Inform the Editor.
One of the most difficult of the
editor's jobs is to get facts about
births, marriages and deaths.
People seenr to think he ought to
know these things by intuition.
If not that, the birth, marriage
or death is of such importance in
the immediate family that it is
presumed the editor will be in
formed by some wireless or just
grow into the information. Then,
when the paper comes out, and
no mention is made of the event,
the editor is blamed for not run
ning a good newspaper or not
getting all the news. Remem
ber there are a good many peo
ple in this county. If the editor
knew each of them by name, be
sides their family history and the
chief events in the lives of every
individual, he wouldn't be an ed
itor. He'd be a demi-god, rest
ing his feet on a cloud and sip
ping ambrosia instead of inhabit
ing a broken-down office chair
and wondering where the money
for the next white paper bill is
coming from. The life of the
average newspaper man is a gay
one. Gathering news is second
nature to him, like picking his
teeth with the office pen and cuss
ing the office towel. Just the
same, there's a limit to his omnis
cience. We're anxious for news
for the paper, and it won't put
you out much to drop by the of
fice or telephone us whats hap
pening at your house. Then if
the item doesn't get in the paper,
you have a right to come down
and kick the stuffing out of the
cat. Otherwise, don't blame us.

All for Two Cents.
Spend two cents to help make
life on the farm more interesting
to your boys and girls. Copy the
following note on two postal
cards and mail one to each of the
following addresses; address one
card to
State College,
State College, Pa.
Address the other card to
Agricultural Department,
Washington, D, C.
On each card write as follows:
Gentlemen: Please put me on
your mailing list for all free
printed matter of interest to
farmers.
John Doe,
Needmuch, Pa.
Of course your postoffice is not
"Needmuch," nor your name
"John Doe;" but be sure to write
your name and address so that it
can be read.
You will be surprised how
much of the free reading matter
will interest oou. It all comes to
the News office, and only last
week the little paper showed
pictures of all the stages through
which the Hessian Fly passes and
told at what stage the little pest
can be found helpless so that you
may easily kill all of them at a
time when it will prevent their
laying their eggs on the wheat
this fall or any fall. Surely
this alone would be worth the
two cents. But every paper con
tains something that will make
the boys "sit up and take notice"
that farming can be done at bet
ter profits than are now realized
on many farms. Help the boys
by letting them know what is go
ing on among the great farmers
of the United States as well as in
our own state. Last week we
asked you to write to Washing
ton for the paper containing the
Hessian Fly articles. Did you
do it?
