The Knterpiist Is In receipt of un Illustrated edition of the llak- r I'ity Herald and It Is a fine advertisement fur the actlve.energetlc town of I'ak er City. The best advertising a city gets goes out through Its local news paper work, and If the cltUens of ev ery town would do their duty the home paper could lund more settlers, accomplish better Industrial results, bring In more manufactories, and de velop the country around faster than any other advertising could possibly accomplish. The home paper is your means of publicity and If you reiiMi ed It you could double your popula tion by using it Judiciously and care fully.
