Walter B. Huff Writes
Lebannon, Term., March 7, 1917.
Mr. Walter W. Raney,
McCror.y, Ark.
Dear Friend:—
Not having received “The
Home News” in three weeks
now, will request that you kind
ly investigate to find the cause
so that I wili not be deprived pf
the pleasure of its weekly visit
in the future. I consider The
Home News, the Arkansas Ga
zette and The Literary Digest
essentials to my existance. Thus
you see when I fail to gee either
regularly it has the same effect
upon my mind as irregular meals
have upon the digestive organs
of the body.
People who are never away
from home for any length of
time do not know how to appre
ciate their home paper. In fact
the home paper is seldom sup
ported as it should be. So few
seem to realize that it is the
greatest factor in the develop
ment of any community, that it
is the very index to the pro
gressive status of the people
Jt is the window through which
the outside world views the peo
ple at their work. Not even do
the teachers contribute so much
and receive so little in return as
does the local paper. The teach
ers do receive the thanks and ap
preciation of a small group of
people in a community while the
paper is usually left to live or die
without one word of encourage
ment.
