This. is written on the Aquit:nia one ot many lloating cities that cross the ocean, as free from romance as the moving pictures shown on Deck A. \\'l10ever has • c.rossed in old days rubs '<i~ eyes, hke Rtp Van \Vinkle.

They turn at the notice, "X o dog~ allowed forward of this si.,:n." The dog wears a beautiful ribbon, the lady, possibly a grandmot!l~r, wears brilliant pink silk stocKmgs, of such high visibility that an old time captain might have put her in irons. !1-fuch gold on her dress and on her cheeks profusely spread the rouge that J.ezabel wore, 111 Hacine's descripiton, tour r.:parer, des ans, /'irreparable ouvra[/c. --- Tlt:.t modern ~cafaring lady passes, and here comes. another forty years !';younger, forty time; worse.

Misses Smith & Miss Coomber SENATOR SMOOT HOME TOWN PAPER TABOO DEMANDS ACTION Reports and newspaper clippings from other sections of the country indicate that each community views with a sort of pride the fact that a newspaper is published locally full of local ,news and for local people. During the month of August we offered the Journal at the price of 50 cents 3: year, and offered to give as a premmm a year's subscription to the National Farm News, a weekly published in Washington, D. C., an auto strop razor and case and blade an unbreakable comb, a coupon good' for one $2.50 photograph mounted, ana several other items of minor value. We fig ure the premiums worth more than $5 and all given on a weekly paper that sold for 50 cents a year. And age,nts went out and tried to sell this proposition. They met with no success. Surely the end is ncar when any sane home loving man would turn ~own a proposition like that. Dur1~g the mo.nth of September we are gomg to offer the Journal at the · price of 25 cents a year and continue the giving of premiums while thev last. You see it doesn't make much difference"what kind of a nroposition we make, there's no danger of losi,ng because everyone spends their entire income buying an automobile and they have nothing left for anybody else,not even the home tow_n newspaper. But you would hardly believe that people would turn down $5.00 in premiums and the Midvale Journal for 25 cents a year-but they do. We should like to hear from other business monstrosities for publication in the next issue. What have you?
