A Poet of the Provinces.
The Local Paper.

The local newspaper Is an institution
that is we'll deserving the consistent,
liberal support of the merchants and
the public in any community. The To-
cal newspaper is the reflector in which
is mirrored the spirit of the town in.
which it is published. Pick up live
aggressive weekly newspaper and you
may safely conclude that it emanates
from a place that has enterprise, pro-
gressive tendencies and future pros
poets. Open a newspaper that shows
evidence of the practice of grinding
economy, in the limited space devoted
to the recounting Of local events, in the
umns and your natural guess that there
is a lack Of pride, loyalty and ambition
among the Inhabitants whence it came
will not be far wrong. If a newspaper
carries a comprehensive representation
Of local advertising, Of ads that show
frequent change and timely announce
ments 1t is safe wager that the people
are not going to the city or putting
their money in the mails in order to
purchase their requirements from
abroad. If a mail order house is look
ing out for point where 1t can dis
tribute it's catalogues with the assur-
ance that they will command attention
and get business it will give first pref
erence to the locality in which the
dealers are neglecting the opportunity
for calling attention to their merchan-
disc and service through the avenues
of publicity.
There should be close contact and
cooperation between the merchant and
the publisher for the promotion of their
mutual interests, for thereby the larg-
est measure of public good may be
accomplished. The larger the inf1u-
ence which a newspaper exerts the
more potential it becomes in commun-
ity upbuilding and the more profitable
are the returns for investment in it's
advertising space. One of the most
powerful influences employed in bust
ness upbuilding today is the utilization
Of the precept: "You boost me, and I'll
boost you,"' and the merchants and the
country newspaper working together
Systematically and enthusiastically
along that line can do more to promote
the growth Of the smaller towns and
help them to retain the trade that log
ically belongs to them than all the de-
nunciation or appeals for sympathy
that can be launched.

JAMES WHiTCOMB RILEY
NOTED POET, is DEAD
Death, Saturday, Was Due to Stroke
of Paralysis-He Had Never
Married.

| indianapolis, Ind.-James Whitcomb
Riley died Saturday, while only Mr.
Riley's nurse was awake at the poets,
home. Mr.. Riley's death was due to-
a stroke of paralysis.
Mr.. Riley was born about 1853, but
was reticent as to his exact age. One
of the most unique celebrations in
the country was held in his honor
October Z, 1915, when "Riley day"
was observed by banquet in Indian
apolis and in schools of the country
attended by more than one million
children. Men prominent in bust
ness and politics from all over the,
country assembled to do the poet
homage at the celebration, and many
congratulatory messages were receiv--
ed from abroad on that occasion. The
day in the public schools was observ-
ed by reading his poems. The poets.
philosophy of life and his manner Of
expressing it in Hoosier dialect won
for him years ago place in the
hearts of the public. OF late years.
he had not appeared at public gath
erings to any great extent, but in nice
weather could be seen on the streets
of Indianapolis in his automobile.
Mr.. Riley never married. His near
est living relative is a sister, Mrs.
Mary Payne Of New York.
The funeral service probably will
be held Monday, according to the
relatives, at his home. Burial will be.
in the Riley family lot at Greenfield
Ind, which town was his boyhood
home.
A Poet of the Provinces.
True poet of the provinces was.
James Whitcomb Riley; born of the.
middle west, he sang the joys, sor-
rows, fancies and humors of it's folk;
largely in its own dialect and the,
world was so touched by his inspira
ton and the realism of his homely
symbols that he was one of the few
who, devoting their lives to poetry,
have gained fortune.
