Sound Argument.

Every business carried on in a
town ought to be represented in the
local newspapers. 1t goes to many
persons who desire TO know something
OF the place. The home paper is one
OF the most forceful advertisements Of
a home institution. 1t speaks OF the
enterprise Of the place and to strang-
ers 1t illustrates the spirit and energy
Of the people. 1t Is always well TO
bear In mind that seekers for homes
and business locations never pick out
dead towns. A small town where
people are enterprising often holds
forth to the progressive settlers
greater opportunities than do the
larger citles.--Ex.
