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! - Editor & Pubisher. TRADE AT HADAWAY’S \ . vft, aftff «<s * V
