He went into the shop and asked to
see the ring. There could be no doubt
about it, it was g. ring belonging to a

the ring and put it in his pocket.
Why what can you want with that
ring?' asked his friend. lis its owner

The officer said he was not and
then explained that it had always been
a custom Of the naval service for arv
naval officer to redeem a naval acad-
envy class ring whenever he saw one
and send it back to its owner. who, O,
course, makes good the loan at his
convenience.
That is why said the officer smiI-
ngly, ''pawnshop keepers are ALWAYS
to lend money on our class
rings. and that is also one reason WHY
a naval officer will never pawn his
class ring until the worst comes n

THE LOCAL PAPER.
& Powerful Influence for Good in Its
Community.

4 Powerful influence for Good in Its
Community.
The influence of the modern news
paper and periodical on the thought
and character of the community In
which it circulates is vastly greater
than most people who give it a cas-
ual thought may realize.
There never. has been a reform OF
any magnitude successfully carried
out without the help of the newspa-
pers, and radical change in the pol
icy of party or government along
re orm lines is never undertaken IN
til that reform has been forced upon
it by popular sentiment expressed
through the papers columns,
Popular sentiment produces reform
and that sentiment is produced by the
newspapers. So we see that the
newspaper is at the bottom of all re-
form movements. This is true of all
rightly conducted journalism, but is
dou1ly true of the local or country
daily or weekly. and for these rea-
sons
The large metropolitan dailies with
their enormous circulations, are main
" read by business men, and a large
percentage Of these men rarely. i
ever, glance at an editorial The
papers are largely left in car seats
or thrown into wastebaskets, and the
proportion which reach the family
hearth is small, and these are simply
scanned for sensational news and the
editorials are overlooked by the la
dies of the family almost entirely
Now, how different it is with the
local weekly paper! 1t is read top,
bottom and sides by every member o.
the family and particularly by the
women. Its editorials are read, dis
cussed and commented on, and the
community largely gathers its opin-
ions from the tone of these articles.
The women of a community have
much greater weight in shaping tn
policy o, that section than they are
usually given credit for. 1t is in very
many respects the case Of the gray
mare being the better horse. and you
will nearly always find them on the
right side, opposed to graft and
