Support Home Papers.

j The country press is an inseparable I factor from the forces that make up 1 our civilization. It is on and of the soil. It is the mirror of the human problems of its environment. It is more nearly the organ of public opinion than the mammoth journals whose strongest purposes are commercial. Every community owes the prime duty of support to its local press. If a man can afford to .take only one paper, he should take his home paper. The old Greek adage, “Know thyself," Bhould be expanded into "Know thy neighbors,” end the way to do that is to support your home paper. There is no better or more helpful asset to any county than a good newspaper, filled with neighborhood news and dealing with ail issues of common interest as the county press usually does terest as the country press usually does —fairly and honestly.
