West May 5th to 10th ALL EDITORS ARE LIARS We overheard a man remarking! hp other Hav that the reason he did ot take the Manson paper is that all ditors are liars. While we know hat the reason that he does not take he Manson papers is that he has ead-beated both of them out of sev ral years' subscriptions, we will ad-j lit that he told the truth about all j ditors being liars. Fact is, we nev-! r told the truth about that man.! Ve always lied about him, but we; rill not lie about him this time.; ^hen he got married over 25 years gro we published in this paper that] e, was an "honest -industrious young j lan." That was a lie and we knew! .. He was a dead-beat before he j ver got married and owed for board,1 Dom and washing that he did not ay then and has never paid since. | [e owed for chewing tobacco, cloth- j lg and anything he could get trust-j d for and has never paid the debt, [e was aot industrious, but was no xiously lazy, a hulking lout and >afer who would not work if he ould possibly get out of it, and then rhen forced into work he was a shirk nd a sneak always trying to put the leaviest work on his companions.

He ever owned a home of his own, and oes not own one now, but he has to ay his rent in advance every month Ve said his wife was a "handsome rid accomplished young lady." This ras several lies. She was homlier han the back end of the building hat front on Main street in Manson, Dwa, she had no accomplishments, xcept to chew gum and talk slang; he was young, but she was not a idy as she had a pretty shady repu ation. When her father died we, old another lie, for we said the old lan was a prominent and highly re-! pected citizen, when he was a notor-, dus chicken, coal and horse leecij hief and every one hated him and! irould have been glad when he died j iad it not been for the fact that the ounty had to bury him.

Noted Clown to Delight Children at the Chautauqua An amusing entertainment given by Hughie Fitzpatrick, popular clown, will be one of three unique programs for children to be given at the coming Red path Chautauqua. These special children's programs are distinct innovations inaugurated HUGH IE FIT2PATRICK ment, and Hughie Fitzpatrick, appeal ing on the fourth morning with his marvelous feats of tumbling, his jokes and fun, will make a tremendous hit. Stephani Schutze, "wizard teller-of tales," will give a great entertainment for the youngsters on the third morn ing, and on the fifth morning Bernice Van, capital impersonator and enter tainer, will give an equally delightful program. One herring will produce 30,000 eggs a year. U. s. IS BOSS PRINTER AMONG THE NATIONS S The Government Printing Office is j essentially a manufacturing plant?j the largest of its kind in the world, | says George H Carter, Public Printer. I in his annual report for the fiscal j year 1921. Not only is it a vast print- ' ing and binding establishment, but JI included in and necessarily a part of Jl it are extensive electrical, engineer-11 ing, machine and carpenter shops, ink j anl carbon-paper mills, metal room, a|j large heating lighting, and power jj plant, and the great distribution, j sales, and cataloguing forces of thej Superintendent of Documents. These'i activities, filling more than fourteen,! acres of floor space, should be treat-Jj ed as a big business proposition, free from all partisan bias and selfish in-; terests, declares the report. The value of the finished product;! turned out by the Government Print- j ing Office during the year was $12,-;' 876,362, an increase of $286,791 I over the preceding year, thus estafo-J lishing a new record for the plant,' 1 t'Vio -fnrmpr npnlc hein?? $12,774,712 I for the fiscal year 1919, which in- | eluded a large amount of war work, j Included in the production for ^he j year were 1,272,345,752 postal cards j while the current publications print- j ed during practically the entire year | were as follows: Dailies, 4; weeklies:| 20; monthlies, 29, in addition to the i regular quarterly, semi-annual and|| yearly re-ports. The number of copies |j of these publications varied from 75 j to 235,000. j The report points out that 1921 j was the first year in which the official ! Postal Guide was printed by the!j Government Printing Office, the work ji previously having been done by a;, private establshment. Owir.g t> this fact, it was founl possible : ) rodu'ic ij the subscription rare for the bebni? J volume from-$1.50 to $1, and for the monthly supplements from 75 cents I to 50 cents. Emphasis is also laid I on the improvements effected in > the printing and distribution of j the daily Cbngressional iRecord. The practice of holding up the is- j sue of The Record, so that indi vidual members of Congress might have included in it speeches of "extensions of remarks," the copy for which they delayed sending in on time, as discontinued, with the j result that the enitre> edition of j 32,500 copies was in the mails by 7:45 every morning that Congress was in session.
