THE RURAL PRESS
Tho Local Paper Most usefu'
Agency on the Farm-The Press,
Pulpit and School a Trinity OF
Influence That Must Be
Utilized In Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford

BY Peter hdoroFo
rAcfurer National Farmers Union
A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life is neeoeo In
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront TAe
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country PRESS
but the troubles o. the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, n the
glitter of the package ofttimes Do
scures the substance. A searching In
vestigation into the needs OF the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects In our economic system that a
be easily remedied when properly un-
derstood and illuminated by the pow.
er Of the press.
The rural press. the pulpit and the
school are a trinity Of powerful In
fiuences 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-
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.

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 r making their
imprint upon the lives of u 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 well 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. 1t cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
billions 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.
Toe 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 seal 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 car best serve the inter-
ests Of the farmers by applying its
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community. 1t
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before it a 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-
f~iciency 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 its respective community.

ACCEPTS EXPLANATION
Austrian Charge Says Letter Was
Directed by DR.. Dumba.

The state departmt It probably will
accept the explanation made by
Baron Erich Zwiedinek, charge Of the
Austro-Hungarian embassy at Wash
ington, regarding a letter he wrote
to the Austro-Eungarian consul gen.
eral in New York suggesting that
neutral passports be brought to as
sist reservists in this country to reach
Austria-Hungsry.
The letter was written while DR..
Constantin Dumba, the recalled am
bassador, was. in charge OF the en-
bassy. Baron Zwiedinek called upon
Secretary Lansing the day after it
was published and explained that he
was acting under DR.. .Dumba's in
structions. Secretary Lansing did not
indicate what his view would be; but
it is learned that there is no dispo-
sition at the department to question
the charges statement.
Acceptance of Baron Zwiedinek's
explanation will clear up one Of the
incidents out of which grew the sit
uation aggravating relations between
the United States and Austria-Hun-
gary.

PREDICTS RUSSIAN ADVANCE
Cars Chief Commander Says Bis
Troops Have Plenty Of Shells.

Speaking Of Field Marshal Won
Eindenburg's forces facing him in
the Riga-Dvinsk sector, Gen. Ruzsky,
commanding the northern Russian
army opposing the Germans in this
region, is quoted in Petrograd dis
patch to the Petit Parisien as fol-
lows:
"The enemy's divisions which were
sent to France have been replaced by
multitude Of heavy and light guns
and by kilometers Of barbed wire.
Their heavy artillery is superior to
ours, although we have enough. Our
she'll crisis is over. We are getting
all the ammunition we want from
Petrograd.
"As to positions, advantages along
this front-which is three hundred
versts ;about two hundred miles) or
approximately half of that. in France
are about equal. When the water
freezes it is certain that the offensive
will become easier and the defensive
harder for both sides, but the Ger
mans will not be able to bring up
fresh troops If they take the often
sive. The offensive is costly; who
ever attacks must suffer heavy
losses.
FINALLY, it is now all question
as to who in few months will have
the larger number Of effectives, Ger
many or Russia. You know what
forces we have in reserve; so good
days are coming when the Russian
army will advance"

SEARCH FOR RELIEF SHIP
To Send for German Women Held In
South Africa.

Under orders from Washington,
Edmund Billings, collector OF the
port Of Boston, began inquiries re-
ga-ding the possibility Of chartering
an American steamship to send to
Cape Town to bring back one hun
dred and fifty German women and
children who reported to be anx-
ious to leave South Africa.
Accompanying the orders was a
copy Of letter from the United
States consul general at Cape Town
to the department of commerce and
labor, describing the plight OF the
women and children, forced to re-
main in territory Of an enemy coun-
try against their wishes. The letter
explained that the trouble arose over
refusal Of the British steamship lines
to take them as passengers. This
it was explained. was not due
to any antipathy by the steamship
lines, but because of feeling that ex-
listed among crews and passengers of
the vessels,

u. s. NOTE TO FRANCE ASKS
RELEASE OF MEN SEIZED
Removal of Teutons From an Ameri-
can Ship a Flagrant Viola
ton Of Right.

