Mrs. Smith to Mrs. Brown.
“What?” asked Mrs.

“But it was in the Home

“No,” said Mrs. Brown,

"Can you tell me the dute the Bap-
tist church burned—I mean, of course,
the famous tire that all the old Inhab-
itants talk about?"
The librarian looked up from her
work. "No, 1 can't tell you the ex-
nct date, but I think I cbm find It for
you quickly, for we have the files of
the local paper since It wus started.
My Impression Is that the fire—the big
fire, as they call It—was about 1873,
and It won’t be u very long Job to look
it up."
She went to the stacks In the rear
of the library, pulled out a dusty
bound volume marked “Herald, 1873,"
and spread It open on the table. “Ah,
here it Is," she sahl, after u minute
spent In turning over the yellow leaves.
The person who had Inquired for
the dute, a member of the woman’s
club of the town, sat down and read
the urtlcle. “This gives me exactly
the Information 1 wanted," she said.
"I thought It would," sold the libra-
rian. “I feur most people do not ap-
preciate how valuable Is the local
newspaper from the viewpoint of lo-
cal history. In fact, It seems to me
that It Is about our only source. Only
when an event gets Into print Is It
officially recorded and tiled for refer-
ence. Flimsy as it Is, the printed
word of today Is the counterpart of
•he ancient stone Inscriptions that give
us our recoids of a long-ago yesterdu.v.
I consider the bound volumes of our
local papers perhaps the most valu-
able possession of tills library."
There’s at leust one librarian who
Is giving “Subscribe for Your Home
Town I’aper Week." which will he ob-
served November 7-12, the most hearty
backing she cun give.
“No, I don't take the local paper
any more," one funner said to an-
other ns they were waiting at the
creamery to unload their milk.
They lind Just been looking at a
poster advertising “Subscribe for Your
Home Town I’aper Week, November
7-12." "I take a dally puper, and
that's about all I need, y has 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 newspnper was a
pretty valuable asset to uny commu-
nity, and tf 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 jtlie world, but
when you say that they take care of
our local news. I don’t think you are
(ticking close to fact*. They simply
can't, and the publishers haven’t any
personal Interest !n 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 ttiat running n
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
home paper In my box every week."
Thnt farmer knows that the com-
munity newspaper Is a necessity In
his home; that without It his home
would he Incomplete nnd his part In
the community would he unsatisfactory
to himself and his family. He knows
the full value of the local newspaper
as nn Institution.
OLD HOME TOWN PAPER
TO HAVE A WEEK
A Community Servant.
The local newspaper Is the servant
of the community In which It Is pub-
lished, hut to he a good and efficient
servant It must he fed by the people
tt serves. It Is mi Institution of (he
town quite as much ns nre the schools
and the churches, and quite as much
entitled to support.
A Necesi-ary Luxury.
The town n'». (paper Is both a lux-
|ry and one of the family necessities.
Nation Wide Campaign Launched for
November 7-12—Place in Commu-
nity Life Emphasized.
November 7-12 has been set ns "Sub-
scribe for Your Home Town I’aper
Week," and this newspaper, together
with the thousands of country news-
papers the United States over—there
are not fur from lfi.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 nre far from their native heath
to subscribe for the home paper, but
also to emphasize the important place
the home newspaper plays In the life
of Its community.
This cnnipnlgn has the hearty 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
und home bureau organizations.
Some |>ersons, it is pointed out, have
been Inclined to belittle the place und
function of the country newspnper.
They have not realized that In reality
the home paper Is u community Insti-
tution and that It enables the other
institutions, such os the church and
the school and all the rest to function
better and more effectively, Thnt It Is
a necessity If the town Is to advance.
During the time between now and
"Home Town l’aper Week," Novem-
ber 7-12, this newspaper In Its col-
umns will have much to sny about the
Home Town 1’uper—not this newspa-
per In particular, hut the home town
paper the nation over, the home town
newspaper as 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 us nn advertise-
ment for the community. To he a good
advertisement It must be a good news-
paper. To he a good newspaper It
mast 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
puper a good arvertlseinent for this
community, one that will carry the kind
of a message the people of the com-
munity wish carried to the world?

A FINE OLD HOME PAPER
(Tune—A line Old English Gentleman )
These magazines with gravure* and
all these works of urt,
Are very well for city folks who live
by dint of mart;
But give me first und foremost. I hold
It Is the prime—
Thnt fine old home town paper—one
of the good old time.
The printin’ Isn’t perfect, the luk’s
not uniform.
The type is set by hand perhaps,—
considerably overworn,
The dear old press—1 know It well—
It’s covered o’er with grime—
But It prints that old home puper—
one of the gold old time.
I look for It each week as regularly
It comes,
And when the postman brings It In, I
drop all other chums,
I drink it In, from start to fin, ridicu-
lous und sublime.
That fine old home town paper, one
of the good old time.

