VETERINARY HOSPITAL Well arranged and Equipped for the treatment of Injured & Diseased Stock of all kinds Don't Let Your Stock Die Consult Dr. Dawson He Kept the Job One of the bosses at Baldwin's locomotive works had to lay off an argumentative Irishman named Pat, so he saved discussion by put ting the discharge in writing. The next day Pat was missing, but a week later the boss was passing through the shop and he saw him again at his lathe. Going up to the Irishman, he demanded fiercely: Didn't you get my letter?" t "Yis, sur. Oi did." said Pat. "Did you read it?" "Sure, sur, Oi read it inside and Oi read it outside," said Pat, "and on the inside yez said I was fired, and the' outside yez said 'Return to Baldwin's locomotive work in five days.'.

For many years the Times editor has believed that farmers could make quite an addition to their incomes-through advertising. Thi3 spring we have noticed how many chickens raisers sold their surplus eggs at fancy prices through adver tising. Of course they had pure bred chickens but everybody should have. But all farm animals can be sold the same way. A little ad on ly costs a few cents. It will sell almost anything. Instead of sell ing half finished stulTon the St, Louis market, get a better price right at home. Even stuff a farm er is ready to turn will frequently bring more right around home. Find your customer by advertising. Hay or grain can be sold the same way. Any good farmer ought to in vest a few dollars profitably every year in advertising. Remember the few extra dollars above expense are the ones you save. A hundred dollars more on a thousand dollar deal id all profit and . is worth working for. Columbia Times.

Now this is a high aim and a difficult one to at tain. No news,.u,;er claims to be entirely free from error, but it is not because the truth is untriedfor. On the other hand, the majority of newspapers are far more accurate than the readers think. Tne read er forgets the newspiper has to rely on many different persons for its news, and that each of sev eral accounts of the same thing may be truthful. No two persons see the same thing. This seeking for truth is the essen tial business of practically every newspaper of today, but some have gone farther and discriminate in the kinds of truth, the kinds of news they give. This attitude is aptly expressed in a recent article by Melville E. Stone, generaf mana ger of the Associated Press He says: "We, as a class, are a news-mad people. We often treat as news such things as prize fights, execu tions, and divorces. Now, as a mat ter of fact, these things are epi sodes. They are in- one sense contributions to the real history of the world Seeking to secure a proper prospective of the world's happenings, I dismissed the epi sodes of the hour in short measure and set out to learn and present the things which the world was doing in the field of science, of ethics of politics, of economics. I found that a responsive chord was touch- ed at once." If the critic ot the newspaper will stop criticising long enough to study several newspapers care- fully for a short time, he will have no trouble in finding one of this high standard. Much of the fault finding comes from the fact that the reader never takes the trouble to really find out what is in the paper. University Missouri. BROS.
