It is not an act of charity to subscribe for your home paper, but on the contrary a Teal business investment that is certain to bring returns. It should be a matter of pride to aid the editor in his aeffort to upbuild your home community. Remember that your home paper is your representative that goes all over the country reflecting your town’s condition. If your homa paper has not the announcements of your business men, others will guage the progressiveness of the town in which it represents. If the home paper looks like a half starved hound for the want of advertising space taken it shows your business interest don’t care. The Memorial Day exercises held here last Sunday was well attended and all „enjoyed the program very much. The band music, the ladies’ quartette and a male quartette added greatly to the enjoyment. Short addresses were made by Father James Mclntyre of the St. Joseph College and Rev. Abel, pastor of the M. E. Church here. All enjoyed the addresses, only they were too short. The Rev. Mclntyre was an over-seas chaplain during the world war. The Primo was very appropriately decorated. The work of all the committees was surely done well. The entire exercises were a splendid tribute to the bjys that wore the blue in the trying days of 1861-65.
