A newspaper is the indicator tc
strangers what a town is. Have
you ever noticed in travelling that
if you buy a paper at some place
while passing through that you
size it up from that sheet? If il
contains plenty of advertising well
displayed you mentally comment
that the place looks prosperous
and good. If the news is put TO-
gether and displayed up in an
attractive and lively style you de-
cided that it must be something
of a town, if it can afford first
class printing.
Now kept newspaper is not
much better than any other kept
thing, commands no influence and
is an expense that makes il hate
full. No, a newspaper is a bust
ness proposition pure and simple.
1t must pay at the front office if
it is to yield power in the editor
ial room.
So, it behooves a community to
build up its newspapers. The
people strike al themselves when
they abuse and villify or withhold
patronage from their established
newspapers. Moral support of
the home newspaper is of as much
value 10 it as the money support,
because having the first the other
will come. When community
gets 10 the point where it is ready
to declare its home papers the
best in the land they have become
boosters. They are boosting the |
biggest booster Of ALL
In the opinion of the writer the
Kansas City Star and Times are
journalistic CRIME, as regards
make up and typographical ap-
pearance, but they are justified If
money making is a justification,
and the entire region swears by
them. A stranger can't spend
an hour there until someone asks,
what do you think of the Starr"
and of course expecting one to
bubble over with praise. But
those newspapers have achieved
in this attitude of worship what
every nj wspaper would like 10
see in its town, and what it is en-
titled to if it fights all the time
for the towns best interest.
Here are some clever "woulds"
that are going the rounds which
apply: If d member of your fami-
Iy died would you print the obit-
uary on d bill beard? If your
wife entertained company would
you send an account Of it to the
theatre program? If you were to
your business would you
the fact on the blotter
# hotel register? If you were
having wedding in the family
would you get out window cards
r hand bills?
NJ, indeed, you would send
uch things to the newspaper, the
proper place for them, but even
en- they would not be worth
much if the paper were poor
title starved thing, yet the best
n the town. Then why don't
'ou put your advertisements in
newspaper, which is read and
lot merely sensed?
The newspaper builds up your
own. The other publicity agen-
les mentioned have a place, but
re not essential to the life and
.osperity of a town. The news
aper is Billings Journal Trib-
lie. 90

MONEY TO THROW
At THE BIRDS

The statement of the Estancia
Savings Bank published in this
issue is a mighty interesting one
to every man who is interested
in the development Of the coun-
ty. 1t will be observed that the
individual deposits subject to
check foot up above $144, 900.
Heretofore this item has for the
past year or two run around
$50, 600 sometimes a little above,
sometimes a little below that
figure. The statement under
consideration was made on No
vember 18th, and the deposits
have largely increased since that
date. On Tuesday, November
28th-eleven days after the date
of the statement, this item of de-
posits shows on the bank books
above $175,000 Presumably the
deposits of the Torrance County
Savings Bank at Willard have
increased in a like ratio, in which
event the total deposits in the
county probably reach $400, 900.
There was a time five or
six years ago when the deposits
in the county amounted to only
about 100000, and possibly they
have been lower than that. In
this connection, too, it should
be remembered that in years
past the exigencies of business
has taken many accounts to
Santa Fe and Albuquerque banks,
besides the accounts originating
there before the days of banks
in the county and which have
continued because men don't
like to change, and the accounts
carried by business concerns with
headquarters outside the county.
There is no way of ascertain
ing what these deposits amount
to, but they must be heavy.
IN this connection it NAV be
pardonable to say that residents
Of the county would consult their
own interests by doing their
banking within the county when
ever possible. There is no bet
ter way to build up the county.
1t strengthens the home banks
and enables them to give the
home people better service.

NJ. E. LADIES' AID

The Ladies Aid of the M, E.
church met at the home of Mrs.
Elgin on Tuesday afternoon with
fourteen members and two Wis
itors present. The afternoon
was pleasantly spent in tacking
comforts, finishing up two.
A business meeting was called
at four o'clock, and with the
proceeds from the dinner, dues,
ETC., $65 90 had been taken in
since the last meeting, which
will enable the Aid to help boost
the work of the church financial
ly.
One new member was added
to our membership.
The ladies rendered a vote of
thanks to the ladies who so kind
ly assisted with the dinner and
supper, each one having her part
in making it such success. And
especially do they thank those
who so kindly assisted that were
neither members of the Aid nor
of the courch.
The next meeting will be Tues
day, December 5th with Mrs.
Clay Keen, and tacking comforts
will be the order of the day. The
president kindly insists that
every member of the Aid be
present as officers will be elected.
Visitors are welcome.
