LINDEN GETS PLENTY

Just $16.17 represented the diff
ference in postal receipts in Lyn-

The 1914 total, according to Post
master d. w. Bender was $5505.24
and that of 1913. $5521.41.
The lowering in parcel post rates
accounts for the falling off, as the
postoffice has done the same amount
of business. The Christmas busi-
ness this year was $3.50 less, due to
reductions in parcel post costs. The
increase in box rents, amounting to
$3.50, helped make up the difference

to agriculture by recording the frail-

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 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.

in the roadstead of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter.

energies to the solution of problems

must stem the mighty life current

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.

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 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 a trinity Of powerful in
fiuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a 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 we'll

publications as he may find profitable.
