The Farmer and His Paper

"The farmer of today is entirely
different from the farmer of yester-
day." said Secretary c. N. Nell
vaine, of the South Dakota State
Fair, "and l really believe that the
country newspapers have been the
greatest aid to the farmers and
made them what they are today.
There is no better or quicker way
to get an education than to read
the papers. If a man is away from
his home town his home paper
comes to him like long lost friend.
1t just seems to me, when | read
my home paper, as though l was
shaking hands with chun..
think the articles written by Peter
Radford have done more for the
farmer than any series of articles
have ever read. Have you read hi
article on Political Preachers? II
is one of the best he ever wrote
Every farmer and every farmers
wife should read it."

How We Get the News

Day before yesterday we had a
perfectly nice lady call us up and
with tears in her voice reproved us
for not mentioning the fact that
she had had a friend visiting her
last week. We told her that she
had not let us know anything about
it and that therefore, we did not
know that she had a visitor. Then
she said, ''Well you should have
known. l thought you were runn-
ing a newspaper" Wouldn't that
rattle your Stats? Some people
think that an editor ought to be a
cross between Argus and Anna Eva
Fay. They seem to think that our
five senses are augmented by g
sixth that lets us know everything
that happens, even if we see, hear
feel, smell or taste it not. Dear
lady, editors are only human or at
least, almost human. If, you have
a friend visiting you, if you are go
ing away or have returned from {
visit out of town, if Johnnie fall
and breaks his arm, if your hus
dapd chops his toe instead of ;
stick of wood, if anything happen
that makes you glad, or sad, happy
or mad, call us up. Tell US abou
it. That's the way to get it in thu
paper.

AMERICA GROWING RICHER

The United States is repurchgslng American secur

Americans are taking over foreign interests in South America, South Africa Canada China and other sections Of the world and that gold coming to the United States from every continent and nearly every country in every continent One must consider these things to realize Che enormy of our export trade at this time. And orders already placed indicate that shipments abroad have not yet reached their highest point in fact. 1t is conceded that the export trade of the United States during 1916 win be limited solely by the capacity of the country to produce and her ability to get ships to carry away her products.
 If Gen. Joire plans for two three more years Of warfare are fulfilled, and Americans are able to get ships to sail the seas there will be little of any where in the world that will not be owned in America

PaNmEmcAMsrs PART IN PREPAREDNESS

The progress outlined by the President in the deye opment or "Pan-Americanism and his emphasis on the need to foster s growth explains in large measure why he believes in the need Of preparedness for national defense. The President takes the ground that the United States protect the rights of Latin Ameri cans as well as those of the United States and to do ,hat we must be prepared for whatever necessities that might arise It is not because the President hates
