1.-The weekly newspapers pillow the
ground, sow the seed and cultivate the
crop, and too often are forced to step
aside, while those who neither plant MOI
cultivate reap the ripened grain. The
cause which yon advocate. the candi-
dates you support and the party you
love will be UNNECESSARILY strengthened
If each of you in return will step into
your local newspaper that is patiently
and uncomplainingly keeping alive the
spark of Democracy and pay your sub
scription year ahead. WIN.
