ONE WAY TO BOOST


The season of auto touring is here,
and with a general reduction in the
price of cars and gasoline at the
lowest figure it has been for many
months there's every reason to be-
lieve that this section will be visit
ed by more motorists this summer
than at any time in its history.
With this in mind we want to call
the attention of the citizens to the
advisability of showing theses strang-
ers every possible courtesy, not only
because they are as a general rule
entitled to it and expect it just as
we do when we go away from home
and among strangers, but because it
is one of the very best things we
can possibly do to advertise our town
and community and place our advant-
ages in a still better light before the
residents Of other states. Almost
every stranger coming through forms
an opinion of the town and its people
by the manner in which questions are
answered. and information given
They remember it, and as thew pass
along they speak good word for US
and the community in which we live
Then, too, almost all of them are In
need of accessories or repairs, OF
food or refreshments, and our trades
people profit by their visits. So it j.
noe bad idea at all to court the
visits of the auto tourists, to invite
them this way, and to give them Il
understand and make them feel tina
they are welcome during their sta!
here.
This is something every man, wo
man and child can do without sacri
ficing anything more than a littl
time. And considering the big re
turns from being courteous to strang
ers we have every reason to believ
every last one Of our people wi
take it upon themselves individual
!, to do so.

A WISE LAW

Minnesota has cause to be proud
of her law making it is a misdemeanor
to furnish false information to a
newspaper. She has had plenty of
trouble from the practical joker and
the trouble-maker, and as a result
of the fact that they could not be
brought to justice many of her citi-
zens have suffered. So the new law
is warmly welcomed.
But Minnesota is not in a class by
herself in respect to practical jokers
and trouble-makers. Every state and
every community has its share Of
them. We have to admit for the sake
of truth that one of this ilk hobs up
right here every now and then.
Someone anxious to harm a neighbor
and too cowardly to come out in the
open furnishes the newspaper editor
with information he has no means
of knowing is false. He prints it in
good faith, only to learn later that it
is untrue, that someone has been in
jured, their peace of mind disturbed
or their heart made heavy through
the despicable work of a gossip or
practical joker. The best the editor
can do is to apologize, print cor
rection-and wait for = chance t.
eyen things up. s
The Madison journal. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1888-current, 1921-06-11

has Just passed there is no need TO
wait. Such work is made a mis-
demeanor in the eyes of the law, and
the party who furnishes the false IN
formation is the one who must suffer.
That is exactly as it should be, and
we'd like to see the law extended to
every state in the union. We have
but few instances in which it would
apply in this community, but it would
be worth having around in case a
gossip, practical joker or cowafdiy
slanderer did show his hand.
