CITY   AND COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS.
Why
it  Costs
Publish
More,   Proportionately, to
a Country Weakly.
Bro. Lowrey, editor of the Howard
City Becord, and ex-secretary of the
Michigan Press Association, explains
Tery clearly in the following article
why the Tillage newspaper cannot compete in pjice and quantity of matter
with the great city weeklies. It is a
fair, candid statement of facts, and
•we commend it to the attention of
«yery one of our readers.
IDYery country publisher in Michigan, no doubt,   frequently   hears the
.complaint that country newspapers
should he furnished .cheaper; that the
subscriber can get a larger paper for
less money from the city and that he
cannot afford any longer to take the
country paper unless it is furnished
ffor less.iqo.nsy. "Not everybody is aware
Swhy the, city papers can be furnished so
|nuch cheaper,* at "a profit. Here are a
few of the reasons: The publishers of
nearly all city weeklies also print a
daily.' .Take for instance the Chicago
Inter Ocean. ■ Tne profits arising from
the daily are large.   Each daily issue
. contains several columns of matter
sutiable for publication in the weekly
• issue, and the type in these is set aside
to be used. Succeeding issues of the
daily furnish like quantities of material and by the, time the week has elapsed sufficient matter has been culled to
fill the reading matter- columns of the
weekly issue. These have cost the pub-
• 'lisher nothing* because they have been
once used arid paid for by the profits of
the daily issue." The class of matter
thus selected,"is of great interest, and* -
makes a paper sutiable for circulation
not only throughout the entire state,
but in many states of the Union. The
circulation thus becomes very large,
fifty, one hundred, two hundred thousand, perhaps. Does" anyone . doubt
that the advertising secured by such a
Tast circulation will easily pay the expense of. paper, mailing,- etc., where
the type setting has already been paid?
This, then, will leave a clear profit for
the publisher, all the money deri.ved
from subscribtions, be it $1, 75c or 50c
per year.   .
The local paper is limited in its field
of circulation.   Every county has from
one to twenty papers published within
its borders, each working' and asking
Jlgr a share of the public patronage. It
^iniastr be-of particular local interest to
enable its circulation to extend far beyond the borders of the county where
pmbjished.. The circulation of the aver-
' age of the country papers therefore, is
apt to be less rather than ■ more than
1,000.   Where the city paper is invariably paid for in  advance, the country

* ,      .-u -u-_ *    , ed Monday evening by a merry   com-
vance subscribers: some owe him for a „ ■ v &.  J , J
year, and others for- several years.
Some pay -af ter a while in cash, some
pay in wood, some promise to pay and
lorgefe to redeem their promise. Country publishers as a rule do not stop a
paper as soon as the subscription has
•expired (as city publishers do), because
as a xule, his subscribers are his personal friends or acquaintances and feels
that to do so would bean affront. His
profits are therefore curtailed, while
Iris expenses yearly grow larger.
Newspaper offices cannot be run as
"they were twenty years ago. Boys do
not work a year or two for their board
-as they once did, and wages in the city,
.aresucla that the country publisher
must also pay good wages to keep corn-
patent help. Advertisers and business
will not accept work performed with
the facilities that, were deemed ade-?
.quate even-ten years ago. How to reduce the price of the paper and yet
pake the business pay a. fair rate of in-
-Merest on the investment and a proper
jeturn. for the* labor is the problem
which continually confronts the country publisher. His rent gets no lower;
Ms" insurances, taxes, help, paper,, ink,
type, and other hundred ah one ex-
'penses are no less. Why should he be
-compelled to: lower the price of his paper because a larger one from the city
«au be furnished at a lower price?
It is the local paper that stands by
the county, the town; that advertises
their advantges and defends their interests. It is the local paper which
stands nearest of all to ' the home
reader. It is interested in the things
he. or she is interested in.- The little
occurences which make up the every
- 4ay life of the community. The births,
marriages and deaths; the comings and
goings; the amusements, the entertainments, the enterprises, the hopes and
ambitions of those here at home. Its
columns contain the matters of local
interest which.are never seen in' the
city weekly, and can be had nowhere
else but in the home paper. The family who cannot get $1.50 worth of good
from the local paper in 52 weeks is indeed rare.

