Announcement

With this issue. Mr.. Henry C.
Whittier becomes editor and publish
or of the Essex County Herald, 1t
will be the aim Of this paper under
his administration to preserve the
identity Of Essex County as a news
center to obtain as much correspond
ence from the different towns in
Essex County as is possible as we'll as
to publish all important news items
from other outlying towns which
center around the village of Island
Pond. In politics, the HERALD will be
a Republican paper as 1t always was
under the long and faithful admins
tration of the late lsmented William
III. Bishop. In matters Of news
items and of general interest, the
HERALD will, however, treat all par
ties impartially. and will endeavor to
do everything possible for the pro-
motion OF the common interest of
Island Pond and the County of Essex
The typographical appearance of
this paper will be improved, insomuch
that we hope to make it a credit to
Its patrons and to increase it's sub
scriptions thereby. This is not
meant for any reflection upon our
predecessor. We are aware that he
was laboring under great difficulty,
which is always reasonable excuse
for falling short Of perfection or
even satisfaction.
1t is our earnest hope and desire
to make the HERALD an important
factor in the social, industrial, and
political life Of this community, in
return for which we hope to receive
the patronage of the public.
We intend to have we'll equipped
printing office, to do all work
promptly, and in an artistic and sat-
isfactory manner. at reasonable
prices.
With the ends in view above
stated, we proceed upon our course
with the strong hope that, by the
exercise of industry and fidelity, our
efforts may prove satisfactory both
to ourselves and the public.

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 blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan DAHL
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 I'M
derstood and illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are trinity of powerful In
fluences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
vi 6dulLCu III ONClS lul uA
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
its columns deal with subjects of most
vital importance to local life of the
community.

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 responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform it's mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate 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.
It has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages Of the city dsilies
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
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before 1t a thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems of
civilization at their fountain head. It's
mission is to direct growth, teach ef-
ficiency 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.

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 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 we'll 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.

Most women wash their hands too
much and their elbows too little.
One cannot expect to have nice
hands if one washes all the natural

any cream or oil on them.
For many years have given my
hands bath in warm olive oil about
once in ten days. Heat about pint
of oil as hot as you can bear your

This is not as expensive as it

He will be assigned by Supt Zemer lat

The board passed the janitors' pay
roll for the month of August.
There has been considerable discus
sion over the fact that number of Mt.
Vernon teachers resigned during the
summer months to accept positions
elsewhere. One member of the board
at the meeting Thursday evening read
from Cleveland newspaper that since
teachers were employed in the Cleve-
land schools early in the summer over
$50 have resigned to accept positions
in other cities. The board of educa-

tensively for salads, the owner re-
ceived $500 for the bud wood. The

Of Third Ward Engine House
By Council
To Determine Improvements
That Are Necessary

A recessed session of the city coun
Gil was held Thursday evening in the
office of City Solicitor Rooms, but
very little business was transaced.
All members were present, ex.
cepting Mr.. Salisbury President
Banning was in the chair.
A number of property owners re-
siding on Belmont avenue were
present to ask council to take some
action to placing tile at the side of
the street to AXE care of the water.
Remarks were made by Mr.. Fred
Taylor and Mr.. Stephey
Mr.. Weaver offered a motion that
the service director be instructed to
furnish 80 feet of 1S-inch title to be
used on the street for drainage pur-
poses and that the property owners
put the tile in position at their own
expense. The motion prevailed.
Remarks were also made relative
to the surnface water that comes
down the street and it was suggested
that the special committee, appointed
at the last meeting of council, meet
with the Clinton township trustees
to see if some plan could be devised
whereby the water could be taken
care Of
The matter of paving and sewering
West Burgess street from Main to
Mulberry street was again brought up
for discussion. 1t was the opinion of
City Engineer Blinn and most of the
councilmen that it was too late in
the year to proceed with the work
andit was decided to let the i'm
provement go over until next spring.
Before adiourning the members of
council decided to visit the third
ward engine house and see what i'm
provements are needed to the struc-
ture on the exterior and the interior.
Adjourned until Monday evening,
September 13.
The various members of council
then went to the engine house and
discuss the improvements that are
needed at once.
