OBSERVATIONS

Weather. Most people are lang
ing" it.
The little shower on Sunday
afternoon surely was a Good
send"
M. U. Jarrett is busy these days
distributing among his subscribers
the new edition of the Ohio State
Telephone Directory.
Take a look at your address la
bel OH the paper and see if you are
paid up Ii you're in arrears,
be good fellow, come in and hand
us little cash. If you re paid in
advance, then alright, read on and
forget it.
Some time during Tuesday
night thieves broke into the gar
age of Albert Fahrer and stole his
Ford. He Immediately notified the
county sheriff when he discovered
his loss Wednesday morning, but
as yet has no trace Of his car.
We notice in the Mauumee Ad-
vance-Era that Mayor Smith has
issued IA notice that all ''near-
beer parlors should stay closed on
Sundays to prevent evils arousing
from the sale of questionable
beverages. Now maybe Mr.. Smith
does know the difference between
NEAR-beer and near-BEER.
Paul Chambers was in town
Friday visiting friends. Paul has
just returned from overseas. He
has been over there for more than
year, and was at the front 81
days at one time without. relief.
He was in the Balloon department
and once received injuries when
forced to make a sudden para
chute drop. Nevertheless, he is in
fine shape now.
Eats three roast goose and a
tub of dressing at one meal, " but
he's gone now. "Jim" Doran, the
big motorman on the Valley line,
and the only man on the road who
could come anywhere near Con-
ductor Perry for boasting OF the
grand eats" they were always
having at their house, has quit his
job and gone to Detroit to hold
throttle on one OF the interurban
lines there.
An editorial in the Ohio Farmer
reads as follows. Think it over:
Local Papers
The local weekly or daily papers
deserve better support than they
receive in many communities.
Some have not succeeded because
of the policy or lack Of policy OF
their management, but our ex-
perience convinces us that the
great majority Of the papers de-
voted to the interests OF the home
community deserve hearty sup
port. The metropolitan daily will
bring to ones doorstep the news
Of the world seen through the
spectacles of the city editor, but
it is the editor who lives in the
heart of the community who is
able to reflect the sentiment OF
the local group. He alone is the
true interpreter OF events as they
affect the small home town and
the country Immediately sur
rounding it. He alone is able to
put real sparkle into the account
Of the wedding of boys and girls
whom he has seen grow up. He
alone is able to put the throb OF
real feeling into the obituaries OF
the men and women among whom
he has spent his life and with
whom he has worked for the i'm
provement and advancement of
the old town. These local papers
deserve better than they generally
get. During the war they have
had hard sledding-many of them
and now they have a perfect
right to come to the citizens of
their locality asking real business
support. Give it to them. If the
local paper has the proper kind of
encouragement it can do more for
the welfare Of the town and the
countryside than any other factor.
Support means more than merely
subscribing. Send in the news.
Patronize the advertising columns.
Pretty soon you will find yourself
becoming more interested in the
community than you ever were be-
fore and you will find that it is a
good place to stay rather than
something to try to get away
from. Help the local paper and il
will help you.-Ohio Farmer.
