North, East, West and “South upply in the initiala the word which is the most important in newspaperdom. There probably i» me scientific ‘value to the theory. But it is a pretty conceit; a fancy worthy of a Swinburne or a Keats. Webster's new international dictionary gives no origin for the word “news” ex- cept the French “nouvelles. It is better to think of it as “North, East, West and South” for from these points, and all the thirty-two points of the old standard maritime compass; from all the 360 degrees of the new maritime compass come accounts of events which men call news. What is news to one man {se not necessarily news to’another. The judgment of news is a fine sense, highly developed in the old-timers of the newspaper “game,” who have lived many years with the sound of the telegraph tickers in their ears, the staccato clickity-clack of the typewriter always around them, the roar of the presses or the hammer- ing of the wooden block on the “turtle” in the composing room never far distant. But judgment of news is never to be codified. It is too wrapped up in the human equa- tion. What is “news” to you? It has been observed before now that it is easier to tell what is news than what news is. It is a broader stand- point. If you are interested in sports, the fact that Dempsey is to. mect Gibbons at a town called Shelby is *news.” The fact that Willard and Firpo are the present “logical con- tenders” for Dempsey’s title, and Yankees and : the fact that the Giants are picked as the stronges' teams in their leagues is ‘news.’ But those things are not “news’ strictly speaking, to the Pope. They are not “news” to the head of the Temperance Union, probably, in Ko- komo, Indfana, If you are interested in the stock market the fact that just last week a flood of fake buying orders pre-| cipitated a near-panio in Wall Street and resulted in one” of the But tian or the Mon national fact I resident .|fact that this particular marble was ” ever perpetrated in| it is not} wus “news” to most persons in Eu- and America, But it is not rope -| ‘news’? to the Eskimo or the Lap- r. lander. They don’t give a whoop. Visualize for yourself, if you can, the whole solar system, with its mil- |lions of whirling planets, stars and suns. Ours is a very small planet |in that system, and the important |persons on it are pin points of in- |finitesimal size, There is no “North, East, West and South” out |there. These directions refer to our poles. And having imagined the vastness of these whirling worlds, | with our world just a marble whirl- ing along with the others, can you |imagine what would be “news” out there on some other whirling mar- | ble? Certainly ‘not Harding, or Dempsey, or the Yankees. Only the inhabited would be “news,” and after they had found out how we lived, not even a World War would} be “‘news” to them. Probably Willie Hohenzollern never thought about that. If he had so thought, and his war lords with him, there never would have been any World War. “News” is a big problem. Think about “‘news’’ a little. Read all you can of it. And then think about how small this world is in the mess of worlds and how unimportant are even the most important persons on it. That is a good cure for the! swelled head—what Kipling calls) “too much ego in the cosmos.”” | OUR VANISHING FORESTS Of an original stand of virgin jtimber estimated at about 800 mil-| jlion acres, there remain in th country, according to the National Board of Fire Underwriters, hardly 140 million acres. What is more, jthere is not as yet any concerted |movement toward reforestation to offset the annual cut of 5,500,000 acres and the heavy average annual loss by forest fire. It is the latter phase of the problem that a bulletin of the Na- jtional Board of Fire Underwriters |directs attention. The annual cut cannot be reduced except by the op- erating of mounting costs; the an- nual loss by forest fires can be ma- terially reduced, as has been dem-| onstrated in the Adirondack and <ill regions of New York, and on the forest lands of Pennsylvania;| where the most effective organiza itions have been developed. The re-| jverse of the shield is to be seen in |states such ay Alabama and Arkan- |sas, where there is no organized ef- |fort to protect large forest areas jagainst fire. In the former state ithe forest fire loss for 1922 was! twice as large as the loss in all the! national forests, which contain one- jfifth of all the standing timber in the United States. This contrast is sufficient to show the good economy of providing funds for protection agninst fires. In the year ending June 50 ,1922, 26 states expended $1,596,920 for! this purpose and received federal aid to the extent of 8398,899; Unit- ei states forest service officiuls have estimated that $9,263,000 would give fair protection to all the privately owned forest lands in the country. The difference between the actual and the ideal expenditure would not be burdensome distribut- ed over the several states, and the expenditure of the additional mil- lions would mean that thousands of acres of forest, covered with trees