editors of the big daily newspapers
of the land:
There was a time during which
tie small-town newspaper seemed to
be smotering under the increasing
circulation of the big city dailies.
The city daily does not and cannot
devote space to matters of immedi-
ate interest to those in small towns
and on the farms. While the great
wall of news that eonfrOnts us is
made up of stones and bricks fur
nished by the big city papers, the
ehinks and the cement will ever be
furnished by the little hometown
papers news from nearby commune
ties.
Every town owes it to itself to
encourage a good, enterprising, wide
awake, progressive newspaper. Such
are worth far more to
the town than the town usually real
ICES BY supporting the hometown
paper l mean not only subscribing
to it and reading it, but also help
ing it to get the news, by using it
as medium of public discussion,
and by patronizing its advertising
columns. In too many instances
The good local paper is taken as a
natter of eourse--about as we con-
Iider the act of eating when meal
line comes. The town which does
lot properly support it's local news
'aper is a pretty barren place. God
,ity it,"

OUR LATEST STUNT

Well have to mark up one more
great achievement to the credit of
Uncle Sam. He is now operating a
regular mail service, on a 34-hour
schedule, between San Francisco
and New York, and carrying letters
by airplane. Something like $4,000
letters can be carried safely on each
trip by one of the giant airships.
Citizens of Mountain Home have
been reading for sometime that the
government was experimenting
along this line. but we feel sure few
of them realize that the air mail
route has only been opened after
five long years of planning. Land
ing fiel4s had to be bought and
equipped, repair stations set up,
lights and signals worked out and
means provided for sheltering and
feeding the flyers. Now all this is
completed, and a regular service, for
those who are willing to pay extra
to have their correspondence speeded
up, is a permanent part of our postal
department.
Ere long an 'airplane MALI letter
will not be a novelty here, and those
of our people who have learned that
in this fast age few things are i'm
possible will not be surprised when
they hear that regular airplane pass
enger routes are also being opened
up. If mail can be carried safely by
airplane, then why not passengers?
OF course there will be thousands
afraid to trust to that means of
transportation, but most of us can
remember that when autos first came
out thousands were afraid to ride in
them. But the fear soon wore away.
just as it viii wear away in the
case of airplane trips And a dozen
years from now, or less time, you'll
have your choice of going from one
point to another by auto, train or
airplane.

AS a general rule your neighbors
in Mountain Home are not out to

most of our anger and irritation is
due to putting the wrong kind of
construction on words and acts
which do not exist. Don't walk

PLAINS BY FLAMES
Americas Department Aided in
Extinguishing Fire in Old

Fire last night destroyed a two
story brick building in the business

over $1,000. His entire loss is COW
cred by insurance.

ed whether they are covered b. in
surance. The total damage will
amount to approximately $4,000.
Between the hours Of ten and
eleven Mr.. and Mrs. VIII Kennedy

the building were awakened By the
cracking of the flames and dense
smoke. Hurrying into their clothes
they managed to escape from TIE
burning building just before a long
wooden stairway, the only exit
leading from the ground to their
floor was burned away. They inn
mediately summoned help and many
people turned out to give them aid.
A strea moi water was played on
the burning building bat the fire
had made such Roadway that this
did not prove very effective. The
Americas fire department was cali
ed and they responded as quisk as
possible. They were Handicapped
in getting to the fire by the bad
stretches in the road that is new
being paved. Arriving on the scene
the Americas fire fighters threw two
streams Of water into he fire and
within an hour they had the blaze
under control, But for their quick
response in answering the alarm it
# certain that the entire business
black Of Plains would have been
wiped out.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The full
measure of the Republican victory
at the polls could not yet be tax
en- early today but the returns con-
tinhed to show that President Cool
idge would have at least hundred
votes to spare in the electoral col
lege and the largest popular plurali-
ty in history.
The showing made by John W
Davis remained unchanged through
out and although Senator LaFol-
lette began to creep up a little in
one or two western states, there is
no certainty that he will receive the
electoral vote of any state group
except that of Wisconsin.
With Montana, votes, Nevada,
8, New Mexico 5, and North Ia
kota S classed as doubtful, the
presidential figures in the electoral
college stood as follows:
