Dc II As a Business Proposition

Speaking of what a newspaper does for
a community, United States Senator Davis
of Minnesota made an address that re-
mains ever green il the memories of the
newspaper men. He said Every week
local papers give from so to 5000 free
lines for the benefit of the community in
which they are located. No other agency
can or will do this. In proportion to his
means. he does more for his own town
than any other man. He ought to be
supported, not because you happen to like
him or admire his writings the best, but
because a local paper is the best invest
ment a community can make. Financially
it is of more benefit than preacher and
teacher. Today editors do more for less
pay than any men on earth. Patronize
Jour home paper not as a charity but as
an investment"

wise conclusion of this matter, and it would
be a good idea if the fellows who are prone
to start such litigation should take a tum-
BILE to themselves and not indulge too free
ly in other peoples business for fear that
the wrath of God should settle unexpectedly
upon their heads before they are prepared
to depart from hence, we cussed.

that the court has not made any such or
der, and that the only agreement made was
tina, the mandamus should stand as ordered

against these funds, the members of the
board are liable and will be cited for con-
