PAPER REFLECTS TOWN

It is recognized that town may be rather acC curately judged far it's progressiveness is con- cerned by the way in which 1t supports its newspapers In other words creditable and prosperous looking newspaper may be safely taken an indication of live and entelprisng community.
 The reason is plain A live town naturally demands representative newspaper and there will always be found someone to meet the demands Almost without exception may De found that has just about good newspaper it deserves; sometimes better than 1t deserves.
 In this connection quotation from an address ta1y of the American Association of Advertising Agen- cies is to the point In the light of his many years of experience in dealing with newspapers, he says:
 il have been widely quoted saying that the vil age newspaper is the cornerstone of American ourn- alism. No one has disputed that assertion. Modern communities, large and small grow and prosper n the wake of their newspapers If their newspapers prosperous, retail business prospers and real estate appreciates in value.'
