What a week! It all started as a beautiful day Monday. We had been a little around here for a week, after one of our printers quit and went into competition with us. But this had posed no problem. We got a paper out last week on time, with little difficulty. However, this week has been different Monday before noon one of our Linotype operators took sick, and was unable to come back to work Tuesday or Wednesday. Without type, a newspaper is rather helpless. This we adjusted to, however, and ye old editor went back to the keyboard and began punching out type. Tuesday was another day. After one Lintotype broke down and was repaired, and after some trouble on the press, we felt that it was clear sailing. However, Tuesday afternoon a part on our engraver went out. and we had no replacement. After a few frantic phone calls, we were able to find a part and get the engraver going Tuesday evening. At this writing (Wednesday morning) everything is back in shape, and it would appear; that the paper will come out, barring any further setbacks, although it may be a little smaller in pages than we would have liked. Oh, well, we should have known that when things are going too well on a Monday morning, you had better look short-hande- d 12-pa- out. To quote Mr. Shakespeare: Sweet are the uses of adversity, which, like a toad, though ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel In its head. It seems that Mrs. Nora Mathews, retiring librarian at Roosevelt, is having honors heaped on her right and left Since the story appeared in our paper last week on her retiring, we have noticed a nice write-u- p in one of the daily papers, as well as a fine editorial tribute. We feel the tributes were and again we offer our congratulations on a long term of service. well-deserve- d, UIMTAH MMN RfCOtP Till KSIIAY, JAN. es n 20. 1906 Roundtable set for January 26 A Boy Scout roundtable for all Cubbing and Seoul loaders will bo hold next Wednesday.
