The Town Newspaper There is, after all, no newspaper in the world that means so •much to one as his own town paper.•, The ''daily, with its flaring headlines and its sen- sational news coming red-hot off the wires, that tells us what is happening in the great outside world, is a• very necessary visitor to our breakfast tab- les. But there is another known to us, where the way each acts his part in the drama of life is a matter of per- sonal interest to all, where eieicness,' anddeath, losses and accidents arouse something deeu er than the passing au_ T,7ie town Who trades at.lionae in- stead of'by°anail Order saves both pos- tage 'and prestige, Slowly but surely the newspapers of she ,coilntry are passing.. Scarcely: a week but sees one or two cease pub- ligation, especially' ; in the smaller towns and villages. This is due larg- ely to the very high cost of`produet- ion both in the matter of wages and material, which are continuallyon the increase,—Ailsa Craig. Banner.
