J. Deachman4• The town weekly is coming into its. own. It has made a great im- provement in the last few years. This much is crystal clear to any- one who knows these publications and•the men who 'make thein. Time was, I .am. 'sorry ,to ,say, when the town paper was a more or less shabby sheet. 'Men drifted into they business through impulse rather, than .,understanding. ' A business- man who missed the boat, a, teacher who quarreled with the trustees, a preacher, who for onereason ori, anothei, fell ' out of the pulpit; -•,all these and more sought joy and expres- sion in the publishing business. • They knew little of printing, less tib•=� A;hcyW._:e::,•alirst . ignorant of prices, costs and col - . ..s.,,;.

Any goon—tows and the area around itprovides a news field which -is the inat- viral monopoly of,he local paper. With this oT. course goes .the job printing work of the area. Some towns have became stag- nant in the last few years, but I have a prevailing idea that the towns .,of Canada will stage a come -back. The farmer,• too, will come into his o'wn and get a larg er share of the national' income: These events will help the town .paper,enlarge its --held make it;: -- .Stronger 'than it ever was. before. There is no reason why these desirable eventsshould nothap-, pen within the next few years. The town has many advantages. Costs of • living are less—costs of • production; in 'many `industries,, are, lower than in the. cities. There is on the averageha:hiighe;r level. of human happiness in the' town . than in` the city. :The revival , of the town may be, one of the not- able events. of the ,latter half of. this century.
