populares dejan mucho que desear, y
que por desdicha no es ca elias ell ma

Henry Ward Beecher once said:
''In the United States every worthy
citizen reads a newspaper and owns
the paper which he reads. A news
paper is window through which
men look out on all that is going on
in the world. Without newspaper
a man is shut up in small room
and knows little or nothing of what
is happening outside of himself. In
our day newspapers keep pace with
history and record it. A good news.
paper will keep sensible men in sym
pathy with the worlds current his

clopedia-an unbound book forever

can be no chance of misunderstood
ing, that am not guilty taking the
lives of any of the Pietzel family
