H n-malnml for an Incident of one day lust week to cauae me to think of the many component parte entering Into the making of a new*paper... the ewlrl of a passing automobile caught up a page out of a pa|wr which lay In the roadway...It was carried along a few foot and watted to the aide of the road where It quickly bocamo sodden in the water and slush of the gutter... something about the Incident sparked a train of thought that led mo far afield and to the conclusion that this pheet of paper* laying us a drunken man In the ditch, was the Ignominious end of the collaboration of hundreds -yea thousands? of different people... I thought of the spruce and pine trees In Maine. In northern New York, in Wisconsin and in Canada. . . of tho lumber Jacks who fell them, and of the teams and tractors that haul them to adjacent streams... and the rtvormon who pilot them oil tho Spring freshets to thh mills where they are converted into pulp and later Into news print In (.tie same or some other plant...the tractors In the woods and enormous pulp and paper-making machines all required skllhsl engineers and craftsmen to manufacture them...I followed In my thoughts the transportation by train or truck of the paper in rolls or sheets from the mill to the paper merchant's warehouse or direct to the newspaper, with another coterie of men involved in tho process- . and thus wo have the white sheet which Is the foundation of a newspaper. Next I envisioned the editorial rooms of a daily newspaper with a multitude of employees from the managing <slltor down to itho copy boy, each and cvecvoUc working under tho stress of meeting the deadline on tho first edition... rewrite men In booths are scribbling down notes of a teleI phone call from a reporter at the I scene of a flro or accident, the clack of the typewriters vies with tho staccato notes of the teletypes, copy 1m?.vh are hurrying completed stories from 'he writers to the different editors to be blue penciled of verbiage or approved "as Is"... the headwrttors have their fling and off the copy goes to the composing room where it Is rapidly eaten u.p by the battery of typesetting machines... tho teletype machines bring In thousands upon thousands of words from all parts of the world, assembled and distributed by press associations and news gathering agencies... from tho teletype sheets the editors select In accordance with their comprehension of reader Interest In their particular field... a ten Hue ftem from Singapore may I have l>een editorially handled by a dozen people before it became a part of your newspaper.. .closely associated with tho editorial part qf a newspaper Is the engraving or picture department... this Includes the camera men and the engravers who convert the pictures Into the zinc or copper i plates from which the pictures are reproduced in th? paper... there Is still another department without which no newspaper could long exist and this is the advertising department, with Us* managers, solicitors and layout tneu Tho mechanical part of a newspaper has ever been to me the most Interesting...it is here that the largest number of people cooperate in making the newspaper... the typesetting machines are almost human in their accomplishments, and here again my thoughts rumbled to the many activities involved not only In these machines hut hack of them..I thought of the lend mines and of the conversion of the ore Into the refined metal.

The head-ofthe-house chose to drive tho car. Sho ranks ace-high as a fast and safe speed 1st. Everything went along smoothly until an old rooster decided to fly across the road In front of us. We were making 70 m. p. h. The rooster was possibly hitting 'em around 4". He and we came Into sudden contact. His body tore away our license tag holder, knocked one headlight into kingdom-come ($4.10), and removed about 5 square Inches of paint from our right fender. But our car picked him clear and clean, and dressed him for the pot and left his remains In such shape as to bo used for hash without further ado. Our next trouble came when a rear-door flew open and broke the holder and bent the hinges ($3.75). ?Wo spent the first night In northern Florida where we shlvvered from sold just as much as wo did at home. We found good roads.Soma were full of Jazz and swing, humps and bumps, upheavals and depressions, cows and calves (always trying to graze In the middle of the highway where the cement or tar Is thickest), pigs and shoats, trucks and buses, slowipokes and sensible-drivers. Many travelers are wondering when Georgia and Florida will pass a fence law and require owners to keep -their live-stock .off the thorough-fares. We drove on till we choked down in front of our "home-base" Sabbath afternoon at Ave o'clock... in South Central Florida, a paradise for folks with money and Idleness on their hands who desire to loaf away from home.

The poor labor leaders seem to have so much ready that it is difficult for them to find anything nice enough for them. ?-Florida cultivates thre<* great crops a year, namely: fruits, tourists and vegetables?the second named being tin- most profitable.

The structure, which had been used as a classroom building by the Georgia Military college, was wrecked by the flames, origin of which was-not determined. No one was in the building at the time. The flames burned out the interior of the building despite work of the Milledgeville fire department, aided by apparatus from the State hospital. The building was constructed In 1817. No one was reported killed or injured. One flro truck and five firemen were rushed here from Macon, about 35 miles away, to help keep the flames in check, while help from other communities was ex-pocted. The wind was not high but the firefighters did not want the fire to spread to a nearby barracks building, which normally houses about 300 cadets, or a gymnasium building. Neither was reported in immediate) danger. The old capltol building has been j used during the last t>2 years as the ; administration building for the school. I The Milledgeville chapter of the] United Daughters of the Confederacy I lias been raising funds to restore a cupola of the building destroyed by fire some years ago. The fire was first observed 'by a clerk in a hotel across the street from the G-MC campus. He turned in the alarm, but by the time firemen could reach the scene the building was enveloped in flames.
