THE RURAL PRESS
Tho Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farn-The Press,
Pulpit and School Trinity Of
Influence That Must Be
Utilized In Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union


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 Oh the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
Ecures 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 trinity of powerful In
fluences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy 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
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
It's columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life OF the
community.

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 well 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.

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 it's mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
billions of humanity, ar by filing it's
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

rural press can best serve the inter-
ests of the farmers by applying it's
to the solution of problems

GETS UNIFORM CONTRACT.
District Firm Will Help Supply the
Local Fire Department,

Contracts for supplying uniforms to
members of the District fire department
have been awarded by the Commits
sioners to a Washington and a Phila-
delphia firm. The S. N. Meyer Com
pany of this city, the first local firm to
get an order to supply uniforms to the
fire department in twenty years, was
the successful bidder on summer uni
forms. caps and shirts. n. Snellenburg
& Co of Philadelphia will furnish the
winter uniforms. Bids were received
from large number of firms, located
both in and outside the District
The police uniform contract for the
present year is held by Fechheimer
Brothers Company of Cincinnati and
expires next January.
Awarding of the fire department uni
form contract to a local firm followed
an investigation by the Commissioners
OF the methods of placing contracts for
police uniforms, in which it was dis
closed that Fechheimer Brothers Com
pany had enjoyed monopoly of this
business since 1905. The Commission
ers consequently drew up plan for
the awarding of uniform contracts for
both departments in a manner that
would insure equitable competition.
