Speaking of what a newspaper
does in a community, the late U.
S. Senator Davis, of Illinois. made
an address in which he said:
sEverv year each local paper
gives from $500 TO $1,000 in free
lines to the city in which it is
located. No other agency can or
will do this. The editor, in pro-
portion to his means, does more
for his town than any other man,
and he ought to be supported, not
because you like or admire him
and his style, but because local
paper is the best investment {
community can make. Today
the 'ocal papers are doing more
for less pay than "a thing else OF
earth"

The following composition on
men is credited TO a little girl:
Men are what women marry.
They drink and smoke and swear,
but don't go to church. Perhaps
if they wore bonnets they would.
They are more logical than women
and also more geological. Both
men and women sprung from
monkeys, but the women sprung
further than the men,"
