CLEVELAND, Publisher PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY $2.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE- Entered as second-class matter Feb 11, 1921, at the postofflce at Board man, Ore., under act of Mar. 3, 1879 FEW PEOPLE APPRECIATE VALUE OK A NEWSPAPER The following article is from the pen of Dean Lyle M. Spencer of the University of Washington: Few people in the average city ap preciate the value of a newspaper to a town.- Like flowers, they are appreciated most by those who do not have them. Like mothers, the are wan. 6 rnGgt when they arc gone. Most people look upon a news paper as the business of a single individual. If it thrives, that is the owner's or the editor's busi ness, "if it falls, that also is the owner's or editor's business. As a matter of fact, the success or failure of a paper is a matter of grave concern to an entire town. If it were not for our news papers, rumor and gossip would run riot over the world. Every one knows how a simple question asked by someone often la made a statement by another, how that statement is distorted by B second or enlarged by a hird, and how it goes on and on until people do not know what to believe. Some times such S story gets so big tha the only way it can be stopped i by something coming out in th paper and stating the precis truth. Such conditions we shoule. have constantly if it were not. foi our newspapers. Newspapers, too, are the besl advertisement a city has in the outside world. Other cities judge a town by the kind of a newspaps it has. If it is supported well given the news and the advertis ing patronage It ought to have, it thrives and is able to present ar appearance of prosperity for thi town to the outside world. If i. does not thrive, outsiders are in clined to look upon the town a. undesirable to live in, and so move on to other cities. Newspapers are also our chisi source of information. Most of our reading matter afeT we leave school comes from the newspapers. What we know about the presl dent's doings, about the struggle between France and Germany n the Ruhr, about Henry Ford as a candidate for president, and about other national and world prob lems, comes from the papers Thomas Jefferson once said thai if he had to have government without newspapers or newspapers without government, he would take the newspapers, because thru them he felt th state could be run with at least fair success. If some of us appreciated more fully the value of our newspapers, we would make greater effort to se that they get the nws and ad vertising and so become success ful. Modern society cannot get along without newspapers any more than it can without schools and churches. LOCAL NEWS ITEMS Opal Wagner was a Portland visi tor last week. M W. H.

What the country needs is to bring about a condition whereby the man who works with his hands shall take the same Interest in his af fairs as the capitalist does In his. Probably tho best way to do this WOttM be to turn the workman Into a capitalist. And this Is exactly wlmt he becomes when he saves his money and builds U a reserve fund. He re mains a capitalist as long as he ho da on tei that money. The satisfaction of seeing his money reserve mount up will dlseouraite the waster to lake a layoff now ami then. It will encour age him to work a full six-day week and thereby Increase the labor hours applied to production, The American people can sedve any problem they set th. ratal ve 'o We provided for a sound cur wny when the greenbackers and Mitl lion su were POUted and the gold In Is est b llshed.
