street, place, or resort, any to.
bacco in any form whatsoever.
Any such person violating the
provisions of this section shall he
fined not more than 81 for each

The one speech opposing the
bill was made by Mr.. Graves, Of
Litchfeld. He said he appeared
for the boys. Before makingany
legislation of the kind. he said :

Pleasant Paragraphs.

The average journalist has a
tender spot in his composition

for his patrons and friends when
he has aan opportunity. In the
course of each recurring year he
manages, when noting the hopes,
aims and doings Of these patrons
and friends, to work into his jour
nal graceful and often helpful lit

charge is ever made, and which
sometimes the parties spoken OF
fail to see, or what is worse, fail
to gratefully remember-N d.

Yes, this is one of the advan-
tages of patronizing the ''home
press" But many people fail to
look att in this light. They ap-
parently lose sight of thefact that
their home paper is working in
season and out Of season for the
upbuilding of the community in
which 1t is published, and that in
various ways itisconstantly con-
tributing to the prosperity of its
patrons in the manner above
spoken OF. The home paper not
only does a great deal OF gratu-
itous work. but much that is lost
sight OF altogether, or worse, is
unappreciated inmany instances.
