Mitchell’s’ ‘Sentinel’,”” published at Bermidjii, Minn., wins the prize as best weekly in the National Editorial Contest. This is a good time to remind the public in general, and national advertisers in particular, that country weekly newspapers are the most important or- gans of public opinion and protectors of public welfare. “And, their advertising per mill line, is not excelled by any publication, of any kind. “The reader of a country weekly buys every- thing from shingles on the roof to cement in the cellar floor, and every advertiser has in him a possible customer.” CLARENCE SCHOCK MOUNT JOY, PA. 14 - pri Adal Rae CoAL THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER CO., PA. 8 See ey no, —— Ee — Re pe Sr li Pp ® (On With » J Joe Detwiler, local barber, who has i traveled extensively thruout the U.
