Her coming to Den- mark is like a fairy tale come true.” Flor- ida’s loss is Denmark's gain, and Key West's “Adopted Daughter” becomes the Danish siete ieshclh Girl Friend.” “AN the news ahat’ 8 tit te -print,” the slogan of one of the largest and atl influential papers in the United States. That may apply in a large city, but not in the smaller communities. While news that is not fit to print should always be suppressed, there is many an item of gen- eral news that is fit to print yet inadvis-} ewble to give it publication in the small town dailies. Editor & Publisher doubts that Stihpression ever pays a newspaper, no} matter what the circumstances. Con- tinuing this periodical.says: “Any item, no matter how delicate, can be written by skilled editors to serve the best ends of community life. Most editorial fears are | Musory. We know of instances | where | publishers have actually killed news with | irreparable damage to their own erty, just to be a good fellow to some banker or merchants who had nothing at all in -his mind except ‘preserving his own | property values. That's carrying good | fellowship too far. It is a vicarious sacri- prop- | fice.” H a ie when conversation lags Minister | * DOLLARS COME HOME Trace the course of a dollar spent for THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Daily Cross-word Puzzle property improvement, repairs, or replace- | eeeeeosoosorooooooson® ment. J Part of it goes to local merchants, who provide the needed _ materials. Another part goes to the workman on the job. The workman spends. his part for the necessities of life. The corner’ grocery, the drug store, the department store get it—and through them it goes to their em- ployes, to the farmer and the manufac- turer. Then the circle begins again—the money enters new pockets, passes through other industries, travels to other sections of the country. The part of the dollar going to the store providing the supplies follows much the same course. It pays the store’s work-, ers. It pays bills. it goes to factories to purchase new stock. From the factory it goes to other workmen, to related indus- tries supplying raw materials, to in- vestors. And, at last, the dollar comes back, through one channel or another, ito the original spender. In a short length of time that dollar has had a thousand uses. Jt has done the work of a.thousand dollars. That’s the beauty of money which is actually cireulating—it is used an infinite number of times, and it does as‘much good each time. © Now is the time to obtain needed re- | pairs at the lowest cost in decades—and at the same time do your bit in fighting depression. Jobs are cheaper than charity—and_| without the jobs, there won't be anything for charity. AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS Perhaps in no other industry is there such a variety of conditions as in the news- paper business. - Totalled indiscriminately, there are something over 14;000 news- papers in the United States, ranging from; the smallest country weekly which prints only two pages in its own shop, \with addi-' tional pages printed by a syndicate, to the: great: metropolitan dailies which employ thousands of p each. For the smallest, probably not more! than 25 pounds.of paper is. required each | week, while the Chicago Txibune uses for: one Sunday edition all the paper produced from timber grown on 240 acres of land. According to Grove Patterson, the, well-known writer, ‘the New York Times; employs. 3,100 persons, with a payroll of $25,000,000 a year. Hearst’s newspapers and magazine use more than $50,000,000 worth of paper ‘a year in normal times. . But in spite of the disparity between the smallest and the largest of American newspapers, the publisher of thé small} country weekly need not be overawed by! the size of his metropolitan rival. The local newspaper has a place ‘in ‘the life of; its community which the great dailies can not usurp if the Jocal publisher is alive to: his opportunities and makes the most of them. Now,.as always, the home town news- paper is the best and cleanest exponent of constructive journalism. — Ras ea SPEED IN FALLING If one should fall from an airplane, or datloon ata height however great, ‘his velocity would never exceed 118 miles an hour at any point before reaching the earth, according to the conclusions of ‘the Avmy Air Service as a result of experi-’ ments made with dummies, This is contrary to the belief formerly held by most persons that a body con- i tinually increased its speed when falling from any distance. The fact is that this rapid increase gf speed in the case of a body similar to that of a man continues only until it has fallen about 1,200 feet, after which it maintains a constant rate, due to the resistance of the air. This discovery also explodes J up. ACROSS 1, Staft 4. Promontory : Competens’, — [LJOJPIE] Germ cells IA[D| 15. Conic ection . Native metais 7 48.
