FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu-
ton of women to the world, and the
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights The skies of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu5
lative products of generations of
Queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom Of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor in the, glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should rot be married or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the Weighty responsibilities of
the sOrdid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and 9 guide
to a higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within WO-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di-
rection of cultured. clean and COM
petent leadership where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as we'll as the business of
farming more remunerative The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man is an entertainment; to
farmer it is education. Let US take
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger a moment at a few of the points
of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers
You are now attending a congress OF
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence OF all ages They are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
a brief period while we live, but it
takes master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light a torch of
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
tions. The men who gave us the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labOrs as long as time
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind ON and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown US how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced Their in
ventions have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions Of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause Of their marvellous achieve
ments.

The RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper Most Usefu
Agency on the Farm-The Press,
Pulpit and School a 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 IL
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
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
fluences 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 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 we'll balanced in this respect, but
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 esponsibilities,
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 filing 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
anu hCCp IuC snip VI 0IdLC
in the roadstead Of progress The
rural press can best serve the inter
ests of the farmers by applying it's
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 thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with. the fundamental problems of
civilization at their fountain head. It's
mission is to direct growth, teach eff
ltciency 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 it's respective community
