There ie nothing that calls at-
tention and draws people to a
town equal to a good newspaper
In order fora man "to make a
good newspaper he must have
the patronage of the people
among whom he lives If he
has half-way support it stands
to reason that he must make a
poorer paper and in doing this
every man in the town and sur-
rounding country has to bear
a portion of the loss Fpr this
reason if for no other the man
who tries to make a good news-
paper should have the support of
his town people all of whom
reap fully as much benefit from
its efforts as he does himself—

Down where the old gas well
is the farmer on the land got
more than eleven bales of cotton
off of the eleven and one-half
acres surrounding the well That
land is practically the same as
hie other land which did not
yield near so much He attri-
butes part of the large yield to
the fact that during July and
August he kept the gas burning
and says that it burned millions
of bugs and moths It seems to
us that coal oil or gasoline torch-
es could be used in all the fields
at a small cost during the sum-
mer months and they would do a
great amount of good -

The “Squeal of Treason” says
"Socialism win make it so enrv
family can own a home fro of
indebtedness How many of ysa
ar denied this priveiege undsr
th capitalist system!”
It may be that many have not
“homes free from indebtedness”
under th "present ivstem” but
it ia mostly because they do not
try to clear them especially in
this thinly settled country How
many socialists who have noth-
ing now and who art in debt
would have anything and keep
out of debt under any pther ad-
ministration T What they ought
to be taught ia to quit grumbling
and gb to work" How can any-
one join in with such people as
moat of them are-thoe who' do
hot want'to work but have a
kick against anyone pho is able
to make something?
Itaeema that the campaign is
going to be another “mud sling-
ing” campaign on the part of
some of candidate! Wa think
that it ia about time to get away
from those old habits Hen
should run on their merits and
not the other fellow’s demerits
