Here are some random observatlona
of a man who bus visited mid studied
a good many small communities: If
you read your local paper you will
not miss much that Is happening
around home. There la no use saying
that you wish your town bad a paper
like one In the other town, for the
other fellow there Is saying the same
thing. The limn who rends his local
paper thoroughly Is usually a pretty
good citizen and lias It all over the
fellow who does not. Local papers,
when nil is said nnd done, do more to
uphold the Institutions of this state
and country thnn nny other known
contributing force in the world's work.
Figure out your every automobile re-
quirement and you will find it in a Ford

NOU’RB INWED
How many residents of any uuiall
community have ever considered what
might happen if there were no news-
papers? Just previous to "Sub-
scribe for Your Home Town l*a;ier
Week." which is io he observed lhe
country over November 7-12, is a good
time to recall the plight of Macon.
Mo., not tong ago. when fire pct the
Chronicle-Herald out of business for
two weeks.
According to The Publishers' Aux-
iliary. the old town crier, rede of
many years back, was yanked from
his hiding place, dusted off. and put
back on his job. with a jangling bell,
a megaphone, and a fog-horn voice only
a little worse for long disuse.
it may have been a novelty for two
weeks. But think of a community
without printers' ink, compelled to get
Its announcements of auctions, sales,
court sessions. births. marriages,
deaths, epidemics of sickness, dog or-
dinances. board meetings, commence-
ments, tax notices, advertisements
of help and situations wanted, acci-
dents. and the rest, through a shouted
word like that of the ordinary train
announcer in a city depot. The town
crier was a romantic figure lit bls day,
but few towns would like to return to
bls ministrations now.
When one thinks of the temporary
plight of Macon, -nnd that It might
become the fierinaiieiit handicap of
many towns. It la well to think of sup-
porting the local paper.

"The purchasing power of Mexico
shows a less decline than that which
characterizes conditions in many other
countries. Exports to Mexico in the
fiscal year which ends with next

by The National City Bank of New
York, be double these of the preced
