OF the low point of 1911. Wages have
been advanced since then and this com

THE FARMER,s NEWSPAPER.

ONLY a few years ago the farmer
was content with the weekly local
newspaper. which along about Thurs
day or Friday. or perhaps not until
Saturday. brought him the worlds
news in condensed paragraphs and
the gossip OF his own locality.
That was before the rural free de-
livery was established and the farmer
had 20 go to town 10 get his mail He
had not acquired the daily paper
habit. lie was accustomed 10 reading
the news in weekly instalments. and
IL did not occur 20 him 20 expect 20
have it served 10 him more frequent
~. except when some friend thought
10 mail him a daily paper from the
city or some visitor brought late
copies Of the daily issues. The farm
er was quite happy with his weekly
paper and paid three dollars a year
for it without much grumbling,
without any II ne could turn in a
load Of wood or farm produce in pay
ment.
Then came the rural free delivery
and its opportunities The farmer
rose promptly 10 the occasion. With
the mail carrier passing his house
every day in the week except Sunday
the desire to live in closer intimacy
with the outside world was created
and his weekly newspaper was ex-
changed for a daily. which, strange
TO say. was soon coming TO him a..
the same price ne paid for tire
weekly.
Now the farmer is more disturbed
paper than he used to be when his
weekly failed TO arrive This illus
trates the force Of habit and the
keener interest in the news OF the
day created by the circulation O..
daily newspapers in the country. Be
fore. the farmer was isolated from
the big world about him except for
the slender connection afforded by
his weekly newspaper Now, with his
daily. he is a part Of il. He is as
familiar with current events as the
city dweller. His interest in human
affairs has been quickened until it
equals that OF the citizen Of the city.
He is as well informed on the mar
kets as the merchant or the broker
The connecting link which has
drawn the urban and rural pOpula
tions into practically one community
was forged by the daily newspaper.
and IL is this agency on which de-
pendence must be placed for the
restoratiop OF the equilibrium be-
tween city and country

THE CROP FUNDS.

So far banks in different sections
of the country have asked the secre-
tary of the treasury for $4,000, 600
to aid in moving the crops The
calls for federal deposits of crop
funds come from the southern states
and the middle west, but none from
New England.
The western cities asking for aid
are located in Indiana, Illinois. Iowa,
Missouri Nebraska. oklahoma and
Washington In Indiana Fort Wayne
and Evansville are the only cities
that will receive federal deposits.
The other cities Of the state needed
no help. The demand for funds this
year is three millions less than last
year and varying interpretations are
placed upon il. According to Sec.
McAdoo the volume Of money de-
manded for the purpose named con-
firms the optimistic bulletins of the
agricultural department and indicate
decided promise OF greatly i'm
proved business conditions and en-
larged business activity.
The secretary's view seems to be
freely justified by the circumstances.
Increasing the circulation OF money
means that business needed just that
much more cash 10 carry on its OPP
erations and that without it business
would have been seriously crippled.
This money will remain in circulation
from one to six months and material

RABIES AND DOG DAYS.

The Journal of the American
Medical association has a timely and
ennghtening article on the subject Of
rabies which dispels some of the
popular delusions and adds a word OF

ton which is founded on tradition
rather than upon understanding.
