THE HOME PAPER

Speaking of what newspaper does
in community, the late United
States Senator Davis, of Illonis made
an address in which he said: every
year each local paper gives from 5000
to $1,000 in free lines to the city or
town in which it is located, in boost
ing, praising and for lodges. churches,
schools, socities, etc. The editor, in
proportion to his means does more
for the town than any other man in
it, and ought to be supported, not be-
cause you like or dislike him and his
style, but because local newspaper
is one of the towns best features.
To-day the local papers are doing
more for less pay than anything on
earth, and it's a fact in many cases
of free notices"
The first thing people think about
when they get angry at newspaper
man is to quit advertising They
think that that is getting even with
the editor. We presume that whea
these people get angry at the man
who deals in meat, they eat hay, and
when sore at the clothier, they wear
no clothes, when they are angry at
the doctor, they just die, and If they
have fallen out with the minister they
go to hell and then they figure they
have gotten even.--Ogilvie Sentinel.
Newspaper advertising was held
by Edward Wolff, of David Adler g.
Sons CO., to be the only form of adj
vertising for which the reader actu-
ally pays, at the session Of the Wis
consin Retail Clothiers' association

| fallen from the car, and especially
out and from the track without hav
| ing been knocked out.
It is a singular coincidence that
McCamant met death within a few
yards of where w. r. Carman was
killed some months ago Santa Fe
officers are in possession of informa
ton that threats had been made a.
gainst McCamant's life, to the effect
that he would be bumped off just as
Carman met his death.
Louis McCamant was known to be
one of the most active and efficje~'
special officers of the division. His
sudden and untimely death was a
great shock to the people of Wins
low and the railroad men with whom
he was held in the highest esteem.
He was "a years old and the only
son of j. H. McCamant, ex-sheriff OF
Mckinley county, N. NJ Aside from
his father the deceased is survived
by two sisters, Miss Nina McCamant
who is connected with the Santa Fe
offices in this city, and Miss Myrtle
McCamant who is attending the
Normal school at Flagstaff.
A large number of Winslow peo
pie went to Gallup Sunday to attend
the funeral which was held at p. m
under the auspices of the Masonic
Lodge.
Fortune has dealt cruelty with the
McCamant family. The father had
just returned from Los Angeles
where he was under the care of spe-
cialists when his only son was killed.
He is still in poor health. Mrs. J. RI.
McCamant had Just been released
from Gallup hospital from a long
siege of illness. And only recently
the ranch home of the McCama~
near Thoreau was destroyed by fire.
At the time of the fire, ex-sheriff
McCamant was alone in the ranch
house and in bed sick. Awakened by
his dog he escaped in his night
clothes jumping from the window
just as the flames burst into his bed
room.

Thereupon life called her bluff
as the boys say. Lucymay Schaer
had started the family record by be-
ing the first of five small Schaers.
She was within an ace of winning a
coveted school record at graduation,
when-failure, an empty family purse.
Lucymay landed a teachers job.

REPORTS BUSINESS DECLINE

during the month, but not TO the ex-
tent that had been anticipated. Pro
ductiOn has exceeded the volume OF
new orders for some weeks past
but shipments on old orders have
been heavy and stocks at mills are
not large Little change in the stu
alton in the mining industry was re-
ported during March. Efforts to ad-
just producing schedules to present
market demands have resulted in
further slight declines in copper
productions and in an increase in
output of lead Flow of petroleum
from producing wells in California
was smaller in amount than during
February continuing, although at a
reduced rate, the decline in produc-
tion which has been in progress in
that state since September, 1923
Additions to stored stocks of oil
there during the past two months
have been small. The number of
building permits issued in 20 prin-
cipal cities of the district during
March, 1924, was 1.5 per cent larger
than during March, 1928 but their
value was 2.1 per cent loss, due in
large part to the decline in prices
Of building materials over the year
period Employment conditions i'm
proved seasonally during March in
ell states of the district except Cali
fornia. i7arm labor available is
slightly in excess of current require
ments in most states.
Trade at retail, as reflected in
seals of 35 reporting department
stores of the district, was 13 per
cent less in value during March,
1924, than during March, 1923, but
such yearly comparison is inacu-
rate, because the figures for March,
1929 included the Easter buying of
that year, which during the current
year was done in April. A fair esti-
mate of retail trade conditions must
be postponed until a comparison can
be made of combined sales of March
and April Of the two years With the
completion of the brief period of ac-
tive buying by retailers in February,
conditions in the wholesale trade a.
gain became irregular, and seven of
the eleven lines of business for
which figures are collected by this
bank showed declines in value Of
sales during March, 1924. as compar-
ed with March, 1923. Business fail
ures in the district during March in
creased both in number (4.3 per
cent? and in liabilities GAS per
cent? as compared with February
The strength of the present bank
ing situation is shown by the fact
that while loans of reDOrtinp MEM
bers banks have been at or close to
record during recent weeks, dis
counts with the Reserve Bank have
declined to the lowest point reached
since late in the year, 1917.

ladybird beetles as they are hlsc
called, are not injurious to plant.
and may be considered among the
gardeners best friends. They are
the natural enemies of plant lice. il
being estimated that one full-grown
ladybug requires from fifty to eighty
lice for meal
Q. | have had difficulty in getting
caulifiower to head properly.
A. 1t is sometimes difficult to get
caulifiower to head especially when
the weather is hot and dry. A cool
moist climate is considered best for
caulifiower development. Plants may
be started early in the hotbed and
transplanted to the garden about the
same time as cabbage to reach good
development before the heat of sum-
mer, or some have had good results
by starting the plants about the first
OF June to have the heads develop
during the fall.
Q. Can fertilizer be applied after
plants are up?
A. Market gardeners frequently
get good results by applying a high
nitrogen content, readily soluble
commercial fertilizer like nitrate of
soda to the soil in the plant rows.
The fertilizer should not touch the
plants. Place it on the ground and
when moisture is applied the mater
al dissolves and is carried down a.
nong the roots. This is applied par
,icularly to lettuce, cabbage and 9TH
sr leafy vegetables.
