time long since passed when newspo-
psrs. WHISTLER daily or weekly. can sub
sist on the taking II for granted
spirit Of It's patrons and well wishers.
Costs Of producing newspapers today

glimpse into the expense incidental TO
conducting the home paper.

Of each community has fallen the task
Of presenting the current events Of q
fast-moving world In accordance with
the modern ideas, more or less extrava-
CANT and keeping q smiling counte-
nance and q courageous heart when
others are prone to talk "hard times"
Their loyalty to the state and their
community has undergone a severe
test but they met IL with optimism and
only q little reflection Ia required to
show how much worse conditions might
have been before the turn I'm the road
was reached, had they pursued a differ.
ent course.
Advertisers had to keep advertising
whether they could pay promptly or
not and business had to be Kept 20
ing for the general good. The pub
fishers and editors did their part and
the second week In November 10 pro-
claimed time when those who bene-
