Wiseman, edi tor of the Enterprise, had with one of his constituents: “The moon was but three days old when the belligerent editor of the Enterprise made his debut on the battlefield Saturday evening. He was arrayed in a stale shirt anda aper sack full of eggs. The enemy ‘J Fratied him in the person of Frank McVey, and called him to task for repeated indulgence in personal jour- nalism at his expense. After afew wordy preliminaries, McVey smote Wiseman severely on his frontisplece and Wiseman’s person smote the eldewalk. The belligerent editor’s face was badly scrambled—likewise the package of eggs. More punish- ment would have been inflicted had not bystanders interferred and held the angry enemy while the edi- tor made his get-a-way.” Beautiful Picture Free.

If you were going to investigate a location, wouldn’t your first step be to send for copies of the local papers and study their advertisements? In no other way, says Fame, could you put your finger so quickly and surely{on the pulse of trade. You could tell mach moreeasily than walking through the streets whether it wasa live town or a dead one, and just what forme of business were m »stfactive. Andif you judge anoth- er town in this way—how about your own? Road Engineer Hill makes the statement that out of over 11,000 tales of road in Missouri, only about 8 per centis made road.
