The following from an exchange is
both truthful and pointed. You may
be able to get large city weekly
filed with accounts of murder, scan
dial cases. cock fights. ETC., for the
same money you get your home paper
for, but those city weeklies do not adj.
vertise your county and make your
property valuable. They do not help
alongyour schools and churches; they
do not publish your county news; they
say nothing of you and your town and
have no interest in you. A good
newsy paper is as much advantage
to a town or county as are good
schools. Stand by your home papers,
for they always stand by you, andare
ever on the lookout for your interest.

Doyle, and her father was the prosecutor.
She was said to be a dissipated character,
and her father desired that she be sent to the
House Of the Good Shepherd, which was
done. When the girl was taken back the
father turned to policemen and told the
following story:

promises to pay them $50 If they will go to
Marinette for ten days. this man gets $95
for every girl he secures, and when the girls
get there they are told they are $50 in debt
SOS for the commission and the balance for
their railroad fare, etc. Then their clothes
are taken from them and they arc put in
short dresses. All letters which leave the
place are examined by manager and de-
stroyed or sent as desired About the

none of the girls can escape ex-
