THE ALLIANCE HERALD, TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1920. Random Shots It lAlrly makes our cjrvii 111 villi tr&ra hen we trad the IhIphI drive ! from tlu tn of Itn the ltlblrr. What noble spnt.iniont thai innn does write (if he doc b wilte tticm). . Community growth, iitfB The lllbber, is not founded on the suc cess of any one man, but is rolardt.'d by a dingle failure. foroe rf The llrrnM wns nll-flred buoy, we ashed him If he would help us alonn by writing iln .story of the Community club's annual meeting lit nl b:inquet. "Sure." he Pnld. "glatl to help yoU out nny lime you're In a tight place." Tliit'B the kind of a fellow ho hap pen to be. And ho wrote the story. And It outdated the story of the ir.ino event which appeared In the ronteinp Jiit like the suinmliie out rhisaes tliu inoont-'hiur. How much of lliis dova he prac tice, and how much is written for the consumption by tender-hearted readers? In other words, does he leally hope that the present owners of The Herald will succeed or would bo be wIlllnR 1o fpond pood money to have that little prophecy mado five and a half months ngo- coma true. Have you seen one of the latent buttons? It bears these homely words: "I am mrklnj? my old clothes do." There's nothing the matter with thrift. Bcti Franklin would be worthy of such a sentiment. But we'll bet. he wouldn't wear the )Utton. For those who like it, why not near several buttons? On one of them, preferably the first in line, "I'm all run down behold." And another, "Listen to my sole Happing." For those aesthetically Inclined: '"Hie stars have nothing on my serge's shine." (Artistic, that's us all over.) And those who nre hopeless: "I'm a blarsted wreck. Look, doggone you, look!" We note that jou can't write any thine: fc our 'steemed contemporary tip the street unless you are on Its payroll. Or nt least that is true if you bill vo the aforesaid competitor. Hut don't you do lt Don't let em hid lu. We know one citizen of Alliance "who has written a good many col umns for tho hereinbefore mentioned competitor, and we'll bet nearly all of our earthly resources that he has never yet received a dim from the nouthwctt comer of Dox butte and Fourth. The reason wo feel ao cocksure about this is that the sanio gentle man has occasionally consented to .-write for The Herald, and this news paper is mighty glad to print any news that he cares to write. But we never had the nerve7 to offer him money for helping out In a pinch, and he has done It more than once. It would hurt his feelings, we believe. He Isn't built that way. And we'll give odds of twenty to one that not a -red cent of the con temp's coin has ever found its way Into his pocket. The other day, when the whole One in a wiiil" fie writes for our contemp, though. And when ho does we know it In The Herald ofllce in stantly. We can rpot his style richt off the bat. lie has a style some thing distinctive which can't be maintained by a man who hns to draw his inspiration from Hattl Creek, (note by op.: Why not Willow Springs or .Sunny Brook?). Not Ions ago he wrote an editorial for cur ctmtenip on the Wilson-Lansing cmiti -ovi-rsy. Everybody In The Herald office tend that editorial. And everybody In The HcrnM of fice said: "liufua Jones wrote that editorial." You see, we know Itufus. He Is not only a newspaper man by pro fession, but a trained editorial w titer. We know his earmarks. And whenever we see anything really good In our contemp, it's a pretty safe bet that he wrote it. Now, The Herald wouldn't Insult Hufus by offering him money for his work. Neither would our contemp. Which is why we said, "Don't let 'em kid you." It's all right with us. We hnve never hud to call on Itufus to write our editorials, but he Is the only man we know of that we'd trust with thnt Job. But wo are glad when Itufus finds time to write a' news article for us now and then, and we suppose our contemp must be doubly glad when Itufo takes a job off his hands for which nature hasn't fitted him. Nature, unlike some of her prodjicta. Isn't liberal. Al'TO AM MtlZI) CAMPAIGN OFF WITH A 1SHJ III fill (Continued from rape 1.) No Time to Ilrsltnto Old Man Opportunity Is knocking at your door.

The poorer an editorial writer, the higher Is the valuation he puts on the product of his think-tank. We ti uat Bufo won't get sore be cause we drag his name Into this. He has the good taste to stick to a handB-off policy when any little un pleasantness develops In the local newspaper fraternity. Anyway, he's out of town now. By the way, wo don't stand In awe of cub reporters. We've fired too many of them. 'Nother thing: One fellow who is going to end up by leaving town is a brawny, two-fisted Irishman, and he ain't afraid of anything that walks around on two legs. This may be worth remembering in the light of developments which may show up a little later. Herald Want Ads Iny Dividends.