The United States government
Tuesday cabled Ambassador Sharp at
Paris for presentation to the French
foreign office note vigorously pro-
testing against the removal by the
French cruiser Descartes of six Ger
mans and Austrians from the Ameri-
can steamships Carolina, Coambo and
San Juan. Immediate release Of the
men is asked on the ground that
seizure of citizens of any nation from
an American vessel on the high seas
is illegal and constitutes flagrant
violation Of American rights.
The note was dispatched by Secre-
tary Lansing with the full approval
of President Wilson. It also is under
stood to have been discussed at the
cabinet meeting.
Couched in friendly terms the
communication states the American
point Of view emphatically and cites
the precedent employed in the case
of August Pieppenbri e German,
who was removed from the American
ship Windberr by the French cruiser
Conde in November Of last year and
released after representations by the
United States.
Attention is directed to the fact
that the men removed from the ships
were not embodied in the armed
forces Of the enemy as the term Is
used in the Declaration Of London.
It is asserted, however, that there is
no justification for the removal of
subjects Of nation which is. an
enemy Of France from an American
vessel on the high seas bound to a
neutral port, even if they could prop
erly be regarded as military persons.
The text of the American note,
which is said to be brief, probably
will be made public when word Of its
delivery to the French foreign office
is received.
Officials Of the state department
apparently think the French govern
ment may see fit to contest the con-
tentions fof the United States and
that the men will not be released
until further communications have
passed between the two governments.
This opinion Is based on the assump-
ton that the commander OF the Des-
cartes was acting in accordance with
instructions.

BLIZZARD In GALLIPOLF
Turks Suffer More From the Weather
Than Australians.

Winter in the Dardanelles Is prov
ing to be severe test for the Aus
tralians and Turks alike. Reuters
correspondent at this front reports
that the first blizzard Of early Decem-
Der found the Turks entirely unpre-
pared. 1t was necessary for them to
evacuate several positions, as the
trenches were flooded.
The bodies of several Turkish SOL
diers, as well as q number Of dead
mules, were washed down into the
allied trenches. Prisoners taken by
the Australians were poorly clad and,
the correspondent says, it was report
ed that the Turkish troops were on
half rations pending an improvement
in their communications.
The Colonial troops, including the
Maoris from New Zealand, withstood
the cold, although many Of them had
never seen snow before. The British
authorities believe that owing to
their hardy physique and excellent
equipment the Colonials will get
through the winter in satisfactory
condition.
Turkish activities recently have
been comparatively unimportant. Such
attacks as have been made have not
been pushed. Severe weather is ex-
pected through January and Feb
ruary.

BIG BATTLE In GREECE
Next Great Engagement Of Enemies
VIII be on Neutral Soil.

The next big battle OF the war
probably will be fought in Greece, de-
spite the efforts of the Hellenic king
and government to save their country
from the horrors of war.
The British and French forces
have made good their retirement
down the Vardar valley and are ap-
preaching Saloriki, where reinforce
ments are being landed, while reports
received in Paris and Rome say that
the Bulgarians have crossed the
Greek frontier IL p"rs Lit.
Reports os ti4s acton by the Bull
garians come somewhat as a surprise,
as it had been thought that such
move by them would provoke the
Greeks and that consequently If the
Entente allies are followed at all the
task would be allotted to the Aus
trians and Germans.

1900, 900 BRITONS ENLIST
Estimates OF Recruiting Return
Show no Need Of Consumption.

While no official computation was
Forthcoming on the recruiting accom-
pEshed under Lord Derby's scheme,
outside estimates agree that the num-
Der of men responding to the call for
volunteers approxlmates. four million.
This must be taken only as an un-
official estimate, as the actual figures
are held secret until Lord Derby's re-
port reaches Premier Asquith's
hands.
The rush of rec, uits during the
last two weeks has been so great as
far to exceed the rcsiest expectations
of Lord Derby and his aids. A con-
siderable proportion Of those offer
ing themselves failed to meet the
medical requirements.
Lord DERBY is Immensely elated
over the outcome Of his gigantic ef-
fort, and that it is now likely that
consumption will be avoided. If the
number as finally revealed falls
slightly below the mark, it is more
than likely that more men will be OBJ
tanned by another call without resort
ing to conscription.
While the voluntary recruiting was
supposed to end Saturday night, the
war office officials, by giving az
other day to accommodate the crowds
that were unable to get themselves
attested, owing to the rush in the last
hours, made it possible Sunday for
many thousands more to enlist
throughout Britain. All day the re-
cruiting stations in London and else
where were at work putting down the
names of men who carried away with
them Saturday only slips showing
that they had offered themselves, but
had been unable to get their attesta-
ton slips fully filed out.
Last Monday the recruiting tide
began to flow full and strong. Day
by day it increased in volume, until
on Friday it became a. great flood.
Men OF all ranks and conditions in
life came forward. Clerks from the
great banks marched to the station
in body; the orchestra of one thea
tre volunteered as one man between
the acts, and whole staffs from mer-
camille houses took the oath together.
