7 mMi SEVEN GOOD WAYS Fof th« benefit of Transylvania people who want to help the editor and don’t know how, I am submitting the following good ways: First of all give him the news—^he wants it. Give it to him, even though liometimes it does iA>t get into the pa per. He hasn’t time always to tell you why. some pieces of news are not used; but ten to one he has a perfect* ly good and impersonal reason. Give him the news, even though you may not be especially interested in it. Some folks never think to give the editor news except when they are con cerned in it one way or anollier. Second, don't give him a piece of news and tell him you want it printed just as it is written. There's a right and a wrong way to do even such a simple thing as writing an article for a country paper. One printer had to leave town because he printed every piece of news just as it was handed in—spelling, punctuation, and all— and printed it with the name of the person who gave it to him. Third, don’t try to play a joke through the paper unless you explain it to the editor. ♦ A thing in cold type looks a lot different and sounds dif ferent from a thing repeated by word or when the voice, a facial expression and a gesture, perhaps, help to show its meaning. Fourth, don’t worry for fear the editor is making too much money; you should want him to be properous. He can and will give you a better paper. He will be less likely to have compromises with his conscience over certain kinds of advertising. And any how he can’t make a big foi'tune out of the paper—he will be lucky if he keeps going. Fifth, be ready to tell younr editor when something in the paper pleases you. Once in a while you tell your preacher he has a good sermon so tell the editor something about his paper. Sixth, get your “copy” to him early. Take it to him for the next week the day after the previous pub lication, if you can. It takes time to .set type and make a paper. Did you over wonder what the editor did all the time between publication days? You would know if you wore publish ing a newspaper yourself. Lastly, go in some day when the paper is being: printed. Go in several times during the day, and you will have more of a realization of what a job it i^ to make a weekly paper. C. 71. KLUErPELBURG TRADING AT HOM1& This is becoming a thread bafie ,si ject, yet full of life, responsibilitl and business dangers. A large portion ©f the “News, items found in the (iltra society cO umns, mention shoppiiie in Ashevil and other places by Brevard people Allow me to quote a few of the. . newsy items “Mesdames Grover an Carpenter made a trip tk> Ashevil shopping in the drygoo(js stores.’ “The Brevard Printing fprce spen the day in Asheville haviflfg job wor done.” “Madame De ,■ Hardware spent the day in Asheville buyin drygoods and rattles for her twins.’ “Mesdames Drygoods and Notion spent a successful day in Ashevilk shopping in the hardware stores.’ Misses Painter and La. Milliner shop ped in Asheville today and bough heavily in house paints and Sprin; hats, for home use.” “Old man De Shoe and co. spent several days ii Asheville buying everything for hi. family needs for the season.” “Mes- d£imes De Hote anu Boardinghouse spent the day in Asheville, buying large bills of table ware and grocer ies,” etc. “Mesdames Bankerous and Ecclcsiasticus spent a profitable daj in Asheville buying family supplies' and dong work in the interest of the Asheville banks and church work in Asheville, subscribing liberally to both.” “Mesdames De. Motor and La. Tramp motored to and tramped all over Asheville today picking up bargains in Asheville stores.” The disease is mentioned now for a few friendly remarks in a way of a I'emedy. Why is this? We are all guilty. In the first place do the mer chants keep in stock all that the peo ple want and need? Do the mer chants here sell for as small a profit, all things considered, as is done in Asheville? If the market here is pro perly supplied and if goods can be bought for a few cents loss in Ashe ville then those who trade from home to save a few cents lose dollars in not building up their home trade and town. I believe that our merchants, by ;arryinc: full stocks, coulj frive tht Asheville people good bargains and make a .irood profit. Why not try the shoe on the other foot? C. W. H. Pessimist vs. Optimist. The pessimist says the country is troing to the dogs; the optimist says “'Veil, it’s a fine day for it.” Go to the BREVARD PHARMACY for Norris Candies, Cigars, Cigarettes, to baccos, ice cream and soft drinks.

And his mother added, “It’s fine, squeal, squeal, It’s fine.” “I agree,” said Miss Ham. And she grunted five times, one grunt after the other to show that she agreed. “What are you all talking about?" asked Red Top, the rooster. “You don’t know?" asked all th® “Oh yes, I know,” said Red Top, crowing proudly. “Then wljy did you ask?” inquired Brother Bacon. “You haven’t much sense.” said Red Top. “Of course I don’t know, or I wouldn’t liave asked.” “Well did I ever,” grunted Miss Ham. “You said one moment ago that you did know and now you say you don’t know. Whicii do you mean? Do you know what we were talking about or don’t you?” “Yes,” said Sammy Sausage, “tliat is what we would like to know.** “Well,” said Red Top, “I don't know, and if I had I wouldn’t have asked you. When I said I knew I thought you all had sense enough to know tliat I was joking. It seems that none of you can take a joke.” ‘‘Take a joke,” rei)eated Brother iJacon. “You say that none of iis can take a joke. Well, why should weV A joke l.«;n’t anythinjr to eat.

Il’s nothing to eat .so why should we take it?” Red Top the rooster clucked and crowed and grinned. “This is the best joke.” ‘•What do we care aliout it being ti'e l)e.st joke?” asked lirotlier r.acon. ‘‘We've already told you we didn’t rare about a joke because it was noih- iiij{ to eat. We don't care wliether it is a he'=!t one or not. Now if you were talking about a best dish of food —tliat would be dilferent.” “Yes, that would be quite different,’* squealed the otiier pifrs. “I was wrong,” said Rud Top grin ning. “Of course you have no wisli to take a joke because it is nothing to eat. I meant, of course, that it was a joke when I pretended I knew wliat you were talking about just aft(>r I Jiad a.sked you that question.
