Paper Printed By
Offset Method is
Visited by Editor
(By the Press Editor)
The G.adewater Mirror, now in
its first month of publication, and
printed by the new offset method
and claiming to be the only offset
daily printed in Texas, was visited
over the weekend by the publisher
of the Denison Press. The method
of printing a daily paper by the
offset method, a type of printing
devoted heretofore to commercial
printing, was introduced this past
year in Chicago and spread to a
few other towns during the period
of strikes by printers. As a new
method of issuing a newspaper it
carries its headaches and was
dropped hy the larger papers of
the east when, the strike was over.
Its introduction into Texas made
its first appearance at Glailewa-
ter, and to the printer and pub-
lisher with experience, ' it still
packs a lot of headaches as to
the extensive time element and
overhead cost. There is no labor
trouble in Gladewatcr, consequent
ly no excuse for trying to replace
the linotype machines and the ro-
tary press.
To the publisher who has been
accustomed to the type being set
on a line casting machine and run-
ning it off on a regulation print-

ing press, the offset way of doing
it is enough to break down the
editor’s nerve in short order. He
lives a brief enough time under the
present swift method of getting
out a paper which carries with it
a paper on the streets within an
hour after the deadline for copy
is reached.
Ilut with the offset type when
it requires much more time be-
cause of the slow method of get-
ting the copy to the printer and
then to the offset press and on
the streets, if the time element did
not slay him, the cost would. How-
ever, it seems that cost does not
mean anything to the stockholders
of the Gladewater Mirror since
there are something like 17 mil-
lionaires putting up the money,
none of them with any practical
experience in the printing and
publishing business.
They have a splendid editorial
writer, a former Denison man,
Walter Greep, who for several
years was the mill grinder on the
Denison Herald. He has surround
ed himself with a. splendid staff of
reporters, feature writers and pho-
tographers.
The photographic section of the
paper is something of which to be
proud and will take its place along
with any photogravure work on
any paper. The articles are well
written and the editorals are al-
ready being reproduced by other
papers.
Talk of erecting a half million
dollar building for the home of
the paper is in the air and could
easily be brought about with so
much capital at the finger tips. If,
however, they will equip the plant
with linecasting machines, instead
of the present arduous and costly
steps to prepare paste copy for
the page spreads for photographic
purposes, and will install a rotary
press for starting the paper roll-

‘Knights of Road’
Show Up Herein
Numbers, Stated
The knights of the road are
showing up in Denison ugain in
growing numbers, and the famil-
iar greeting heard by many liodse
wives as they answer knocks at the
back door is, “Lady, do you have
any work I can do for a little bite
to eat?"
With more emphasis on the bite
to eat than the little work, these
nomadic mendicants are distin-
guishable from, the ordinary tramp
and beggar because of their will-
ingness to work for a meal, even
if the meal comes first.
Whether or not this influx of
visitors is indicative of a reces-
sion in the near future, with all
the war time easy money vanished,
or whether it is a sign of the
good old days when every town
had its horde of these carefree
travellers, riding the rods from
town to town, sleeping in jungles,
and eating generous handouts all
along the way, is anybody’s guess.
The residents in the terminal addi-
tion report however, that as many
as thirty a day have been drop-
ping off trains in that area and
making the rounds of the terminal
addition in search of food. Some
of the residents, not anxious for
their visits, but at the same time
not wanting them to he attacked
by their vicious dogs, have gen-

Total 4,200 Officers
Transferred Over to
Inactive Reserves
AUSTIN, Tex.- -Through the re-
sult of a registered questionnaire
to the Organized Reserve Corps
officers last December, 4200 offi-
cers of the ORC will be transfer-
red in the next 15 days to the in-
active Reserve, the executive for
the Texas Military District an-
nounced here this week.
Of this figure 3,000 Reservists
are being transferred for not ans-
wering the registered letter, and
1200 are being transferred due to
their request to be placed in the
inactive reserve. With this reduc-
tion of officers there now remains
approximately 10,000 active re-
servists in the state.
The executive emphasized that
there is not a stigma attached to
membership in the inactive reserve
as the army realizes the extreme
importance of the inactive reserve
as a pool of qualified officers able
to supply the techniques of Amer-
ica’s industry in support of the
field armies in war. ft is further
realized that while many reservists
want active training they can’t ac-
cept it because their homes are
too far from training sites.

However, the deal is only a
makeshift so far with the idea of
getting out a paper when printers
are on strike. Offset work is
meant more for the higher class of
printing, catalogues, maps, but
in a pinch it can be utilized to
issue a paper until the strike is
