EVERY LIVE COMMUNITY
The average local town paper Is
worth thousands of dollars annually
to its community for the free ser
vice it renders. As a constant boost
er Bnd promoter of local news and
information it is indispensable.
Did you ever stop to think what
you would do- without your homo
paper? This is not an idle question.
What would you do if your town
paper shou'd Indefinitely suspend
publication? ....... ...
Having no newspaper would mean

No; we just have to have our

"The t motive will always be

in dis doniestln hi'iors. "There are

any man in the outfit, is suffering
from a cracked heart he is guarding
his secret mighty well.
"Mix nil these elements together

about that impulse.
"The question our men are asking
it not 'Why am I here?' but 'When

A sergeant palliated and address

"I'd like to have an evening's

"How much pay did you draw to

Burr asked Abruptly.
The soldier grinned and replied:
