The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-02-04

around much on Saturday as I must
stick close to Office and pressroom and
supervise Archibaldson's work. .
SUNDAY
Up, but not quite as usual. Buck
wheats slide down and I slide into
church pew, not late-much. Had
Sunday dinner with boss editor and
afterwards another of his cigars. Both
up to standard. Ran around looking
for fires in afternoon and then a trip
in Bob Hoffman's new car to see if it
suited me. 1t did and he has decided
to keep it.
MONDAY
Up and wondering if I had enough.
alcohol in radiator of car. Received
letter urging me to take up CORES.
pondence course in advertising-$1
down and only five a month for 90
months, and why was / delaying to
grasp this opportunity to prosperity
and success? Got thawed out and de-.
cided to get some news. Interviews
with John Carter, Miss Burtis, F. E.
Rathbun, John Fitzwater and E. z.
Tower failed to produce any results
except list of marriage licenses. Heard
new joke as spun by A. G. Ross and
told it to Doc Yak Yutzy, who said he
had already heard it Che always has).
Looked in at "Snowbird" Jim Lee
very busy reading detective stories in
his fathers office. Helen Hinebaugh
in Mr.. Friends Office just as busy.
TUESDAY
Looks like winter is over if you
want to believe the grounding. Heard
story of local barefoot boy, minus his
cheeks of tan, who trod Oakland
streets last Friday night in nothing
but an overcoat. Asked H. C. Sincell,
Bet Dawson, Neil Fraley, Slim Shaw
and lot of others what they really
knew about the Japanese-Chinese sit
uation, and after going into a great
deal of detail, the result was---.
Tried to find out who the Sheriff
locked up during the past few days,
but he was out. Seems like he is al
ways on the go and he gets his man.
Found out from those who advertise
that business is fairly good. Also
heard loud hollerings from those who
don't advertise in The Republican that
business is rotten. Heard someone
insisting that another fellow have
drink. It's getting so person can't
refuse politely any more. They have
to have it hollered at them with en-
phasis before they can understand.
WEDNESDAY
Watched for opportunity to see
States Attorney Dawson, who was in
conference with somebody. Mayor
Stemple relates accomplishments of
town council for 1881, and adds few
of his wisecracks. Everything will be
published but the wisecracks, because
this is decent paper. Floyd Stahl
ran the clippers over my head and
called it a haircut, and then Hervey
Bittner tried to inveigle me into that
new electric massage machine they've
got over there. Said it had worked
wonders on Andrew Gonder's central
lied excess.
THURSDAY
Up early and down to the office in
time to listen to the usual complaint
that I had spelled a name incorrectly
and blamed it on the linotype machine
and proofreader, as usual. Received
pay check and collected my LOUIS
which were outstanding. Managed to
save enough money to keep up my
Christmas savings. Made the last
minute rounds before press hour so I
wouldn't get scooped on anything, as
something always happens just before
the zero hour.
And there's another issue gone, but
not forgotten.
Japan warns foreign governments
to make Chinese stop their warlike
actions, or she will call out her army.
This is asked when Japan is doing the
invading. Nice people! if you ask me,
which you probably won't.
$50
Somebody sent in another anony-
nous communication to Scoop point
ing out the fish error in The Republi-
can and also one in the Democrat. On
the one about stocking Deep Creek
Lake with pike he wants to know
wherether 100000 is good many or
not so many" Since Bill Glotfelty
answered this query another answer
isn't necessary, but the boss editor
said the numberewould be the same at
fishing time if they stocked the lake
with six Million
On the second enclosure were the
words, Assistant Grant Lecturer"
instead of assistant Grand Lectur-
err" appearing in the Democrat head
lines, and the person asks if this by
chance is Billy Grant.
