writers. "Our goods should be car-

Little wavelets lapping up on the
seashore always precede the great
tidal wave that sweep* everything
before it.
It is so in community life.
In each community there are a1
few who are always promptly activej
in every good movement. They are!
the little waves that never rest, that
are ever creeping up on the beach,
advancing and recedinr, iuresaantly
on the move until they create the
great wave of public sentiment that
moves irresistibly on to victory and
achievement.
It is the mass of quiet citizen*
who constitute the bulk of that pub
lie sentiment, it Is the citizen who
possibly thinks that his own individ-
ual opinion has but little influence
upon community life. It U the one

A CIVIC BOOSTER PAPER
Simple, very simple

and Its the way the uninspired don't
want It Just now.
don't know much about ship-
ping, but we do know a little about
taxation—of which we are having an
ungodly amount
Subaidlilng the shipping interests
would mean millions more in taxes,
and the people would have the priv-
ilege of groaning louder and harder,
when the time comes to pay.
It is the sincere desire of this
newspaper to bo known as a civic
booster psper—as an advocate of
everything that t* for (he upbuild-
ing of our town and community.
We want to win our way into the
hearts of our readers, not by being

marily, but by atandlng for the prin-
ciples of progress and community

We want our customers and pa-
trons to support our business not be-
cause they belong to the same party
as we do, but because we are striv-
ing to accomplish something of per-
manent value in the community.
We want our friends to understand
our purpose for being here, and to
“Give Me a Chance
To Think!”
All rltht
That chance will be during the week of No*
vember 7th to 12th.
During that week take a little time and go
over in your mind the many things your homo
town paper has done—is doing—will continue
to do—for your home town.
Think about it aeriously.
Think whether or not you have stood loyally
by at all times when the community’s champioB
has needed financial and moral support.
Think whether or not you have always done
your duty by the town’s best friend.
Think how much better your home town

It as it is to them.

WHO MAKES THIS TOWN?
It Isn't any one man. or any half
dozen, or dozen. It is every person
in the town, a* well as those who
make a practice of coming to town.
We have citizens who are so mod-
est and retiring that they imaglnen
their influence is of no value, or
ha* no weight—that It makes no dif-
ference to the town what they do
or do not do.
They are mistaken.
We have become eo accustomed to
the progressive citizen that we ex-
pect to bear from him on any sub-
ject of any Importance. We would
be more or leas nonplussed If ho
did not come to the front
But it is the action of the quiet
and retiring element that adds Im-
petus and put* real life Into a move-
ment for elvic improvement. They
may not aaeume to be leaders, but
We are sure that every forward-
looking citizen of Pryor i* gratified
to learn of the Improvements In tbe
way of sidewalks and curbing now
being constructed along Main street
We feel certain (hat this Is but tbe
beginning of better thing* for Pry-
or. The principal shame of our town
has been tumbled down buildings
and streets devoid of sidewalk*.
This vear ha* been one of awaken-
ing. Many old shacks have been dis-
mantled Repairs have been made.
Vacant lots have been better ctred
tor. Now begins tbe movement for
more sidewalks
When we mention new sidewalks
or improved streets the average tax
payer begin* to figure up what the
coat will be to him individually. Tbe
benefit to himself and to the com-
munity le not so much taken into
consideration. The time has come
when w» must take tbe latter view-
point.
It Is too late In the season now
to think of permanent street Im-
provements or extensive sidewalk
building But it la not too late to
to talk about the value of such ac-
tion next spring.
The winter months will give peo-
ple of Pryor plenty of time for think-
ing this matter over from the stand-
point of community welfare. They
will have an opportunity to plan
wl.at they are going to do towards
making Pryor a better place In which
to live. There are more Important
things to be considered than the
mere piling up of dollars and cents
By all means lets ua begin In the
spring to continue the program of
improvements already befun In Pry-
or, and extend It to include perma-
nent improvements of our streets.

