A LESSON the Newspaper has NEVER FORGOTTEN! Newspapers, even the biggest of them, all started by being close to the Interests, wishes and tastes of the people. They all started small, with limited cap- ital, and those that deserved to grow, grew. News- papers were not started by tremendoug aggregations of wealth in Montreal or Toronto with an "idea" to put over or sell. And many of the men who are suc- cessfully editing or publishing papers today started a% boys--as printer's devils--in a country weekly office. Newspapers have never forgotten that people want to read news about the people they know--their neighbors.
