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,
aud enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frai1-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
billions or 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 cur
children from the farm.
1t 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
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 II
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. lis
mission is to direct growth, teach eff
flciency 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

What Is a Fair Hate7

We do not know what constitutes 4
basis for rate making and have never
heard or anyone who did claim to
know much about it, but if the pros
perity OF the farm is a factor to be
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that it come to US through articles Of
consumption on their journey from
The factory to the farm. We would,
for example, prefer that the rate on
hogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat and farm
er who will not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear al increase than
the rate on cotton and -four We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same, and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
er GARNER cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of increase.
The increase in rates should be SO
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part Of the bur
der. but let the farmer who boards
in other states and countries and
who feeds his stock in foreign lands,
pay the price of his folly.

The Power of Advertising.

The influence of advertising is clear.
~ visible in the homes and habits of
the farmers, and the advertising col
umna 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 in this respect. but
the advertiser can render a service
by teaching the advantages Of modern
equipment throughout the columns of
the rural press.

Universal Instinct fer Play.

In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one of the greatest meth
DDS by which human society has de-
yeloped. Association is never secure
until it is pleasurablei in play the in
stinctiye aversion of one person for
another is overcome and the social
mood is fOstered. Play is the chief
educational agency in rural commun-
tiles and in the play-day Of human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved. As individuals
come together in social gatherings,
their viewpoint is broadened. their
ideals are lifted aud finally they CON
stitute cultured and refined society.
It is plain, therefore, that the
church which aims at a perfected so
ciety must use in a refined and ex-
allied way the essential factors in
social evolution and must avail itself
OF the universal instinct for play.
If the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among its membership, it will
It'll large part of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and viii reap
