ing November to II, and the week itself,
which as suggestions will lend themselves toward
writing other items along the same line, or making
display advertisements folders or ciruclars,
From the office of the National Editorial Asso-
citation will undoubtedly come other Suggestions
and from state press associations and other soorces
All these will be a hep-but 1t is the publisher OF
the home town newspaper that must do the most
must devote some of his space to his own business
and push over the "Subscribe for Your Home
Town Newspaper Week. in way that will mean
more to your subscribers, more renewals, and last
but not least better understanding of the home
town paper itself.
1t is also a notable fact that very Jew of the
readers OF those papers realize what loss 1t would
be to them and to the world if the country paper
should cease to exist
The large papers, with immense circulations
tell Of world happenings they understand
them, and display heads telling OF the latest scan
dals prize fights, and the mslortuncs OF humanity.
But it remains for the local paper the country
paper" the home town paper" to really give the
news of the world, that OF Mr.. Common people
and his wife.
1t is time for the country newspaper to do some
make some noise. Just paper to start some
thing would not amount to much but if the $1,000
country papers would join in the chorus, noise
that would go around the world would be the re-
suit.
Sometime ago | was going through some trade
papers, or bulletin of a state press association, or
something of that kind, and noted that somebody
wrote that it might be good idea to have Sub
scribe for Your Home Town Paper Week"
smiled at the idea at first, but some way the idea
stuck and then l started to find out who original
ed the idea, but the paper was lost
The publisher who thought of that idea just let
it go at that but decided that it was so good that
it should not die, at asked all the trade pa
pers printers magazines and the great printers sup
ply houses what they thought of the idea.
The officers of the National Editorial Associa-
ton written to- and in fact some two humid
red letters sent out.
The result was that everyone wrote that the idea
was just the thing, and by common consent il
decided that the week of November to r.
be adopted as Subscribe to Your Home Town
Paper Week"

MEET THE CLEAN UP" SQUAD, Ex-sER-

VICE MEN Tx service men who have anv adj
justments TO make with the government, should
make their arrangements to meet the men when
H., come to Fitzgerald to assist the sormer SER
vlccmen IN Strengthening out +heir affairs. The
Squad OF experts from the governm mi will q
| fitzgerald the week OF October 9Th when thew
will take up all matters pertaining to former ser
vicemen, in connection with their pay, insurance
health or other compensations. Besides the
boys" from Ben Hill the squad will look after
the claims of the servicemen from Tiff, IRWIN,
Turner, Telfair and Jeff Davis from this city,
and it may be we'll that the American Legion here
should make some special arrangements to look
after the comfort of these exscrvice men from
other counties during their brief stay in the city
Hundreds of them will probably come here and
little attention to them the part Of the citizens,
would certainly be i'll keeping with the reputation
for hospitality OF city. Concerning OF the
Squad the Ihomasvillc Times Enterprise states:
This squad will consider all cases that an cx-
service man may have with the Government for
any reason or for any purpose. There have been
hundreds of complaints at the way this compensa-
ton insurance and claim business generally has
been handled. The men have become dsgusted
and tired of trying to get something that their
Government owes them but seemingly isn't pre-
pared to pay. The Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance, the American Legion and the Red Cross are
cooperating to bring these to the boys to
place them so the service men can bring their
claims direct and be assured of immediate action
The boys ought to be told of this opportunity
1t has been advertised in all papers and circulars
distributed throughout the county Many have
been personally urged to tell all service that
they have this chance 1t is the business of all
citizens see that every one of them knows about
the Cleanup Squad.
The Squad furnishes the big opportunity for
the Veteran to have Strengthened out all his diff
culties of compensation and vocational training
and medical treatment right at home. 1t u.s. as
well, the chance of many to find out if they have
claims and if they have get them filed properly
SO that response will be satisfactory and immedi-
ate. To reduce trouble, delay, and expenses to
a minimum the Squad will furnish each disabled
Veteran who reprts at squad headquarters, with
transportation back home and meals and lodging
until his business is completed

NO REMEDY WHEN THERE'S NOBODY

HOME"-A fourteen year old girl in New Jersey
shot herself dead after her father had given her
IA whipping. Such tragedies OF sensitive imma-
turity'' says the New York Sun, seem beyond a
remedy"
1t does seem So OF course, man who will
strike person smaller and weaker than himself
is usually looked upon as a coward, and the law
not to speak about outraged spectators has been
known to attempt remedy for cowardice
But the main idea is this: A grown person is
supposed to have brains Mature brains if they
are any good at all, can easily exercise mastery
over the undeveloped brains OF a child and manage
that child. Thus person who strikes child
publicly admits that his brains are no better than
the child's and that it is necessary therefore for
him to use brute strength the. young one Sad
to say the law can't give man brains
No, there seems to be no remedy when there's
nobody home.'

readers will be asked to subscribe for the local

where they now live
In this way every home town paper will help
every other home town paper and by concentrate
ing the efforts to week, or to two or three
weeks or four weeks. the home town paper will
receive the publicity It is entitled to-
The home town paper is ever ready to boost for

of sitting on the side lines and hoern' for the
