Show WE LIKE OUR WORK There is grief in e.ll business. The man who eudeavors to accomplish something worth while never finda his rath strewn with roses. Hut sometimes we feel that newspaper publishing carries with it an inordinate in-ordinate amount of trouble. One week there is no news and we have to drain our imaginations to the very dregs to find something that will interest inter-est our readers. The next week there is so much excitement that we almost wish our type were made of rubber, in order that we might squeeze into limited li-mited space the large volume of interesting matter on hand. We are often hosteged with the rival claims of two extreme partisans, and if we adopt what we beleve to be the truth, namely the middle course, we are accused by each side of favoring the other. When the machinery in the shop is in excellent working order business is apt to be slack. Dut the moment something goes wrong with the Intricate mechanism of the linotype we are deluged with orders, and every customer wants his Job today. There are compensations, however. We know of nothing that can bring n.ore deep seated satisfaction than editing and publishing a country paper. There can never be anv monotony. We are forever dealing with the Imponderable Impon-derable and highly interesting subjct, human nature. The aveiage newspaper newspa-per worker experiences more in a year than many people experience in a life time. And all this makes life interesting. Newspaper work in a community like ours brings one a wide circle of frl-ends, and true friendship is one of the finest things that any of us can get out of life. Dut in addition to all this there is also the satisfaction one de-lives de-lives out of working to up build the community in which one lives. To elaborate ela-borate upon this is unnecessary. Our intelligent readers realize how. vital to the welfare of the community a good local paper U. In short we like our work. In spite of its difficulties, it makes life interesting in-teresting and happy. Iu the opportunities it ofers for serving the community, commun-ity, It gives purpose to existence.
