A> N DEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
A TOWN’S BEST BOOSTER.
A writer in a current maga
zine observes “if the newspap
er is just a little better than its
town, the latter is the gainer
thereby.”
Towns and their newspapers
usually lag or lead together.
Progressive journalism is the
unfailing tonic of the lethargic
community, but it is equally
true that a lifeless newspaper
may seriously retard the devel
opment of its community.
There is no better community
asset than a home newspaper
equal tftthe needs of the com
munity. While a poor news
paper is better than none to
the individual reader, that does
not hold true for the town.
What can a good newspaper
do Jor its community? It can
serve as the town’s messenger
to the outside world. It must
take the leadership in all com
munity projects if they are to
be succesful. It is the infallible
line of communication between
local government and citizen.
It is to the newspaper that all
organizations turn for assist
ance in public welfare move
ments and without that assist
ance they face failure.
The newspaper reaps the re
ward of its initiative by shar
ing in the general improve
ment of business and commun
ity affairs it has been instru
mental in bringing about. The
good newspaper deems it a
pleasure to serve its commun
ity and its readers and is fully
aware that it is only through
giving a full measure of ser
vice that it can progress and
prosper.

YOUTH AND ADVERTISING
Fifty years ago boys and girls
were adept at weavng rag
rugs, knotting quilts, carding
owol, spinning homespun and
stretching carpets. Today boys
and girls know the entire abc
of the automobile, the electric
household utensils, the steam
heat system, the aeroplane and
the radio. But the youth of to
day knows little of what con
stituted the store of knowledge
of the youth of yesterday.
The omniscience of youth in
every era is ever amazing, but
that of today would be inex
plicable but for one thing more
than all others. That is adver
tising. In the newspapers, mag
azines and poster boards chil-i
dren are finding a vast store
house of practical and useful
information and instruction, j
The value of this incidentally i
acquired knowledge can not;
be measured in classroom
hours. The youth of America is
finding that advertising pays
it.
Psychologists have expounded.
the theory that truths are,
sometimes observed first by the
adolescent. In the case of ad
vertising it may truthfully be
3aid that there are some of
mature age who have not yet
learned the value of advertis
ing. Advertisers do not buy
newspaper, magazine and bill
board space for the edification
of the public, either juvenile
or adult, but they recognize
the children of today are not
only a potent factor in the
business of today but the de
ciding factors in the business
of tomorrow.

SPRING
Spring has arrived with its;
one thousand and one one sug- j
gestions. For all, it suggests!
surcease froip the rigors of a!
heartless winter. And for some
its suggestions, or a few of
them, are house-cleaning in
the offing, vacation-time ap
proaching, new automobiles,
old automobiles to be over
hauled, Easter clothes to be
shoppd for by some and paid
for by others, last year’s straw
hats and summer Suits to be
rediscovered, garden seeds and
faint dreams of fair harvests,
automobilihg, "parking spark
ing," opening of the baseball
season.
Spring is one of the neutral
seasons of the year. The other
is fall. Winter has its irrecon
cilables and summer its rank
partisans, but spring strikes a
happy medium. You can dread
winter and adore summer or
you may have a preference for
winter over summer and re
tain a warm regard for the
intermediate seasons.
Those who are reminded by
spring of the hot weather to
come should find solace in the
thought that the coal man
must live on his interest for six
months and those who are
concerned over the wear and
tear the new balloon tires must
soon undergo have the conso
: lation that the strain on the
rugs and furniture at home
will be relieved.

“Marital vacation” is euphon

Hot air and cold feet are

The only safe side to any arg

If ignorance were bliss, ev

You can’t uplift people by sit
ting down on them.
If one wasn’t bom every min
ute this world would be a dull
world.
Having to swalow insults is
very hard on a man’s digestion.
Many hands make light work,
and many hands make light of
work.
Lots of times the loudest yell
comes from the man who didn’t
vote.
No matter how independent
wives may get, they always let
hubby pay the bills.
Such strange things are hap
pening these days nothing

BOOHS AND BOOZE
“Booh!” said the playful hus
band, for the third time that
evening, as he met his wife in
the darkened hall. This time,
however, it happened to be a
visiting neighbor and, “I beg
your pardon,” he finished
lamely.
“Don’t mind him,” said the
wife. “He’B full of ‘boohs’ to
night.”
“I’m used to it,” answered the
neighbor. “My husband’s full
of it, too, most of the time.”
Noel M. tells about a young
fellow who was working for a
Jew merchant. He hit the boss
