THE COUNTRY TOWN WEEKLY Concerning the small town weekn metroly newspaper, a politan publication recently said: No daily newspaper, however well edited, can take the place of the small town weekly, if the publisher knows his business. The latter has a hold on the hearts and lives of the people that cannot be loosened by any outside newspaper, daily or otherwise. Its a personal friend of every man, woman and It furnishchild in the community. es the first reading lesson for the toddler who has just learned the alphabet. In its columns are recorded the childs progress thru school, his departure for college and the record he made while there, his marriage and his business career in ' the distant city. IttelIs!fof the tragedies and comedies in the lives of those who are neighbors and It gives the gossip acquaintances. of the hour and the news of the day, and discusses subjects that are of interest to all who can scan its pages. Its editor is a sort of father confessor to everybody. The home townnewspaper is as essential to a town as the retail merchant. The extent of the prosperity of the town depends upon how well the editor and merchant pull together. Once in al while the remark is heard that the life f the small town weekly or the life of the small town merchant is threatened well-know- : i by interests now centralizing in the large cities, but this is not true. The community is safe, the local merchant is safe and the editor is safe so long as we are lalive and alert to our neighborhood interests and do the things that should be done to promote community - i Cries for Shoes.

Dear Mrs. Buckner: My I have just come In from the Vestialre. Two American Ambulance boys are unpacking your wonderful box of shoes. It Is the finest contribution we have received since the beginning of, the war. Dr. Shurtleff and our Committee join In warmest thanks. Shoes in Paris are absolutely priceless. It is impossible for the refugees to buy them. We are simply overwhelmed with calls for help these days. Thousands of people are being sent back from the invaded Provinces by the Ger- mans; others are coming from the regions recently devastated by the enemy in his retreat. These people reach the city in a state of destitution, and must be outfitted. As the war goes on the need and suffering Increase. Every day to hear brings us more appeals than we can meet. It is what many of the women and children have endured, but they are all so brave and courageous that it is really an inspiration to work for them. . Sincerely yours, " MRS. E. W. SHURTLEFF.

Salt Lake, Utah. Telephone, Wasatch 3882. Volunteers are wanted to gather shoes from every locality in the state. There is scarcely a family anywhere but has one or more pairs of partly used shoes in their closets. The relief committee wants them brought out, dusted and cleaned off it would be a real charity also to have them patched up and fathered at some local depot in each town and then shipped to the above address. All expense of handling, boxing and shipping to France will be paid by the Insurance Federation. It is expected that each locality will pay the expense of boxing and sending to Salt Lake. All shipments should be made not later than August 10th. This is a real opportunity to do some effective relief work without sacrifice on the part of the people of Utah, and this appeal should meet with a hearty response. The office of this paper has been designated as headquarters for the collection of shoes. Bring them in, tied in pairs, and do it today. Shipment will be made from here August 10th.

The newspapers have made it possible to spread broadcast over our land in a single day the appeals of the government to its citizens in all walks of life.

On the newspapers fell the burden of advising the public of the details of the'iLiberty Bonds and educating the citizens to purchase these securities. On the newspaper falls the work of informing the people of the Red Cross plans to raise 10,000,000 in the U. S. All of this work is done freely, cheerfully and without pay.
