i POSTAL RULES SHOULD BE
CHANGED
Most every one admits the United
States postal system is pretty won
j derful, even if it isn’t exactly sol
vent, but some of its hard and fast
j rules must cost Mr. Farley’s dcpart
| ment lots of business in time. Take
the case of the New York business
man.
He wanted for business reasons,
to send a ledger, cash book and
check book to his auditor in Long
Island. He wrapped these articles
up in heavy paper, left the parcel
unsealed and took it to the post
office. There he told the clerk of
the package’s contents, and was in
formed that because his bundle con
tained writing it would have to go
first class. The postage would be
$3.27.
The business man took his parcel
over to the express company, where
a clerk sealed it for him, insured it,
gave him a receipt, promised prompt
delivery—all for the price of 41
cents.
The postoffice has to have rules,
but it also, apparently, has competi
tion on its hands.

Dealings With Newspapers
Newspapers have been printed for
centuries. Rare, indeed, is the man
or woman who does not have daily
or weekly contact with a newspaper.
And yet we marvel how unfair or
unthoughted everybody is in their
dealings with newspapers. They do
not seem to have any realization of
the fact that a paper is a business
proposition; that it produces certain
commodities at certain cost to be
sold at prices that will enable the
publisher to pay the cost of pro
ducing the paper.
There is no hesitancy upon the
part of anybody to request free in
sertion of matter that is of individ
ual concern or profit to them and
not of general interest to the read
ers of a paper. They do not realize
that it costs us, as well as other
publishers, around five cents an inch
just to set the type that must be
composed to print matter. Then the
time it takes to get matter ready
for press, the amount of paper an
inch takes in the thousand or so
papers printed, the time necessary
for press work and mailing runs
even above five cents per inch for
every inch of matter that the paper
carries. That is the actual cost to
the publisher, but people seem free
to ask insertion of ten to twenty
inches of matter for their individual
benefit when it costs the publisher
one to two dollars to let it appear in
the paper. Do they ask other lines
of business for free service that is
as costly to render?
Hardly a week passes that some
body does not drop in the office and
ask if we haven’t a spare copy of
the paper that we can give them.
Do they drop in a cigar store and
ask the dealer if he has a spare
cigar that he can give them? In
our case, as in others, each paper
printed weekly costs us more than
the cigar dealer pays at wholesale
price for five-cent cigars.
There is no hesitancy upon the
part of people to request notices be
ing given of meetings and other
gatherings in which only a restricted
number are concerned, never stop
ping to think it costs the publisher
as above stated to let the notice ap
pear.
In short, people do not seem to
realize that a local newspaper is
anything but a free horse that they
can ride at will; not a business that
the publisher conducts at cost to
him and in which he must obtain a
profit above that cost to support
himself and family.
Newspapers themselves, especially
local newspapers, are themselves
mainly responsible for this state of
affairs. 1 hey have and do allow
themselves to be imposed upon by
seekers after publicity in the inter
est of only a few. They have made
.t a custom to donate copies of pa
pers to any who ask for them. They
render a great deal of service to
organizations and the communities
:hey serve, such service entailing
'■ost upon them, but for which they
get or demand no compensation.
At least, it has been that way in
the past. But since there has re
cently been such material increase in
the cost of publishing papers, may
be we publishers will be forced to
come to our senses and require pay
ment for insertion of all matter
other than of a strictly news nature.
Our subscribers are supposed to pay
the cost of producing that.—Ogle
thorpe Echo.

robbery were modified to life im
prisonment by Judge Will R. Smith
in Cook county superior court.

Irving Canter, 18, and Edward
Myddleton, 17, pleaded guilty to a
filling station robbery here, and on

Electrocution date was set for

THE YEAR’S BEST HUNTING
STORY
Policeman Harry Jones, of Morris,
llinois, is an old hand at gunning.
>ince he was a boy he’s been going
out in the woods after rabbits. He
has a few tall tales to tell, as most
hunters have, but none of them can
compare with his experience the
other day when he went after rab
bits with a fellow officer.
From dawn to dusk they stalked
the long-eared bunnies, and they
didn’t even catch sight of one, al
though they found plenty of tracks.
On the way Jones let go at a
rusty gallon can in the underbrush.
When he turned the can over a rab
bit fell out, warm and kicking but
killed by the shot fired into it.
Ralph McGill, the Atlanta Con
stitution sports writer, who is now
in Sweden, says when one gets en
gaged or married in that country he
goes down to the newspaper office
and pays for an ad. Also, when a
son or daughter is born, the parents
give notice of the event by paying
for an ad.
