YOUR HOME TOWN NEWSPAPER

rtemus Ward, one of the greatest students
n of the psychology of publicity, once made
the following address before the merchants
of small town in New York state:
A country weekly newspaper doing bust
ness of $4,000 year is worth $4,000 to the bust
ness and professional men of the community and
can be made worth 100000 year to them. II
YOU don't believe that statement, try to get along
without your paper.
To talke about supporting" your newspaper
is about as damphoolish as to talk about support
ing store, bank or manufacturing enterprise
Too many business men look upon the local
newspaper as an incubus, sort OF charity. Yet
the local paper is as much public institution as
the public library the churches the hospitals, or
even the commercial club-with the difference that
it gives more direct returns in dollars and cents,
to the individual and to the community at large.
When a business man advertises in his local
newspaper, it is with the avowed intention OF
building up his business but he really also helps
to build up the town and everything in it. The
professional man does the same
The man. business or professional, who does
not pay his share of the towns publicity, is q
parasite taking advantage of his fellow men.
Can't you tell what sort Of town a place is
from the looks of its newspaper? If the paper
is of the boosting Sort and is backed up by the
business and professional men, doesn't the town
get reputation for being progressive?
The newspapers stock In trade is publicity
You would not go into store and ask the pro-
prietor to give you pair of shoes, for instance;
yet too often the publisher is asked to give away
his stock in trade advestising, for the individual
or cty-or sell it for less than cost If you could
keep count Of the demands Of this sort made or
your publisher every week. you would laugh.
There is never time when advertising viii
not pay If you do not owe a debt of obligation tx
your newspaper, you owe it to your community
The community has a right to expect your co
operation in making the newspaper representative
of your community. Every time your name is pub
lished in list Of contributors to some charity
that is advertising advertising that the
publisher gives cheerfully, because it boosts The
town.
Every bit of publicity produces direct and IN
direct results for the who pays for it, it pro
duces results for every other business and pro
fessional man of the town, whether or not he
evades his responsibility.
It produces results for every man, woman
and child Of the community.

THE FOREST FIRE MENACE

has been urged that the legislature be call
ed together to appropriate more money for
fire prevention in northern Minnesota.
There would be no need of such action now if the
representatives of the fre-menaced district had
during the regular session agreed on practical
and definite plan of fire-prevention. Many mem
bers felt that merely patrolling the woods is IN
effectual and that million dollars appropriation
for the salaries of fire-wardens would not to any
great degree minimize the fire menace. The mem
bers from northern Minnesota were themselves
Largely instrumental is substantiating the suspicion
that something more than mere scouting is needed.
It will be necessary, in order to prevent
destructive fires, to remove underbrush and make
fire breaks. Some Of the expense Of doing this
work should be born by property-owners them
selves; the rest should be shared by municipalities,
counties and the state in much the same manner
as the cost of building state roads is distributed
There are nonresident owners Of lands who hold
thousands of acres for speculation. The state
should remove the fre-menace on such lands
whenever the owners failed to do so when given
proper notice, and the cost of removal should be
lien against the lands. By the adoption of this
plan the state would not only safeguard life and
property, which is of course, the first considera-
ton It would dispossess spectators who are
retarding the development Of the northern part Of
the state by holding vast areas of land unused

AND THERE'S 100000 OF THEMl

To some of the boys who went to Europe last
year or the year before America probably seemed
a dull place and not nearly so desirable as home
as some of the lands they had read or dreamed of
or of whose marvels they had heard from the
lips of parent or friend. But the eagerness to re-
turn home displayed by them is pretty convincing
proof that however loose and Indifferent may
then have been their attachment for the good old
u. S. A., there can be no question as to its firm
and binding quality now. Can one doubt that they
have come back better Americans than they went
away? Will many Of them hereafter be pro-this
or pro-that, or pro-anything but just pro-Ameri-
can? If some international crisis were to con-
front us now, those boys would be among the first
to resent, and to resent effectively, the $3.50
loyalty that was so much in evidence before their
entrance into the service. Warren Register.

LET'S TALK SENSE

- n his farm near Pine City the farmer pro-
III duces bushel of potatoes. He does not
need them himself. He wishes to sell them.
And there's fellow living on Blair street, St.
Paul. who needs bushel of potatoes and wishes
to buy them.
Now, before the consumer may exchange his
money for the potatoes, several things must
happen. The potatoes must be brought to St.
Paul by rail, they must be offered somewhere for
sale, and they must be delivered to the consum-
ers Blair street address. All Of these things
cost money freight rates, the service of the
seller, and the delivery. Sometimes we are in
clined to forget these things to forget that IN
the price we pay, whether it be for q bushel Of
potatoes, or for new pair Of trousers, we must
pay for service, selling service, and delivery
