Sir David is a soldier Of twenty years

that was before any one ever thought
Of an army flying corps. But a few
years later the possibilities of the aero

men in the British army to look ahead
a few years and see the wonderful
uses to which the flying machine would
be put in warfare.

attractive as we'll as the business of

time. but now his nap is over. Boreas.
you know, is the North Wind, and Jack
Frost is his SON. When Boreas wakes
up he sends Jack out to let people
know that cold weather is on the way.
Jack Frost is quite gentle when he
starts out on his tour. He breathes on
the flowers and trees and grass, and
soon they go to sleep until spring shall
awaken them. Then old Boreas opens
his mouth and blows a tremendous
blast. That is how winter begins.
Snow and ice take the places of flow
ers and green trees. Little folks, how
ever, are glad when Boreas wakes up,
for he makes lots Of splendid sport.
Without the snow and ice there would
be no skating or coasting-about the
jolliest kind of fun there is. Here is

caught by the photographer as she was
coasting down Il hillside in Central

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 it's 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 sea- the tender buds of new
civilization and illuminate the path.

is the governing power of public senti.

THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-Thc Press,
Pulpit and School a Trinity Of
Influence That Must Be
Utilized in Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
.f,,rer National FarmerS' I1niOn

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 car
be easily remedied when properly IN.
derstood and Illuminated by the pow.
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in.
%f1uences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he a
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 fol-
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 we'll
as farm periodicals and such othel
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without 1t. The local paper
is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. 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. g.
