OLD HOME TOWN PAPER
TO HAVE A WEEK
Nation Wide Campaign Launched for
November 7-12—Place in Commu-
nity Life Emphasized.
November 7-12 has been set as “Sub-
scribe for Your Home Town Paper
Week,” and this newspaper, together
with the thousands of country news-
papers the United States over—there
are not far from 15.000 of them, week-
lies and small dallies—Is to partici-
pate.
The purpose of the campaign Is not
only to Induce residents of the small
communities and the home town folks
who are fur from their native heath
to subscribe for the home paper, but
hlso to emphasize the Important place
Hie home newspaper plays In the life
of Its community.
This campaign has the henrty sup-
port and co-operation not only of the
newspapers but thousands of minis-
ters and school principals, and many
state agricultural colleges and farm
and home bureau organizations.
Some persons, It Is pointed out, have
been Inclined to belittle the place and
function of the country newspaper.
They have not realized that In renlity
the home paper la a community Insti-
tution and that It enables the ether
Institutions, such as -the church and
the school and all-the’ rest to function
better and more effectively. That It Is
a necessity If the town Is to advance.
During the time between now and
“Home Town Paper Week," Novem-
ber 7-12, tills newspaper in Its col- ■
tinins will have much to say about the I
Home Town Paper—not this newspa-
per In particular, hut the home town
jmper the nation over, the home tctva
newspaper ns a real and distinctive
factor In American life.
A Messenger to Garcia.
The local newspaper Is the mes-
senger to Garcia for your town. It
goes out to the world as nn advertise-
ment for the community. To be a good
advertisement It must be a good new*
paper. To he a good newspaper It
must have the support of the people
of the community In the way of sub-
scriptions and advertising. Are you
doing your part toward making your
paper a good arverttsement for this
cojnmunlty, one that will carry the kind
of a message the people of the com-
munity wish carried to the world? *

“No, I don’t take the local paper
any more,” one farmer said to ai-
oilier us they were wultlng at the
creamery to unload their milk.
They Imd Just been looking at a
poster advertising “Subscribe for Your
Home Town Paper Week, November
7-l£.” "I take a dally paper, and
that's about all I need. It bus a few
Items every week from our commu-
nity, and I feel that I save two dol-
lars a year by not subscribing to the
home paper.”
“Well, that's one way to look at It,”
said the other farmer, “but I’ve always
felt that a local newspaper was a
pretty valuable asset to any commu-
nity, and If everybody took the atti-
tude you do, there couldn't be any lo-
cal newspaper. Of course we could
not get along without our dally papers,
because they keep us Informed about
what’s going on throughout the na-
tion and throughout the world, hut
when you say that they take care of
our hx-nl news, I don’t think you are
sticking close to facts. They simply
can’t, and the publishers haven't any
personal Interest In our community
the way our editor has.
“I have always felt that I got value ,
received for every dollar I’ve paid out
In subscriptions to the local paper, and
I don't have an Idea that running a
country newspaper is any more of a
wealth-producing proposition than run-
ning a farm. So long as I’ve got two
•dollars I Intend that the rural mall
carrier Is going to tuck a copy of the
hone paper In my box every week."
That farmer knows that the com-
munity newspaper Is a necessity In
hls home; that without It hts home
would be incomplete and hls part In
the community would be unsatisfactory
to himself and hls family. He knows
the full value of the local newspaper
as an institution.
Misses Odelia Fritch and Ger-
trude Woods visited with relat-
ives and friends at Elk City last
Saturday and Sunday.
MILLINERY
I wish to announce to my many
friends and customers that I am
selling hats at my residence near
the Baptist Church as I have been
unable to secure a suitable
location down town. I will be
glad to have you call any time
and see what I have. You can
buy much cheaper here than at
other places.

The local newspaper Is the servant
of the community iu which It Is pub-
lished. but to be a good and efficient

It serves. It Is an Institution of the
town quite as much as are the schools
and the churches, and quite as much
entitled to support.
