Taking a paper out OF the postoffice
makes the recipient liable for the bin
An editor in Missouri sent his paper to
one John Smith. The latter paid for Il
twice and then refused 70 pay again.
He said he ordered it discontinued.
But the court of appeals holds that
mere acceptance of the paper created "a
liability. II adds: "The preparation
and and publication of newspaper
means much mental and physical labor
as well as outlay of money. One who
accepts the paper by taking it from the
postotiice continuously, receives bene-
fit and pleasure arising from such labor
and expense as fully as If he had APP
proprinted any other product of anoth-
er's labor, and by such act he must be
held liable for the subscription price.
BE booster for your home town
II You have nothing to boost but
store and post Office, be booster
just the same, II you let people know
the gTeat opportunities your town
offers, thev viii sit up and take no
ticeY and finally see that YOU are right.
There is no town. however small, but
has some advantages. No town but
what would be good location for a
factory or mill of some kind. Look
at the natural advantages of your town
ThiulysR5s they could be utilized sue

park and the things that make town
look like il was wide awake. These
are the things that make town look

1t is little use for the local editor to
waste his lungs and sprain his spine In
trying to boom town when the citi-
zens all stand around with their hands
in their pockets and indifferently wait
for something to turn up. If the capi-
talists or business men do not put their
shoulders to the wheel and do a little
boosting 1t is useless for the editor to
try and boom things. He can write
boom" articles till he gets bald head
ed but II the citizens themselves do not
take hold and push, the town will for
ever stick In the mud. OF what use is
1t for the local paper TO suggest the
improvements and new enterprises IL
the suggestions are never acted upon?
One man cannot boom town. 1t re-

1t requires the concerted action of the
citizens When ole man shoulders a
to ~n and attempts to carry il there
are always a lot of cranky kickers
ready TO jump on top of the load.
Unity OF action is what knocks
