Persons have been known to

Somehow the ounce produces

Strength Of the Local Paper.

The local newspaper should be
found In every home. No child, says
the Centerville Observer, will grow up
ignorant Who can be taught to ap-
preciate the home paper. It is the
stepping stone to intelligence in all
those matters not to be learned In
books.
Give your children a foreign paper
which contains not one word about
any person, place or thing which
they ever saw, or perhaps never
heard Of, and how can you expect
them to be interested?
But let them have the home paper
and read Of persons whom they meet,
and places with which they are fam.
liar, and soon an interest is awak'
ened which increases with the daily
arrival Of the local paper.
Thus q habit OF reading Is formed
and those children will read the pa
pers all their lives and become intel
ligent men and women, q credit Il
their ancestors, strong In theil
knowledge OF the world as 1t is to
! day.

basis "a difference In color and race is
not the right kind OF legislation.
There is much cause for the demand

Is just az much cause for the demand

OF whatever color be removed as a
balance OF power. The vicious and
criminal white is just as great a men
ace as the vicious and criminal black.
We believe that the qualifications Of
voters In Missouri should be more
closely prescribed by statute aimed
at white and black alike.
The men who pat the negro on the
black and tell him that he is a great
man and statesman and just as much
entitled to political and social equal

criminals OF the two. Missouri won
