Another cartoon that l never re-
GREETED was one that was not drawn
and not published. I've rgotton her
name. But a woman came to Tono-
pah to put on = lady minstrel per-
Torrance with local talent. 1t was
a wonderful show and she was some
artist. She came to our office with
all her job printing and advertising
and we wrote her show up to a fraz-
zle, publishing a cartoon that was the
best ad she had ever had in her young
life. Then she proceeded to Gold
field and there the Ladies' Aid So
city, or whoever it was sponsoring
her show, demanded that the print
ing be submitted to the two offices for
bids. Ours was the only daily paper.
Our bid for the job printing vas $2S,
which was figured on 2 scientific basis
for the stock and labor, yielding only
reasonable profit. The weekly
paper merely guessed at job print
ing estimates and took a swing at
this n at $40 and landed it. OF
course, this was partly because of
our recent arrival there, as otherwise
its bid would have been $50 or more.
Anyway, the weekly got tue job and
We offered no objection, for we had
been beaten in a fair field. But as

Sun. Mr.. Dutton was the %cartoonist
there, as I kept two in my employ at
that time, one for each of my daily
papers. I told the m that in
view OF her having given the printing
out elsewhere there would be q
charge for the cartoon. Oh! how she
went up in the air! Why, she said,
the printing had been let out on bids,
and bid was $S too high. Well,
we told her, the cartoon of itself was
easily worth s28, not to mention the
IS, and u charge for it would be
at least SEQ, which was not only reas-
enable, but far too low. She said she
did not dream that her patronage
made any difference and supposed we
would be glad to cartoon her show
for the amusement of it. Then she
took another tack and claimed she
wanted to give us the work but that
1t had been taken out of her hands
and the local women were -he ones
responsible.
We told her she should have taken
that in hand herself and in e. nice
way gave her a moral that she could
not have forgotten the rest OF her
life, had it been ever so long. She
begged, pleaded, cajoled, f1attered
and even wept a few handfuls, but
we were hard boiled and stood pat.
While l liked this woman immense
ly and honoreG her for her talent,
that was a cartoon that I never re-
greet not having permitted to be
drawn and published. She learned a
lesson and probably never committed
the same blunder during the succeed
ing years Of her career.

The Story
BY David Cory

Come, hop on my back. I'll take
you home to the Old Bramble Patch
in two shakes of a lambs tail'', said
the Old Brown Horse, who, you re-

a smile and laugh, they came to a
big wide river. Dear me, but it was
deep and wide.
I'm not very good swimmer,
said the kind four-footed animal, but
maybe l can manage to get across.
Don't take too many chances, ad-
vised the little bunny boy rabbit.
But the Old Brown Horse kept
right on wading into the water, and
pretty soon he was up to his shoulder
and then, all Of sudden his feet
couldn't touch bottom. Only a little
bit of the top of. his back was above
water and Little Jack Rabbit had to
pull up his feet and hug tight to the
Old Brown Household tight to his
name. you know, close up to the back
Of his head.

Laws Alone Won't Do II
Detroit Free Press)


The wheat market has been giving
another example Of the difficulty OF
finding legislative remedies for eco
nomic ills. Quotations have gone be-
low the dollar level for the first time
in nine years, although practically
every statutory help suggested has
been provided for the farmers.
The last Congress had every reason
and every desire to relieve the trou-
bles of the agricultural regions OF
the country. There Is, indeed, tes-
timony from the farmers themselves
or this point, for only day or two
ago Gray sSilver, speaking for the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
said in a formal statement that more
laws wanted by farmers had been
enacted in the sessions closing last
March than in twenty years OF prev
ious legislation together.
Grains received especial attention
at Washington. Not only was the
duty on them increased in the Ford
ney-McCumber tariff. but before that
act was introduced a temporary.
emergency tariff was rushed through
to save the farmer. The Capper-
Tincher bill, drafted to prevent spec
ulation manipulation in cereals, was
only one other OF list of laws in be-
half Of grain producers.
In the face of all these efforts to
better the condition Of farmers, the
price that they are to receive for one
Of their principal crops continues to
sag downward. 1t would seem that
some other method for dealing with
the conditions must be sought. since
framing and enacting new laws has
been found useless. Keeping in mind
former experiences with other crops

SAFETY IN COOPERATION

Not long ago-two or three years,
and time moves quickly in the auto
mobile age-complaints were heard
Of representatives Of an automobile
association when on the road warn
ing reckless drivers Of inspectors and
guardians. The associations are not
doing this now. They have learned
better. The makers and sellers Of
gasoline, automobiles and supplies
have learned that it is to their ad-
vantage to make motoring as safe as
possible. The great majority Of con-
sumers have no desire to join a
suicide club or expose their lives I'M
necessarily. The automobile asso-
Citations CO. operating with this desire
are in a way to popularize their
efforts.
Too many motorists who witness
attractions of the regulations dislike
to become involved by making COM
plants. The association arrange
ment avoids this unpleasant feature.
The member reports to the club sec
rotary, the latter writes the offender,
but if complaints continue to be re-
ceived about him then he is reported
to the highway authorities.
In the matter of better roads it is
within the province Of members of
these associations to give expression
to their opinion respecting what
should and what should not be done.
In this way they may aid in .enlight-
ening public sentiment. may help to
correct some of the wild-eyed notions
about road building and financing.

The workers
Listen to the song of workers
Daily striving. Sinking not,
Giving of their honest labor,
Loving what their hands have
wrought.
In the field and mill and office,
Fingers busy, minds aglow.
Hear the happy workers singing
Songs that idlers cannot know.
Life for us is filled with courage,
Each new day is hope begun.
Evening brings a sweet contentment
In the joy of work we'll done.
They who work with singing spirits,
Such as these, JOY comes to bless,

Daily earning happiness"

1t would be interesting and instruc-

them to swim to land. The white,

but all that did no good. The poor,

He presumably will join that little
