had helped to bring about. When the
paper FIRST appeared the town was small,
its streets were mud holes, vice and graft
we're rampant, schools and churches were
few and scarcely building was of more
than two stories. The newspaper itself was

money. Twenty four years later, as the
edition shows, the newspaper occupies its
own sixteen-story building, which it is
already outgrowing, and the city, with
population Of 2as 900 inhabitants, has all

streets, parks, good governments, abund-
ant schools and churches, comfortable
homes and an imposing business district.

This town was tagging far behind in cisic
advancement, its roads were poor, IT'S
schools antiquated, its business section
woefully behind the times, and its parks
and public buildings shabby Worst Of all,
its affairs were in the hands of those who
seemed entirely lacking in desire for i'm
provement.
Conditions like these might have daunt-
ed the brayest. But an editor is NOT just
one man; he speaks through his news
paper. When the proper spirit animates il,
a newspaper is host of men, for it mobil-
izes the best citizens of the community
into force for progress. So in issue after

sistently and constantly conferred its ef-
forts to awaken the whole community to
