.   Where Do You Stand?
The business man who fails to patronize his home paper is deliberately putting himself in the same class with the
customer who sends.his money away to
the mail order houies without letting
his home merchant get a chance at his
business.  .
If you have a paper in your town,
give it some business. If you haven't
one, and the town is large enough to
support one, get the business men together, find some capable newspaper
mac, and start a paper. If your paper
isn't as good as the town deserves, get
into touch and harmony with its publisher, through the medium of the business you give him, ahd help make the
paper what it should.be. Newspaper
men are just as ambitious, just as energetic and just as capable as any other
class of business men: You will find,
as a rule, that your .publisher will be
glad to work with you in any undertak-,
ing that will help your town and community, because he knows, just as well
as you do, that the more enterprising
the community the better will it be for
his business as well as for yours, so
you, Mr. Retail Merchant, have interests very much in common with those of
the publisher of your home paper. The
trouble 'is that ma]ybe you haven't
thought of it in that light
If you have been in the habit of looking with contempt upon your'home paper and its publisher, stop it. You are
wrong. Even if the paper isn't deserving of much praise; even if the
publisher is not as progressive as he
should be, your duty does not lie in criticism. It does lie in helpfulness, in
patronage and co-operation.
The paper stands right with the
church and schools as civilizing and
educational factors. There are good
schools, and- schools that are not as
good as they should be; there are live
churches, and churches that seem dormant, so there are papers that are
right up to the notch, and papers that
need spurring to enable them to exercise the influence they can be made to
exercise, and it is up to the business
men of the community to apply the
spur." By^Ke^same ibTcen,''one" of the
most effective spurs is to give the paper
your business.
You know, Mr. Business Man, just
how you feel when you find that one of
the people in your town has sent his
money to a mail order house for goods,
that you know you could have furnished
him at the same price? Well, that is
just how the publisher of your local
paper feels when you continually refuse to spend some money, with him for
advertising.. A newspaper, to a certain
extent, has a valuable commodity to
sell—advertising; but it also does for
its community through general publicity a good so vast, and of such a nature
that it cannot be calculated in dollars
and cents, and in that particular, and to
that degree, it is a public service agency, and therefore deserving of every
consideration, every help, and all the;
business the local business man can;
give it. -^Retail Lumberman.
One day last week while Mr. John'
Pollock was working in the field a rabbit
ran in front of him and stopped. Mr.
Pollock, having no other weapon with
him opened his pocket knife and threw
it into the rabbit's back, Brer Rabbit
then thought it was time to move and
made a bee line for the briar patch,
carrying the knife with him. Mr. Pollock looked in vain for his knife but
Brer Rabbit was too quick for him.—

Excerpts From a Letter Written by El-
roy Briggs to His Mother.
The first of the excursions come tomorrow. There are already over 200
excursions booked at the hotel, and
they are turning applications away.
The Del Monte has twenty five-passenger autos, all Stephens and Win-
tons, with three exceptions.
I have-had my car overhauled and
painted and shall' drive that when the
rush begins, instead of the Winton I
am now using.
It has rained a great deal but is not
so cold as when we first carne; the
rainy season is nearly over. In the
mountains there are ten feet of snow.    .
The editors seemed' to think auto
trip news would interest their readers,
as the story of our trip was published
in the Battle Creek Daily Moon, in the
San Francisco Examiner and in the
paper here at Monterey.
Tell Lawrence he could not get a
driving job here, as one has to/ be
twenty to get a license to drive in this
state. The preference seems to be for
older men; only two of the Del Monte
passenger drivers are younger than I,
and several are grey haired.
We had a hard storm Wednesday
night, driving three steamers into the
harbor.
The general opinion here is that it is
only a question of time till Japan will
pick a fuss with the United States.
There seems to be no ill will against
the Chinese. The government recently mined the harbor here. There is a
regiment of Cavalry at the Presido.
One day in March 12S coaches of ex:
cursionists are coming to Del Monte
(over 3,000). all of them to go around
the seventeen mile drive and many to
take the drive aud boulevard (-10
miles).
I saw by the Observer that some one
from Pacific Grove was visiting at
Frank Olds'. Pacific Grove is a suburb of Monterey, as is also Del Monte,
Carmel and Seaside.
