THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-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 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
fuences 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 tC 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 we'll
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 1t. The local paper
is part of the community life and tbs
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. 1t is the local press that viii
studr the local problems and through
its columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life of the
community.

JUDGE James L. Martin

The news of the death of Judge James
to the people of his home community.
Although IS years old Judge Martin was
at the height of his powers intellectually,
and there had been no intimation to peo-
pie generally of any weakness in his ply
steal condition. He had been conspic-
uOus figure in the state 40 years. He was
but 80 when he was elected speaker of
the Vermont house of representatives.,
serving in that capacity three terms. and
being one of the youngest men who ever
filled the office. He had been honored
by election and appointment to many po-
sitions, his career being rounded out by
his work as judge of the United States
court, in which position he succeeded
his distinguished towDsman, the late
Martin was gifted with brilliant mind,
was a skilled parliamentarian, a success
full lawyer and he brought to the bench
not only a deep knowledge of the prpci-
PIES anu prdcIlceS Oh tue law OuC Cnor-
ough understanding of human nature
He was often called to New York to
preside over important sessions of the
federal court, and the Danbury hatters'
and other notable cases came before him.
The best tribute to the quality of Judge
Martins service on the bench is his
record-in eight years the United States
Supreme Court had never reversed one
of his Observation-Disclosures Reformer.

MARBLES OF VERMONT
They Surpass the Product Of Italy's Famous
QuanieS

The greatest marble producing indus
try in he world is no longer to be found
in the famous Carrara district of Italy,
but ia Vermont, whore the richest veins
in the world stretches in an irregular
line across the State.
SO great is the production of marble
in this section that the inhabitants have
lost mnch OF their appreciation of it's
unitarian purposes as paving, under
pnning for barns, hitching posts, step
ping stores, and drinking troughs for
horses. This vein is about 81 miles long.
from 900 to 2,2O0 feet.in width and runs
from 375 to $50 feet in depth, and from it
is being taken, in enormous quantities,
white marble that is equal to the finest
Italian marble, as well as an endless va
rety of blue, yellow, green and jet black
marbles.
For quarrying and finishing the marble
the most up to date methods and equip
ment are used, no part of the work being
done by hand that can possibly be done
by machinery. Hand methods of drill
ing, still in vogue ia Italy, have been
entirely superseded by power machines.
The blocks, as they come from the quar-
ry are handled by derricks and are con-
veyed in most cases by an inclined rail-
way or o ropeway to the mills, where
they are saved and shaped by power
driven machines. only the last delicate

CNnpoMIer In Warfare.

The employment Of gunpowder to
hurl iron aid lead balls in the thir-
tenth and fourteenth centuries sent
all ancient artillery into the trash
neap. Some authorities credit the
Moors with the first use of cannon
in Europe when they raided Spain in
the thirteenth century. Others assert
it appeared first at the battle of Crecy,
l346. 1t came into general use about
the close of the thirteenth century.

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, 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 Just for power, and
many times the flames Of personal
conflict scar the tender buGs OF new
civilization and illuminate The path
way to destruction. The rural press
is the governing power of pubic senu-
ment and must hold stCadiast 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 Its
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 it a thousand
bows and GIRLS per daV Ii has to deal
with the fundamental problems of
civilizat ton at their fountain head. It's
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
islative, cooperative, educational and
social needs of the agricultural classes
within its respective community.

The Power of Advertising.

The influence of advertising is clear
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.

DECREASE IN NUMBER
OF DRINKING PLACES
IN new YORK STATE

New York April 27.-Precaution That
the new state law increasing fees for
licenses to sell Intoxicating liquors
will cause the abandonment of at least
10 per cent of the licenses IN New
York City, was expressed by William
H. Hirsch, attorney for the New York
State Brewers Association today. This
would decrease the number Of licenses
by 1850.
MIR Hirsch said the number of Ii
censed drinking places in the state had
decreased from 33,257 in 1896 TO %
1878 in 1914 In the two years ended last
September, he said the number of IL
censes decreased by 1913.
