The following true utterance is
from a Georgia paper:
Does a town need a paper or a
paper a town? The making is not
a one-sided affair. Each is necessary
to the other. A good paper cannot be
published in a town which does not
support it unless it can get portion
of its support from outside territory,
but any community can count on hav-
ing its editor give the best paper that
the support is affords will permit
His pride will guarantee this. A good
paper is the best possible advertise
ment for town. 1t is taken for
granted that it could nos be good if
the people of its town were not pro-
gressive. Thus it comes about that a
town that literally supports its paper
in turn is pushed forward by it,
A friend has seen fit to remark
that: "The kickers on the farm are
not so hard to get along with as those
in the towns. On the arm there is
the kicking COW and our long-eared
friend, the mule; while in town there
IS the old moss back who wants all of
the privileges of municipal living
without paying for them, and block
so far as he can every municipal i'm
provement. The COW may be sold for
beef and the mule traded for a shot
gun but nothing but a funeral will
get rid of the town kicker"

Towns Made While You Wait.

In the clearings the log house is a
rarity, because the portable sawmill
goes along with the timberman and
Sits the log into framing and boards
for the dwelling-while you wait. And
the people are even in touch with the
world. If they have no time to plant
telephone poles, they nail the insulator
to trees and run the wire through the
woods. In the old days of the plains
West" the town was born when the sa.
loon, the smithshop and the corner
store threw open It's doors. In this
Northwest the community springs into
existence with everything ready for the
daily life of its inhabitants. Not only
are the stores prepared for trade, but
the school house is awaiting the chill.

Pa, as he started to unwrap the pre-

qulvering thrills of great emotion.

"Bah!" was the contemptuous inter-
lection of the unfeellng Ma. "You
mean that you will have cops accom-.
pany you to Jail as soon as the neigh

Pa Jones, as usual, let Ma have the
last word, but as soon as dinner was

to the parlor, where he fondly caressed
the peace-destroying brass.
Strike the chord, Edythe! Strike

as he ran his hand through what few
remaining sprouts of hair he had, and
rolled his eyes toward heaven like q
real inspired artist! "Strike it gently !!

So saying, Pa put the cornet to his
lips and blew like II blizzard at the
Breakwater, but never a sound came
from the balky horn.
Taking another long breath and brac-
Ing himself against the plano, the emf
nent soloist blew and blew again, and
even though his cheeks bulged out like

as blushful embarrassment, there was
nothing doing In the musical line.

sweet and joyous smile. 81 told you

with painful expression of annoyance
