TRIBUTE TO HOME TOWN PAPER WAS ONE OF WILL ROGERS’ BEST CHICAGO.—Some of the late Will Rogers’ philosophic and humorous pa rag rap ns will go down in literary history as mas terpieces. And perhaps one of the finest of these is his tribute to the "home town paper,” one of his last writings. "Take away my ham, take a way my eggs, even chili,” said Will, “but leave me my newspa per. Even if it has such purely local news as ’Jim Jones came home last night unexpectedly, and bloodshed ensued’ or ‘Jesse Busnyhead, our local M. D., is having one of the best years of his career, practically speaking —but they just won't pay him when they get well,’ ‘the nome towh 'was packed yesterday w,th prbtiiinertt people from out of town, attempting to renew their notes’ and ‘election ain’t far off antf everybody is up for office that can sign an application blank.’ ‘ ' “Now all that don't seem much news to you. But it is news to you, especially wnen you know the people and they are your own folks. So no matter how punk you may think your local newspaper is getting, why just take it away from you and see how you feel. The old newspaper I think, is just about our biggest blessing. "So let's all read and be merry for tomorrow, tne paper may not have enough ads to come out.’’ WOMAN SERIOUSLY INJURED Miss Helen Mitcham of the DllUng Mill was seriously injured Saturday light about 8 p. m. when she was hit by an automobile on North Pied mont avenue.
