THINK IT OVER

The newspaper promotes the In
terest Of the community In which Il
is published to such an extent that
il becou- IS almost impossible TO esti-
mate its real worth. There is no
enterprise that does so much for the
corporation or the individual eitiEen
as the newpaper. 1t stands opposed
TO the knocker. the kicker. and the
town drones. 1t stands for action as
against dry rot. II stands for pro-
gress as against stagnation. IL is
ever ready TO combat the schemes OF
the Missionaries and is ready to aid In
upbuilding OF the community. The
newspaper has never come into its
own however, because IL is never ap-
preeiated by the people to the exterj
of its worth. Yet when battles are
to be fought for the town or com
munity a rush is always made Tor
the newspaper office always TO find
the loyal editor ready frequently with
hope OF reward. Many other enter
prises are encouraged by bonus
but rarely is the newspaper offered
any such help and still more often II
is not given the support it is entitled
TO. Communities frequently lose
sight OF their real benefactors when
they fail to recognize the weekly
journal as such. The editor and his
paper stand as the buivarks OF de-
fense against the attacks Of the evil
doer or designing schemes affecting
the good Of the individual CT tAe
town. For these and other reasons
the newspapers of the town and the
county should receive the support OF
the public at large in a very liberal
degree. for it is really the most i'm
portant business enterprise Of the
community.

per pound. yet there are a great mum

PURCHASING POWER or THE
FARMERS

The purchasing power OF the farm
ers depends not only upon the money
value Of the crops he produces. but
also upon the money value Of what
he buys. From 1899 to 1909. teen-
'sus years., the money value OF one
acre OF the farmers crops increased
T2.T per cent. but in the same period
the money value OF the articles usual
ly purchased by farmers had increas-
ed 12.l per cent; consequently as a
result Of the greater increase in the
the price OF what he bought, the net
increase in the purchasing power Of
the produce Of one acre was fifty
four per cent; that Is. one acre Of
the farmers crops in 1909 could
buy fifty-four per cent more OF the
articles usually bought by the farm
ers than in 1899.
Upon the basis Of the purchasing
power OF one acre OF produce, the
year 1903 stands as the most pros
porous for farmers OF the past fifty
years for which the.s are records.
