UNSIGNED GETS NO
ATTENTION

II really seems strange that
readers Of the American will con-
tinue to send us news or other
matter for publication without
the signature Of the writer being
attached after repeated notices
in these columns that the writ
er's name must be known to the
newspaper. Frequently we re-
ceive news items that would
most likely be good for publica-
tion but we must know from
what source they come-who is
back of il and that the writer is
reliable or the items can take
no other course than TO the
waste paper basket. IL news
paper takes a chance on publish
ing unsigned articles mot know
ing their source--it will sooner
or later find itself in hot water,
because there are always some
folks who like to play funny and
have things published that are
not true what they consider a
joke, but might be something al
together different for that
reason unsigned letters to the
American will receive no consid-
Grafton.
Sometimes when we receive a
nicely written letter with APP
parently good news items, no
tices or other matter we feel il
is almost a shame to deliver il to
the waste paper basket, but no
thing else can be done when no
signature is attached and the
source of the letter is not known:
we cannot write or call on the
party concerned. And even the
regular news correspondents who
send in weekly news letters, it
is well for them to sign their
names so there is no chance of
their items being omitted on ac-
count of their source not being
known.
Then again when the American
is in a controversy with some one
we have those who will send a
kindly unsigned note to the cdi-
tor telling him he might as well
quit for he is licked and other
friendly" advice of a like ma
ture. but to those we will only
say, they may as well save the
stamps for they only show their
cowardice.

ION Jan. 26 the best spoilers in

verton schools will meet at the
school house in Markville and
compete for spelling champion
ship honors. The contest will
consist of four distinct tests, two
of which will be oral and two of
which will be written. The re-
suits of these tests will show
without doubt which school has
the best spoilers, and by giving
a series of four separate tests, as
proposed the faculties of the
several schools feel that the team
which wins is entitled to the full
honors without any question or
doubt. The last of the tests,
which will be an oral spell-down,
will be open to the public, and
although we cannot at this time
give the exact hour that the oral
test will occur, we nevertheless
want to extend an early invita-
