THE HARDIN TRIBUNE-HERAID 1.111DAI, APRIL 24, 1925. PACE 'FOUR • 'It EDIT IHIAL AS11 FEATI1RE PAUL. THE LOCAL In STI4SPAPER sPite -- of theafart that the metropolitan - west; now- reaches into nearly every town and village in the country, the local news- paper in the United States is each year getting on a firmer foundation and becoming more and more useful to its home com- munity. It may be said that the day of the metropolitan newspaper is at hand. This is true, but it is equally true thatthe day of the local newspaper is here, too. The metropolitan daily with its world-wide news, its comic sheets and its magazine supplements, while of course, essential in our modern civilization, cannot take the place of the home newspaper. The very fact that the big city daily must cover a broad field forbids its becoming local in any sense, and it is the local field where the home newspaper dominates and where it finds its true usefulness. For, after all, it is the home news which is most inaao to most of us. We have the greatest interest in the community in which we live, and in the people who are our neighbors and friends. And it is the local newspaper which records, the happen- ings of the folks at home, and iii addition fosters the civic pride and, progressive spirit of the community. - It is the home newspaper which boosts the town, year in and year out, and which takes the lead in every enterprise which has for its purpose the upbuilding and prosperity of the community. We frequently hear it said that the old-time independent spirit of the newspaper is gone, that its editorial policy is now subservient to the business office. Yet, this is not true. -- There is more unselfish idealism in ,the average local newspaper than in any other business enterprise. It frequently speaks out in the way which it believes will be for the good of the nation and the The Joke Column t „c.

This is more than the average business man will do or can do. Of course the local newspaper is now on a firm business basis. This is why it is improving from year to year, Nvlay it is giving its readers a constantly better newspaper, and why it is increasing its influence for good in the community. But the lo- cal newspaper is .still the principal booster for the community, and it does its boosting often without any hope of - material - re- ward. Unfortunate indeed is the community which neither ap- preciates nor supports its local newspaper.—Great Falls Leader. \WE FARMERS CAN HELP OURSELVES\ J. C. Bonne. a rancher near Anaconda, Mont., is author of the lead article in the May Farm and Fireside. The striking things which he has to say should prove interesting to Montana people.

We are not cry-babies. . \There are in reality many More 'ills, failures and greater losses in other lines of business, only they are not so well adver- tised as in our case.
