THE STORY OF HOME TOWN
PAPERWEEK
By M. V. ATWOOD.
Once upon a time a country editor
had a great Idea. This is not the first
great idea which has been evolved in
a country print-shop, but most of these
Ideas in the past have been of benefit
te some one other than the editor.
But the idea was to benefit editor as
well as the whole community and na
tion.
This was the idea: Why not have
a “home paper week?”
We have had every; kind o f a “ week”
from soap to electric cleaners.
Taken together, argued the editor,
the country newspapers are quite the
most important in the nation, even if
Judged by numbers; the ten or fifteen
thousand o f them make the four hun
dred big city papers and magazines
seem inconsiderable, indeed.
The reason most' folks do not real
ize the importance o f the' country
newspaper is because they' think of
them Individually instead o f collective
ly ; even the Atlantic ocean doesn’t
look very impressive when you view it
merely as a cupful o f water scooped
up at the beach.
So this country editor began to talk
about the idea and to write letters
to any one who he thought might be
interested. But like all great Ideas,
it took a long time for it to grow.
Finally a company which has done
much to teach country publishers the
value o f system and o f knowledge o f
costs took it up.^as did also the Na
tional Editorial .Association; then the
state colleges of agriculture saw its
possibilities because of, the effect on
community life ; another great concern
which furnishes thousands of country
papers with syndicate news and fea^
tures became interested; and, of
course, the publishers’ trade journals
fell into line.
Thus a great chain o f interest in
“ Subscribe for Your Home Town Pa
per Week” has been stretched across
the country, each of the thousands of
country papers, o f which this paper is
one, a link in the chain.
November 7th to 12th are the dates
set for “ Subscribe for Your Home
Town Paper Week,” and all who, be
lieve in the home town paper, in its
possibilities for helpfulness, for*creat-
Ing community solidarity, for the' cher
ishing o f the homely and sacred things
of the country, are being asked to
help— to help, not because the country
editor needs charity, but because the
country newspaper is a great service
.agency, dignified, stable, worthy o f
every cent which the community in
vests to make it possible.
So you’are asked to help make “ Sub
scribe for Your Home Town Paper
Week” the big success it is going to
be. I f you do not now take your home
paper, don’t delay subscribing later
than the week of November 7-12.

Dale West, of Klamath Falls,* Oregon, came with the other boys’ and girls’
club members to the Pacific International Live Stock Exposition last year and
entered his Shorthorn heifer, Mound’s Baroness 2d.
Well bred, in splendid condition and trained to stand and lead properly
for the judges, both she and her master made a fine impression, and she was
awarded first in the young (Ulass of beef breeds.
Dale nas written to O. M. Plummer, manager of the great show to be held
this year at North Portland, Oregon, Nov«- 5-12, that he wants to be a part of
the exposition, and he sent his check for $25 for one share of stock.
The boys’ and' girls’ club exhibits at the Pacific International last year
were very interesting, and perhaps as important to the nation as any division
there.
