was different. 1t was
one which thrilled its hearers with
the resolve to dream and to carry
dreams into action. 1t was an es-
pecial appeal to the membership of the
kiwanis club to dream dreams of a
better city, more moral city, and a
city OF more convenience, but with it
was the appeal to all people to recog-
nize the value of the dream as the
spur to carry on for better conditions

TRICKS OF THE BUSINESS

There are tricks in all trades but
ours" is an old saying. But ours
isn't the poultry business. A Lady.
smith poultry fancier tells this one on
himself. He had engaged sitting
of eggs from a farmer who had some
extra fine Barred Plymouth Rocks, at
a rather stiff price. A day or so la.
ter he happened to be in a grocery
store when one of the farmers family
came in with a basket of eggs which
was sold to the grocer. "Ah," thought
the fancier. heres a chance to get
some of the very eggs / want for
Matching, at market price" So he pur.
chased couple of dozens and took
them home and set them under two
faithful biddies After three weeks
had nearly elapsed, he hung around
the henhOuse much of his time, listen
ing for the peeping Of baby chicks. He
listened off and on, for several days.
No peeps. Later he learned that the
willy farmer had dipped the eggs in
hot water to kill the terminating quail
tiles before he sold them to the gro

Under former Ladysmith city adj
ministration, certain alderman was
assigned the duty of letting small
job of street work. He let the job
to a local teamster for S75. but the
teamster thought it was a private job
as it happened to be near the alder
mans property. About the time he
got the job done, the man learned that
it was a city job and he went to the
common council with a plea for 5000
for the work. saying that it was worth
it if it was city job. That is the way
public jobs look to some men.
