A word about store decorations. The
committee has entered contract with Fill
more and Bradbury for street decorations
to be put in place August 10 and left up un-
til August 25. This firm has also given us
price on uniform store front decorations
which will include our Jubilee emblem on
a three by four foot banner with flags and
other decorations to amply fill the ordinary
width of front at price of 1925.
For those larger fronts additional pieces
can be added at slight increase in price. It
us hoped every business place in the city will
use this service which we feel cannot be
duplicated at the price, if you must buy
flags and bunting.
This service includes hanging decorations
and taking them down after the celebration.

person or institution to which you pay the
small sum of So year.
You expect your newspaper to give you
all the news for SO weeks. That's what you
pay So for, but:
You expect your newspaper to take the
lead in advocating changes for the better
ment of the community.
You expect your newspaper to expose
graft in public affairs, to forestall it by pub
fishing itemized accounts of all public
moneys spent
You expect your newspaper to advocate
obedience to the laws of organized society.
You expect your newspaper to maintain
a high standard of morality, supporting
things that are wrong.
You expect your newspaper to boost for

umn after column to propaganda supporting
community celebrations, school activities,
home talent plays and dozens of such causes
and events
You expect your newspaper to boost TOR
good roads and protect your communlty's

You expect your newspaper to build up

tions and protect home investors from max
ing unwise investments of surplus funds,

No, it can't be done for that. The money
you as a subscriber, pay for this paper, COW
ers less than one-fourth the cost of publish
ing the paper. The other three-fourths must
be paid by advertisers
Since the advertisers pay large share
of the expense of publishing your newspaper,
don't you think you owe them the duty to
patronize them whenever they offer you
equal or better values than non-advertisers?
And you, Mr.. Advertiser, don't you
think in view of the many services which the
newspaper performs, for which the news
paper derives no compensation, but which
means more business and more profit to you,
the newspaper deserves your advertising
business? Make your community newspaper
medium and YOU help build up the commune.
