It is evident that most of them do, because local newspapers are prospering more than ever before. But the local newspaper is by most people accepted as a matter of course without a realization of its true value to the community, says the National Republic and continues : f 2 Mrs. Raymond Clavey was hostess to her luncheonâ€"bridge club at her home on Second street, Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. John Beck of Fondâ€" du Lac, Wisconsin, Mr. and Mrs. Herâ€" bert Beck and son Richard of Chicago were guests of Mrs. E. H. Wiliman, Sunday. Mrs. E. P. Osterman was taken suddenly ill at her home last Friday afternoon. She is getting along niceâ€" ly. Mr. and Mrs. Reagen and son Euâ€" gene of Austin were guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Steffis, Sunday.

Articles for publication must reach the editor by Wednesday noon to insure appearance in current issue. _ 8. â€" â€" _ J Resolutions of condolence, cards of thanks, obituaries, notices of enterâ€" tainments or other affairs where an admittance charge is published, will be charged at regular advertising rates. If there is a project on for the location of a new factory, the local newspaper is called on to boost the plan by showing what a beautiful and what a live community ours is. If new improvements are sought or new buildings are constructed it is the local newspaper which gives the encouragement and anâ€" nounces the proud fact of achievement to the world. It is in the local newspaper that the local merchants acquaint the people with the goods they have to sell. The metropolitan paper keeps us in touch with the world but cowers too wide a field to boost our community or the merchants of our home town. "Out yonder stands a locomotive on a railroad track," he said. "Everything about it is in order: water in the boiler, coal in the tender, engineer at the throttle, but it can‘t move. All it lacks is steam. Remove the newspapers from the state, take away the steam, and this state, any state, would sooy be a commonwealth of idle people with its credit gone. Weeds would grow in the streets, our farmers would look for pastures newer, mapafacturers would depart from us and our people would seek new fields of labor." All of which is of course true. The metropolitan paper is all right in its way. It brings us the news of the nation and of the world at large. But the home newspaper is a part of us, a part of us, a part of the lives of the people themselves. It brings them the news of their neighbors and friends, it boosts the community in which they live and helps to promote its progress and its prosperity,. Without the local newspaper the community would indeed be like the engine without steam. There is something else to be said, too. The wise editor of a home town paper is one who realizes full well that‘his home community and the news of the home community should come first. If the home town editor secks to pass lightly over home affairs and to ape the metropolitan paper, his newspaper loses much of its value to the contttunity. ~The home ought to appreâ€" ciate its local newspaper®and the editor mukt give to the home town a local newspaper worthy of the community‘s support. Most of them do. That is why they are on the upâ€"grade all over the country.
