Rules for Country Correspondents
One of the most valuable assets a
country weekly can have is that co-operation
from clever and energetic county
correspondents. The news of the county
should be covered by a good correspon
dent in every community. The brief,
newsy letters from the rural centers are
the making of a country weekly.
The Glacier feel like congratulating
itself on the list of good, live news gath
erers, who each week fill many columns
with readable news of local happenings.
A far as the real gathering of the news
is concerned there could be no great im
provement. However, there are some
few, simple rules that could be followed
benefically If country correspondents
will observe the following, the page of
country items will be more attractive
and can be set by The Glacier without
innumerable annoyances that sometimes
arise when the rules are not observed.
Always secure, where possible, Initials
of persors. Don't eay Mrs. Smith and
daughters visited Mrs. Brown and fam
ily. If it is Mrs John Smith or Mrs. A.
A. Smith, designate them by their
proper initials or given name.
Always give definite dates.
Do not nse abbreviations, except in
case of given names.
In case of a fire, give cause, total dam
age and insurance, if any.
Remember The Glacier sets country
correspondents on Tuesdays. Endeavor
to mail your letter, so that it will reach
the office by Tuesday morning. Wed
nesday is reserved for the setting of the
news happenings gathered in the local
office, ana if the country correspondence
piles up on Wednesday, the office force
is badly hampered. A little co-operation
on the part of the country corre
spondents will in many cases prevent
late hours for the office force on Wed
nesdays. If any important news happening
breaks in your community after your
letter has been mailed, you may reach
the office by telephone, or you may mail
another letter, that is, if it will be possi
ble for it to reach the office on Wednes
day. Don't hesitate to ask the office for
suggestions.
If you are out of stationery, notify
the office. In case it is not received im
mediately, send in another call. It may
t possible that your first letter was
misplaced.
Remember that your are in charge of
one of the most beneficial mediums in
your community. The Glacier appreci
ates your work ai well as your fellow
residents, whose weekly comings and
goings you chronicle.
The most important rale is that con
cerning promptness of getting yqnr let
ter to the office oa lauds?,

You Have Power to Spare in the
IT SIX
$875
THE GRANT SIX has one horse power for each
1 10 pounds of car weight. No other six in its
price class can make such a showing. No wonder
the GRANT SIX averages 20 miles to a gallon of
gasoline and 900 miles or more to a gallon of oil.
No wonder that 7000 miles or more are obtained
from standard tires. -
With the light weight, high powered Grant Six, you
can climb hills and pull through sand and mud which
would stall many other cars. The sturdy Grant Six is
built to last. In every part of the country the Grant Six
has made a name for itself as a car of utmost dependability
and continuous service.
When you pay $875 for the Grant Six you buy as
much of service and performance as you get in any car up
to $1000 to $1 100. Over 20,000 people will buy Grant
Sixes this year and if you're wise you 11 be one of them.
