It isn't new that newspapers are filled with material other than news. A price change in beans or over A simple answer would be that alls or mutton chops is news and news is whatever is new. newspapers publish such things. A better mousetrap is news or a high tailed car was news once. And readers find out such things by reading newspapers. If Bumstead wins an argument it is also news. But newspapers do more than that. They publish ideas or the information from which ideas may be obtained. You see, we think that ideas are very personal things and grow in a head from something that goes into that head usually through the eyes and reading news papers is the most common way of getting the information that can gTow into ideas. There is a lot of valuable information that is not new although it might be new to someone. Putting such things be Compiled by O.S.C •Ai «n» ¡an speci liu ti in economie Information points out If industrialization is the solution for more jobs, are Oregonians prepared to face the community problems that usually come with such expansion?

Hot Iron Tips Brands are read from left to right from the top down, or from outside In. A definite method of identifying characters has been established. If a letter or symbol Is made backwards from its nor mal position, it’s read as a “ re verse". A letter laying horizontally on its face or back is said to be “ lazy" while the same letter partially over on its face or back is said to be “ tumbling” . In the cattle industry’s Infant days, ranchers used large, out- sized irons that nearly covered the animal’s side. When cattle hides began to bring a good price, the smaller, carefully forged stamping iron was ushered In. Legibility of an insignia de pends a great deal on the cowboy applying it.The cipher Is applied with a grey-hot iron, about the color of the branding fire ashes. A red-hot metal produces an over-burned brand, often resulting in sores which may become infect ed, in addition to smudging the print itself. Though Oregon cowboys may consider it a gross indignity, they are also graded on their confi dence—or fearful attitude—to ward cattle while brand inspect ing. fore readers in a form they are ac customed to and can understand is what newspapers do and whether it is news or history or information it can and does contribute to the manufacture of ideas. And that is valuable, very much so. The Sherman County Journal endeavors to supply its share of such material to its readers.
