SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1947.
TO THE WINGS OF HOWARD.

the "BooN's LICK TIMES" The accession
of new subscribers during the past year
has been large, fully equalng. our most
sanguine expectations. The forthcoming
year bids fair to be productive of still
more gratifying results, and we have made
up our minds that it shall be no fault of
ours if our business and list of subscribers
is not greatly increased.
There never was a time when the in.
ducements to subscribe were greater than
at present. In addition to the many i'm.
portant events constantly transpiring in the
great world, the war with Mexico will
furnish news and topics of stirring interest.
We are, on the eve, too, of an exciting
political campaign when party measures
will be again canvassed, party forces raj
lied and every nerve strained by both sides
to come out of the contest triumphantly.
In such a crisis it behooves every Wing
to buckle on his armor and stand by the
interests of the State and country that
have been so shamefully sacrificed by the
party in power. In Howard especially
every genuine friend Of correct principles
should volunteer for the war. There are
few counties in the State whose interests
are more nearly concerned in the triumph
of Wing principles, and none where the
opposition is more powerful or uncompro.
missing. Every mechanic and laborer who
earns his bread by the sweat of his brow
every farmer who desires that best of all
benefts-a home market-every merchant
and business man whose interest it is TO
see times brisk and trade flourish is per-
sonally concerned. Locofocoism is at war
with their interests. Its measures are CAL
culated to impoverish the country-to rem
der the poor poorer-the times duller-
labor scarcer--wages !ower-money less
abundant. The people know this-ihey
see it-they feel that the country is going
down hill and that the tide Of our pros
perity has turned with the repeal of the
Tariff Of 1912. But though demagoguesm
has triumphed, the people should not de-
spond.
Of all the means calculated to advance
the Wing cause, there is none that will be
more likely to prove effective than the
circulation of Wing newspapers. The vo.
tiers in this county have hitherto been look
ing too much at one side Of the question.
The misslatemenls and misrepresentation
weekly doled out 10 them by the Missouri
Democrat and other kindred prints, are
the Alpha and Omega-the beginning ard
the end, of their political researches. 1t
is important, therefore, that our friends
should take measures to undeceive them, by
placing in their hands from time 10 time
the papers on our side. 1t is duty which
the Wings owe TO their principles to be
active in their diffusion. As a means of
doing this every Wing who can possibly
afford it land there are none who can'D
should take the Wing county paper In
dependent of the political good that would
be accomplished by such course, they
would be greatly the gamers SO far as their
PIis'iio iltCiCSt5 arc CoHCclcu. IL is wen
said by a contemporary that "a newspaper
taken in family sheds CLEAN of in,ei.
gence around 1t gives the children a
taste for reading; it communicates all the
important events in the busy world; it is
a never-failing source of amusement; and
furnishes fund of instruction which will
never be exhausted. Every family, how
ever poor, if they wish to hold a rlace in
the rank of intelligent beings, should take
a newspaper. And the man possessed of
property sufficient TO make himself easy
fer life, surrounded by children eager for
knowledge, instiga,ed by the vile spirit of
cupidity, who neglects TO subscribe for a
newspaper, is deficient in the duties of a
parent or good citizen, and is deserving
the censure of his intelligent neighbors."
The subscription price of the TINES
will continue as heretofore, 50 per annum
payable in advance, or SO if not paid until
after the year has expired.
For the benefit of those who have hith.
erto been deferred from taking the paper
on account of the price, we will send the
TINES TO clubs during the coming year at
the following rates:
3 COPIES for FIVE DOLLARS, Cash.
z COPIES for TEN DOLLARS, h"
