LOCAL PAPER A
POWERFUL FACTOR

Little Falls Transcript: Speaking
of what a newspaper does for its
community, the late United States
Senator Davis of Illinois, gave an
address in which he said: Each yeI
every local paper gives from $500 to
81 900 in free lines for the benefit of
the community in which it is located
No other agency can or will do this.
The editor, in proportion to his
means does more for the town than
any other man, and with all fairness,
man with man, he ought to be sup
ported, not because you like or adj
mire his writing, but because To-
cal paper is the best investment
community can make Today local
papers are doing more work for less
pay than any man on earth. Pat
ronize your paper, not as charity,
but as an investment

BUSINESS
There is Some and a Rush of 1t
is Expected Later---Shut
Down for Week.
Correspondence OF The Paper Mil.

Correspondence OF The Paper MILL
Appleton, Wis, July 12-"How
can you expect to get any news, es-
pecially good news, when business
is down to summer tides lowest
notch?" said a manufacturer to me
:. Few days ago as l walked into the
office to get the 'doings" of the
week And Judging from the limit
ed bits of real news matter secured
on the route this week the question
inopportune. when there's no BUSH
ness, there's usually no news" con-
tinued the manufacturer. Il don't
mean to have you take that state
ment literally, for there really is a
little business, but not enough to get
excited over And there is little
chance of things being much changed
before another month passes. How
ever, l apprehend that at the close
Of the coming week at least one OBJ"
stacle to good business will have
been removed. l refer to the tariff
bill. While the members of the con-
ference committee might be misled to
the extent Of not giving the paper
industry the protection it needs and
should have, final settlement upon
the tariff bill and its passage, no
matter what the duties, will have a
tendency to stimulate business, not
only in the paper and pulp line, but
in all other lines as we'll l don't
look for much change in our line
until after the middle of August. Re
ports I am hearing from jobbers lead
me to believe that every mill in this
part of the country will be driven
to capacity after things finally revive
from summer and Legislation
lethargy."
Several of the mills hereabouts are
planning on a week or ten days shut
down next week and the week follow
ing, this being for the purpose of
making annual repairs and preparing
for the fail and winter rush. Water
power conditions in the Fox River
Valley are daily getting less valuable
and indications are that next week
and the few weeks following will be
the most profitable time of the year
for mills hereabouts to shut down
for repairs. Although the weather
man has for days predicted rain,
nothing but showers of short dura-
ton have resulted and the river con-
stantly is lowering.
What is true Of the Fox River
Valley mills is largely true of the
mills in the Wisconsin River Valley.

The postoffice department has de-
cided that children going to and from
school shall not be allowed to get
their parents mail, so do not blame
the postmaster if your children are
refused the mail. The postoffice hab-
it among the children has become a
nuisance both to the public and the
postmaster, and the department has
done wisely in making this decision
This has been one of the postmaster
greatest trials as the children
go to and from school, We hope
this will be observed and not other
means need to be used to enforce
this law
