HOME TOWN PAPER WEEK.

People of the United States will be
afforded an opportunity during the
week of November It'll to 10Th to ex-
press in concrete form their gratitude
to those men and women. who through
sunshine and rain, prosperity and adj
versity, persStently and consistently
sing the song of the home town. The
time long since passed when newspa-
pers whether daily or weekly, can SUBJ
sist on the taking it for granted"
spirit of its patrons and well wishers.
Costs of producing newspapers today
have not decreased in anything like
the proportion experienced In other
lines and figures quoted recently by
daily and weekly newspapers through
the country have given the public a
glimpse into the expense incidental to
conducting the home paper.
To the newspaper men and women
of each community has fallen the task
of presenting the current events of a
fast-mOving world in accordance with
the modern ideas, more or less extrava-
CANT, and keeping a smiling counte-
nance and 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 it with optimism and
only a little reflection is 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 GO

METHODS OF SAMPLING AND
TESTING HIGHWAY MATERIAL

With the wide extension of improve
ed highway construction throughout
the United States, the need is increas-
ingly felt for some system of stand
ards for the testing of highway ma
terials so that tests in one part of the
country can be accepted in another.
The Bureau of Public Roads, of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, has held conferences on the
subject with the various State high
way departments, and last year 4
conference of testing engineers was
held in Washington. The results of
the conference are published in De-
partment Bulletin No. 949, STANDARD
and Tentative Methods of Sampline
and Testing Highway Materials.
This bulletin of % pages gives 81 diff
ferent tests and tentative tests cover
ing nonbituminous and bituminols
road materials, soils, and other sub
stances.

LAWS OF 1921 RELATING
TO FUR-BEARING ANIMALS

Half of the ~ State legislatures in
session tins year enacted legislation
relating to fur-bearing animals the
general trend of which was to safe
guard these animals and insure
prime condition of peltries. The need
for such legislation is apparent in the
light of estimates by raw-fur BUYERS
that the decrease in the supply OF
peltries during the last 10 years has
been from % to 30 per cent.

BY NJ. V. ATWOOD.

once upon a time a country editor
had great idea. This is not the first
great idea which has been evolved in
country prlnt-shop, but most of these
IDEAS in the past have been of benel
TO some one other than the editor.
But the idea was to benefit editor as
well as the whole community and ma
ton.
This was the idea: Why not have
a home paper week?"
We have had every kind of a "week"
from soap to electric cleaners.
Taken together, argued the editor,
the country newspapers are quite the
most important in the nation, even ii
judged by numbers; the ten or fifteen
thousand of them make the four hun
dred big city papers and magazines
seem fnconsiderable, indeed.
The reason most folks do not real
ize the Importance of the country
newspaper is because they think of
them individually instead of collective
~; even the Atlantic ocean doesn't
look very impressive when YOU view it
merely as a cupful of water scooped
UP at the beach.
So this country editor began to talk
about the idea and to write letters
to any one who he thought might be
interested. But like all great ideas.
1t took a long time for it to grow.
Finally a company which has done
much to teach country publishers the
value OF system and of knowledge of
costs took 1t up, as did also the Ma.
tonal Editorial Association then the
state colleges Of agriculture saw It's
possibilities because of the effect on
community life; another great concern
which furnishes thousands of country
papers with syndicate news and fea-
lures became interested and of
course. the publishers trade journals
fell into line.
Thus a great chain of interest in
