Who still remain with me,
The found, the tried, the good, the true,
Upon life's troubled sea.
However fortune turns the wheel,
These friends are ever near,
Our hearts with friendship we do seal.
And friendship brings good cheer.
Friends clasp my hand and on me smile
They chase all gloom away.
And though the world should long reviie,
Old friends will make me gay.
Old friends are generous they are kind,
They will forgive, forget
Our little faults they do not mind.
Because they love US yet.
Their love is deep and it is strong,
They'll risk their all for me,
They make my life one happy song.

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 responsibiiities
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. It 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.
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 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

THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper a Most usefuI
Agency on the Farm-The Press,
Pulpit and School . Trinity Of
influences That Must Be
Utilized In Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter sadford
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 bIazoned 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 can
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 trinity of powerful in
fuences 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
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.
