Every business man in Hayti
should remember this paper cannot
be what it should be, and represent
every interest of the community with
out the cordial support of everyone
interested in the place. The more
advertising in these columns, and
the more paid-up subscriptions on
our books, the more able we are to
employ good men and advertise the
town far and near. If it can be said
that no better local weekly paper Is
published in the State of Missouri
than the Missouri Herald, it will add
a prestige to this community we
could not otherwise have. We shall
strive to do our part, and we put it
up to you to do yours. What do we
hear you say?

USE YOUR PHONE.

We don't like to apologize for
of newspaper and shall not, but
this being an issue of explanations
on our part due to the several in
novationS we have undertaken, it
is perhaps due us to say that ow-
ing to the uncertainty that we
would receive our new newspaper
heading in time for use this week,
it was difficult to prepare copy for
the change we expected to make,
and, therefore, little or no compost
ton could be done at the usual
time. While the heading was drawn
in this office, by an attache of the
office, the engraving had to be made
in st. Louis, the plate not being re-
ceived until Wednesday morning,
since when practically all of our copy
and composition has been produced
This also accounts somewhat for our
shortage of local news, as our limited

of this town fail to use their tele-

the news. If what you do isn't
worth reporting, tell on your neigh.
