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.

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. It cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail.
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
bitions 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.
It 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 can best serve the inter-
ests of the farmers by applying it's
energies to the solution Of problems
affecting the local community. It
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. Its
mission is to direct growth, teach ef-
ficiency 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.

U. $. To Take Definite Step to Settle
Trouble I'm Mexico.

Washington. July GA definite
step toward a settlement Of the Mex
lean problem will be taken by the
United States in the near future.
Definite announcement to this effect
was made today by the state depart
ment, through the nature of the con-
templated action has not yet been
disclosed. President Wilson is un-
derstood to be revolving several sug-
gested courses in his mind. His de-
cision will not be known until his
return to Washington.
His most probable course. II was
reported tonight, would be to urge
Carranza for the last time to con-
fer with the other factions relative
to peace. Should Carranza again
refuse. it is said an effort may be
made to assemble the other Mexican
leaders who will represent a major
ity of the people. The convention
would arrange for constitutional
convention which would arrange for
the erection of a government which
the United States would recognize
and help maintain.

Pike Contract Let.

Bids were opened Tuesday by the
Ohio County Fiscal Court for the
construction of 2A miles of pike on
the Hartford and Centertown road.
There were four bids, but Smith &
Graham. of Breckenridge county, were
found to have the lowest bid. After
some changes in their bid which ma
terially reduced the cost. the court
accepted the bid and entered into con-
tract with them. The amount to be
expended will be $4,000. A new
bridge across Muddy creek is also pro
vided for. the present one being de-
clared unsafe by the engineer repre-
senting the State. The State pays
one-half of the entire sum to be ex-
pended. This line will eventually be
the connecting road with Greenville
in the inter-county seat program
mapped out by the State and this sec
ton is probably the most costly part
of it, because of necessary levying to
get above high water and straighten-
ing the road at one point.

London, July 26.-The American
steamship Leelanaw, from Archan-
gel July s, for Belfast with a cargo
of flax, was sunk Sunday by a Ger
man submarine off the northwest
coast of Scotland. All the mem bers
of the crew of the .Leelanaw were
saved. They were brought into
Kinkwall in their own boats.
The steamer left New York May
IL, with a cargo of cotton consigned
to Russia by way of Gothenburg.
The vessel was detained at Kirkwall
while inquiries were made as to the
possibility of getting her cargo to
Russia. as Sweden forbids the ex-
port Of cotton. The ship was re-
leased June 26, with permission to
proceed to Archangel, where the cot
ton was discharged and a cargo Of
fax was loaded for Belfast.
q. No details of the torpedoing Of
the sLeelanaw have been received
beyond a message stating that the
crew had been safely landed at Kirk
wall, Scotland, from which place
they notified the American consul at
Dundee of the sinking of the vessel.
A dispatch from Kirkwall to the
Central News Agency says that af-
ter the members of the crew left the
Leelanaw about a dozen shots were
fired at the steamer. They failed to
sink her, however, and she was ulti-
mately sent to the bottom by tor
pedo.
The members of the crew were
taken aboard the submarine, the dis
patch adds, and were well treated.
When in sight of the Orkney Islands
the men were ordered to return to
their boats and the submarine dis
appeared.
The Leelanaw was owned by the
Hardy Steamship company. of New
York. She was formerly called the
Earnwell. She was $50 feet long
and of 1924 gross tons. She left
Galveston May s and New York May
II with a cargo of cotton for Arch
angel. Early in June she was de-
tanned by the British authorities at
Kirkwall. This action was taken
because her cargo. although destined
for Russia. was consigned by way Of
Gothenburg. Sweden, which country
forbids the export Of cotton. Having
discharged her cargo at Archangel.
it is evident that the Leelanaw was
returning from Archangel when she
was sunk.
