FIRST cATcHER's PAD.
IL Was Worn by Charlie Bennett of the
Old Detroit Team.

Charlie Bennett, the noted catcher OF
the famous Detroit team of 1886 Z,
often told with delight the story CT
how he and his wife made the first
catcher's breast protector.
1t was a constant source of worry
to Mrs. Bennett to watch her husband
being made a target for the speed
merchants OF thirty years ago. And
she fully realized the pressing neces-
sity of some kind of armor to prevent
the hot shot sent through by these
speedy slabmen from caving in a rib
or two which belonged to her better
half.
After much deep thinking and CON
siderable labor the Benefits shaped
out something that had a faint resem-
blance to the protector worn today.
In private trial il worked fine, and
in the tryout Charlie would let the ball
slip through his hands and bang up
against bis chest without experiencing
the slightest jar. After Bennett got
used to it he wore it in a regular con-
test, ard, with the eyes of thousands
of spectators upon him, he would let
fast one hit him square on the chest.
The bali would rebound back almost
to the pitcher--New York World.

THE RURAL PRESS.
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-The Press,
Pulpit and School a Trinity Of
influence That Must Be
Utilized ln Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
.turer National Farmers. Unior


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
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
yestigation into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
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
fiuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy commanding position In pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
anu OAly o. o4L tnJ RHtAOi4o6O oA0 w
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. 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.

Deaf Mute Church Work.

for them in room in the University

present time there are thirteen or
dained clergymen. twelve OF whom are
themselves deaf. minisserlng to the

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 higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages of the city dailies
brfstle 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 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 1t 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 eff
f1ciency 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.

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 pnaking 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
dries 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.
