No other agency does so much to foster and encourage the community spint as the local paper. It has above whole community as its main business. seldom takes into its scope the wel- fare of the whole community. Year in and yedr out the local pa- per speaks the word of encourage- ment and praise for all that is being done to benefit the community. Good lives and good deeds receive recog- nition in the local paper as they do nowhere else. The big dailies 'record the big news --the war, the great tragedies, and scandals, the startling events of all kinds. The local paper 'keeps the home fires burning," It seldom re- ports tragedies or startling events, but confines itself to the daily routine of interest which makes up the life of the people who are its subscribers, Sometimes it is petty in its news, but it must be remembered that every item is of interest to some person or group of persons. Few people really appreciate the valve of the local paper nntil they are at a distance and wish they could get a bit of "news fron home." A Rut in the Road Arut in the road is a highway cancer. Inis a centre of mud in- fection. From it radiates ruin to the road. Every wheel that jolts into it increases the disease by the depth to which the water has soaked. Every clod thrown out of it enlarges the basin and raises its margin so as to increase its capacity for holding water The little rut 1s the beginning of high- way evil. That 1s why the King road drag is the best tool ever invented for the earth road. It very nature re- quires its use when the ruts are small. It packs the surface and puddles it into a waterproof condition, and the more it is used the better it becomes. | The Split Log Drag Naaman the Syrian was' a leper. He bad holes and ruts and scars in his body where the disease had eaten him away. «His ease was serious; and he wanted to be cured. A 'little Jew: ish girl told him of the great prophet, Elisha, who effected great cuges, 'and Naaman went to him with a royal train, camels laden with presents; etc. You see he was prepared to do big things to get rid of that disease.
