Winding up the football sea-
son with a bang, the Deport
High Tigers defeated the Coop-
er team 14 to 6 on the Cooper
gridiron Friday. The game had
been postponed from Thursday,
due to the heavy rain, but the
Cooper field was in fair shape
on Friday.
The game was a battle from
start to finish and both teams
were held almost to a stand-
still, and each team scored on
Cooper’s passes. Earl Nance
intercepted two of CoopeFs
tosses and converted both into
touchdowns after long broken
field runs. Skaggs scored the
extra point on one and Lawler
on the other. Cooper scored
when one of their long passes
evidences of its decay and backwardness to all local ap-
pearances, but'there is one thing that will let the cat
out of the bag in spite of everything that can lie done
about it. The newspaper is the mirror of the commun-
ity, and if the town is dead, its gaunt, grinning skeleton
will stare out at you from every column from the banner
head line on the front page to the last-local on the back
page.
That does not mean that the newspaper is dead.
Far from it. Some of the livest newspapers in the coun-
try are published in towns that are not entitled to any
kind of a news medium whatever. But that condition
does not exist for long, because a newspaper is a busi-
ness enterprise as well as anything else, and if it is run
at a loss, in time, it too, will of necesity fail. And a
newspaper cannot run without advertising patronage.
The cost of news production is probably higher now
than at any other time in the history of journalism,
higher because more is demanded. Whether a newspa-
per is paying or not, it must give the news.
Many people think if a newspaper has a large num-
ber of subscribers it is a paying proposition. But such
is not the case. Circulation is a costly feature of the
business. If an editor can secure enough out of his cir-
culation to maintain the cost of keeping it, of clerical
work and collections and securing and maintaining the
business, he is lucky. • There is no profit in that branch
of the business whatever.
So it takes advertising to make a newspaper. The
cleanest and newsiest newspaper possible without ads
denotes a dead town. If the local business people are
not liberally represented in the advertising columns of
the local newspaper, it is a reflection on the enterprise
and progress of the community.
A merchant pays his merchandise bills because he
wants to stay in business and to do so he must maintain
a good credit rating with the broker and the manufac-
turer. He pays his rent so he will not be thrown out of
his building.. He pays his light and gas and telephone
so his utilities service will not be cut off.
But he keeps up his advertising for the simple rea-
son that it. is good business to do so. He knows that he
must have a constant turnover of merchandise, that
~\ styles are constantly changing, that new goods must
come in, whether the old is sold or not, that his profits
will dwindle unless a constant volume is maintained, and
he knows that nothing but continual, practical advertise
ing will keep his business moving and enable (him to
show a profit at the end of the year. So the local news-
paper filled with ads of all local business concerns re-
flects the image of a live and growing town, and that is
the kind of town in which people like to trade.
