SUGAR IN CORN BREAD

Southern people have differed

eran editor OF the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal. on many occasions and
on many issues, but there will be gen.

THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY
NEWSPAPER.

M. v. Atwood, Of the faculty of
Cornell University, and former
newspaper man, wrote a readable
magazine article not long ago on
THE Country Newspaper" in which
he said in part:
What IL to be the future OF the
country weekly? This rests with the
community and with the publisher.
II the community recognizes the VAL
NE and possibilities OF the country
weakly and is willing to pay what it
10 worth, and II the publisher realizes
his responsibilities to his community,
then its future is bright. 1t will have
an important part in building up a
satisfactory and wholesome rural
life.
First Of all, the country weekly
Of the future will be recognized as
. community institution. This means
It will be prosperous. The commu-
nifty will realize that It is unwise for
the community to have q newspaper
that is not prosperous.
The country newspaper OF the fu-
ture will not be sold as a newspa-
per, but az community service, just
as the telephone is service. No one
thinks a telephone rental Of from $12
to $50 year is high yet in the
service It renders the paper is quite
comparable to the phone; and the
telephone receipts can't he used to
put on the pantry shelves the way
old newspapers can. A country news.
paper is worth more than the $3.50
to 5000 usually charged.
The publisher. of course. will be
recognized leader. He will have
emancipated himself from the thrall-
dom of detail He will have cap
able girls who can do this sort of
work better than he can do II himself.
He will never find that he is unable
to attend the meeting of an imp0r-
tant town committee of which he is
chairman because he has to fix bal
Ky linotype of sulky press. II goes
without saying that he will have a
neat, well organized and systematic
ed front office.
The people of the community
will know, also. that they have a part
In making il a good paper. As one
country editor puts il. the country
weekly is not the product of its
editor. II is the combined product
Of its friends, readers and adver-
tisers. No country publisher could
ever afford to hire enough report
ers to cover his territory as inten-
sively as it should be covered And
II is we'll that he cannot. 1t is bet
ter for the community to feel its
responsibilities with the editor in
making a representative newspaper. +"
Mr.. Atwood's dream may never
be fully realized, hut he is right
when he says the country weekly is
Just what the people Of the commu-
nifty make it. II they take an inter-
est In 1t and give il good support, it
will be a credit to them. No editor
or publisher, no matter how hard
working or brilliant. can make good
newspaper in field which does not
support its local paper. II the local
newspaper is dull and uninteresting.
1t II because il gets that kind Of
support.
