KEEP THE WATER
OFF OF PREMISES.

1t behoooves every housekeeper TO
see that no can of water is setting
on the shelves or in the back yard.
This breeds mosquitoes as well as
ponds Of stagnant water and atten-
ton should be paid to the Kidding OF
the place of everything that tends
10 do this since it has been shown
that mosquitoes are the chief scatters
III the dreaded disease. 1t is held that
yellow fever is disease that IS con-
viewed from one person to another
only by the mosquito, and only by
one kind OF mosquito To get case

have 70 do one OF two things, FIRST.
hiring person to the city who has
yellow fever, let yellow fever mo-
souito bite him and then bite some
one else who is not immune to the
disease.
Second, bring mosquito to the
citv that has bitten yellow fever
patient.
Mosquitoes are not Of al migra-
tory; they stay at home. The mos
ouitoes that bit you last night were,
in all probability, born and raised on
the same block with you.
They were, in all probability, born
in your back yard in an old can or
bucket OF water you have kindly pro-
vided for them.

But first Of all, we are interested
in those people~w whom we know from
personal association, and we want to
know about these more vital affairs
that are going on about us.
The city daily may fe@en the door
steps until father comes home from
down town, but by that time mother
and the rest of the family have all
read the country weekly over each
others shoulders.
In this day and age, every family
can afford and ought to take both, but
if there is a choice to be made be-
tween the two, the subscription would
go to the editor of the weekly, wins
keeps tab with events in ones own
home town.
Yet it is not because the country
editor has taken to officeholdng
that he is in un influential figure IN
the nation.
1t is rather in spite of that TACT.
Therefore, the exultation of member
OF the rural journalistic fraternity
over the rise to power OF many OF
his contemporaries is due to misap-
prehension of cause and effect. The
country editor is a power not because
he is in office but because he is an
editor.
1t is true that the country editor
NOWADAYS aspire to more important
posts than the local postmaster. 1t
is trne that in Kansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma (And Mississippi which
was overlooked he has attained the
gubernatorial chair and that in other
states he holds hardly less important
Offices.
| But these honors are, after all mere
" iacidents of his chief glory which
arises out OF his journalistic voca
ton.
/ Anybody with strength enough tt
draw salary can be an office hold
er. but it takes a pretty good all
around man to be country editor.
Such man must combine bushes
and literary ability with more polite
al sagacity that falls to the lot OF tn
average politician.
He must be diplomat and goo
mixer. He must possess the jud
cial temperament, and above all, h
must have a reputation for honest.
that is beyond suspicion
1t is the possession OF these quail
tie that makes the Editor of the pat
ent inside weekly power in his CON
munity far out of proportion to TIL
Influence which is exercised by th'
metropolitan journalist.
The country editor is, close to hi

he yields in his neighborhood.
If he fails in honesty or fairness
he will not long remain country

1t is 10 the credit Of the countrl
editor that he is. to the number o
several thousand, in the full enjoy
