enforced houday5 sickness took its toll at the heralld office last weekend when the editor and the junior member of the staff were both absent for the latter part of the week fortunately everyone was back to work on monday morning and once again you have the herald on wednesday evening some of our readers still seem to think hat some prtcyerse spirit is deliberately trying to keep them from reading the news at the accustomed time on v ed nesday all we can say is that we are trying our best to get it out on time and with a contemplated addition to the staff next month we may surprise you and have it out really early one of these weeks meanwhile we ask your indulgence and hope that you may enjoy read jng the news on thursday we try to keep the herald interesting and newsy some weeks that isn t so easy because even in a busy town like georretown there are weeks when nothing seems to happen and we can t just manufacture news lately we have been trying to run more local pictures we can t fill our paper with them because these all cost money a little one column cut costs in the neighbourhood of 2 00 and larger ones corrcs pondingly more how pictures are made the majority of readers are not familiar with how a picture is prepared for insertion in a newspaper we dont pretend to understand all the technical prepnr ations of a cut as such a pic ure is known but the following general explanation may be of interest when we receive a photograph or snapshot which we intend to run in the herald we have to send it out oftown to have a cut prepared dailv oadei and some of the larger weeklies of course have iheir own engraving plants where this work is done but such is not the case with the average weeklv newspaper the most common process is one which mate use of acids the picture is rephotographed on a zinc plate and acids burn the picture into the plate form ing a cut from which reproductions can be made on paper gasoline restrictions explained a reader draws our attention to an article in the current issue of the ontario milk producer which clears up certain questionable points on the purchase oi gasoline gasoline can be sold at any hour in cans or other
