Local Newspaper
An appreciation of the local newspaper
arid of what its editor does for his com-
munity is well expressed in an article we
have noticed in some of our exchanges
credited to ex -Governor Francis of Mis-
souri. Ex -Governor Francis, speaking
of newspapers:, said : "Each. year the lo-
cal paper gives from 5500 to $5,000 in
free lines to the community in which it is
located. No other agency can or will do
this. The editor, in proportion to means,
does more for his home town than any
other ten men, and in all fairness he
ought to be supported, not because you
like him or admire his writings, but be-
cause the local papers is the best invest-
ment a community can make. It may
not be brilliantly crowded with thought,
but financially, it is more of a benefit to
the community than the preacher or
teacher Understand me, I am not speak-
ing of Moral or spiritual values, and yet.
on moral questions you will find most
of the papers on 'the right side. To -day
the editor of a live local paper does the
most for the least money of anyone on
earth."

To Mr. and Mrs. Howard Stewart
Dear Friends:
We, your friends and co-workers of the
Bluevale Methodist church having learn-
ed of your intended departure from our
midst have assembled here to spend a
social hour. During the time you have
assisted us in the choir, and ail the work
in the church, your God-given talent has
been manifest to all of us, and the earnest
effort put forth by you to make the serv-
ices effective has been appreciated by us.
At choir practice, you were always
punctual,c•eerful and your company
was pleasing and inspiring. While sorry
to part with you, the best wishes of those
with whom you have so ably and unself-
ishly labored, will go with you to your
new home. As a slight recognition of the
services rendered and of the regard in
which you are held by alt of us We ask
you to accept this gift, and though insig-
nificant in itself, it shows in a slight de-
gree our esteem for you. We trust that
your future life may be one of endless
happiness, and that a kind Providence
may blees you with all the comforts and
blessings which this life affords. We
have no doubt you will shine in another
community as you have here. We now
bid you a fond adieu and trust that while
engaged in the same laudable work and
among varying scenes elsewhere, your
thoughts will occasionally revert to the
many friendsyou are leaving behind you
at Bluevale.
