A broad campaign OF publicity on
the subject OF rural life is needed IN
this state today to brinl 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 cfttimes OBJ
;cufes the substance A searching In
yestigation 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
auences 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 II The local paper
Is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. II is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
Its columns deal with subjects OF most

Alex ChriStOfforSOTl
Rcnthrop Defeats Herman Stroh OF
~. Louis In Two Straight
Falls.

One of the best wrestling matches
ever seen in Lehi was in the Royal
Theatre Thursday evening, when
Charley Renthrop threw Herman
Stroh of St Louis, Mo, in two
straight falls. The fall was secured
with body scissors and half nell
son, and lasted fifty minutes. The
second was secured with body and
head scissors and laster ten minutes
Stroh claims that coming from a low
to a high altitude weakened him and
he had been in Utah only four days
He will train here for two weeks and
then wrestle Nelson, the Salt Lake
fireman.
Motion pictures were shown before
the bout and one reel after. AL VIII
son promoted the bout and had good
house.
Alex Christofferson and Charles Rem
throp yesterday signed up articles to
wrestle one week from today, Janu-
airy 23rd. Christofferson will spend
the week In Salt Lakea City under Il
competant trainer. He did consider
able training for the preliminary bout
In the Yokol-Brown contest, and is
now In good condition. II is admitted
that Renthrop has had the most ex-
perience mad possibly the more sci
ence. but Christofferson's superior
weight will probably Offset the Dutch
mans advantage otherwise.
At the Yokel Brown contest Christ
ocerson made wonderful showing
with the Alaska wrestler, and at this
same match Renthrop challenged
Brown to a match and offered to wag-
er $500 on the outcome. He will meet
Brown later.
