PRAISE FOR SMALL TOWN PRESS
National advertisers are becoming more and more
convinced of the value of the small town press as a med
ium for reaching the public with their sales messages.
Among those who have been “sold” on the importance
of the live small town newspaper is Alfred P. Sloan, Jiv
president of General Motors Corporation, who recently
paid them this tribute:
“I believe in the small town newspaper. I believe
that no printed matter in the United States is more thor
oughly read, or has more influence than the pages of these
home town newspapers.”
That Mr. Sloan’s expression is not merely a pleasing
compliment is evidenced by the fact that General Motors
is rapidly extending its advertising to the small town
newspapers of the country.
ONE EYE ON THE JOB
That a wage-earner, whether a laborer or industrial
executive, should seek through any legitimate means to
better his condition is entirely commendable. But too
many seek for such betterment in distant fields, when the
real opportunity lies in the present job.
Every employer has to deal with the fellow who no
sooner gets located in a position than he begins to look for
something better elsewhere. He has one eye on his pres
ent job and the other on a new one.
In a majority of cases, particularly if one is working
for a sound and reputable concern, an employe would be |
far better off to concentrate his thoughts and energies on I
the work he is doing, instead of watching the “help want-1
ed” advertisements.
No intelligent employer wants to lose a man who!
shows efficiency in his work and loyalty to his concern.!
The rewards of such efficiency and loyalty will generally!
be in keeping with the employe’s merit..
But when an employer knows that an employe is con
tinually looking for another position, it is taken as evi
dence that only half-hearted service is being rendered,
and the employer begins to look for someone to take his
place. The fellow who keeps both eyes on his job usually
profits most in the long run.
If only those clams, discovered 50 miles inland from
the Pacific coast and alleged to be a million years old,
could talk. Perhaps they are like some very old eggs we
have met.
Evans Woollen of Indiana is suggested as the Demo

Mocking the name of the town of Waterproof, La.,

Brave telephone girls mounted on temporary scaffolding

Perhaps the most novel method that has been adopted
for raising funds for flood sufferers was that of A1 Lan
ders and Frank Polkington, seniors at the Peoria, 111.*
High school. Bending over, they allowed any who de
sired to hit them with a broad paddle at 5c a whack, re
ceiving in all 80 blows, giving the $4.00 thus obtained for
the good cause.
MANY COSTLY GEMS !
STOLEN FROM HOME j
OE JESSE LIVERMORE;
ROBBERS PLANNED THEFT YEAR
IN ADVANCE IS BELIEF EX- !
PRESSED
NEW YORK, June 8. (/P)—The,
country home of Jesse Livermore the
noted Well Street operator, at Great
Neck, Long Island, was robbed late
Saturday night of jewelry worth
more than $100,000. Two burglars
with the aid of a ladder climbed in
an upstairs room that was occupied
by Harry Shoneshon and his wife
who were guests of the house. After
robbing them of $20,000 of jewels,
the burglars locked them in the room!
and moved into the suite of Mr. and
Mrs. Livermore. At the pistol point
they took pearl necklace and rings
worth $80,000, but Mrs. Livermore
joked with them and induced them to
give back some trinkets of sentimen
tal value. As they filed down the
ladder, they leveled a revolver at
Mrs. Livermore and compelled her
to hold the top of the ladder for
them.
NO TRACE OF BURGLARS
NEW YORK, June S. (/P)—Jesse
Livermore said today that he was
convinced from conversation that the
robbers who looted his home of
$100,000 in jewels had planned the
robbery for more than a year and
that the robbers numbered five, one
o! whom was a woman. No trace of
the burglars have been found.
