Not because of any social discredit

which will meet at the Western Stale

life ever held in Kentucky. The confer

government, better roads, better agri.
culture. better schools, better churches
and better homes.
The array of talent that is an

is sufficient to assume the success of
the conference.

a CONVINCING ARGUMENT
FOR HOME SUPPORT

The statement that eight hundred
countrywide newspapers have sus-
pended publication on account of the
high price of print paper, should caus"
good people everywhere to rally to the
support of deserving publishers, says
the Lowell Mich Ledger. No insti-
tuition has been more loyal to local Ill
terests through thick and thin than
the country newspaper; and it's poor
community that doesn't stand by its
best friends. Probably some of the
newspapers alluded to did not deserve
to live. but many of them did; AMI
their demise was due to the fact tho.
they were published in dead commune
ties. A live newspaper makes a live
town and vice versa.
