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. It cannot perform it's mission
to agriculture by recording the fraii.
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
bitions 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 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

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. It
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before it 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-
fciency 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 its respective community.

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer gets more out Of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man is an entertainment; to a
farmer it is education. Let us take a
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger moment at a few of the points
of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending congress Of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence Of all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues Of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story Of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
a brief period while we live, but it
takes master mind to tower into the
realm Of science and light torch Of
progress that will illuminate the path
way Of civilization for future genera
tions. The men who gave US the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds Of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time.
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown US how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught US lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work Of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back Of humanity. -
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
ventions have stood the acid test Of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause Of their marvellous achieve
ments.

TIE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper Most Usefu
Agency on the Farm-The Press, .
Pulpit and School Trinity of
influence That Must Be
Utilized in Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union


/: A broad campaign of publicity OF
the subject OF rural life is needed II
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 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-
yelop 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. It 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.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di-
rection Of cultured, clean and COM
petent, leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusementS instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as we'll as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives Of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements Of human
thought and activity.

Smile Rfoht.

But be sure it's the right kind OF a
smile-not the awning smile, not the

as q grin, but the smile which says
that the world is pretty good sort Of

No Two Fincec Prints Alike.

And every human being in the mat
ter Of finger prints is different 1roln
every other. Twins are not twins with
respect to these ulvarying identlnca-
ton marks. The little toWheaoeo
girls who have to be blue and red rlo'
boned to tell them apart are as unlike
in the finger prints as if they BE-
longed to entirely different fathers
and mothers. Family resemblance IS
a joke when you come to put the
finger tip prints under the magnifylng
glass. The digit marks make no &C.
count Of blue blood, aristocracy, de-

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 service
by teaching Disadvantages of modern
equipment throughout the columns Of
the rural press.

The second game was a contest of
thrills. Slattery started on The mound
for the &Ansons, and Walworth began

test was yet young when it was easily
seen the Arson twirler was much more
than match for Walworth and that
only by excellent fielding would the
Clay diggers be able TO take the game.
But Walworth got the support, and as
result lasted for five and two thirds
innings. 1t was the fifth that finished
