PLENTY GOING OUT AND
LITTLE BEING RETURNED
Editor Jeff Davis County Ledger
Recently, several of the newspapers in this section,
particularly Jesup, have carried editorials which were
critical of carnivals and local plays operated under the
sponsorship of some local organization.
It must be admitted that in mast instances the keep
ing money is very small in comparison to the take, and
that the advertising value to those who do so because of
local request or pressure is even less.
They are best illustrated by one of the stories going
around in Washington: “A little boy wrote a letter to
God asking Him for’ $100. The Postoffice did not know
what to do with the letter, so it was sent to the Post
master General. He in turn sent it to the White House,
c|o H. T. Harry, who, looking at the letter said: “We
should do something about this. Send the boy $5.00.
When the boy got the reply, he sat down and wrote
another letter to God. “Dear God, next time you send
SIOO please send it direct to me. When it goes liy way
of the President, they deduct 95 per cent before it gets
to me.’ ’’
Local businessmen like to help in any worthy cause;
they like to see local talent developed, but they do not
like to see 95 per cent of their money paid to some agency
when they give so little in return.
