who want something for less than
its worth and who generally pay
more than those who start shop

The ball game between Stuart
and Valentine which was played
last Saturday resulted in a score
of 6 to 5 favor of Stuart. We're
tired making excuses for Valen
tine and will simply say that our
boys didn't play good enough.
They are so accustomed to defeat
that they wouldn't know how to
hold a few extra tallies. They
generally manage to get some
John Doe on 3rd base to throw
away the game after others have
worked hard to win a few scores ,
as it was in this case. Hey Caylor
put new vigor and enthusiasm in
the game from the time he began
to pitch and many belive that he
ought to be made pitcher perma
nently. Jf Valentine is to sufi'er
defeat continually we can better
take defeat with none but our
home men to be responsible for it.

Pay Ye the Printer ,
Some of our townspeople who ex
pected the editors to come to town
with a basket of eggs on their arms ,
a lirkin of butter and a pocket full
of rocks to blow in were disappoint
ed. The direct results are expected
: oo often by some grasping
money changers of Valentine.
These same people are foremost m
iheir requests for the home uevsr - i
papers to boom the town to get
someone here to spend money with
; hem. They will contribute to any
thing but a newspaper to get a
crowd here and refuse to dig up to
: hcm because they expect newspa
pers to do this work for nothing
jecause its their business to boom
, he town for crowds to spend mon
ey with such grasping creatures as
complain afc any return favor to
ihe newspapers. If you come or go
you want the newspaper to notice
t whether you ever pay anything
or not. If you want a Fourth of
July celebration YOU want the
icwspaper to boom for it and then
contribute as much cash as any
businessman beside. If you want
races or a carnival you expect the
newspaper to bring the crowd for
you to make money from but how
many dimes do you pay the news
papers for their work ?
If any crowd of people comes to
town for whatever purpose the
money changers who are here for
the almighty dollar and a selfish
interest only are ever ready -with
their grappling hooks to take them
in but they never think of owing
the newspapers anything for wiiat
they have done to bring the people
to town or to tell about our many
advantages. All this is expected
free because that's a newspaper's
business. Do you take the paper
brother ? Do you pay anything
for this newspaper service ? Do
you want something for nothing or
are you willing to divide fair with
the newspaper man and give a
little cash for what you get instead
of trying to exploit him as a part
of your game ? There are some
few people in Valentine who con
tribute little or nothing to news
papers yet they expect to exploit
the crowds brought to town that
others have j iid for and harvest
where they have not sown. They
were not responsible for the
crowds being here but they seek
treasure or tribute from them as
a pirate prays upon ships at their
mercy , the difference being not ; in
the principle but in the manner
of demand and the transaction ,
and being in no way responsible
feel no interest in or sympathy
for tke people if they fare not
well. Is your conscience clear ?
