had the wrong idea in regard to what we wanted, and we are going to tell them just what we want and what we don't want. We want all local news, give the party's name, where they live, where they came from if they are out of town visitors, what day they came, making it as clear as possible. Last week we received a local which mentioned that a number of girls had gone on a pleasure trip, not stating where this trip was, so it was impossigle to use this matter. One little girl came into the office with some poetry and a bunch of jokes, we could not use this kind of matter, so had to turn it down, no doubt hurting her feelings. The boys and girls have taken great interest in this local work and there are some fine local writers contributing every week.

We appreciate the fact that they are taking interest and wish that we could give to each a prize other than the pennies for each local.
