that's about all I need. It has few

"Well, that's one way to look at It,"
said the other farmer. "but I've always

He Knows His Folks.

Here are some random observations
OF a man who has visited and studied
a good many small communities: II
you read your local paper You will
not miss much that is happening
around horne. There is NO use saying
that you wish your town had paper
like one in the other town, for the
Iother fellow there is saying the same
thing. The man who reads his local
paper thoroughly Is usually pretty
good citizen and has 1t ali over the
fellow who does not. Local papers.
when all Is said and done. do more IT,
uphold the institutions Of this state
and country than any other known
contributing force In the worlds work.