Back to Town Criur
How many residents of any email
community have ever considered what
might happen if there were no news-
papers) Just previous to "Sub-
scribe for Your Home Town Paper
Week," which Is to be observed the
country over November 7-12, Is a good
time to recall the plight of Macou,
Mo, not long ago, when fire put the
Chronicle-Herald out of business for
two weeks.
According to Tbe Publishers' Aux-
iliary. the old town crier, relic of
many years back, wat yanked from
his hiding place, dusted off, and put
back ou his Job. with a Jangling hell,
a megaphone, 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
it* announcement* of auctions, sales,
court sessions, births, marriages,
deaths, epidemics of sickness, dog or-
dinances, hoard meetings, commence-
ments, tax notices, advertisement*
of help and situation* wanted, acci-
dents, and the rest, through a shouted
word like that of the ordinary train
announcer In a city depot. Tbe town
crier was * romantic figure iu hie day,
but few town* would like to return to
his ministrations now.
When one thinks of the temporary
plight of Macou, and that It might
become the permanent handicap of
many towns. It is well to think of sup-
porting the local paper.

Here are some random observation*
ot a man who has visited and studied
a good many small communities; If
you read your local paper you will
not miss much that is happening
around home. There is no uae saying
that you wish your town had a paper
like one In the other town, for the
other fellow Utere la saying the same
thing. The man who reeds bis local
paper thoroughly is usually a pretty
good citizen and has It all over the ]
fellow who does not. Local papers
when all b said and done, do more to
uphold the institutions of this state
and country than any other known
contributing force In the world's work. 1

"No, I don't take tbe local paper
toy more," one farmer auld to an-
other as they were waiting at tbe
creamery to unload their milk.
They had Just been looking at a
luster advertising “Subscribe fur Your
Home Town Paper Week, November
112." "I take a dally paper, uud
that's about all 1 need. It has a few
Item* every week from our commu-
nity, and I feel that I save two dol-
lar! i year by not subscribing to the
home paper.”
"Well, that'* one way to look at 11,"
•aid the other fanner, ''but I've alwaya
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 |va|iera,
because they keep us Informed about
what's going on throughout the na-
tion and throughout the world, but
when you say that they take care of
oar local 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
tbe way our editor has.
T have always felt that 1 got value
received for every dollar I’ve paid out
la subscriptions to the local i wiper, 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 it going to tuck a copy of the
home paper in my box every week."
That farmer knows that the com-
munity newspaper Is a necessity In
bit home; that without it his home
would be incomplete and hi* part in
the community would be unsatisfactory
to himself and his family. Hu knows
the full value of ihe local newspaper
ai an institution.
A Community Servant.
Tha local newspaper is the servant
at tha community in which it la pub-
lished, but to be a good and efficient
servant It must be fed by the [«ople
It serve*. It ia an institution of the
town quite as much •« are the school)
and the churches, and quite as much
entitled to aupport.
A Necessary Luxury,
The town newspaper la both a lux-
■ry and one of the family necessities.

Fear Annoyanee For Arm* Meet.
It Is yet undecided whether or not
congress will adjourn in order not to
be In section during the first month at
the meeting of the conference ou llml-
ta'lon of armament*. The President
apparently wants the lawmaker* to
stay in session,
Tiiere are Iu congress today some
' men who would like to keep thlnga
running while the conference Is at the
beginning of its work. There are only
a few of these men. hut some of them
•re Influential and some of them may
be expected to plead with tbelr fellow
members that for safety reasons In
their home districts they should op-
pose uny adjournment. "Safety In
their homo district*" means thnt some
member* of the house have large
hodie* of rouxtltuent* who would like
to storm the national legislature In
behalf of some land or other over the
sea* at a time when the conference Is
trying to get settled down to work.
The lenders know tliut tbe country

ful, and they fear tliut If bodies of men
come here to march up Capitol Hill
with a demand for Gils or a demand
for that, the effect will he Irritating
to some of the conferees wbo are act-
lug in behalf of foreign governments.
Of course, congress, under the Con-

that time the members feel the confer-
ence will be well under way nud that

Italy and ths Navy Question.
It has been supposed heretofore that
ihe discussion of the reduction of the
navies of tbe world would concern It-
self almost wholly with the attitude
of Great Britain. Japan aud the Uni-
ted States. It may be that Italy will
have something rather strong to any,
<>r, at any rule to Intimate quietly, con-
cerning action on the limitation of
navies.
France never has shown any anxiety
concerning the navy situation. France
believes today that Great Britain and
the United States have a friendship
fur her which will protect her coast*,
and she feels that ahe has enough
ships of her own to do police duty in
her various non-contlguou* possessions.
Trance is concerned almost wholly in
armament limitation* matters within
her army.
Italy seemingly want* to ke*p a
avy as big us that of France. Thera
- no particular friction between the
1 wo countries, but each has north Afri-
can possessions and, moreover, Italy