Jones Is putting In new pumps,
My girl chum Ims got married and the
kids have got the mumps.
Juck Wlltsey’a built a lean-to, John-

Oh I I love the old home paper, boya,

Back to Town Crier t
; # # a • a a a • a a a a a a • a * a a • ■ • .*>
How m-ny residents of uny small
community have ever considered what
might happen If there were uo news-
papers? Just previous to "Sub-
scribe for Your Home Town Taper
Week,” which Is to he observed the
country over November 7-12, is a good
time to recall the plight of Macon,
Mo., not long ugo, when fire put the
Chronicle-Herald out of business for
two weeks.
According to The Tuhllshers’ Aux-
iliary, the old town crier, relic of
many yeurs back, was yanked from
his hiding place, dusted off, and put
back on Ills job, with a Jangling bell,
a mega plume, and a fog-horn voice only
a little worse for long disuse.
It may have been a novelty for two
weeks. But think of a community
without printers' Ink, compelled to get
Its announcements of auctions, sales,
court sessions, births, marriages,
deaths, epidemics of sickness, dog or-
dinances, hoard meetings, eomineuee-
merits, tax notices, advertisements
of help and situations wnnted, acci-
dents, nnd the rest, through a shouted
word like that of the ordinary train
announcer tu a city depot. The town
crier was a romantic figure In his day,
hut few towns would like to return to
his ministrations now.
When one thinks of the temporary
plight of Macon, und tbut It might
become the permanent handicap of
many towns, it Is well to think of sup-
porting the local puper.
He Knows Hia Folks.
Here are some random observations
of a man who has visited und studied
n good many small communities; If
you rend your local paper you will
not miss much that Is happening
around home. There Is no use saying
that you wish your town had a paper
like one tn the other town, for the
other fellow there U saying the same
thlqg. The man who reads his local
paper thoroughly Is usually a pretty
good citizen und has It all over tha
fellow who does not. IxK'al papers,
w hen alt is said und done, do more to
uphold the Institutions of this stats
and country than any other known
contributing force In the world's work.
Random Observations.
This Isn’t a country publisher talk-
ing, hut the editor of a farm paper.
The metropolitan dully will bring to
one’s doorstep the news of the world
seen through the spectacles of the city
editor, hut It is the editor who Uvea
in the heart of the community who is
able to reflect the sentiment of the
local group. He ulone Is the true
Interpreter of events ns they street
the small town and the funning com-
munity that Immediately surrounds Lbs
town.

MOTHER. QUICK! GIVE
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
FOR CHILD'S BOWELS
Even a sick child loves the “fruity"
’axte of “California Fig Syrup.” If the
llttlp tongue is coated, or if your child
Is listless, crovs, feverish, full of cold,
or tins colic, a teaspoonful will never
full to open the bowels. In n few
hours you can see for yourself how
thoroughly It works all the constlpn-
tlon poison, sour bile and waste from
the tender, little bowels und gives you
• well, playful child again.
Millions of mothers keep "California
Fig Syrup" handy. They know a teu-
spoonful today saves a sick child to-
morrow. Ask your druggist for genuine
"California Fig Syrup" which has di-
rections for huhles nnd children of all
ages printed on bottle. Mother 1 You
must say “California" or you may get
an imitation fig syrup.—Advertisement.
HAD NOT BEEN ON HER MENU
Scotswoman Might Reasonably Be Ex-
cused for Not Knowing How to
Cook the Confetti.
A traveling fair had visited the little
Muntry town, and a fete had been ar-
ranged, and a flower show, anil every-
fhing pointed to a very gay day to he
Mi.loyed by all.
Farmers from far and near were ex-
pected to come Into town, ami iniicli
trade was expected to be done by
local tradesmen.
due of the leading shopmen went to
tin- nearest city to buy a supply of staff
to sell during the fete. His wife stayed
tt home to attend to the shop In ills
dimmed.
The first thing that he bought was ii
juuntliy of confetti. He sent thnt home
*)y carter overnight, und wired to Ids
wife as follows:
"Am sending 100 pounds of confetti.
Watch for It."
Next day he received this wire from
Ids wife.
“Confetti Is here. How (lo you cook
It?”—Glasgow Scotsman.

Success and Failur*.
“I met Barrie,” said an editor, “at
a dinner party In London. Wlint a big
head lie's got, to be nure!
“ 'Sir James,' 1 said nervously, toy-
ing with the stent of my wine glass, 'I
suppose, Sir James, that some of your
plays do better than others? They ure
not all successes, I Imagine?'
"Barrie leaned his Idg head on Its
little thin neck toward uie. ills sau-
cerlike eyes twinkled.
" ‘No,’ lie suhl, ‘some I’eter out and

"Come, come,” said the Judge at last.,
“you know you cannot make yourself’
out to be u Hungarian."
"Perhaps not,” said tlie lawyer, “but
I have made n great deal of money
out of Hungarians In my time."
"I:i that i-nse.” suggested the Judge,
“supiaise we call you a Hungarian by

Why should you follow
a crooked path ?
Often a cowpath has been allowed to become
* village street, and as the village expanded,
tradition has made the winding way an expres-
sion of a cow’s will.
'Habit is always forging chains to enslave us,
ao that what has been found bearable by the
fathers is accepted by the sons.
Who cannot recall the coffee-pot Mother put
on the stove early in the morning, warning ue
not to let it boil over?
As children, we were not permitted to drink
tea or coffee, because it would stunt our growth
or make us nervous and irritable. When older,
however, we craved a hot drink with meals, and
custom gave us our tea or coffee.
Finally upon tne instructions of the doctor.
Mother gave up her tea and coffee. But that
meant nothing in our young live*. Our vitality
was then strong enough to throw off any ill effects.
But our time came, and we learned by ex-
perience that we could not drink tea or coffee.
When we had it for breakfast it put our nerve*
on edge. When we drank it at the evening meal,
we tossed about in wakefulness most of the night.
And then we found Postum, a pure cereal
beverage, free from the harmful drug, caffeine, in
tea and coffee. We liked the rich, satisfying flavor
of Postum—and also the better health which re-
sulted. And, too, we were surprised to find how
many of our neighbors had made the same dis-
covery-had learned the value of “health first.*
Postum comas In two forms: Instant Postum|in tins)
made instantly in tha cup by tha addition of boiling water.
Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who
