A bread campaign OF publicity on

OF the farmers to the forefront. The

The rural press. the pulpit and the

They are local forces working for

Or, Thomas Nixon Carver, now di.
rector OF the government bureau of

made n thorough Investigation of the
prices OF farm products. says In his
book on the principles of Rural Eco
Monies" that the milk for which the
dealer in Worcester receives 2%e per
quart sold for eight cents in nearby
Boston. Milkmen drove all over the
city TO deliver a few gallons of milk.

livery man to follow him up or dupli,

probably be done for one,half cent per

Another reason for the high eight

the milk to contractor, (the con.

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. II cannot perform It's mission

ties. the mishaps and inordinate am
bitions OF humanity, or by fllling It's
columns with the echoes OF the strug

stories OF city life which lure our
children from the farm.
II has a higher aud nobler task
Too often the pages of the city dailier

Is the governing power of public senti,

In the roadatead of progress The
rural press can best serve the inter

energies TO the solution OF problems
affecting the local community. II

The Power Of Advertising.
The influence Of advertising Is clear
~ visible in the homes and habits of
the farmers, and the advertising col.
umns or 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

Russia to Quit Offensive.

Petrograd, Feb. l6.-The forced re
tirement of the Russian army from
East Prussia is expected to result I'm
reversion by the Russians to their
original plan OF conducting defen.
sive campaign on their own territory.
When an offensive campaign was
undertaken and the Russians invaded
East Prussia and Galicia early in the
war, the Germans were forced TO with.
draw large number of troops from
the west.
This was considered here to have
contributed largely TO the German re.
verse in the battle OF the Marne. Rus.
sian officials say that the object of
their offensive campaign has been
achieved and the disposition now is to
fall back to their original plan of de
fensiVe operations on Russian soil
along a line from the Nieman river
In the north, through Ostrolenka-Rai.
cred and on TO Graevo.
With this program in operation
Russian observers say, II probably will
be possible to retard the German ad-
vance and at the same time defensive
operations will be easier because the
Russians will be harassed no longer
by the lightning changes along the
German front.

STAIRCASE UNDERMINED
Flooded Tiber Does Considerable
Damage In Rome.

Rome, Feb. l6.-The great staircase
OF 800 STEPS ii :, .i1 la Ing from the
Trastevere station - the MJnteverde
section. hilly quarter OF the city, is
threatening TO col apse because OF un.
dermining by the waters.
Serious damages have been detected
In the Risorgimento bridge and all
passage over the structure has been
forbidden.
Information from the upper reaches
OF the Tiber indicates a further rise
in the flood water OF few inches.
after which, unless there should come
more rain, the waters undoubtedly
will begin TO go down.
The Tiber reached a maximum
height OF fifty-seven feet. 1t was
argued that the extraordinary rapidity
OF the current OF the Tiber would
serve very rapidly TO reduce the flood
stage.
At several street crossings around
the vatican soldiers had built tempo
rary wooden bridges. These with the
passing of boats up and down the
Hooded thoroughfares completed the
impression that section OF Venice
had been brought up to Rome.