Farweil Register: The entertain*?
ment given by Mrs. Cherrymau at the
M..E. church last Monday evening for
the benefit of the school, was a gratifying success. wMrsi' Cherryman's se^-
lections were pleasing and well reordered, and the large audience which
greeted her showed its appreciation by
frequent applause.
The Farwell Register says that Air
onzo Philtlips and family moved; to
Shepard last week. .The death of his
brother left matters in such a shape
that it was impossible to carry on their
farm work without a loss. It wili bp
remembered that it was AlonzoPhillips
who lost both of his 'legs last summer
and whose brother was killed by the
cars recently.
At a meeting Tuesday evening at
the Lansingville school house for the,
purpose of pushing the matter of establishing a cheese factory, $610 were

obtained.! The farmers talk of owning
and running the factory, Mringthje

We call the attention of our readers
to the excellence of. the Sentinel's
ready-print or the inside pages. The
special articles this week, besides the
stories and the newsy state items, are
Talmage's sermon of last Sunday, a
summary of the findings of the grand
jury at Mason, the report of the senate
eommittee on the Hawaiian affair.
E. R. Potter was in Coleman yesterday, to look after the matter of the insurance of Will J. Martin's building
which burned Tuesday night. The
building was insured Tuesday morning and burned the same evening. It
was used as a photograph gallery by
Mr. Martin, the outfit being furnished
by Jas. McLellan of Farwell, who loses
about $175 by the fire.
There is a little matter which we
over looked last week, and to which we
failed to call attention. On an inside
page of last week's SENTDSfEi. was an
Advertisement having a picture of a
wind-mill and at the top were the
words, "Clip, save and send to. us."
That advertisment is worth $25 cash
to some farmer who reads this paper.
Look it up and get the $25.

The home of Rev. M. D. Rogers was
invaded yesterday afternoon by a
company of nearly 100 freinds, it'being
a surprise on Mrs. Rogers. The surprise
was increased when" she was presented
with a handsome easy' jocker and 40
yards o"f trhe best factory. Mr. Rogers
was remembered with a purse of eyer-
acceptaible cash! An excellent supiper
was served from the baskets of the
surprisers, whose visit was an evidence
of theif high esteem for Rev. and Mrs.
Rogers.
Cock-jfighting seems to be quite a
past-time   among   Clare  youth. ' A
citizen of the east side called our attention recently to the fact  that several of the boys of his  neighborhood
meet io a barn every Sunday and "fight
roosters," much to the disgust of the
neighbors who are opposed  to cruelty
to animals.   We were asked this week
to publish a challenge by one of the
boys on the south side who: -wishes to
match his bird, "to fight to a finish,"
against some other fowl.   We declined
to do so, partly because we do not delight in cruelty to animals, and partly
because we do not wish to encourage
violation of law.   Boys, there is alaw
against such practice. Mt. Marshal, it
is your duty to look after such things.
Mr. G. H. Hersey of. Yernon township returned Tuesday from Ann Arbor
where he" went  Wednesday of last

Martin, her physician, says that she
has np tumor nor ulcer,  as  was supposed, but thinks she has a cancer,. An
operation.is to be performed in about
two weeks, which will reveal the exact nature of the trouble.   Meanwhile
Mrs. Hersey is faking her case very
codly now, and   is receiving benefit.
Heir maiiy friends will be" glad to learn
that she is now ,in her right mind,
whereas for three months past she has
not been  accountable for what she
said.   Mr. Hersey also obtained relief,
thirouglrthe treatment of Dr. Yaughn
from a chronic  trouble of fourteen
years'standing, and expects to be permanently cured. He regards Dr. Yaughn
as the ablest physiciaja in the state.
Byron Boyd, conductor of the branch
local freight, and W. A. Carruthers,
superintendent of transportation on
the branch, had a narrow escape from
severe injury, at least, last Sunday
afternoon as they weire going into
Dpdge. Engine 57, with five cars and a
caboose' ahead of hei;, were going
around a curve just outside of Dodge,
at a twenty mile rate, when the caboose jumped the track land turnei over
on its side, being torn entirely loose
fribm the truck. Messers Boyd arid
Carruthers were the only occupants of
the caboose at the time. The; contents of the car, tools, cushions and
everything movable, new about their
heads and blocked up tile doors so that
escape was cut off.' To add to their
danger.theoilin the car caught Are
from the stove and tins threatened
the men with a roasting. However the
train hands came to their rescue
promptly, helped thern out of their
predicament and extinguished the fire
with water from the engine. The ca-
booSeStill lies by the side of the track.
Mj. |Boyd and Mr. Carruthers *are not
anxious for a repetition of their experience. ;i
