The Local Newspaper.

This is the way it looks to a writer who has travelled some, and watched for reasons why a town prCspers. He says this about the town newspaper
 "Stand by your town newspaper. If there is anything in your town worth talking about. ten chances to one your little town paper had hand in putting it there, and if there exists any un- slightly or unsavory nuisance twenty chances to one 1t will stay there until your town editor sees it or smells it ana wipes his pen on the town board s brooches. If anybody beyond the walls of your little burg ever learns that there is such a place as Peaceville, it will be through the town oracle.
 Every village gets it's moneys worth in the village newspaper. It's the wagon that carries all your good things to market. It ought to be kept in good repair. In many cases it would pay to grease it, paint it, keep its run ming gear n shape and shelter it at the public expense.
 "Srand by your local newspaper It's the guardian and defender of every interest, the forerunner and pioneer of every advance movement and the sturdy advocate of law and order. Take it away. and it would not be six months before the town would look as if it had been doped. Business would drag, society would yawn and grass would grow between the cohbles. "
