TOWN JUDGED BY
NEWSPAPER
How Strangers Judge us

"Show me some copies of the
paper published in your town and
| will tell you some facts about it
and your people,"
The man who said that was an
active business man, who was
considering an expensive PROPOSE
ton. The information he wanted
was all in. issues OF weekly
newspaper.
He wanted to know about the
stocks of goods carried by the
merchants, to judge of their bust
ness capacity by the style and
amount of advertising they en-
ployed-the paper would show
him.
He wanted to know something
of the social activies of the town,
which the paper would show him.
He wanted to know something
of the pursuits of the people in
the town and the condition of the
surrounding country. The paper
would show him.
He would scan those papers
carefully and would be able to
give the information as he had
stated.
He would judge the business
prospects from the advertising
columns, of prospective selling
possibilities by the local happen
ings, of the tastes and intelli-
gence of the people by the read
ing matter the paper gives its
readers, and whether they were
progressive, alert or an easy
going and comparatively inactive
sort.
Your paper tells the story fully
to the active, observant business
man, who never saw your town or
its people.
If the town merchants are not
all represented IN It's columns 1t
would spell Little business" a
bad knock for the town. If the
local columns showed a scarcity
of news and little of the social
life it would spell in glazing let
tiers Nothing doing" If there
was a lack of high-class up-to-
date reading matter on the Invest
topics of the times, it would spell
for him -?
The investigation would end
and the town be passed over as
not worth considering.
So then the weekly paper is for
so times year showing people
who do not reside in the town
just how to judge if it is a bust.

Victory Over Charleston High Import
fredericksburg Next After
Huntington Game

Filled with confidence. but remem-
berine that "a naughty spirit goeth
before a fall" the members OF the
Wheeling High school football team
commenced practice for the second
game of the series for the West Eir-
giuia Scholastic football championship
yesterday afternoon. But they are not
letting confidence win games tor
them, and in practice they are work
ing like veterans after q champion
ship.
Realizing that the next two games
on the card are most important, Coach
Brooks let the men down easy yester.
day, tending mostly to allow the team
TO work out the stiffness resulting
from the battle of Saturday, in which
they defeated the Charleston High
school team by touchdown. Hunt
lngton, another contender for the hon
prs of the state, although beaten by
Parkersburg, another claimant, will
put up battle to retrieve lost honors,
when they come here Saturday.
Coach Archer Reilly, short stop on
the Wheeling Central League baseball
team. is directing the Huntington lads
In the gridiron sport this year. He
will accompany the team to this city.
TWO weeks ago the team commenced
practice for the Wheeling contest, and
during the interim they have played
two light teams, while Wheeling has
scheduled strong opponents.
Should Wheeling prove successful
in winning from Huntington. and they
should do this little thing unless some
great catastrophe overcomes the menu
bers of the Gold and Blue squad. the
next hard game on the card will be
Parkersburg.
