OLD HOME TOWN PAPER
T. TO HAVE A WEEK
Nation Wide Campaign Launched fsr
November 7.12-Place In cormu.
nifty Life Emphasized.

November 7-l2 has been set as Sub
ecr1be for Your Home Town Paper
Week." and this newspaper, together
with the thousands of country news
papers the United States over-there
are not far from 1900 of them, week
lies and small dailies--is to particl-
pate.
The purpose OF the campaign Is not
only to induce residents of the small
communities and the home town folks
who are far from their native heath
to subscribe for the home paper, but
also to emphasize the important place
the home newspaper plays in the life
of Its community.
This campaign has the hearty sup
port and cooperation not only o: the
newspapers but thousands Of minis
ters and school principals, and many
state agricultural colleges and farm
and home bureau organizations.
Some persons, II is pointed out, havs
been inclined to belittle the place and
function OF the country newspaper
They have not realized that In reality
the home paper is community insti
tuition and that 1t enables the Other
institutions, such rs the church and
the school and all the rest to function
better and more effectively. That 1t Is
a necessity If the town is to advance
During the time between now and
'Home Town Paper Week." Novem
ber TIP, this newspaper in its col
umns will have much to say about the
Home Town Paper-not this newspa
per In particular, but the home tow
paper the nation over, the home towr
newspaper as real and distinctly,
factor In American life.

sense Of duty, stimulates ambition,
gives courage to face adversely. for
titles against yielding easily to temp

gestiveness that you will find on al
