The service last Sunday evening in
the Congregational church was unique
as far as Princeton is concerned.
Pictures were shown depicting the
tremendous problem that has faced
our country and will in the future

One feature of the service very much
enjoyed was the illustrated songs.
Splendid music was furnished by a
young peoples choir and the best
orchestra in town.

their reputation called into ques-
ton. Nothing can take the place
of your home paper-it is your
advocate-it is your friend
ready to espouse your cause.
The big guns, the heavy ar
tillery-the city papers-that
carry heavy charges and whose
magazines are always filled with
the most infamable and combus-
tible ammunition cannot take
the place of the home paper.
They fly high and ride mighty
fast, and exhibit feats of aero
batic intrepidity in the literary
and political world that arouses
the greatest admiration, but
they can't take the place of your
home paper, which buck les right
down to business like it was one
the family.
The home editor is your friend
mot only for business motives
but your friend indeed and in
truth, and deserves your help
and commentator. The col
umns of the home paper stand
op en- for your entrance and
should be used for the ventila-
tion of progressive ideas and the
discussion Of new enterprises.
How often is the paper used in
this way?

The wide awake merchant will
encourage cooperative market
ing among the farmers, says an
exchange. If the farmer can re-
alize more money on his products
by this plan it will mean more
trade for the merchant and his
profits will increase at a less ex-
pense and with much less risk.
The more money the farmer has
the more the merchant will get
in trade. The cooperative plan
enables nthe farmer to sell his
products at as good prices as the
man who has a carload to sell.
The man who has only ten or
twenty-five bushels of corn can
ship his as cheaply as the man
with a carload. The farmer
must understand, however, that
prices are not stable; they are
subject to daily changes, depend
ing on the supply and demand
and the system of marketing.
Whether the prices be high OF
low, the advantage will always
be in favor of the farmer to sci
direct through the cooperative
plan. 1t does not matter wheth.
er corn is fifty cents or a dollar
per bushel the profits gained
would be the same. The same
thing is true of cattle. hogs, OF
any other farm produce.

THE VALUE OF THE LOCAL
PAPER.

The esteemed Water Valley
Itemizer INDUCES in the follow
ing cogent observations on the
value to a community of its local
paper:
Every city must depend main
ly upoe the newspapers for its
advertising. Not only does this
apply to merchants and other
business interests, but in giving
the city It's notoriety and reputa-
ton. Just to think of this in
casual way the Importance of the
proposition is not recognized
Without the hearty expressions
of concentrations from the To-
cal paper, your town would
slacken its pace in the world of
enterprise. The average editor
is not penurious, especially with
his sentiments, and he is so Law
| ish with the good seeds he sows
to the reputation and character
of his town so constant in his
praises that his power for good
frequently fails of recognition by
those who should be the first to
manifest appreciation. They
frequently advance so far in adj
vocacy Of their town and their
| people, that they come near the
danger line Of prevarication, and
lay themselves liable ia have

these worthy citizens. adopted
