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 UNI
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 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 we'll
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all mean 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
its columns deal with subjects Of most
vital Importance to local life Of the
community.

Pennsylvania R. r. To BE Dry.

The Pennsylvania Railroad is
going "dry." After this month
it will be impossible to get a
drink anywhere on its system.
AT present there are only two
bars in its stations, one at the
New York station and one in the
Broad street station, Philadel-
.phia. The license at the New
York station does not expire UNI
til September 80, but the bar is
to be closed on January 80. In
Philadelphia the license will not
be renewed.
The railroad began its cam
paign against liquor some years
ago, when an order was issued
to employees warning them tC
avoid saloons and threatening
the men with discharge if they
drank while on duty. In 1911;
the road barred intoxicants from
its trains. Until last May Their,

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 its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties the mishaps and inordinate I'M
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 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
in the roadstead of progress The
rural press a best serve the inter
ests Of the farmers by applying its
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community Il
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before It a thousand
boys and girls per day. It has to deal
with the fundamental problems OF
civilization at their fountain head Its
mission is to direct growth, teach eff
h%ciency 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.

Yourself.

The only person who can drag
you down into drunkenness,
thievery, or uncleanness is your
self.
1t is the fashion to talk much
maudlin self-pity, and to blame
environment, heredity, tempera-
ment, fate, and your fellow crea-
lures for the evils that happen
to you.
No real calamity ever crushed
you that did not enter the door
you unlocked yourself.
All hell could not make you des-
pair, except yourself joined in.
Every stone in the edifce of
your character was laid by your
own hands.
Fate, malicious people, anC
other factors can threaten, hurt
and wound you; nothing and no.
body can put you down but your.
self.
You are your greatest enemy
if you are a coward; but if you
are brave, you are your creates
friend.
The one unquenchable light il
the human soul-the one uncon
querable force.
Only when you love yourself
nationally are you qualified t,
love others helpfully.
Only when you revere yourself
and fear yourself are you capabl
of reverence and fear towar

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 we'll 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.

In New Mexico the mine pro-
duction increased nearly $780,
900, but in Oregon the output de-
clined about $4,000.
In South Dakota the mine out
put was normal. The great
Homestake mines and mills we're
operated through the year, treat
ing a slightly increased tonnage
slightly lower grade. The
Golden Reward, Mogul, Trojan,
Reliance, Wasp No. 2, and other
mines and mills were generally
active.
In Utah the mine output of
gold decreased about 7 per cent,
or over $25O,OOO, in 1914. The
yield was principally from cop
per ores. The output from true
gold ores has declined since the
suspension Of operations at Mer-
cur.
The Philippine production has
steadily increased and in 1914
passed the $1,000, 900 mark.
California again retains first
rank in gold production in 1914,
followed in order by Colorado,
Alaska, Nevada, and South
Dakota, as in 1913. Arizona and
Montana have both passed Utah,
however, which dropped to
eighth place in 1914. AS stated
in the Geological Survey Press
Bulletin one year ago, increased
output of gold on any large scale
is hardly to be expected from any
of the States from the present
outlook, and unless the great
low-grade deposits of the Juneau
district, in Alaska, now being
prepared for large yield, step in
to the breach, or new discOverie.

the document itself discloses the
sole aim and the absolute condi-

an English army; "Un envoi de

the phamphlet: "In case Bel
GUM should be attacked, the
sending of about 100000 troops
was provided for" "Contemp-
lated" would be a s~tricter render
ing of "proiete," but in the Ger
man translation it is quite clear
that the plan was purely defen-
sive and conditional. This is
made still more definite by a
marginal note of Gen. Ducarme
to the paragraph relating to the
landing on the French coast, as
follows "The entry Of the Eng
fish into Belgium would take
place only after the violation of
our neutrality by Germany"
Here is complete evidence that
no aggression on Germany was
contemplated. Unless she at
tackled Belgium the plan would
come to naught.

INCREASE IN GOLD MINING

pJOsUOOsUUO.
The gold-mining industry of
the United States had a prosper
Gus year in 1914 and regained its
normal condition, inasmuch as
early returns Indicate an output
greater by nearly $4,000,0 900
than that of 1913. Mr.. H.. D. Nc
ICaskey, of the U. S. Geological
Survey, who is authority for
these figures, adds that the pro-
duction in 1918 was lower than
for several years past and even
in 1914 the output was consider
ably below that of any year in
the period 1908-1912, when the
high-water mark was reached.
For 1914 the preliminary fig
ures of the United States Geolog-
ical Survey and the Bureau of
the Mint indicate a total gold
yield of 1898, 800.
In Alaska the output of gold in
creased about 100000, the in

and a large amount of dead work
continued to be done preparatory
to increased output from lode
