the newspaper give you knowledge on which to

your fam ily, protect your home and to enjoy
all the rights o f a free citizen.
Some men and women don’t think you thou I d

you. Th ey think you should change your wav
of life to fit their ideas. And as a part of their
planning they include the newspaper.

T h e newspaper is first on their

From the newspaper you get
