INSPIRATION Of
THE COUNTY FAIR
by Peter Radford.

When you enter. the agricultural de-
partment Of the county fair, you feel
your soul up1ifted and your life takes
on q new power-that 10 the inspirar
ton Of the. soil. You are overpowered
BY the grandeur and nagnlfcence of
the scene-that is the spirit OF the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the sofl-
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. It is good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market I'm the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as well. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain.
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
In artists: their purity furnishes mod
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won.
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor OF agricul
ture where nature is parading In her
most graceful attire and science In
climbing the giddy heights of perfec
ton, let us pause and take retro
spective view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful PROD
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at profit? Take the blush
Ing liberia. for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favorite
egetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want of o
market and as a result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's capitalist-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
It is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
1t is also well to remember that there
is market side to agriculture thai
does not reflect its hardships in tas
exhibits at county fair.

CAN'T AFFORD 1T

he other day merchant said he
couldn't afford to advertise in his home
newspaper If the mans view were not
distorted, he would See that he couldn't
afford not to advertise Refusing to adver-
tiSe is his most expensive extravaganza.
That Same merchant will spend hours
telling of the ''unfair'' competition of the
mail-order houses who are his most ag-
greSsive and dangerous competitors yet
the methods employed by the mail-order
the merchant refuseSssto use. The mail-order
house first of all is an ADVERTISER.
Advertising is the life of it's business.
Every magazine that enters the small
town and rural home carries the ad of the
mail-ord house. Expensive catalogs
are printed showing the illustrations of
the actual articles. Occasionally sheets
are scattered broadcast over the country
as a special 'tcome-on" for the bargain
hunter. Instead of doing these things in
smaller way through the columns of his
local paper, the merchant who can't af-
ford to advertise sits down and "cusses'
his tough luck and wonders why he can't
get the business. He never thinks he
has better opportunity to reach the
people in his neighborhood than the mail
order house has. 1t doesn't cost him as
much as it does the outsider; he can draw
the people4o his store and show them the
actual article he is advertising, and when
they buy, they can take their purchase
home with them instead of having to wait
for several weeks for it. Advertising is
an investment. 1t should be charged to
your selling cost. Figure what percen-
tage you have have to pay to advertise,
then base a fifty two weeks campaign on
the computation. You can't lose. You
can't afford NO to advertise.

ARE YOU EDUCATED?

A professor of the University of
Chicago has evolved series of test
questions for the educated which he
avows, are the best evidences of a
real education. If you can answer
yes" to all the questions, you are
truly educated, the professor says.
Here are the questions:
Has education given you sympathy
with all the good causes and made
you espouse them?
Has it made you public spirited?
Has it made you a brother to the
weak?
Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them?
Do you know what it is to be a
friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or
pure woman in the eyes?
Do you see anything to love in a
little child? -
Will lonely dog follow you in
the street?
Can you be high-minded and
happy in the meanest drudgeries of
life?
Are you good for anything your
self?
Can you be happy alone?

The Power Of Advertising.

The influence of advertising is clear
1y visible I'm the homes and habits OF
the farmers, and the advertising col
umns of the press are making 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
uries of life. We need more art. sci
ence and useful facilities on the
farms, and many homes and farms
are well balanced i'm this respect but
the advertiser can render a service
by teaching the advantages of modern
equipment throughout the columns Oh
the rural press.

A broad campaign of publicity =,

this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront. TIL
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali

seldom told. except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes oh.
scures the substance. A searching in.
vestigation into the needs of tbo
farmers will reveal many inherent de.
fects in our economic system that can

er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are trinity of powerful in.
1uences 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 i'm 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 we'll
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
it's columns deal with subjects of most
vital importance to local life of the
community. -

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
hess. 1t cannot perform it's missioni
20 agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and fnordinate 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.
tt 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.

Is the governing power of public senti'

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 lis moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before it thousand
boys and girls per day. It has to deal
with the fundamental problems OF
at their fountain head. Its
mission is to direct growth, teach ef-
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 it's respective community.

the bill are planning to make a hot
fight against It there.
Never did legislative machinery
work with greater facility than in the
passage thus early in the session OF
the act designed to prevent express
companies of the state from further
holding up money due from them to
the state for taxes, 1t is seldom that
A measure so important as this slips
through the complicated legislative
process without a voice raised in OPP
position in either house and without
a negative vote.
On Tuesday the house passed the
bin unanimously and on Thursday
the senate gave 1t a unanimous vote.
No attempt was made to amend the
bill. AS soon as ii was passed by
the senate 1t was enrolled and signed
by the governor and carrying the
emergency clause is now the law Of
the state.
The reason for the haste is shown
n the wording of the emergency
clause in the bill:
Whereas, the collection of some
of the taxes now due may be e%njoin-
ed, therefore, an emergency is hereby
declared to exist"
The fact that express companies of
South Dakota now hold nearly $780,
600 of tax money belonging 20 the
state, which is tied up by injunction
and awaiting the slow process of
trials and appeals in the courts TO
determine its final disposition, and
the further fact that the 1915 tax
collections are about to be made and
were likely to be tied up in the same
manner, caused the legislature TO
give demonstration of "a pull all to-
gether."

after The PRIMARY
INDICATIONS THAT RICHARDS
LAW WILL BE REPEALED

Pierre, Jan. 25.-Rumblings Of a
coming onslaught by the legislature
on the Richards primary law have
been heard ever since the session
started. The first gun was fired on
the third day OF the session. when the
house instructed the committee on
privileges and elections to prepare a
bill amending or repeating the Rich
ards law.
Thursday, Senator McMasters of
Yankton county delivered a broad
side when he introduced senate bill
No. 80, repeating the Richards law,
and replacing on the statute books
the law in effect previous to two
years ago. 1t is likely the legislature
will have a number of bills to select
from when it seriously takes up the
question of repeating the present pri-
mary law.
Senator Urdahl's bill making the
governor superintendent of the cap
itol building and grounds, with pow
er to employ a deputy starts a Pierre
newspaper to talking about creating
more offices, but In this case the crit
icism is not warranted. The bill Gre
ates no additional offices. The duties
of the head janitor, who is now paid
$500 per year will be taken over by
the deputy provided for In the bill.
There Is much speculation as to
what the senate will do with the bill
abolishing capital punishment which
passed the house after some lively
opposition. The senate is said to be
more evenly divided on the proposi-
ton than the house and opponents OF
