A Word About the
Country Paper.
The average weekly editor
usually has his all invested in his
newspaper property. That invest
ment generally represents from
one to two thousand dollars. But
it is worth more to the town than
five times the amount invested in
any other local enterprise. .Asa
rule, the newspaper represents to
the outside world the town itself.
Poor paper, poor town, is the usual
verdict.
It is, therefore, to the interest
of every town to support a good
newspaper. Not through local
pride alone, but for practical bus
iness reasons. A newspaper is
constantly doing ten times as much
for its own town as it could ever
hope to get pay for—more than it
would charge for, if it couid.
The more prosperous a paper is
the more it is able to do. Show
us a good weekly paper, full of live
local ads., with a general circula
tion throughout the country, and
we will show you an up-to-date,
prosperous, progressive commu
nity. And we will also show you
a paper that is worth five times as
much to that community every
year than the editor manages to
make for himself.

of poor digestion, inactive Kidneys and other organs of elimination are
taken up by the blood, saturating the system with acid poisons and fluids
that ooze out through the glands and pores of the skin, producing an inde

crack and bleed, or give it a scaly, fishy appearance; again the eruptions may

sistently proceeds on the idea that
the editor of the home paper can
live on the “pi” that accumulates
in the office; whose official bodies
think it a waste of public money
to throw him a bit of public print •
ing occasionally at living prices;
whose citizens have come to re
gard it as one of their inalienable
rights to work him for long-wind
ed obituary notices ana “in me
moriams,” with three inches of
hymn book peotry at the end, to
say nothing of an occasional
notice about a lost cow or some
cotton seed for sale, and we wi'l
show you a community that is liv
ing from hand to mouth and is
always on the ragged edge of ad
versity.
People ought to stop to think
about these things. It is an im
portant matter. It is their own
good that is involved —the welfare
and progress of their community;
therefore of themselves indi
vidually.
A local newspaper is absolutely
necessary to any community. It
may be that the daily papers, with
their larger news services and
quicker facilities, may have over
shadowed the weeklies; but the
weeklies continue to fill a. place
that the dailies can never fill. If
they keep the people-of a coiimm
nitv in touch with each other by
giving them the news of their
town and county, for that alone
they are of value and worth far
more than the dollar a year that
is usually charged for them. If
they merely chronicle the progress
of the community and keep the
local pride and progressive spirit
aroused they are worth still more
—far more, in fact, than the town
ever spends on them.
Bear this in mind: No mer
chant, no grand jury, no town
council that spends every year all
that they can afford with the
home paper —whether that expen
diture is actually necessary or
not —makes a wiser, more profit
able investment. They are not
“giving” the home paper some
thing. On the contrary, it is earn-

provided it is a paper that is
worth picking up in the road.
And if it isn’t that sort of paper,
it is usually the fault of the town
in which it is published.—Atlanta

What the Bugs Cost.
We keep an army of 05,000 men
and have 254 ships of war. We are
ready to fight any nation on earth,
and yet the little potato bugs laugh
us to scorn. Ever hear of the big
United States suffering with the
grasshopper? Are we not powerless
before the gypsy moth? The bug
family taxes this great country
i $350,000,000 a year, but in the un
' equal tight between the nation and
the bugs the latter ever remain un
conquered. The worms that attack
the cotton plant assess the farmer
SOO,OOO ;t year. The potato bug
eats $8,000,000 worth annually out
of our gardens. The chinch hug
cost- us $100,000,000, the Hessian
fly $50,000,000 and the grasshopper
$90,000,000. The big United States
hasn’t enough money or men to win
any war with an insect. —Atchison

New Use For Carborundum.
Carborundum, the artificial substi
tute for emery, which is said to rival
the diamond in hardness, is now
employed, because of its extraordi
nary resistance to heat, as a coating
for the interior of furnaces. Fine
ly powdered and made into a paste,
it is applied with a brush like paint
io the brick lining. It is said that a
layer only two millimeters thick will
project the bricks from the effects
of the highest temperature that is
ever produced in ordinary furnace
combustion. Carborundum is itself
a product of the electric furnace,
being composed of silica and carbon
fused together in the presence of
■-alt and sawdust.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
A Little Trick You Can Play With a
Nickel and a Match.
Get a long match, the longest
you can find, and break it almost in
two in the middle. If you bend it
carefully, the fracture will not be
complete, for the two parts will be
held together by a few t’bt'rs of the
wood, even though you bend them
so as to form an acute angle.
Now lay the bent mutch on top of
the mouth of a bottle, and on it
place a nickel coin. What you have
to do now is to cause the nickel to
drop into the bottle without your
touching either it or the match. Ap
parently this will be hard to do, but
you can easily find a way if you put
on your thinking cap and recall
what you have learned at school
about the effect that moisture has
on wood.
You catch the idea, of course—all
you have to do is to let a few drops
of water fall on the place where the
matcli is broken and wait. Present
ly you will see the two parts of the
mutch move of their own accord,
trying apparently to resume their
former straight form.
This motion of the two parts will
keep up until they have a wide
enough space between them for the
coin to drop through, when, of
course, it will fall down into the
bottle.
The secret of the trick is that the
water makes the wood swell, and the
more it swells the more the two
parts tend to straighten themselves.
Y r ou do not require a bottle to
perform the trick, for the match
will trv to straighten itself on any
thing that is smooth, like a pol
ished table or a china plate. Of
course, a smooth surface is neces
sary to prevent fsiction.—New York
