Sounds simple. But you‘ve no idea how difficult it is being a director in your old home town. The trouble is, almost everybody is a director. They‘re all unpaid, like me, but they have a stake in the paper. Somehow, I‘d rather have it that way. The only time I smoke & cigar is when someone has a baby. And our problems are more human. They‘re things like, ‘"How are we going to keep the frazâ€" matogal working on the linotype machine?" Or, "The trout are scarcer than hen‘s teeth this spring." But I guess I‘m nobody and the prestige attached to my name is somewhere below zero.

And here and there, about as numerous as the Whiteâ€"Footed Beagleâ€"Breasted Thory Pink Ow!l, there are the directors who say, ‘‘You‘re putting out a good paâ€" per; keep it up.‘" These you try to stuff, mount and put up in front of the building. But they often object. But it‘s worth it, to revisit the old town. This week, I met an old buddy with two broken ribs, in considerable pain. He cracked one mb in a fall, and I was too polite to ask how he did it. Got it all strapped up by the doc. His wife sleeps on the inside of the bed, next the wall. She had to go to the bathroom. Bathroom, he would not be in m:'t shape today. "I know," I said, "she put her elbow in your ribs, climbing over you." He replied, grunting with agony: ‘"Elbow be damned. She put both hands, backed by her 138 pounds on my ribs. I had one cracked rib. Now I have two broâ€" California or Mexico.
