Every one loves a booster but every one Is
not always ready to boost for his booster
The booster is supposed to boost because he
likes to do' it — and in a great measure that is so
1 The greatest booster in history however — v
the home town paper — must combine with the
natural liking for the boosting game the re-
wards the simplest rules of business requires

The editor of you home town paper likes to
be appreciated just as you like to be appre-

Every one in this town and community will
have an opportunity to show appreciation for