that could not be reproduced shout of 25 to 50 years, would be saved to the nation. ‘nis to a country face to face with a timber famine waid be no small econom; FAMILY LIFE SAFE About every so often somebody feels it incumbent upon him or her to burst forth in print with a screed declaring that family life in America is going on the rocks. Pre- dicting the disintegration of the American home is one of the lead- ing sports of many blue-noses. It is therefore refreshing to find President John M. Thomas, of State College, Pennsylvania, painting on | the other side of the canvas, Dr. Thomas has no sympathy with the calamity howlers. He says that fathers and sons are on exceptionally good tetms today; that on Father’s Day at Penn State there was an intimate association and camaraderie gratifying to see. This is not surprising to those who believe in the future of the coutry and the essential integrity of the home. There is entirely too much loose conversation among half-baked and entirely raw students of sociology about the American home going to pot. Many of these persons make their observations from an outside angle, being neither |fathers nor mothers, and from their vast ignorance they draw out gen- eralties which would not safely be Neighborhood News. he Casper Daily Cribune —By Fontaine Fox wee HER BXHIBITION oN THE STILTS HIGHEST iN THE WeRLO , TAKES | PLACE AFTER THe Want Hiway Improved | ‘POWELL, May 18.— Signs! point toward a su ssful outcome of | the effort to secure a graded highway all the way from Powell to Elk Basin. Through the chamber of commerce of Powell, Elk Basin men are being interested in the plan and a party of them came over to discuss the matter with Powell citizens. All seem agreed that Powell ts losing much business by the lack of a@ better road to Elk Basin, and the absence of a roat be- tween the two points is likewise a great inconvenience to Elk Basin peo- ple. Several of the Powel! chamber of commerce members went to Cody and talke@ the matter of a Powell- Elk Basin highway over with the members of the Cody club at their| weekly luncheon. Assurance was re- ceived that Cody would assist Powell in this road, which would be mutually beneficial to both Cody and Powell as it would help to keep business within the county and broad-minded business mei can eee that a dollar kept in Powell can not help but in a measure spread its benefits on to Cody. Elk Basin, Powell and Cody people seem to be in agreement on this road, and it is very likely that the efforts to have it built may bring about zome actual results. Fractures Skull SHERIDAN, Wyo., May 17.—War- ren Brewster, 23 years of age, el@ est son of Mrs. John Arnold of Bir- ney, {s 1n a dangerous condition at the Brewster ranch at Birney suf- fering from serious injuries sustained when he was thrown from @ horse while driving cattle, {t was learned. Dr. W. H. Roberts was summoned and prepared to bring the injured man to Sheridan for an X-ray exam- ination ff it is found possible to move him. According to the meagre reports of the accident which have been recelv- ed here, the young man started after cattle early in the morning on a sad- die pony he usually rode and which was considered gentle, No alarm was felt when he failed to appear in time for lunch, but when late in the after- noon his riderless horse appeared at the corral gate, a searching party was organized and the injured mag was found lying unconscious in a coulee about five miles from the house. It is thought that he lala for 7 or 8 hours in this condition before he was discovered. Advices say that Brewster hag not regained total consciousness since the accident and has been unable to. speak since that time, The fear is expressed that he may have suffered concus- sion of the brain in the fall, vaamalsibs 14 tt Bank Fate in Balance’ GILLETTE, Wyo., May 17.—The Bank of Gillette will resume business providing the companies that are in- volved agree to leave their money in the bank on satisfactory terms.

The marvel is that so many of these organizations have been able to grow and prosper without giving more attention to closer man-to-man understanding between employes, managers and the public, The employes of an industry, great or small, from common labor or office boy to president, are responsible for the success or failure of the business, be it a pay roll of two or 200,000. Managers and pay roll em- ployes are thus responsible largely through the attitude they assume toward the public and the understanding they give the public of the pach lens involved in the industries which they operate. Hence, every one of them must do his or her part in rendering satisfactory service to the public which will judge the result largely by the relationship of its employes, including its officials, toward the consumer. So it can readily be seen that in final an- alysis that personnel and public relations really goes to the root of prosperity of any industrial or pay roll organization, whether it be a factory, utility or any other corpora- tion which depends for its success on public good will and patronage.
