WORTHY OF SUPPORT.
Importance of the Local
Newspaper to the
Community.
To everv property holder, ev
ery tax payer, every politician,
every farmer, every citizen, the
local newspaper is of vital im
portance. To these persons the most im
portant news matter is that con
cerning local affairs, for local
happenings are what affect them
socially and commercially and
to keep informed on these mat
ters is most necessary to their
persoual success, if not to their
individual comfort and welfare.
The property owner has inter
ests which are vitally affected
in a number of ways, by public
improvements, which may mean
increase of tax rate assessment,
and the know. edge of who the
local officials are and what they
are doitig, is most important to
the property owner and tax pay
er The citizen of a town is lia
ble to complain that his local
paper does not pubish enough
foreign or outside matter, say,
ini? that he knows all the local
happenings so wants to read
about other matters. And yet
not a week will pass but this
same comiUimng citizen will
read something in his local pa
per that is of the utmost import
ance to him to know, as a citi
zen.
Tn estimate the value
of the local paper to the
iarmer, would be impossible and
yet very many farmers will send
money away from home to get a
newspaper, and not subscribe to
to their home paper.
The politician who is wise
knows the value of his local pa
per, its suppnrt and friendship
being of immense value to rum.
It is the full acquaintance and
knowledge of home affairs that
makes up the good citizen, and
it is equally true that the good
citizen of the community is the
Hbei al supporter of local insti
tutions' and no local institution
is so worthy 01 his support, as
the home newspaper. New
