Rules for Country Correspondents

One OF the most valuable assets a
country weekly can have is that cooper
alton from clever and energetic county
correspondents. The news of the county
should be covered by good correspon-
dent in every community. The brief,
newsy letters from the rural Centers are
the making of country weekly.
The Glacier feel like congratulating
itself on the list OF good, live news gath
erers, who each week fill many columns
with readable news Of local happenings.
As far as the real gathering of the news
is concerned there could be no great inn
provement However, there are some
few, simple rules that could be followed
benetically. If country correspondents
will observe the following, the page of
country items will be more attractive
and can be set by The Glacier without
lnnumerable annoyanCes that sometimes
arise when the rules are not observed.
Always secure, where possible, initials
of persons. Don't say Mrs Smith and
daughters visited Mrs. Brown and fam
lily. If it is Mrs John Smith or Mrs. A.
A. Smith, designate them by their
proper initials or given name.
Always give definite dates.
Do not use abbreviations, except in
case OF given names.
In case OF a fire, give cause, total dam
age and insurance, if any.
Remember The Glacier sets country
correspondents on Tuesdays. Endeavor
to mail your letter, so that it will reach
the office by Tuesday morning. We'd
nesday is reserved for the setting of the
news happenings gathered IN the local
office, and if the country correspondence
piles up on Wednesday, the office force
is badly hampered A little co-opera-
tion on the part of the country CORE
spondents will in many cases prevent
late hours for the office force on We'd
nesdays.
Ii any important news happening
breaks in your community after your
letter has been mailed, you may reach
the office by telephone, or you may mail
another letter, that is, if it will be posi-
BILE for it to reach the office on Wednes-
day.
Don't hesitate to ask the office for
suggestions.
Ii you are out of stationery, notify
the office. In case it is not received i'm
mediately, send in another call. 1t may
lie possible that your first letter was
misplaced.
Remember that your are in charge of
one of the most beneficial mediums in
your community. The Glacier appreci-
ates your work as well as your fellow
residents, whose weekly comings and
goiugs you chronicle.
The most important rule is that con-
cerning promptness of getting your let
ter to the office on Tuesday.

GERMANS FIND MILK
AND HONEY In KOVNO
Large Supplies of Foodstufs Fall in
Hands of Conquerors. Says
Geographic Society.

AS a result of the acquisition of Rus
sian territory Germany has come into
possession of land OF milk and honey
that will afford her large supplies of
foodstuffs. so she may proceed with as
surance that her people will not suffer
despite the British blockade. This fact
is emphasized in a bulletin made public
last night by the National Geographic
Society. which dwells at length on the
Importance of the capture.
Highly developed estates stretch
throughout Kovno." says the bulletin,
1.-THE greatest part of whose area con-
sists of rich farm lands. Harvests I'M
varyingly produce an abundance here.
and before the outbreak Of tho war the
farmers of Kovno exported to their Ger
man neighbors large quantities of grain
meat, milk, butter, cheese and fowl
More than 90 per cent of the surface
of the Hovno government is yearly I'M
der crops, and much is devoted to graz
ing herds. Wheat, rye. oats, barley and
potatoes have been exported in increas-
ing bulks after each succeeding harvest,
and the methods of farming have steadily
improved, almost keeping pace with the
intensely cultivated farms in neighboring
East Prussia"
