At a meeting of the directors of the 1 Adame County Farmers’ association i last Saturday afternoon tree-gift corn I movement for Armenian relief was wndorsed. Mr. ITJoni, of Indianapolis, {was present and explained the plan. The association decided to assist in promoting the movement in this {county. 1 The general plan is to have the I lariners bring from 2 to 5 bushels of {ear corn to central gathering points. Elevators of the country are being {•asked to serve as places where corn I will be ‘received. The corn will be ! shipped to mills where meal tit lor shipping will be made from it. Rail roads and steamship lines will trans- ■ port the grain free otWharge. r i Starvation is now a very common {occurrence in Armenia and other . {countries of the Near East and 5 inili lion bushels of corn from the United j States is needed to stop this appalling death/ rate. Os this amount Indiana is to furnish 200 car loads, which i will mean that every farmer must eonj tribute some.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1921.

The Community Newspaper By 808 ADAMS. OF ALL the vheets from East to Wilt the local paper is the Lest. Deep is our love and deep our debt to Record, Journal or Gkaette. When first I lailtled on this ball, a bit of flesh wrapped 'round a squall, it welcomed me with joy and pride my life has never justified. It follows me my whole life through, with words nil kind and mostly true; and even kftnr I am haarsad 'twill toil my best and hide my worst. When in Oshkosh or Wickiup I wander homesick as a pup, or if in foreign lauds i roam, it brings mo pleas' ant news of home. Across Dug sands, across the sea, the old home paper comes to me. It io a friend both true o»d tried, and to it, gents, I point with pride; will hock my Sunday pants to pay up six years in advance. , ..... - - ... .-j FOUND HOME PAPER IN HEART OF .THE And Through It Peddler Learned That Family He Had Known for Fifteen Years Were His Relatives. “Publishing a country tn-wspafef reminds me of tossing a pebble into the ocenn. We never know hbw far tile circles wliich.it kef* in niofloifc will rduch." said Wililtson Manley, publishes of Tiie I’laimlealer of Canton, N. Y|, the other day, in epeakipg of “Sole stjrlbe for Your Hume Totu Paper Week,” which is to be observed the country over the week of November 7-i'J. "I had a goud reminder of tills net long fie. went on. - [‘‘One day thgre appeared' In the Pjaimlealer office a short, stubby, robdsffYnan of probably sixty. 1 knew iflb minute 1 saw him that he had come in from the big outdoors in some section. He told iue that he iiad taken tiie paper for many years, probably forty, e'er since he had left Canton, where he was born. He told me where I would line! the paper going, and I found it. His post office was is a little town way out in the Rockies. He said be had come back to the old town to live. He paid what he owed and a year over for good measure, and then be sat down and I knew something was coming. » Forty years in the Mountains. “‘Say,’ said he, ‘newspapers are great things. You can never tell what they are going to do for jou. 1 have been a peddler out In the mountains for forty years, making my trips, me and the little burro, about once In six months. There were a lor of long Jumps between hoffSßE* 1 TUP fifteen years I had been going out of my trail, abolit live miles to one side, to sell to a family that had moved in. You get rather well acquainted with people if you see Them once in six months for that long, so when 1 got there one afternoon and didn't find anyone home just the door unlocked, as all doors were there —I went in and made myself comfortable, and when supper time came 1 didn’t hesitate about hunting around for grub. And wiiile I was doing It I found a copy of the Plaindealer on the kitchen shelf, and one or two more around the ■ house the I’lalnilealer, mind you. the paper I was taking right from the old home town! And 1 wondered who these fifteen-year-old friends of mine were. I suddenly realized we had never talked over our pedigrees any. “‘When the family got home that •evening I asked questions, and what do you think? —that wife was a sort of grandniece of mine. Sin; hadn’t heard of her old uncle off stubbing around in the rocks of the Rockies, and 1 hadn't ever beard that anyone related to me had ever married and was out there living under another name. Your paper introduced us to each other. I Just thought you might like to know about It.’”

“Give Me a Chance To Think!” All right. That chance will be during the week of November 7th to 12th. During that week take a little time and go over in your mind the many things your home town paper has done—is doing—will continue io do —for your home town. Think about it seriously. Think whether or not you have stood loyally by at all times when the community’s champion 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 paper could do if each citizen were as loyal to it as it is to them. Think ot some one far away who would enjoy- the weekly visit from the-old'home town r ! paper, then hand in a subscription for that faraway friend. If you are not now. a subscriber, be one. “Subscribe for Your Home Fown Paper Week," November 7-12

mindly not ft mu any selfish uugle, but 'from* the broader viewpoint of national good. • Some three or four months ago there wax before Congress a bill on which the press of the country whs divided. Tiie magazines, the big national weeklies, the farm press and the metropolitan daily papers were on one side and the country niwspapers were on the other aide. The passage of the bill would mean creating an opportunity for a. greater centralization, of the mercbaudlslng of the nation in a few large cities with a consequent injury to the small cities and towns, utid to the people of these cities and towns and the farms surrounding them. The country press fought for tiiq defeat of the bill, and in the end of the committee in w hose hands the fate of the bill resteif listened to the country press because' they realized that the welfare of these country communities represented the best interests of the nation as a whole, ail'd the bill was killed. Im'tung our participation In the World war the country press stood stanchly and unselfishly k>ack of the nation. It did nothing to create dissension among tiie people,during the time of emergency, but it did carry to its readers a continuous message of patriotism and national unity. In each communityx jt wiped away much of factional lines, and created an atmosphere of intense Americanism that welded the American people together regardless of place of birth or ancestry. Value Not Always Understood. But the people of the cities do not always understand the value of the country press. With the Increased de-! iiiand for war supplies there came a demand for a decrease in the cotisumpti(l!i of the ordinary needs of peace time. Among the tilings the consumption of which must be cut was paper. A city man was at the head of the department that regulated tiie use of pajjer. ami lie felt it advisable to so limit tiie amount of paper available for the country press as to seriously cripple all of these pa-l-ers, and to have entirely closed many, of them. It was the privilege of the writer to present the case of the country press to this man, and it did not take Idm long to see that the government could not afford to in any considerable degree cripple an institution that represented so much of national good as did these country newspapers. Country Press Deserves Well. The country press deserves well of the people of the nation, and especially of the people of the country communities. Individually these papers may not be large in size as compared witli the city papers, but quantity is not the measure of their value. They arts worth both directly and indirectly far more than their subscription price. For that price they bring to you each week the news of your friends and acquaintances. To tiiose who have left the country home to go cither to the city or to some other country home, the country newspaper is a welcome weekly letter that keeps them in touch with friends and former associates. To those at home It 'carries the news of their friends and neighbors. It records the births and •deaths, the marriages, the coinings and goings of those in whom you are interested. It furnishes the medium of publicity through w hich work for a better and stronger community is maintained. It voices the consensus of opinion of the community to tiie representatives in the halls of the slate and national legislators. It is the paper of, for and by tlve people of the villages, the towns and the smaU cities. No country paper worthy of the name ever seeks the support of the people of its community on any other ground than that of giving more than full value for all that it receives. You aid yourself, yrntr community, your state and the nation when you support and read your own "Home Town Paper.”
