Good, readable news some weeks is
very scarce. while other times there is
more than can be crowded into the Inn
lied space OF the average newspaper.
When there Is a dearlh of news there is
always some bedy 10 complain. But il
they would assist in making news. the
local paper would he more interesting.
Try it for change. Fail down stairs
aud break your leg and your paper Will
sympathize with YOU. Hang yourself
IA the barn and play 'pdssum till after
YOUR obituary has been published and
you will be surprised TO fnd that you
still have some virtues, even il ou don I
know il yourself. Endow some library
or charitable Institution with SIC. 600 or
80. 900, and you will discover by your
local paper That you arr one Of the
most benevolent aad generous meu on
earth. These are n few of the many
ways the good people could help TO
make an interesting aud newsy" local
paper. They may not be very pleasant
10 contemplate. but just think OF the
"eujos ment" the public would have in
reading such spicy news.
