THE FRONT PAGE. ' s
‘ This morning's Charlotte Observer con
tains the following editorial, which we
tru6t everybody within the "sound of
the voice" of The Tribune and Times will
read and then read again :
“Front page positions : iu the newspa
pers are not given to news stories merely'
to please an individual of a groilp of in
dividuals—not in standard newspapers—
but they are placed there because they
a-e regarded in the newspaper office as
the most important stories available at
the time the front page must be closed.
“Several factors are taken into consid
eration in deciding which are the most
important stories, chief of which are the
questions: How many people will be in
terested in them, not in the city of publi
cation alone but taking all the readers of
the paper everywhere into consideration ;
how important is the ]>ersonage or organi
zation involved in the story; now new’
is the news in the story, that is. is it the
first 'break' or has it already been print
ed i n another newspaper, and did it ha[>-
pen since last issue of the paper or is it
two or three days old? The idea is that
the front -page shall carry the most im
portant news of the day and nothing but
news that lias not already been publish
ed unless it is of such news value as to
outweigh the fact that the main part of
the story has been published.
"The importance of any piece of news
on any particular day is only relative.
One day there will be so much important
news that many good stories that might
ordinarily- take front page position are
crowded off to an inside page, while on
other days important stories are so few
that news of secondary importance is
given first page position. *
“Another factor is the hour when the
story is received. Sometimes a story
that ranks almost with the biggest of the
night becomes available so late that it
must take secondary position, else be
left out entirely, because there is not
time left in which to re-arrange the front
Page.
“To newspaper men all this is academ
ic, but occasional incidents suggest that
many readers do not understand why cer
tain stories are placed on the front page,
while other stories, of far more import
ance from their viewpoint, are not."
-The requests for position for various
articles submitted or written in the office
is one of the most annoying ones the man
aging editor of a newspaper has to con
tend with. The paper necessarily must
have some regularity of make-up, and
the editor and not the reader, must be
the one who decides where an article
must be placed, due not only to the reg
ular plan of the paper but to the exigen
cies of make-up. Only recently a good
friend complained that a certain local'
article in which he was interested
was not given a position such as he de
sired.
“We put it on the local page,” we
said.
“O, no, you didn’t," he retorted, “it
was on the second page.”
“Well, that is the local page." was the
reply.
Please note:
The tot page is reserved for Associ
ated Press news and such local news as
are of sufficient general importance to
be given a feature heading.
The second page is reserved for such
local matters as are of enough importance
to be given single or double headings,
other than social or personal.
the last 'page is the “short local” I
page, or for local items which are pub
lished without headings.
On a six page paper the third page, is
the page for social and personal items andt
on an eight-page paper these go on the
fifth puge.
Os- course the requirements of the
nptke-up at times may make it negesppy
to vary these j mineral amngjjplmte.
Please, friends, when you subset any
thing far publication 4o not ask us to
put it on say partieelsr page.

BUSINESS AND THE OUTLOOK
ir Philadelphia Record.
T One day last week a prosperous look
"* Jng gentleman was accosted on the high
y way by two friendly strangers, one of
if whom pleasantly inquired, “How is busi
• ness?” His reply was, “It’s fine; its
fine." But he had no time for details,
d for the strangers in a very systematic
way showed him their guns and relieved
him of his ready-cash. While other sec
tions of the country report a reduction
in retail trade due largely to the mild
weather. Philadelphia reports a volume
. of retail trade quite without precedent. 1
r and the buying of pig iron on a scale re
minding one somewhat of the activities
. of last Spring.
Reports to Dun's show that there is
still a heavy distribution of merchan
-0 dise, as indicated by ear loadings, and
0 there are other evidences that a big busi
jj ness in the aggregate is being done. Yet
j the disposition to operate only as the
need arises remains sharply defined, and
1 curtailment cf production has continued
at not a few plants.
) The industrial feature of the week has
> been the buying movement in pig iron,
’ which is estimated by The Iron Age as
amounting to 600.000 or 630,000 tons
i in six days, approximating the total pro
, duction of merchant furnaces for the
whole month of October. As there has
been no important buying movement in
pig iron for more than half a year, the
significance of the large present pur
, chases is taken as, a favorable sign for
the turn into the new year. Secretary
Mellon s proposals for tax reduction are
accepted by business and financial inter
ests generally as an effectual bar tp
bonus legislation: but it will not pre
vent further agitation, which will con
tinue until a showdown comes in the
December session of Congress. Building
operations have gone oil with but slight
■ recession, continued mild weather being
a favoring factor.
Pittsburgh's market in steel-making
iron lias not been so active as the mar
ket for foundry iron. The large turnover
in pig iron was facilitated by price con
cessions on the part of some furnaces,
but in the Chicago district furnaces have
marked up asking prices 50 cents to sl.
Steel mil loperatiotis continue to taper
off slightly. The probability of a mild
buying movement in steel products is
hinted at. but is not definitely predicted.
In the textile trades the retailer’s
hostile attitude toward price advances
has been a feature of the past week's
developments. In the primary markets
the rise in raw cotton brought about
higher prices in unfinished cotton goods,
leading to a lessened demand and fur
ther mill curtailment, with the growing
complaint of inability to operate at a
profit under existing conditions of high
raw cotton and resistance to higher
prices for unfiuisßetl fabrics. The liome
and foreign wool markets continue firm.
The buying abroad for the American
trade has been largely in the finer fleeces.
Texas sales seem to have been for the
dealers, the mills not being yet ready
for new supplies.
In the Chicago grain market liquida
tion m December wheat was lighter, and
the nearby deliveries showed light
gams The sentiment of the market
will be show when it been,ms known
whether the new Congress means to “do
something for the farmer.” Opinion
among the operators as to corn seems
fixed, some traders looking for Mav

