nifty Life Emphasized.

November TIP has been set as Sub

papers the United States over-there

lies and small dailies-Is to partici-
pate.
The purpose of the campaign is not
only to induce residents of the small
communities and the home town folks
who are far from their native heath
to subscribe for the home paper, but
also to emphasize the important place
of its community.
This campaign has the hearty sup
port and cooperation not only of the
newspapers but thousands of minis
ters and school principals, and many
state agricultural colleges and farm
and home bureau organizations.
Some persons, it is pointed out, have
function Of the country newspaper.
They have not realized that In reality
the home paper is community insti-
tuition and that it enables the other
institutions, such as the church and
the school and all the rest to function
better and more effectively. That it is
necessity If the town is to advance.
During the time between now and

Strong for Home Paper


mo, don't take the local paper
any more" one farmer said to an
other as they were waiting at the
creamery to unload their milk.
They had just been looking at a
poster advertising Subscribe for Your
Home Town Paper Week, November
7-12." 81 take a daily paper. and
that's about all I need. 1t has a few
items every week from our commu-
nifty, and feel that save two dol
lars a year by not subscribing to the
home paper"
"Well, that's one way to look at 1t, i"
said the other farmer, "but I've always
felt that local newspaper was q
pretty valuable asset to any commu-
nifty, and if everybody took the atti-
tude you do, there couldn't be any To-
cal newspaper. OF course we could
not get along without our daily papers,
because they keep us informed about
what's going on throughout the ma
tion and throughout the world, but
when you say that they take care OF
our local news, don't think you are
sticking close to facts. They simply
can't, and the publishers haven't any
personal interest in our community
the way our editor has.
II have always felt that 1 got value
received for every dollar I've paid out
In subscriptions to the local paper, and
l don't have an idea that running a
country newspaper is any more of a
proposition than run
ming a farm. So long as I've got two
dollars intend that the rural mail
carrier is going to tuck copy Of the
home paper in my box every week.
That farmer knows that the COM
munity newspaper is necessity in
his home; that without it his home
would be incomplete and his part in
the community would be unsatisfactory
to himself and his family. He knows
the full value of the locrl newspaper
as an institution.

A FINE OLD HOME PAPER

These magazines with gravures and

But give me first and foremost, hold

That fine old home town paper--One
Of the good old time
The printin isn't perfect, the inks
not uniform,
The type is set by hand perhaps
considerably overworn,
The dear old press-I know it we'll

But it prints that old home paper
one of the gold old time.
1 look for 1t each week as regularly

And when the postman brings it in,

That fine old home town paper, one
