The Victory L. T. L. beld its
sntiaal picnic oo Saturday afternoon; aed the fact that it takes
more thee a little rein to dampen
tbeir enthusiasm wes. proven by
the fact that it was a splendid
success.
Alter tbe trip to tbe perk witb
two cars heavily loaded with chil-
dran and "eats", the rain fell.
The return trip to tba bome of
tbe superintenbent was then
made end sapper served, end immensely enjoyed.
Tie safe to say that a dining
room table never held quite so
mnoh before, nor waa surrounded
by quite eaeb e large and hilar!
oa stamily.
Later, gamee and contest s wan
ia order. Some ot those winning
prizes were • Sara Gregory, Anna
Hummel, Beverly My an, Barbara Stephens, Alberta Gregory,
Donald Myers and William Patton. *
After a season of rally cries and
songs the youn^*'Patriots returned to their homes tired bat happy. Tbeir favorite rally cry oa
this picnic day' seemed to be :
"Thunder, lightning, rain or sleet,
the'L. T. L. cant be beat."

the merchants, it appears to as
tbet many merchants consider too
lightly', it at ell, tbe benefits
wbiob tbey derive, or could derive, from having their town represented by a good live paper.
For instance, it is not hard tt
understand that yoar owo advertising wilj, attract mora favorable attention in e well-edited,
neat-appearing paper than in a
dull, uninviting-looking sheet.
Moreover, the live, readable paper
will generally be found to bave a
large circulation and will be read
with a good deal ot interest, all of
which means dollars and cents
to yoo is sn advertiser.
Bit consider yoar local paper
fromjjthe standpoint of tbe community news wbioh it carries. A
well-edited paper, chock-full of
local news, is bound to create
much good will for yoar town.
Whenever the town attempts to
pat over a community event, of
whatever sort, tbe loeal newspaper will largly decide the success or failure ot tbe venture by
the publicity which it provides ia
the news columns.
Wi are all interested most in
tha things we know aboat. Therefore, if yoa have a good live nawe
paper to tdl tbe tolks about yoor
town, it follow! quite naturally
that tbey will be interested la