The two men were alone at the time
and It is understood that they had gone
to a point on Dan river near Randolph
for the purpose of dynamiting to obtain
fish.
The explosion took place at dusk and
resulted in many people of the neigh
borhood hastening to the scene of the
explosion which was marked by a dust
cloud in the air. All they found was a

Facsimile oI President CaoUige’s letter Urging Observance
ot Golden Rule Sunday
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE has writ
ten to the Near East Relief head
quarters in New York commend
lnß the idea of International Golden
Rule Day to be observed all over the
world on Sunday, December 2nd, as
a means of providing food for the
orphans in the Near East and urging
the widespread observance of the day,
both as a practical method of help
and as an expression of international
goodwill.
The President's letter, a facsimile of
which reproduced above, said in
part: “I feel sure that this suggestion
will meet with very widespread ap
proval and will bring more closely to
mind the charitable requirements of
those who a re. prosperous to those who
are in adversity. It suggests not only
a practical method of help, hut the
highest expression of sympathy, by
sharing for a time the privations of
others.”

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
Golden Rule Day will be observed
simultaneously in fourteen different
nations on December 2nd. On this day
people are asked to forego their usual
more or less, elaborate Sunday dinner
and eat instead a meal approximately
the same as that served to the orphans
in the care of the Near East Relief
and contribute the difference in the
cost of the two menus to the support
of these orphans.
In this country the movement is
sponsored by the Near East Relief and
contributions will be made through it.
Other countries will co-operate in the
same way through their own national
relief organizations.
Details as to the proper sort of food
to serve on Golden Rule Day may be
obtained by writing to the Near East
Relief, 151 Fifth Avenue, New York-
City, or the nearest state office of the
relief organization. .

DINNER STORIES
A patient in a sanatorium was seen
sitting on the lawn holding a fishing
rod in his hands, apparently under the
delusion that he was fishing. A vis
itor approached him and said:
“How many fish hove you caught?”
The patient replied: “You’re the
ninth.”
Huh?
“Do you like bananas?” asked the
lady.
“Madame,” replied the slightly delff
old gentleman, “I do not. I prefer the
old-fashioned nightshirt.”
Some .Printer.
“May I print a kms on your lips?" I
said.
And she nodded her sweet permission.
So we went to press, and I rather
guess '
We printed a full edition.
“One edition is hardly enough.”
She said with a charming pout.
So again on the press the form was
placed.
And we got some “extras” out.
Hostess: “Won’t you have some more
pudding. Mr. Brown?”.
Mr. Brown: “Oh. .just a mouthful.”
Hostess: “Nellie, fill up Mr. Brown's
plate.”
Where tile Money Came From.
A landlord in a Certain town found
it no easy matter to collect his rent with
unfailing regularity. •
One woman was particularly trying
in this respect and he thought himself
lucky if he only received from her part
of the rent due.
One morning when he called at her
house - she offered him a half dollar.
“Is that vjll you’ve got for me?” he
inquired with a scowl. “You’re so
much in arrears.”
“Go on now and be satisfied.” was
the reply. “You wouldn’t have that if
m.v old man hadn’t sold the back door.”
“Were you ever patroness of a so
rciety affair?" Y
"No. I'm always one of tin- pa
tronized.”
He—What do you sa'y to a tramp in
the park? %
She—l never speak to them.
Proof.
Ihe dear young thing whimpered:
John, already you have begun to
slight me. Are you sure you love me?”
Gove you?” exclaimed the five months’
groom. "Why, Della, what more do
yuli want? Don’t I let you tell me
what time I’ve got to come home
nights?”
A married couple had engaged a cook.
She was pretty as a picture, but Iter
cooking was terrible, ami one morning
the bacon was burned to sucb a crisp
as to be wholly inedible.
* Dear.” said the wife to the husband,
I m afniid the cook has burned the
baron. You‘ll have to be satisfied with
a kiss for breakfast this morning.”

gruffly. “Call her in.”' I
