Newspaper*/-imd Community Gossip.
|i;,vThe newspaper 1h
justified by the uni-
versal ' d'etre of the
people for informa-
tion' as to, what
others are doing.
Ouviqpity- about one's
fellow ta-eatures is
common to every'one
iiud iutelligfUt peo-
ple seek jelJjibie means of satisfying
thai, .'curiosity.'; .This is nothing, to- be
ashamed of, hut is'a1 laudable human
tiafty TB^'WwHpaper Trf?? to "satis-"
fylj'hat curiosity in a dependable way.
Rumor is exaggerated with every tell-
ipg. Tjie newspaper sometimes falls
■inerror because its;reports are. too
frequent ly based oh rumor that is ac-
cepted as truth. Most papers make con-
scientious, e Worts to verify all-rumors,
but those persons who repeal oral tos
sip or rumors never or seldom take
the trouble-to substantia tie t|ie state-
ments they pass on to .others. * Under
the anonymity of "They Say," almost
any kind of si-anda'I grows worse with
(every., t.elliiig. By publishing- the.
truth arid becoming known for' it-j
truthfult\ess, a newspaper becomes a
Community safeguard against many ill-
founded rumors.

Commun|ty" Correspondence Valuable,
.Every community owes it to itself
to be represented in its local press
both for community advancement and
I for (rommunity protection. If the copi
II munity—has no paper .of its vurv„..owB\
j it' "should t be -represented in a news
j.Way in Witf paper that circulates in its
) community., A .good .community cor-
respotiiicrit i . a ^valuable, asset to any
neighborhood in keeping that, com-
jmuaity accurately represented in tlie
local . press. People have more pride
in their neighborhood and take a
greater interest in community activ-
ities when (beykiiow that they will
be properly represented in the press.
Yet few neighborhoods are ;well repre-
sented by local press correspondents.
Those that are not, should, hold mass
meetings and arrange to secure proper
newspaper representation for their
communities This-paper-will always
be .glad to co-operate in publishing the
news of any neighborhood in its terri-
tory. The difficulty is in getting cor
re.spirmtehts Who are able and. willing
to supifly the news. The cojumunitiesTs
not, represented could wrII afford to
nee to t hat. . ■ ■ . ! .

Community Pride Is Needed.
The best country newspaper is the
paper that best satisfies' the public de
sire for information as to what is go-
ing* on in its territory. The best coip-
mnnities in city, town, or country are
those that take tlurgreatest pride in
what is going on, The only available
medium for showing pride.in local af-
fairs Is the local newspaper. The place
that fails y to support,^the1 local press
eitln# in the matter -of finances or
news is a place; that has no solidified
local -pride, a place that is indifferent
as to how ,it appears.to the rest of the,
world Indifference as to what , the
public" "thinks of a place soon results
!u"a' general run-down . appearance,
just as personal- indifference on the.
part, of an individual as to his.appear-
ance results in slovenliness. The slov-
enly, .indifferent town, neighborhood,
or Individual soon comes to be
shunned. Apply the test to your com-
munity and see if you are really show-
ing; the world that you are proud of it.

Is well, not so much because a person.

Prohibition a Safety Measure.
, One of the best arguments I have
heard in favor o£ prohibition Is that
under th^ old , liguor laws, with \the
present crowded condition of automo-
hn«"t!raffic, life would hot be safe for
anyone. The automobile is dangerous
wheii driven by a person entirely
sober but is a menace with h. drunken'
man or woman at the steering wheel.
Tlie country will hardly go back to
