The Opportunity For The Rural Press.
K. w. j., IA.

HIS is the newspaper age At no time in the history
of the world have the newspapers been more widely
circulated, more progressive and powerful Speaking
in the larger sense the influence of the press is
into the daily life of every citizen of the civilized
world is the great creative constructive and vital force
in twentieth century civilization 1t is the marvellous
dynamic power that the world and shapes the dest
MES of men and nations.
In restricted terms the local weekly, socalled
Country newspaper has wide field of usefulness which
is peculiarly it's It occupies field that be filled
by other paper. There many reasons for this,
among which is the fact that it is printed in the community
in which it crculates and is published under the
watchfu eye of it's subscribers 1t has direct and mme
date responsibility to it's clientele which is expected of
other paper.
1t is surrounded by local conditions which bring it
close touch with the hearts and lives of the people, And
because of the intimacy the home paper enjoys it is held
to strict accountability for it's accuracy, enterprise and
moral If expects prosper it must be honest with
it's readers and be reliable for it is dis
nctvey the home paper It is the paper which goes
into the household and is read by every member of the
family
And since it is read by the entire family should of
necessity contain something of interest to each member
It the literary looking glass in which it's readers their
sentiments expressed and through which they what
their friends doing OF it should also contain
the important items of news in condensed FORM of
the outside world but is the strictly local happenings
that radate it's influence to every home and make it
potent in it's field than the influence of the city daily
possibly be.
The local newspaper in constant touch with the peo
pie represents for truly the most representative factor
of any community is it's newspaper Therefore when the
local paper is ntegenty conducted is fearless alert and
progressive stimulates thought creates sentiment and
leads every movement having for it's object the better
ment of the public veal.

He finds that it is not only everlastngy working for him
while he is busy working for himself advocating better
roads, better Schools advantageous postage and freight
that it he finds departments devoted to scien

When he misses copy he calls the editor and says that
he didn't get hs paper and that he doesn't want it to
happen again. his excitement ringing off before he has
given his name.
The office of local weekly paper offers fine oppor-
tunity proving ground for young persons with literary
incnatons. It affords excellent field for getting into
close contact with the people, for studying human nature
