TO say that the newspaper should
say something about it. The aver
age citizen knows he could run
a newspaper better than the edit
or, and if he were publishing that
sheet, he'd show 'em, you can bet.
But if he has horse sense, he
would do just as the editor does
put the soft pedal on family rows.
church squabbles and such mat
tiers of minor proposition which
YOU lack the courage as time
goes on. Don't expect the long
suffering small town newspaper
man TO advocate or attack any
proposition which you lack the
courage TO support or attack over
your own signature. The local
paper is willing to push any pro-
ject in the public interest, but it
is not willing to pull chestnuts
out of the fire for individuals or
minorities.-Marshfield Times.

The Home Town Weekly

| read the daily paper-read the
state and foreign news, of the
doings here and yonder, and of
leading statesmen's views. Read
of wreck and fire and murder,
baseball, politics and crime, mar
riages and births and dyings, all
the happenings of time. Read
the whole edition over, from the
first page to the last, news and
comments, facts and fancies,
things to come, things of the
past. Then aside ] thrust that
paper, for it's no more good to
me; half the things that I've read
over soon my memory will fly.
Then | get the home town week
ly, and with keen and eager eye,
read the news it has to tell me,
news that's never dull or dry. For
the news that's in that paper tells
of folks | know and love, folks
who are both friends and neigh
bors, folks whose goodness | can
prove. Tells of school and church
and college, lodge and society
and store, town improvements,
councils doings, squibs and per-
sonals galore. Having read this
good town paper, read and swell
led with pride, ! crank up my
ancient flivver and through town
and country ride. Far away
sometimes it takes me, into other
towns and states, where | may
take notes and figures and civic
estimates. Then returning to my
roof-tree, call neig h b or
to my side and declare
so help me, Hammer, here ! ever
will abide" And with each re-
turning Thursday, eagerly | watch
and wait, for the postman who
is bringing the old weekly to my
gate. Oh, | must have the great
dailies, magazines and trade re-
views, but the only thing that
makes me happy is the home
town weekly news.-J. H. Lari-
more, associate editor, Public

American Cob Pipes.
Copyright. 1917

A MERlCA gave the world tobacco
and it has also given it the corn
cob pipe. About forty million corn
cob pipes are manufactured yearly in
the United States and most of them
are turned out in Missouri. The
American corn cob pipe is smoked on
the streets of Cairo. the streets of
London. throughout South Africa. and
smoke goes up from it all over Aus
tralia.
This age is roundly and soundly de-
nounced as the age of luxury. the age
of extravaganza. the age Of riotous
living and the age Of reckless waste,
yet the corn cob pipe. symbol Of early
American simplicity and old-fashion-
ed democracy. or republicanism, con-
tinues to give it's consolation to the
world. 1t is surprising that the corn
cob pipe survives. first because it is
so old-fashioned, and. second. because
it is cheap. 1t is the American meer-
schaum."
Probably there are more brier pipes
tndn corn COO pipes Uut the corn COO
pipe is made out Of corn cob and the
brier pipe is not made out Of brier.
The real French brier and italian
brier pipes are made out of the roots
of the heather. the "pur-r-r-pul hay
ther," Of which Harry Lauder sings.
Heather grows abundantly in Europe.
about as abundantly as sage brush
and greasewood in the western coun-
try. The French word for heather is
"bruyere." pronounced "brue-yaire."
The English in speaking of the bruy-
ere bowl Of a pipe came into the hab-
it of calling it brier pipe. and it is
brier pipe today. though it is made Of
the root-wood Of the heather, re-
markably light, hre-resistant, alb
sorbent and often beautifully grained.
It is not naturally brown. but Is of
light color-just the color of fresh
chopped wood. perhaps a shade darker
than pine when it is first cut. The
pipe bowl is stained to the shade Of
mahogany because pipe smokers have
formed the habit Of considering that
the proper color for a pipe. OF
course, il you should buy pipe the
