THE RURAL PRESS
The local Paper a Most UsefW
Agency on the Farm-The Press,
Pulpit and School a Trinity OF
influence That Must Be
Utilized In Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

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
of the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are bfaZoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dal-
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 otttimes op-
scures the substance. 4 searching IN
yestigation 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 pup
lie affairs These gigantic agencies are
~ LA cyOay -
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 well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
Tor 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
sems. 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.
Sierra County advocate., 1916-03-03
A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by giy'
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 Its mission
to agriculture by recording the fraii-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
bitions 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.
II has q 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
gay to destruction. The rural press
ia 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 II thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems OF
civilization at their fountain head. Its
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
isIative, cooperative. educational and
social needs of the agricultural classes
within its respective community.

Both japanese and Russian sol

"Kamiko," as paper clothing ~
called in Japan, is made of the
real Japanese paper manufactured
from mulberry bark. The paper
has little "siZ" IN It, and, though
soft and warm, thin layer of silk

sheets of the paper, and the whole

CHEMISTRY 10 RULE WORLD
Men Of Learning Must Equip Them-
selves for the Future, Asserts
Writer on the Subject.

The nineteenth century has been de-
scribed as the age of physics and en-
gineering, since it witnessed such tri-
umphs as the development of steam
and gas engines, and the utilization of
electricity as source of light, heat
and power, and as a means of COM
munication. The twentieth century
will quite certainly be an age of chem
istry. Germany realized this. some
years ago. If we would not be left
far behind in the race, we must pursue
a similar course, and that at once. We
have yet to convince many of the ma
tions of the earth that the form of
government in which we believe, and
to establish which our ancestors died,
is the best not only for the freedom
and happiness of the individual, and
the development of the noblest intel
lectual and moral standards, but also
for the growth of the country in phys.
ical strength and resourcefulness, and
that in the hour of need it will not be
found wanting in the vital matter of
industrial efficiency and solidarity
which is the corner stone of all mill
tary power.
The law of the survival of the fttest
will be found as inescapable, i'm
mutable and inexorable in the case of
the nation as it is with individuals. 1t
listens to no explanations, accepts no
excuses, and knows absolutely no pity.
Our own country is beginning to awak-
en- to the, fact that civilization un-
armed by science is at terrible disad-
vantage in the event of a struggle for
existence, and that this arming cannot
be done at short notice. The result
is a loud and urgent call upon the uni
versities, colleges and technical
schools of the land for help.-Prof. M.
T. Bogert in Science.

LITTLE ESSAY ON "CULTURE"
From Writer'S Observations It Would
Seem He Is Net FaVorabIy I'm
pressed With 1t.

Culture is that which makes some
men wear their hair long. The Ger
mans spell it with OK" The hotbed
of culture is college hall. 1t may be
discovered lurking in almost all of
the halls there. Red neckties and vel
vet coats are always associated with
culture. Being properly endowed
with the aforesaid culture, one is able
to have horrible desire to make
America over, with the sleeves rolled
up and the arm barred. If you have
culture, it gives you license to come
into class late and to wear tortoise
shell glasses. Incidentally, it might
be said that the acquiring of the T. S.
specs is the first step in the process
Of culture. 1t has been limited that
culture Is found In the library, but cul-
tured ones claim that is not the real
variety but rather the canned va
riety. We have seen and heard some
of the cultured ones about our corri-
doris and have come to the conclusion
that if what we have seen is real cul-
ture, we will take fish.-Pennsylvan
Punch Bowl.

EaFIV Almanacs.

The almanacs-that is to say, the
first bistorical-were of Arabian ori-
gin, and reflected the local genius of
the people in very striking way.
They served as models in other coun-
tries for hundreds of years. The old
est known copy of such a work is pre-
served in the British museum, and
dates back to the time of Rameses the
Great of Egypt, who lived 1,200 years
before the birth of Christ. 1t is writ
ten on papyrus, in red ink, and covers
a period of six years. The entries rel
ative to religious ceremonies, to the
fates of children born on given days,
and to the regulation of business en-
terprises in accordance with planetary
influences. do nothing at all this
day." is one of the warnings. "If thou
seest anything at all this day it will be
fortunate" is another entry. Look
not at rat this day." Wash not
with water this day" are some of the
additional cautions.

The Law and the pinIomat.

Diplomats are immune from arrest
by the authorities of the countries
to which they are accredited, but their
own police can get after them. The
late Baron Won Kiderlen-Waechter dis.
covered this to his cost. In 1892.
when on leave from Copenhagen,
where he had recently been appointed
German minister, the baron fought a
duel with Berlin editor and wounded
him severely. For this offense he had
to stand his trial, and was sentenced
to three months imprisonment in the
military fortress of Ehrenbreitstein.
Christian TX, with whom the jovial
baron was a great favorite, raised no
objection to the appointment Of a
charge daffaires to watch over the
diplomatic interests Of Germany dur
ing the interval, and the prisoner OF
being released from Ehrenbreitsteip
Nturned to his duties.
