HOW WE GET THE NEWS
Day before yesterday a perfectly nice lady called us up and with tears in her voice
reproved us for not mentioning the fact that she had had a friend visiting her last week.
We told her that she had not let us know anything about it and that therefore, we did
not know that she had a visitor. Then sh3 said, "Well you should have known. I
thought you were running a newspaper." Wouldn't that rattle your slats? Some
people think that an editor ought to be a cross between Argus and Anna Eva Fay.
They seem to think that our five senses are augmented by a sixth that lets us know
everything that happens, even if we see, hear, feel, taste or smell it not. Dear lady,
editors are only human or at least, almost human. If you have a friend visiting you,
if you are going away, or have returned from a visit out of town, if Johnnie falls and
breaks his arm, if your husband chops his toe instead of a stick of wood, if anything
happens that makes you glad, or sad, happy, or mad, call us up. Tell us about it.
That's the way to get it in the paper.
SCORE 8 TO 9
Saturday the Sparks ball team
came up for a game on the dia-

port went ahead one score, but
in the eighth they vied again,
playing shut out ball until the
lasthilfof the eleventh, when
Sparks got the winning run

Sparks 211 001 030 01-!)
