The Power Of Advertising.

The influence of advertising is clear
ly visible in the homes and habits of
the farmers, and the advertising COL
umns of the press are making their
imprint upon the lives of our people.
The farmer possesses the things that
are best advertised.
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the lux
uries Of life. We need more art, sci
ence and useful facilities on the
farms, and many homes and farms
are we'll balanced in this respect, but
the advertiser can render a service
by teaching the advantages of modern
equipment throughout the columns of
the rural press

THE CHURCH As

The social duty of the rural church
is as much part of its obligations
as its spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
it is expressing true religious in
Btinct and the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid theological food, is fast
giving way to broader interpreta-
ton Of the functions of true religion.
We take our place in the succession
OF those who have sought to make the
world fit habitation for the children
Of man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty of the

ligion is essentially social-its tenets

order in which moral life is ex-
pressed. Whi!o cherlshing ideals of

is that which enriches as many lives

the church como in as close contact
with It's members as through the
avenue Of social functions
The country town and the rural
community need social center. The

A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
Of the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in
vestigation into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly I'M
derstood and illuminated by the pow
er Of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity Of powerful in
fiuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO.
operation Of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object Is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity Of the community.
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper. and no home
should be without it. The local paper
is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. 1t is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
its columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life of tho
community.

not even mentioned. It has been
found safest for them to meet fire.
quently under the direction and care
Of the church. To send them into the
world with no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out of the world with no
social privileges is sheer folly. There
is a social nature to both old and
young, but the social requirements of
the young are imperative. The church
must provide directly or indirectly
some modern equivalent for the husk-
ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing
ing schools of the old days. In one
way or another the social instincts
Of our young people must have oppor-
tunity for expression, which may
take the form Of clubs, parties, pic
MICS or other forms Of amusement.
One thing is certain, and that is that
the church cannot take away the
dance, the card party and the theatre
unless It can offer in its place a sat
isfying substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.

a Noble Task.


In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by Civ,
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
billions of humanity, or by filling its
columns with the echoes Of the strug.
giles of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories Of CITY life which lure our
children from the farm.
1t has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitious
men in their wild lust for power, and
many times the flames of personal
conflict scar the tender buds Of new
civilization and illuminate the path
way to destruction, The rural press
is the governing power of public senti-
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship of state
In the roadstead of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter
ests of the farmers by applying it's
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community. 1t
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before 1t thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems of
civilization at their fountain head. Its
mission is to direct growth, teach eff
ficiency and mold the intellectual life
of the country. placing before the pub
lie the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg

social needs of the agricultural classes

Universal Instinct for Play.

In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one of the greatest meth
DDS by which human society has de-
veloped. Association is never secure
until it is pleasurable; in play the in
stinctive aversion Of one person for
another Is overcome and the social
mood is fostered. Play is the chief
educational agency in rural commun.
tiles and In the play-day of human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved. AS individuals
come together in social gatherings,
their viewpoint is broadened. their
ideals are lifted and finally they con.
stitute a cultured and refined society.
1t is plain, therefore, that the
church which aims at perfected So
ciety must use in refined and ex-
allied way the essential factors in
social evolution and must avail itself
Of the universal instinct for play.
II the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among its membership, 1t will
fill large part Of the lamentable
gap In rural pleasures and will reap
the richest reward by promoting a
higher and better type of manhood
and womanhood.

THE PROUTY MOVEMENT
Prouty Club Officials Explain Relation
to the Three Political Pnrties-
No Political Significance.

Orleans. May 5.-The officials OF the
Orleans Prouty club have given out the
following statement regarding the rela-
ton of the Prouty movement to the three
political parties:
THE Prouty clubs now organized and
hereafter to be organized will. so far as
lies in our power be maintained as strict
ly non-partisan organizations. 1t Is not
the purpose OF these clubs to interfere
with or attempt to influence the action
OF any one of the three great political
parties. We have but one object In view
and that Is the non-partisan nomination
and election of Hon. C. A. Prouty as the
next United States senator from Vermont.
We expect to make the voters of the
State so familiar with the record, char
acter and ability OF c A. Prouty that
the voters will demand of their respec-
tive parties an endorsement Of our candi-
date.
I'VE urge every true citizen of Yer
mont, republicans progressives and DEM
ocrats alike, to make the choice of our
next senator a matter of civic pride We
solicit the support of the $4,000 republi-
cars because in Mr.. Prouty we have a
candidate of the highest and truest type;
we solicit the support OF the 22,OOo pro-
gressives because Mr.. Prouty stands for
the square deal in politics as we'll as
business and because he has the ability
and courage to defend the interests of
the people from the encroachments Of
special privilege; we solicit the support
OF the 1900 democrats because We be-
lieve the administration would appreciate
a senator who would be bound only by the
dictates of true craftsmanship and We
appeal to the people as whole because
we have a candidate of ability whose
brain is so In tune with itself that it
gives him courage to rise above the de-
mands of mere party politics.
BY the election OF such n man We will
restore to Vermont her fast fading sem
atorial prestige and to that end we urge
the support of republicans, progresslves
and democrats aud n support comes in
