The Rural. PRESS
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-The Press,
Pulpit and School Trinity OF
I influence That Must Be
: Utilized lin Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union


A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life Is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
1ot 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 oo-
.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
fuences 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-
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 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. 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.

q newspaper Office can be used as
basis for estimation The most re-
quested recipe is for mustard pickles.

tablespoonful of salt for each quart
of cucumbers; let them lie IL hours,

seeds, two bay leaves, one small red
pepper, and, ii handy. few pieces OF
| horseradish root and little dill; boil
some white vinegar, allowing for each
jar one pint; add to every quart OF
vinegar one tablespoonful OF sugar;
boil three minutes; then set aside, and
when perfectly cold pour it over the
cucumbers; close the jars and place
them in a cool place.

Washington Administration Thought
Will Yield TO Carranza's Views

Washington, D. C.-General Car
ranza's counter proposal to the Pan
American diplomats for conference
with him over international phases of
the Mexican problem probably will be
approved, according to opinion ex-
pressed here by officials in touch with
the administration.
Although Carranza refused to yield
to the appeal of Secretary Lansing and
representatives of six Latin-American
republics that he join his adversaries
in peace conference, it was pointed
out here that military conditions in
Mexico had undergone marked changes
in the last few weeks, and in some
quarters it was eontended that Car
ranzsa's claims for recognition were
entitled to investigation.
Since the Pam American appeal was
issued, Carranza's armies have pressed
pacification of territory in Central and
Northern Mexico, while some reports
to the State department have declared
that General Villas forces are disin-
tegrating. From authoritative
sources advices have reached Washing
ton that it would be difficult to con-
duct a convention to select a provis-
ional government in Mexico without
the participation of Carranza and his
commanders, who assert now
that they control nearly all Mexican

Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, will call on Secretary
Lansing and will intimate that Cap
tain Franz Won Papen, German mill
tary attache, will be sent home, if a
safe conduct for him can be obtained
from the British government.
Ambassador Penfeld has cabled his
personal impression that Austria
Hungary will comply with the Ameri-
can request for the recall of DR.. Dunn
ba, leaving her interests here in
charge of the counsellor of the en-
bassy.
Count Won Bernstorff will explain
the exact connection of Captain Won
Papen with the Dumba strike plans.
There is no question that the ambassa-
dor feels that members OF his staff
should have no connection with strikes
or the creation of disorders in indus
trial factories. He does hold, how
ever, that Germany, as we'll as Aus
tria- Hungary, has the right to warn
her subjects that employment in fac
tories making munitions for the allies
is crime against the laws of their
country and that if they should return
