1ERAL
I
All Matter Appearing In News
papers for Which Pay Is Re
ceived Must Be Labeled.
From Tuesday's Dally.
Postmaster General Hitchcock
has issued instruclio.ns for carry
ing into ell'ecl the newspaper and
periodical law, first returns un
der which must be made by Octo
ber 1. The law requires that
publishers shall 111c on the first
days of April and October of each
year, both with the postmaster
general and with the local post
master, under penally of denial of
the use of the mails, a sworn
statement of the names and ad
dresses of the owners, publisher,
editor, managing editor and busi
ness manager of their newspapers
ami periodicals.
Religious, fraternal, temper
ance and scientific publications
are excepted. For a corporation
the names of the holders of more
than 1 per cent of the stocks,
bonds or other securities must be
given, and in the case of daily
newspapers a statement of the
average paid circulation for the
preceding six months is required.
All editorial or other reading
matter appearing in a newspaper
or magazine for the publication of
which pay is accepted or promis
ed must be marked "advertise
ment" under' a penalty of a line
of not less than .$50 or more than
500.
Following is what the post
master general thinks about the
law: "In my judgment and I so
expressed it to file congress the
provision will be harmful as it
will require the continuous use of
valuable space in the publications
and at the same time be resented
as a censorship of the press. One
of the greatest, difficulties now
encountered in Ihe enforcement
of the law relating lo the second
class mail privilege is that Ihe
posloflice department is compell
ed by law lo make inquiries into
so many aspects of the private
business of publishers. This
gives rise (o (lie complaint ill
founded in my opinion that, the
government interferes needlessly
with the privileges of Ihe press.
My judgment is that, it should be
the constant aim, not only of (lie
congress, but of Ihe postollice de
partment, fo lessen the necessity
for suprevision of the public press
in Ihe enactment and administra
tion of postal laws."
On July 1. lit 1 2. there were 28.
in newspapers and periodicals
having second class mail
privileges. m There were 2,511
dailies, 17,217 weeklies, 5,277
monthlies, 1,351 quarterlies and
1,785 having other periods of is
sue. Of these all except obout
1,500 exempted publications will
he afl'eeled by the new law.
New Furnace in Church.
The trustees of Ihe Presbv-
ferian church held a meeting last
night and awarded n contract to
John Bauer for a new heating
plant, which will be installed at
once. The new furnace is a'Camp-
bell ho air make and will over
come the dillieully that has been
experienced in the past in heat
ing Ihe church.
Plattsmouth Boy Promoted.

mouth boys and we learn with

THE HOME TOWN.
The home town's the best town,
whatever town it is,
The fair town, the square town,
lor any kind of biz
To live in, to give in, to work in,
to play,
To dwell in, to sell in, to buy day
by day.
The home town's the best town,
wherever it may be
To dream for, to scheme for, to
bring prosperity,
To shout for, lo spoul for, and
not to run it down
For it's your town and my town
and ev'rybody's town!
I MUST GET A '
i'IE ON OURSELVES
From TuoHuay'H Duily.
The business men cannot afford
to delay' action on the good road
proposition to the rifle range.
Neither can the county commis
sioners. The city proposes lo re
pair Ihe street to the city limits
and put, it in tine shape, and now
it is up to the county commis
sioners to do likewise with the
highway to the camp grounds and
range. There is no trouble about
road work in other sections of the
county, and there should be none
in this section, and there is no
excuse whatever for not pulling
this road in good condition. We
understand there is over ? 12,000
in the county road fund, and
there should be no trouble on I hat
score. The commissioners are
out of (own today looking after
some county business over al
Elmwood, but they will return this
evening, when this matter should
be attended to right away tomor
row. The Journal has no doubt
Ihe commissioners will do what
lliey think is right, when they go
over the route and see what is to
he done. It is a county road and
needs nYe. attention of the' com
missioners as well as other roads
of Cass county.
Shamrocks Here Sunday.
The management of (lie ball
team has secured the Shamrocks
of South Omaha for a game here
Sunday and Ihe fans will be given
an opportunity to see this fasl
team play again. The Shamrocks
is the team that played Hie seven-teen-inning
game here Ihe Fourth
of July, and they will put up a
red-hot game. The soldiers' team
from the rifle range will probably
be the attract ion on Sunday, Sep
tember 20, ami as they have quite
a reputation, will make a good at
traction. Another Illustration.
From Tuesday's Dally.
John Hall, jr., while returning
with his aulo delivery wagon from
the rifle range this morning, had
Ihe misfortune to have Hie. ma
chine sink into the mud up to the
hubs of the wheels and it re
quired considerable labor to gel
Ihe machine out again. This
demonstrates Ihe need of a good
road to I lie range, over which sup
plies can be hauled.
Depart for Colorado.
From Tuesday's Dally.
W. E. Roseiicrans, the land
man, departed this afternoon with
a parly for Ihe Costilla estate in

