MEX’S not long ago that if the big city newspaper could get as cldpe to its readers as those of the country, it could have a three milhon circulation. “ But," the editor added significantly, ' It can t. That is why the country newspaper, which has haa its doom sealed again and again, continues to go on—because of its intimate, personal appeal to its readers. Abe Martin says that except for a temporary chairman, there is nothing under the sun so hard to stop as a country weekly, and he is right. The country - and small town see the value and need of their own little newspaper and so th<y will not see it die. “Subscribe for your home town paper week” has been set for November 7-12 to remind as forcibly as possible the folks of the home town-—and the home town folks who are many miles away—of the big service which the home town paper renders.
