EVERY LIVE COMMUNITY
NEEDS A LIVE NEWSPAPER

The average local town paper is
worth thousands Of dollars annually
to its community for the free service
it renders AS a constant booster and
promoter Of local news or informa-
ton it is indispensable.
Did you ever stop to think what you
would do without your home paper
This is not idle question What would
you do if your town paper should in
definitely suspend publication?
Having no newspaper would mean
a return to the old Roman method of
posting information on public bulle-
tin boards. A call for teachers exam
inatiOn would necessitate posting Of
notices at dozens of places in the
county at greater expense than the
charge in the local papers. Farmer
Smith could not announce a sale to
all lis neighbors except by laborious
methods more costly than newspaper
space. Marriage and death notices
most certainly not fifty adOrn public
bulletin boards. Those who are inter
ested in farm or town improvements
would make progress but tediously
without newspaper support.
Move just have to have our town
newspaper. We want to know what
other folks in the county are doing.
The most interesting information III
the world is knowledge of what 9TH

Henry Field of Shenandoah, Iowa,
proprietor of an immense seed house,
paid $500 the other day for the pro
duct Of One-half acre of ground. The
crop was tomato seed Of a select
ed quality and guaranteed to produce
Ia fine plant You can also bet that
when Henry Field, who is another
Henry Ford, only he is in the seed bus
mess instead of automobiles, pays $500
for something, it is worth the five
hundred. Henry was a Page county,
Iowa farmer, up to about ten years
ago. He raised pretty good corn and
sold seed to his neighbors. Finally
the demand for Henry's seed corn be-
came so big that he raised nothing
else but seed corn, but he stayed right
on the farm. Later orders poured in
so fast that Henry was compelled to
open an office in Shenandoah Henry
didn't fancy this so well as he was a
farmer and liked the country. Then
that gosh-darned seed business grew
SO fast that Henry was the proprietor
of a big four-story building a block
or so long, almost before he knew it
and still, like Jacks beanstalk, the
business just kept right on growing.
All the time, mind you, Henry was
growing with the seed business and
selling his customers AAA-1 stuff
Still he's just Henry Field, plain farm
er, and the day we called on him he
was sitting in his big Office cussing
little because his motors weren't Civ
ing him the efficiency he thought he
ought to have and trife disconnected
because he didn't know as much about
electricity as he does about seeds.
Oh, about that $500 crop. Well, that
half acre undoubtedly used to grow
corn worth about $50 Now man,
by intensive cultivation pulls down
$500 and has a Henry Field in his
neighborhood to take his product. Eff
ficiency works both ways.

EMPTY GLORY

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK, Nov. a.
YaIe's Victory over Harvard
Saturday, which gave to tho
sons Of Ell the championship
Of the sristoerstic "Big Three"
carried with II a rather empty
glory. Brown, pItted In success
sion sgains, Yale and Har-
vard. whipped both those
teams and did II with such
rouslng enthusiasm that tho
Providence team today un-
ooubtedly holds a double
elnched hammerioek on the
Eastern championship. Unless
Colgate knocks the Eastern
fans off their feet with a VIC
tory over the Rhode islanders
Thursday, Pollard and the rest
Of the BrunonIans will glory In
an Eastern title.
At Pittsburg II is ercusable to
foam around and point TO Pitts
burg's clean record for the year
and claim at least a tie with
Brown. but IL is impossible to over
look those two clean victories by
Brown over Harvard and Yale. Also
II was by the narrowest margin
that Pittsburg escaped. The Navy,
a team not counted at all in the
general placing. suffered defeat by
Pittsburg by the bare count OF 81
to 10.
Empty glory in conquest OF tho
whole East. however. is easily over
looked by Yale. The victory OF the
Blue over Harvard is plenty OF CON-
pensation for anything that might
have happened. and the fact that
the Blue eleven outfought and out
played Harvard at every stage is
enough TO account for any old kind
of enthusiasm in Connecticut.
The Army-Navy contest brought
out the fact that Elmer Oliphant,
Westerner. Is about the best foot
ball player the East has watched
in years.
ELEPHANTS spectacular work Sat
urday brought his point total for
the season up TO liz. more than any
