An unmarried publisher has little use for the trade half of the payment he received from the advertising milliner.

No editor can appear in public wearing a gorgeously flowered hat of the type known as "buzzard," and retain the respect of his subscribers.

Neither can he receive as currency, in a year when the turnip crop is unusually plentiful, more than sixty or seventy bushels of turnips in one day without having to get rid of them at a severe discount.

But, in spite of all this, T.J., by his energy and good humor, had made a success of the TIME, and his editorials advising the people not to patronize the Chicago mail-order houses, but to patronize their home merchants, were copied by his contemporaries all over the State.

One of his editorials on the prospects of the year's hog crop was quoted by the hog editor of a big Chicago daily, word for word.
These are the real triumphs of country journalism, and all over the State his paper was referred to by his brother editors as "Our enterprising contemporary, the KILO TIMES," and T.J.as "The brilliant young editor of the same." When Eliph' Hewlitt entered the printing office T.J.was standing by his case setting up an item of news.
