There is a fellow in this commu ifity (you all know him well) who does not take his home paper. He saves a dollar a year, in a way, but this is what it costs him: He gets hie news second, third, or even fourth hand, and even weeks after it has occurred, always stale, and usually garbled beyond rec ognition. He knows little of Die mercan tile opportunities that are offered in his home paper each week, and because of the absence of this in formation he often pays more than is necessary for what he buys. He knows nothing of many of the important events that are to occur until they have passed?and it is ton late. He is never posted on town, township or county affairs, his knowledge being limited to what others in their generosity may choose to tell him. Doee it pay him to hold onto that dollar that would pay for bis home paper a year! W. 0. V. Memorial Notice. Elm Camp No. 328, W, O. W. will observe Memorial Day Sunday June 6th, 1915.