over Ihe beauties of that, prolific
region. Those in Ihe parly were:
Chris Iske, L. C. llorscher, Wil
liam Sclmlz, F. A. Raker and W.
E, Roseiicrans.
Rifle Practice Starts Today.
From Wedni'Bday'H Pally.
The rille practice at Ihe range
is to slarl today, and the soldiers
will be kept busy from now on al,
their practice. There are quite a
number of new recruits in Ihe
balallion and lliey will lake quite
a lot of practice to put them in
Ihe class with Ihe veteran shots.
The shooting grounds are located
east of Die (rack and just west of
I lie present camp grounds.

TRE FATAL ERROR OF
HURTING YOOR TOWN
Spend Your Money Where It Will
Do You the Most
Good.
From Tuesday's Dally.
When you go into a local store
and buy goods from a local mer
chant, you do not get only Ihe
goods. You get the thrifty town,
the schools which your children
attend, the church which preserves
the moral atmosphere of the
community, the things you enjoy
and use, which you and Ihe mer
chant, pay for in common.
You could send Hie money lo
some other town and get the
goods; but you cannot get these
other things and, even if you
think the price is smaller, it is
larger in the long run, since you
get less in return for your money.
It is plainly evident, then, that
the more of your money you
spend at home, Hie more will you
get for your money, the quicker
vvill the community become a
town with all the conveniences
and none of the inconveniences
of the metropolis. The more
money you spend at home in
patronizing local merchants, in
building a house for yourself, in
investing in real estate, in dress
ing better and living better and
feeling better, the more will you
be able to have and lo enjoy these
things.
Why make Ihe fatal error of
hurting your town instead of
helping it, of diminishing your
town instead of enlarging it, of
damaging your town instead of
improving it, since you cannot
hurt or hinder your town with
out hurling and hindering your
self?. ... , ...
Why leach your children that
Ihe city is Ihe place to trade and
expect lo l each I hem that it is
not Ihe place to go? Why con
stantly encourage them, when
lliey marry, lo leave the home
town ami settle in some larger
place? Why be Ihe hand lo break
home lies, lo separate yourself
from your children?
The more you spend at home
the more attractive will your I own
be to the coming generation ami
the more pleasant lo yourself in
your old age. If you have friends,
here is where lliey are. When you
make a rover of your money you
make rovers of your children and
of yourself. You make your I own
a poorer place in which to live
instead of a belter one.
The money we earn let us spend
in securing the largest return for
it. If you send your children
away they may never return. If
you send your money away it may
never come back. Your prosper
ity, your happiness, your chil
dren, are likely to follow your
money wherever it goes. Why
not spend it where your children
will grow up with it, where it will
do you the most good now and
give you Ihe most comfort in the
future?

to Denver.
From Wednesday's Dally.
Mr. and Mrs. George Lusch
insky, who have been visiting in
Denver for Ihe past week, return
ed home yesterday evening. The
I rip was n combined one of hoi h
business and pleasure, for while
they were visiting' with Mr.
Luschinsky's brother, George was
attending the convention of the
Master Car Painlers, that was be
ing held in thai cily last week,

shops. It was a very interesting
and profitable meeting, as there

from every railroad syslem in the
land where Ihe association had
membership. All were enlilled to
representation in Ibis convention,
I here being something like 250
master car painters present,
which meant a total of 250 shops.
There were many points taken up
by the meeting, some of the mem
bers advancing numerous new
ideas of Ihe line of work as the
changes were taking place in
their departments, one of which
was Ihe handling of the new steel
car thai is so rapidly taking Ihe
place of the old wooden structure
in the east, and will soon be in
general use over all systems.
George says the vacation was
sure one of much pleasure and
profit lo him, and returns noine
