WHY PEOPLE
LOVE TO SEE
NAMES IN PRINT
Small Town Editor Tells
Trials of Running
Newspaper

The American Magazine has Civ
en- permission to the Caledonian-
Record to republish the article by
William W. Loomis, a very sue
cessful Middle Western editor,
who writes on "Why People DO
Love to see Their Names in the
Paper" 1t is a very interesting
article. You will enjoy reading it.
BY William w. Loomis
! am a country editor. For more
than twenty years have been run
ming small town newspapers. And
| can tell you one thing which
every editor knows, whether his
paper is a little weekly with cir
culation of two thousand, or me
tropolitan daily bought by half a
million.
The thing which all editors know
is this: People like to see their
names in print. Some of them pre-
tend that they don't. but | can't be-
licve there are any exceptions.
That is the reason there are fif-
teen thousand newspapers publish
ed in the United States. If the
personal news were omitted from
these papers, half of them would
go out of business.
Some years ago, | took charge Of
a paper in a little Iowa town. At
eleven o'clock the night before my
first issue was printed, | was rout-
ed out of bed to receive news
item which two ladies wished me
to include in the paper, They apol-
ogized for getting me up in the
middle of the night, but they were
afraid they would be too late :
they waited until morning,
You can see how important The
item was-to them. 1t was the
thrilling information that they had
spent the day in neighbOring
town. To be sure, it had been only
a three-mile journey. But that item
belonged in our paper just as Mrs.
Astorbilt's sailing for Europe be
longs in a New York paper 1t

with Independent laborers.
Announcement of the lockout
was made by Christian c. Norman,
chairman of the board of govern
ols of the building trade union,
which has endorsed the stand of
the mason builders association.
Norman declared that he had been
informed that IN injunction return
able Wednesday had been issued,
fcrbidding the bricklayers discrim-
mating from Independent workers.
The lockout will affect about
$4,000 workers Immediately and
would render idle $500 more in a
mcnth. The lockout was caused by
the interference of union men with
non-union workers, he said. The
br cklayers union, he said, recently
authorized sporadic strikes in cases
where workers, not affiliated with
the central union, were employed.
The employers took action when
the union men, he said, refused to
abandon calling off the strike.
About billion dollars in buildings
in New York may be tied up.

unanimously lauding the Harding Ad-
ministration as never equaled by any
other national Administration, and de-
claring the Republican party ready to

praised the State administration and
foreshadowed the denomination of Gov

ton and other public matters.
While no mention was made OF

dorsement of the achievement of the
national Administration. as did the
Committee on State Affairs, of which
William II. Van Benshoten is chair
man. Both lauded Gov. Miller's ad.
