THE NEWSPAPER IN THE HOME

THE NEWSPAPER IN THE HOME
There are homes in which there is
no newspaper
There are homes in which there
is a no-account newspaper.
There are homes in which there
is a bad newspaper.
And there are homes in which
there is a good newspaper.
And you can soon tell the differ
ence in the children of those homes.
Where there is no newspaper or
only a no-account newspaper, the
whole family seems asleep. They
do not know what is going on in
the world. They only hear what
their neighbors tell them. The
children learn little at school and
then forget it. Other homes are
frightened by news, new inventions,
higher pleasures. but the home
without a newspaper is asleep.
The home with bad newspaper
is stirred up in the wrong way. The
children read of vice and crime. The
mother is set agog for town finery
and discouraged in her home duties.
The father is filled with prejudices
and false notions. The home is
poisoned.
The home with a good newspaper
has a schoolhouse and a church
house and an entertainment hall by
its own fireside every week.
MAKING A NEWSPAPER
The making of newspaper is a
big thing!
A hundred great inventions had to
be made before the modern, up-to-
date, newspaper could be printed.
Come into The Citizen office and
look around. How do we manage to
get the news from all the counties.
and states, and the wide worldf
Trains and telegraphs are busy day
and night getting in the news for us.
And where do we gather the jokes,
the articles for farmers, housekeep-
ers, and children, the stories and po-
ems that enrich our pages? Men of
thought and men if science are at
work for us.
And il is a curiosity to see the
type-setting machine, and the print
ing press, and the folding machine,
and the addressing machine. And
think what it means TO keep our ac-
counts square with each one Of all
our subscribers.
We believe we furnish the best
family newspaper in all the South,
but we have plans for making il still
better, and il takes work, and brains
and money.
WHY THE CITIZEN COSTS
People ask why The Citizen costs
more than the st. Louis Star and
some other papers.
All local papers cost more than
the great city papers, and most pa
pers as large and well printed as
The Citizen cost $50 year.
We use good paper so that child
rem and old people can read il
easily. The white paper on which
The Citizen is printed costs us near
ly twice what il did when we be-
gan.
We print no immoral advertise
ments, and no fraudulent or doubt
fnl advertisements, and no adver-
tlsements OF liquor or tobacco.
We get no subsidy from any po-
litical party.
The Citizen is not run TO make
money. All we get is laid out in
making the paper as good as il can
be made. The present Editor has no
salary, and the stockholders who
own the paper do not expect TO make
anything on their investment. We
are out to do good and to help the
families that subscribe.
II is impossible TO make a paper
like The Citizen and put the sub
seription price at less than one dol
lar
And we intend TO give the sub
scriber information and inspiration
in every single number that is worth
that whole dollarl Read il and
