'the othem are becoming leaa poten
tml each year. The "home applicant"
ia very often a nerioua trouble to
achool board* and the application of
the principle of preference to the
home applicant without regard to
qualifications has sometimes, very of-
ten indeed, cost dearly. That the
home applicant, all things being equal
should be given the preference can
not be questioned but the fact that
the applicant lives in the home, town
does not wholly qualify him for the
position. There comes a time when
the town or city school should cease
to be a training school for teachers,
which they are too often made be-
cause of the desire to favor the resi
dent of the town, either the applicant
or her friends. Nevertheless the fact
that one does live in the town or may
not have had much experience should
be no bar to her being considered.
Individuality counts for something
and should be considered. We re-
call one instance right here in Cush-
ing, where a.young lady, a home girl
without experience, proved to be one
of the best primary teachers the
schools ever had. We have had ex-
perience enough to know that it is
hard to turn down the home teacher,
but, for the good of the school it
sometimes has to be done.
But, in this matter of employing
teachers, as in others perhaps the
question of salary is the most influ-
ential, and it is a troublesome one.
There has always been a tendency to
pay the teacher as little as possible.
It is a fact that good -eachers have
been the poorest paid of wage earn
ers, although of late years there has
been some tendency to ^o them jus-
tice.
There is an economy that is false
and an economy that is true. The
later often demands the larger im-
mediate expenditure and, in no busi-
ness is this more* often true than in
school work. "A poor teacher is
dear at any price." But it is often a
question of how much the district"can
pay" and not of "how much it will
pay." This is especially true of
Cushing. The rapid growth of the
city, multiplying and remultiplying
the demands of the school, has taxed
the resources of the* district to the
utmost. Yet we believe it would be
a disastrous policy to employ teach-
ers just because they are asking low-
er wages than those who have been
tried and found worthy. In this, aa in
avery other line, we must meet compe-
tition. Other places are willing to
by using patent* inside. Size alone
does not constitute a good newspaper
and by cuttihg dut the "patent" you
will not only win more subscribers
but will also win the respect of those
you have.
Do not be anhamed of your little four
pager if that is all the news and ad
vertising patronage that your com
munity can use. You will be ahead
the postage and have more friends
and sleep better. Besides you will
work up to a real eight pages the
more quickly. Don't try to fool the
people any longer. They are
and only laugh at your efforts to
swell up and look big. They know
you are only padding and don't ad
mire the padding. In addition you
will be better prepared, to meet St.

ADVKKTISIN G—S lT R P RISIN U
We are not much for blowing our
own horn but we sometimes can not
help expressing our joy and permit-
ting others to share it with us and
at the same time exemplify the
truth of our oft repeated statement
—"advertising pays."
For the past three years, owing to
the "rush" in city affairs, the inaugur-
ation of a daily issue and the effort
reqiured to permanently establish it
together with the physical condition
of the publisher our weekly paper
had been neglected. o
Now that the Daily Citizen is firm-
ly established and other conditions
improved, we determined to "rebuild"
our weekly edition, to return to our
first love.
As we had been preaching advertis
ising as a remedy for the ills of other
businesses, we decided to take a dose
of our own medicine. So last week
we began this work and put out an
axtra both in number and quality,
the latter being part of the advertis-
ing of our own business. In this is-
sue we also used other methods of
advertising. The results have been
nore than pleasing, they have been
surprising.

The main idea in starting these ac-
•ounts is to cause the saving of funds
iccessary for Christmas over a long
period of time so that the saving will
"Ot be felt and yet give the saver
he ready money for Christmas. An
official of the bank, estimates that
under this plan that they will send out
to depositors out of this fund a large
•mm of money just about two weeks
icfore Christmas thus helping both
the merchants and the buyers and
helping to cut down the number of
charge purchases made for Christ-
mas.
All who enter should do so during
he week of March 13th. Each de-
posit due on Monday may be paid any-
time during that week. The bank
hopes to get at least 1,000 who will
ry this novel scheme this year.
Whilj this is the first time it has
ever been tried in this city, it has
been worked in banks of other cities
with wonderful success. !
