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 url-
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-
yeiop 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 eob-
lema It 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

In China doors are often round. leaf
shaped or semicircular. In placing
them the builder usually avoids having
one opposite another lest evil spirits
find their way from the street into the
recesses of tina building. The door

den are usually Of an elaborate kind,
and the octagonal form Is one Of the
most popular. Religious superstition
asserts itself In Chinese architecture.
