THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER
The Greatest Factor There is for
 Good in the Community,

SOOu HI CEc IOE1l1HEInItys
 The average weekly editor usually has his all invested in his newspaper property, says the Atlantic Coast Lists. This in- vestment generally represents from one to two thousand dollars. But 1t is worth more to the town than five times the amount in vested in any other local enter prise. As rule, the newspaper represents to the outside world the town itself. Poor paper, poor town, is the usual verdict. It is. therefore, to the interest of every town to support good newspapers. Not through local pride alone, but for practical busine reason 8. A newspaper is constantly doing ten times as much for it's town as 1t could ever hope to get pay fOr- more than it could charge for, if 1t would. The more prosperous a paper is the more 1t Is able to do. Show us weekly paper, full of live local ads, with a general circulation throughout the coun- try, and we show you an up-to- date, prosperous, progressive community. And we will also show you a paper that is worth five times as much to that com munity every year as the editor manages to make for himself. Show us a community that per- sistently proceeds oS the idea that the editor of the home paper can live on the spi' that accumulates in the office; whose official bodies think it a waste of public money to throw him a bit of public printing occasionally at living prices; whose citizens have come to re- gard 1t as one of their inalienable rights to work him for long wind ed obituary notices and 'in memoriams," with three inches of hymn book poetry at the end, to say nothing aboutan occasion al notice of a lost COW or some cotton seed for sale, and we will show you a community that is always on the ragged edge of diversity. People ought to stop to think about these things. It is an important matter. It is their own good that is involved-the welfare and progress of their com- munity; therefore of themselves individually. A local newspaper is absolutely necessary to any 1 community. It may be that the daily papers, with their larger news service and quicker facii- ties may have overshadoWed the weeklies; but the weeklies con- tinue to fill 8 place that the dailies can never fill. If they keep the people of a community in touch with each other by giving them l the news of their town and coun- try, for that alone they are of value and are worth far more than the dollar year that is usu- ally charged for them. If they merely chronicle the progress of the community and keep the local pride and progressive spirit aroused they are worth still more far more in fact than the town ever spends on them. Bear this in mind: No merchant, that spends every year all that he can afford with the home paper whether that expenditure is actu- ally necessary or not-makes a wise and profitable investment. He is not giving" the home paper something. On the con- trary, it is earning every cent it gets and more-provided it is a paper that is worth picking up in the road. And if it isn't that sort of a paper, it is usually the fault of the town in which it is published.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

This is pre-eminently the age of the
young man. Great corporations, banks,
railroads. newspapers, pulpits, the bar
and nearly every business and profess
sion is crying for young blood. 1t may
be sad, but it's true, that in most places
to-day age is at a discount. How great,
therefore, the responsibilities, as well
as the opportunities, of youth!
Make up your mind to do something
and do it quickly, persistently and hon
orably. Every road to true success runs
through a righteous purpose Don't
wait for something to turn up" but go
out and turn it up! The world admires
a hustler. There is no promise in the
Bible TO either a lazy man or coward.
Humanity despises both.

NEEDS OF THE OLD FOLKS.

Many are the needs of the old folks.
How the children are crowded with
business. They long to hear from their
offsprlngs, of whom they have such
tender regard. How in the long ago
they cared for them. Why does not the
long-looked-for letter come? Often pa
rents have no greater need than TO
hear from those that used to be their
constant care. How often they had
rocked them tic sleep when tired out
from play, tuck ID them in when the
night was cold and the ground was
white. In retrospection how often the
old folks see the children, little and
helpless linging to their skirts when
they could put their hands upon them
and caress the darling of their life

1t is extremely improbable that there
will be any further sales of public lands
in Wisconsin; that is, unless il is de
termhed, hereafter, that lands now pos
sessed by thp State are more suitable
for agricultural purposes than for pres
ervation as forests. The State forestry
bill, the first to be presented in the Sen
ate, is likely to pass. 81 least some kind
of a measure proyidirs for the preserya-
ton of the forests will be enacted into n
law. The passag,' Of this act will not
only save the forests. but it will also
yield the State something like an AIDE

of acres Of timber lands have been sold
in the past for SO aud 50 per acre, which
have yielded many thousands Of dollars
