JUST AMONG OURSELVES

The people of the average commu-
nifty are inclined to underestimate the
value of their local newspapers. Even
the very people who benefit most from
their newspapers, fail TO appreciate
them and even at times roast them.
A newspaper is just as necessary
Just as important, just as effective in
the development and growth of cities
as a bank, a grocery store, telephone
system, a church system, school sys-
tenn, water system, theater, or q
fire department What kind of growth
would any community make il the
merchant had to sell his goods by indi-
vidual solicitation; II a proposal to
build a new city hall, or purchase the
street railway system had to be pre-
sented to the people by word Of mouth; !;
II tendency toward crime and i'm
morality could only be brought to the
attention of the people thru individ-
ual observation or by word Of mouth;
il the news Of the outside world, the
news Of business, Of politics, of relig-
ion, Of world affairs, and Of what other
towns and cities were doing to stimu-
late krowth, could only be brought to
the people by letter or by the person
al description of some citizen of the
city who has been away?
When people learn to think of these
things, they will learn to appreciate
their home newspapers and will stop
saying mean things about them.

Hastings (Neb.) Tribune.
Through the medium of one-line
advertisement inserted in q Denver
paper by William Austin, of zoos West
Fourth street, he has finally located
his brother, Charles Austin, rancher,
of Sapinero, in the Gunnison Valley,
Colorado, after a quest which has ex-
tended over forty years.
The want ad was placed last year,
and as it contained a Hastings address
it held forth the hope that William
Austin, whose name was signed, might
be the long sought brother. Cores
pondence brought out the fact that the
Hastings man was the brother and as
a result they came together in q reun-
ion at the home of William Austin ut
Hastings.
Comparison Of notes by the brothers
show that frequent advertisements
have been placed in different papers
over the country and that every known
means had been used to locate one
another.
The brothers came to the United
