Paper SuSpends,
People Losers

Editor Curtis Burns Of the
Coffee Greek Herald, last week
announced suspension Of his pa
per, after nine years of exist
ence. It had to be in face Of the
conditions which have been bear
ing down with exceptional
weight upon the printing and
newspaper business in Montana.
We predict the Coffee Greek
community will soon reaiize the
handicap imposed upon them by
the suspension OF their paper. A
community without q Newspaper
is like a man without the power
Of speech. The Coffee Creek
Herald was q big factor in the
affairs Of that community and
was in all respects worthy Of the
name and the community it
served. It always spoke firmly
for those things which stood for
progress and held in view only
the welfare Of the people in the
community. We regret to learn
Of it's passing and express the
hope that some day it may be
revfved-Fergus Co. Argus.
