BIRDS OF A FEATHER
WILL FLOCK TOGETHER
THE CINCH.
About the easiest job I know
Of all vocations here below
Is runnng
A paper!
You only have to get the news
And air your editprial views,
Then set ’em up and make a plate
And put it on the press; . . I’ll
state
It is the cinch of all the cinches,
To fill a column of twenty inches
And then another, and another,
And lock ’em in, each with its brother,
And start the press, and get some
boys
To go outside with a heluva noise
And sell ’em! . . .
You tell em
Atlanta, Ga.—Only a few years ago
the raising of chickens was left largi
Jy to chance on many Southern farms,
and. at best, the chicken crop was
just a small bi-product of the barn
yard. Chickens were just chickens
and of just no particular breed or
strain. Eggs, were gathered up by the
children on such days as they wanted
to take a few to trade at the store
for something, and were worth on an
average about 15 cents .per dozen in
cash, rarely reaching 25 cents, except
during the Christmas cake .and egg-nog
season.
But it’s ’all changed now. A visit
to the Southeastern Fair in Atlanta,
from October 4 to 11, this fall, and a
few hours spent in the poultry de
partment will be enough to convince
the most skeptical that old Biddy has
come into her own. There will be
thousands of fine birds there, and of
nil the best breeds, and you can learn
everything you want to know about
the raising of poultry, and the best
methods of marketing chickens and
eggs. When properly conducted, it
is a rnouey-making business, and has
assumed large proportions—so large
that you will be surprised at the dis
play you will find at the fair.
Of all the easy things to make
A wad, the one that takes the cake
Is running
A paper!
Why, I can sit down any time
And do a paragraph in rime,
Or write a letter on anything
Humerous-like, or with a sting!
The Editor, he doesn’t do
A thing but read my letter through
And send it up; I think that he
Depends a little too much on me!
I notice, when I’m out of town,
His editorial tone falls down
Like thunder!
No wonder!
The hardest thing one has to do
Is getting the proper point-of-view
In running
A paper.
And that is where my stuff comes in!
I catch him when he gets too thin
And brace him up, and set him right,
And help the Editor see the light!
He pulls a bone . . I take my pen
And get him started straight again,
And when my stuff comes out I note
it
Is just exactly as I wrote it!
He doesn’t dare change a line
In that important view of mine!
It fills him
And thrills him!
