Our Wishes Well Expressed In Verse—Please Take Heed.

The Star City, Ind., News contains a poem from tire pen of “Doc” Needham, the dentist-editor, appealing to everybody to constitute themselves ex-office reporters on his staff. The same thing holds good in Rensselaer and by following thfe advice from the hand that wields the forcepts and the pen iwfth equal skill, The Republican can get a still firmer grip upon the claim of printing all the news. The verses are: When you have a little Item, SEND IT IN There is no time like the present to begin; We’ll appreciate it too— Just like we always do— If you’ll promptly sent your little items In. When you hear that something's happened MAIL IT IN-r-It will only take two pennies worth of tin; TouTl feel better every day All along tile’s rugged way, If you’ll think about the printer, so begin. * If you know of any new£ note PHONE IT INTt will make us smile from forehead down to chin; It will drive away the blues When your neighbor reads the news, So phone your local paper, phone It _—jjj- . , ■ ■ ■ - < ' ■ When you hear of some occurrence STEP RIOHT INWe .will greet you with a “howdy,” and a grin: For wc like to print the news And ’twill save our only shoes If we don’t have to chase the items in.
