At this moment Drake entered, pre-
senting himself s~ullenly. He had al.
ready received Wilkerson's acrid COM
pliments on his nstuteness In failure,
and he expected nothing less from
Mrs Darnell. He was ready to quit
the conspiracy.

The Paper and the
Community

muntty should take MS nome
paper. The local newspaper Il
one of the chief assets of any
section of country and should b
supported and encouraged Al
such, not with 4 feeling of chart
ty toward the editor, as is toe
often the case, but in the firm
conviction that in supporting the
paper you are contributing to the
uplift of the community and the
consequent enhancing of the val
ne of your own holdings.
Without your home paper youI
town would lose much of its at
tractiveness as 4 place of abode,
would become a barren spot In
the field of knowledge.
The community would be crop
ing around in the intellectual
darkness of uncertainty and spec
ulation, while other cities and
towns would be climbing upward
and onward to better things.
The dissemination of news
would return to the ancient meth
cd of mouth to mouth, with its
consequent delays, and distortions
and omissions.
The business interests would
suffer from lack of medium of
communication between buyer
and seller, commercial rivalry
would be on the wane, and the
American spirit of II Will'
would sink into disuse and event
ual obliteration.
How many years have you
been reading this paper anyway?
And don't you feel deep down
in your heart that it has been
worth more to you than it has
cost you?
How would you like to be. de-
prived of the opportunity of ever
seeing another issue of it?
In other words, just how
would you like to live in this
community if there were no
paper published here, no medium
from which you could ascertain
the doings of the people of the
community, no medium of ex-
change in the matter of barter
and sale, no medium through
which YOU could make your
wants known to the people ex-
cept by climbing into a buggy
and spending days in driving
from one place to another?
Just how would you like that?
The pill would be somewhat
bitter, wouldn't it?
Well, don't worry-you are in
no danger of losing your home
paper.
This article was written merely
for the purpose of causing you to
do a little thinking along the
RIGHT LINE.
We want you-all of you-to
realize that this paper is not be-
ing published just for the glory
of the editor.
1t is a public institution, it is
an important part of the COM
munity itself, it is about the
only industry with which the
community could NOT dispense
without intellectual stagnation,
for when people cease to read of
home affairs their intelligence
pays the penalty.
This paper is for progress, for
the development and encourage
ment of every Legitimate interest
that will be of value to our
people.
We are laboring to that end
and we want you to labor with
us.
And that our labors may cover
a greater field and bear better
fruit, 1--WE want every family in
the co immunity to read the paper
to know what others are doing,
to lend a helping hand in making

Baxter Springs is going to take
on a big growth. We know
we speak, but to tell you
how we know would be a viola
tion of confidence, and that is
something we have never been
guilty of yet. But the big
growth is not far away, just the
same.
We understand some people |
who signed pledge cards last
year to take tickets for the Chau-
tauqua this year failed to make
good, and in some instances re-
fused to make good their pledges.
This is entirely wrong, and we
trust that all who signed pledges
this year for the next Chautau-
qua will keep their pledges.
