this way: He came into the paper
office Monday morning with what
he called a news item" 1t was
in reality a write-up of his marri-
ed daughters second child's
birthday party in a distant town.
We agreed to print it for him.
Then he asked if we had some
old papers he could use under a
carpet. We gave him an arm
load.
He wished to know next if we
had some old scraps of card
board that his daughter could
use in her school work. then we
gave him some.
Then he asked for a copy of
last weeks paper. We gave him
that.
And then he asked what we
would charge him for 500 printed
letterheads. We told him. That's
too high" said he, I'll use a
rubber stamp
And then we killed him and
tenderly deposited the remains
in t h e alley back of Jones

OUR APOLOGY TO
is. SWENSON

Last Friday the 25th of Sep
tember, the editor of this paper
was tried in Judge Charles NJ
Pray's Federal court at Great
Falls on an article published ir
this paper on April both relating
to one j. S. Swenson, United
States Post Office Inspector
Judge Pray imposed fine on us
Of $250.0O and remarked that 9
retracted statement should be
published.
The editor, at the time he gave
publication to the article did moi
know the true facts Of the case
and published statements that
were detriment to Mr.. Swenson
which we are willing to make
amends thru our columns.
At the time this story was Civ.
ca publicity, it was not fully our
intention to do injustice to Mr..
Swenson, but it was done in SYM
pathy with those whom we thot
were beneftting the Kevin oil
field and the public in general.
Our apology to Mr.. Swenson
follows:
in the article of April 30.
1925 published by this paper, re-
fecting upon the character and
conduct Of the United States
Postoffice Inspector, J. S. Sven
son, who was then engaged in
the discharge Of his duties in the
investigation of the Cor d o n
Campbell case then pending in
the United States District Court
at Great Falls, for a violation of
the postal laws, the editor of this
paper, in publishing the article
does frankly admit that he had
never previously met Inspector
Swenson and knew nothing a.
bout him personally. The article
was furnished by another who
vouched for same. We have since
made a thorough investigation
and find that this information
was utterly false and this paper
sincerely apologies for the arti-
Gle and trusts that its patrons
may take the result of the edit
or's investigation as the truth
and in summarizing such result
we say that Mr.. Swenson has
been falsely accused by the arti-
Gle and that we have found him
to be high class and competent
Government officer whose char
acter is beyond suspicion or re-
proach."

HOME TOWN PAPER
Is VERY NECESSARY

That the home paper is a re-
sponse to a real need and that
the community press will live de-
spite all handicaps is pointed out
in a recent article in Fourth Es-
tate which says:
1t has been said that no insti-
tuition not founded on a funda-
mental human need can live. The
reverse Of this is also true,
points out t h e Wenatchee,
(Wash.) Sun. This is why the
home newspaper, as an institu-
ZION, has survived many things;
the onslaughts of individual op-
position, the increase Of paper
and printing costs, the peril of
unpaid subscriptions, the uncer-
tainty of advertising patronage,
the problems of its own profess
ional competition, and the haz-
ards Of its own mistakes.
Through all these the home
paper will live.
When subjected to the test Of
whether the home newspaper
could be done without, there al
ways follows the inevitable reac-
tion of whether the people of the
community want to do without it.
The more than 1900 daily,
weekly, semi weekly and tri-
weekly newspapers of the United
States and Canada stand as proof
of the important service the
newspaper renders in its local
field of circulation.
The newspaper is not an in
vention, nor is it fad or a fancy.
1t is a growth a development
made possible by the cooperative
and receptive spirit of the peo-
pie themselves because of the
need for the transmission of
news and as a circulation medium
for advertising the products of
the community and Of the world.
But the home newspaper is ev-
en- more than this.
1t is the echo of the communi-
ty's voice, a spokesman Of the
community's mind, a reflection
of community s vision; a cham
pion of the community's rights,
and direct avenue for the com
munity's progress.

The purpose of the Hartsough-E Elm
stein experiment will be TO discover
whether CAVITY acts instantaneously.
or whether it merely travels with the
speed of lights. The Einstcin theory
requires that gravitational impulses
should travel at the rate of 10000

Of light. Some astronomers. however,
hold that gravitational impulses have
an infinite velocity-that is to say.
they act over boundlcss space with
