Ladysmith is a good town, but we
all want to make it better one.
The town that stands still usually
goes backward. Nothing is more
conducive to a towns advancement
than a live commercial club; and
that's the one thing that Ladysmlth
lacks and needs right now more than
anything else. We have as live and
enterprising a bunch of business men
as can be found in any city of this
size in the state, but there is need
of getting together, that we may
work in unison for everything that
will make a bigger and better Lady
smith.
Now then, a meeting of the bust
ness men has been called for Satur-
day evening to re-organize the Com
mercial Club and every business man
of the city ought to lay aside every
thing else that evening and attend
the meeting. Boost" hard to make
this meeting ''rouser," and demon
strate by your presence that you are

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.

THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farn1-The Press,
Pulpit and School 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 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 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
huences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
CISdulZCu Ill SFSly lUi Ga ~
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
Its columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life of the
community.

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. 1t cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
billions of humanity, or by filling it's
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
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. It's
mission is to direct growth, teach eff
fciency 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
lslative, cooperative, educational and
social needs of the agricultural classes
within it's respective community.
