The Chehalis Bee Nugget announ
ces that it has reached the 33rd veal
OF its existence. The fact recalls
to mind that numerous local news
papers in Southwest Washington
have been published for a quarter o.
a century or more. They were often
founded amid difficulties under pion
eer conditions. They have gone about
their business of upbuilding their sew.
eral communities and have won the
affections of the people they serve.
Country newspaper publishers and
school teachers have always rendered
a public service for which they for.
merly obtained small rewards 1t is
good, in looking over the Southwest
papers, to observe that advertising
patronage is large and that the publ
cations are well printed and bear the
stamp of prosperity. Merchants evil
IDENTIFY realize the Importance of their
local papers. In return for the sup.
port of their citizens, the papers are
constantly improving. 1t is doubtful
if better local publications can be
found in any section of the nation
than those of Southwest Washington.
The Oldest paper in its territory
and indeed the Oldest in the state, is
the Olympia Standard 1t is now 5S
years old. and was recently trans
formed from weekly to daily by
its new editor and owner.
Shelton has record of another
kind. Grant Angle of that town has
the distinction of having owned and
edited a Washington newspaper long
er than any living man. He came to
Shelton when a young man with hat
full of type and much enthusiasm.
That was 35 years ago. He has own.
ed and edited the Mason County Jour
nal ever since.
Grays Harbor county has three
newspapers that have passed the rs

tonian, now edited by c. D. Mcclure;
the Montesano Videte, edited by Dan
Cloud, and the Elma Chronicle, edited
by Frank Jacobs, are all 80 or more

Both papers in South Bend, Pacific

years, and Ed Conncr's Willapa Har-
Dor Pilot was founded year later.
Many other papers in the South,
west have served their communities
for 10 years and roore, and all of
them give evidence of ability to con
tinue their growth and reach a good
old age.-Tacoma News-Tribune.
"SOME MAN."
Would you like to have your boy
turn out to be real 100 per cent
man physically as well as mentally?
Then don't shut him up in a hot
house of roses and keep him there un'
til he breaks away of his own accord.
Roses are a delight to the eye and
the sense of smell, but they do not
develop the muscle or add to the
breadth of mind.
Get him a ball and bat, a pair of
boxing gloves and punching bag.
Give him couple of Indian clubs
and teach him to swing them.
Encourage him to run and jump
and wrestle and leap fences.
Let his hours of recreation be
healthful and vigorous, and not of the
pink tea variety.
Teach him to fear God, to be low
ing, respectful and obedient to his
parents and mindful of the rights OF
other people, and you will develop an
ad alt who will be "some man."-Edi-
torial in Washington Standard, Olym'
pia, July 10
