A dfBcusslon Is rauing through
aoiae of the eastern papers aa to the
date when the first newspaper was
published In the United Slates. On
of, them has gone so far as to say that
'Benjamin Franklin did not found
the Saturday Evening Tost or any
other papt-r In 1725." Another
has discovered a copy of The New
England Courant, published In 1723.
All of this stuff about the first news
paper is Interesting and instructive,
but unless the price of print paper
gets to tumbling soon, we're going
to be a lot more worked up over the
name of the last newspaper to be
published.

Just like public utility corporations
they nefd more money. The tallf
about more money blinds the aver

column. three-fourtl: of which Is
boosting the public utilities In their
demands for higher rates, and the
other fourth a weak sympathy plea
for the newspapers. The sooner the
country publishers learn to throw all
thla iunk in the waotebasket. the
sooner they'll quit pulling the other Springs.

Floyd Lucas tells of an Oklahoma
man who dropped Into the lumber
yard office the other day. They got
to talking about the crops, as people
will, and Lucaa asked him how things
were In Oklahoma. "How's the
corn?" was one of the questions.
"Oh, pretty fair," was the answer,
"but It won't make over fifteen gal
lons to the acre."
And next we read in Bill Maupin'a
paper that his garden la a disap

says, are running in not to exceed

- If that list of customers of the
bootleggers is ever made public, a lot
of people will need to buy locks fo'f

t
r And what If the hardware dealers
should keep a record of those who
buy new locks T
One page in the bootleggers'
ledger reveala the fact that one man
either has an extraordinary capacity
or else Is peddling the stuff him
self. This man in two days bought
the following amounts; -One gallon,
two pints, one-halt pint, 'three pints,
two gallons, four pint. .. v4."

The Inspired compositor or It
may have been the Inspired type
writer, ruined the best Joke we have
made In months. We knew that the
republican brethren would be apt to
crow over the fact that Colonel John
Moher had turned republican, hut In
printed we made It appear -that he
had come out for Cox Instead of
Harding. -
However, nothing was wrong In
our reference to the fact that the
democrats are to gain the support of
Colonel Evans.. At least the colonel
has not denied it.
And. as we Bald before, a fair ex
change is no robbery.
l
mmmm
If the democrats can get rid of a
few others as easily as they lost Col
onel Maher, victory la certain.
; Its fairly certain, anyway.

KIND WORDS FROM.
TIIH ClUDItON CHRONICLE
Chadron Chronicle: "Alliance was
unable to put over the census bureau
the increase that they had hoped to
in Alliance's census to make it come
over the five' thousand mark. Alli
ance was given an official count ot
about 4700, or a hundred or so more
than Chadron got. The people over
at our sister city immediately got
busy and through their commercial
club and Rotary club took another
count of the people and sent It into
the department who had given them
some encouragement that if, upon
comparison, they could show an in
crease they would be certified that
way in the census report. Their re
count added about four hundred
names to tlve roll of inhabitants in
Alliance, but when the figures had
been worked over by the Washing
ton people it dwindled to an Increase
of twelve, which the federal authorl
ties thought was too small an In
crease to change the records for: so
thus again we condole with Alliance
