THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER

Wm Allen White tells the story
Of the Country Newspaper in Harp.
ers An extract follows:
Now into this peculiar civiliza-
tion comes that curious institution,
the Country newspaper The coun-
try newspaper is the Incarnation OF
the town spirit The newspaper IS
more than the voice OF the country
town spirit the newspaper is IN !,
measure the will Of the town. and
tie towns character is displayed
with sad realism In the towns newt
papers. newspaper is as honest
rs It's town Is as intelligent as its
town, as kind as its town. as brave
as It's town. And those curious phas.
es OF abnormal psychology often
found in men and women. wherein
daal or multiple personality speaks
are found often in communities
where many newspapers bahble the
nany voices arising from the disor
gan!zed spirits of the place. For
ten years and more the tendency in
the American country town has been
toward fewer newspapers. The
tendency seems to show that the
seirit OF these communities is uni
flying The dissssociated personal
ities vi the community Wrargl
Ing bankers, the competing public
utilities, the vets and the drys tho
Guelfs and the Ghibellines in score

spirit OF the place So one new spap.

tnwns-so long as they are towns
