The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1915-01-15
By Peter Radford

Y.cturer National Farmers Union
A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject Of rural life Is neeoed IN
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront. Inc
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 VINO
seek to profit by the story, and h
glitter of the package Outlines Cd
scures the substance. A searching IN
vestightion into =. the needs OF the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects In u economic system that q
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
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 n 20
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 we'll
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may ind 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. 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 Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1915-01-15

The farmers are in need Of personal
leadership. They have political lead
ers, but they need local industrial
community and educational leaders.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1915-01-15

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 filing 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.
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 its
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community. II

that is moving from the farm to the

HEALTH HINTS
COLDS

The changing weather. and chill
winds of November bring a crop Of
colds. Few people are exempt; some
suffer for a few days; some are un-
well for weeks; some contract perma-
nent lung troubles and bronchitis.
Comparatively few colds lead to
consumption. but as every cold weak
ems the system and makes the person
more liable TO other diseases, and par
ticularly to consumption, every cold
should be closely watched. rs
Draughts, overheated, unventilated
rooms, unsuitable clothing and sense:
less exposure are the chief causes OIL
colds. Care for these things greatly
reduces the danger of colds.
The man who sits in a drarsht, Tor,
instance. and exposes one part OF his
body In this way, may expect a cold.
On the other hand. the man who Is
SO much afraid of draughts that, he
lives in a close or stuffy. room, may
expect to contract a cold when he
goes into the open air. 81,
The open window which does not
create draught is the secret OF
pfupeT- pTecdutaOu. NEVER stay luSh

room that you create a draught where
you are sitting. "a III
Unsuitable clothing Is also to be
avoided. The man who puts on his
flannels in November and resolves not
to take them OH, except for a change.

Regulate your clothing according to
the weather; in warm spells, reduce
your clothing; In cold snaps. increase

body by additional clothing; or, &c
