Lecturer NATIONAL bUlun
A broad campaign of publicity on
he subject OF rural life is needed Il
lis state today to bring the problems
# the farmers to the forefront Inc
ity problems are blazoned upon the
Yont pages of the metropolitan dali
es and echoed in the country press,
out the troubles o. 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 un-
derstood and illuminated by the pow
err 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
Tic 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, rs 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 it. The local paper
is part Of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. It is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
its columns deal with subjects of most
vital importance to local life OF the
community

NOISE AS A FACTOR IN WAR
Those Accustomed to II Make Better
Soldiers Than Those Who
Are Not.

There has been growing in recent
years belief that the soldier from
the rural districts is not. as good a
campaigner as his brother-in-arms
from the cities. From Europe there
has just come one comment from an
excellent authority bearing out in a
way, 80 far as the British troops are
concerned this conclusion.
An English sergeant major, class
that is the flower of the British army,
owing to their system of training, and
who is Great Britain's professional
soldier par excellence, has expressed
the opinion as the result of the Bel
gian and French campaign that the
regiments recruited in the cities are
proving the best on the battlefields
!, because they are accustomed to noise.
ut is the quantity of the German
shells that is having this effect" he
said, 'and hellish noise racks the
nerves beyond the breaking point for
those who live away from the big
cities"
Mayor Gaynor wrote in one of his
inimitable letters that he could work
| In a boiler factory. Most city dwell
lers have to labor under conditions
closely approximating such condi-
! tion. No one ever believed anything
good could be said of the ding-dong
conclusions assailing the civic ear;
and yet we learn by this testimony
that noises of this kind may become
factor in war--New York Press.

WORKING IN OCEANS DEPTHS
Most Remarkable Divers Are the
Pearl Fishers Of Torres, Who
Work With Simple Equipment.

The greatest depth recorded OF
work done by a diver In suit Is 1872
feet; this depth was reached by the
Spanish diver, Angel Erostarbe. who
recovered $4,000 in silver ingots from
the wreck of the steamship Skyro OF
Cape Finisterre. The sponge divers
of the Mediterranean work at maxi
mum of $50 feet, and the Australian
pearlers at 100 feet The greatest
depths reached by divers without ap-
paratus were by the pearl fishers
of Torres, mostly Malayans from the
smaller islands. They go down with
the aid of a stone and loop in the
rope thereto attached which they
clutch with their toes, these organs
being far more prehensile than in
races normally shod. They seldom
venture to descend below SO feet, .
depth at which they can remain for
two minutes. The stone enables them
to remain at the bottom while they
are sweeping the pearl oysters into
a basket attached to the stone Wien
the diver feels that he must come up
to breathe he releases his toes from
the beckett in the rope and at once
floats to the surface. Young and
healthy Malayan divers working oys,
ter beds below six fathoms make four
descents an hour during four hours
in the morning and the same during
four hours In the afternoon following
a four-hour rest. A civilized man at
a depth of AZ feet finds such dive In
tolerable after a single minute.

Plan Maori Memorial,

The Victoria league in Auckland,
New Zealand, has a scheme on hand
by which it is hoped that the land on
which an old Maori pa Ia fortified
native village) stood may be secured
as a perpetual memorial to the Maori
warriors who fought and died there 30
years ago At present public road
runs through the center of the pa,
and the object of the Victoria league
is not only to prevent further destruc-
ton, but to secure for all time the
site of the pa, and restore 1t as far
as possible to its original formation.

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.

WHY CHILDREN SEEK GIFTS
AZ instructive for Them to Ask as
II 10, or Should Be, for the
Adult to Give.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Charles E. Jefferson, pastor of Broad
way tabernacle in New York city,
writes talk entitled "The Joy of Re-
ceiving," in the course of which he
explains why little children enjoy re-
ceiving more than giving. He says in
part:
In little children, the joy of receiv'
ing outruns the joy of giving Chill
dren are born beggars, They come
into the world empty-handed, and they
stretch their hand to those who are
nearest them, expecting to receive.
1t Is instructive for a child to ask, and
it is instructive for an adult to re-
spond The child's mind is as empty
as its hands Its mind reaches out
with questions-and what are ques'
lions but hands of the mind?-plead-
ing for bits of information, scraps of
knowledge, donations of light 1t is a
pleasure to give to a child, but who
would dare say that ones pleasure in
giving outstrips the child's pleasure in
receiving? Who is happier, do you
think, at Christmas, the child or the
parent?
ut is not the child's nature to lie
awake wondering what it can give to
others, but when he falls to thinking
Of what others are going to give him
It is difficult for him to go to sleep
Look at a child receiving a present
md then look at him giving one, and
1ote which act is more natural and
which brings the intenser delight.
little children know how to receive"
