NOME TOWN PAPER WEEK.

People Of the United States will be
afforded an opportunity during the
week Of November 7th to 18th to ex-
press In concrete form their gratitude
to those men and women, who through
sunshine and rain, prosperity and ad-
versity. persistently and consistently
sing the song Of the home town. The
time long since passed when newspa-
pera, whether daily or weekly, can sub
sist on the taking It for granted"
spirit Of Its patrons and well wishers.
Costs Of producing newspapers today
have not decreased in anything like
the proportion experienced In other
lines and figures quoted recently by
daily and weekly newspapers through
the country have given the public .
glimpse into the expense Incidental to
conducting the home paper.
To the newspaper men and women
Of each community has falleL the task
of presenting the current events Of q
fast-moving world In accordance with
the modern ideas, more or less extraya-
CANT, and keeping a smiling counte-
nance and a courageous heart when
others are prone to talk "hard times. !"
Their loyalty to the state and their
community has undergone a severe
test but they met It with optimism and
only a little reflection is required to
show how much worse conditions might
have been before the turn in the road
was reached. had they pursued differ
ent course.
Advertisers had to keep advertising
whether they could pay promptly OF
not and business had to be kept 60
ing for the general good. The pub
lishers and editors did their part and
the second week In November 10 pro.
claimed time when those who bene-
ated BY this policy can express It ID
terms Of support that will insure the
future Of the small town paper, the
backbone Of every community that has
the semblance Of pride In itself and

HOLLY MARKET REPORT.
rHE HOME r1NKERERs

A merchant reports that there has
been much demand of late from
householders for tools with which
to work about their places. Many
people have become tired of the
high cost OF having work done. and
are now attending themselves to
little Jobs OF repairs. Thus they
save costs. and develop their own
ingenuity and mechanical skill. AS
result hammers, screwdrivers,
lawn mowers. paint brushes, etc,
have had an extra good sale.
The home tinkerer takes more
pride In his dwelling than II he had
to depend on hired help. He is in
cited to make little improvements,
to remove disorder and beautify his
grounds. Every householder in
Holly should develop the habit of
home tinkering.

Arrangements have been completed
for refitting the old hose house on

took up with Capt. L. NJ. Hart, COM

that the building will be ready for
occupancy.
Ever since the organization of the
Quartermaster Corps in the winter
of 1920, drills have been held at the

he is known to all, said:
II would like to see league

would not be successful here. The
only place we have for playing is City

for the game would be almost pro-
hibitive with the high prices still
prevailing. Only two games a week
could be playesk:with two away from

possibly pay, for Augusta would only
