Urges Clean Newspaper Columns.
"As soon as the newspaper can es-
tablish good relationships between the
country people and the town people
it will have accomplished the bes,
service that it can do," said George
B. Shaffer, editor of the Lancaster Re-
publican, in his talk this afternoon, on
1.-The Service of a Newspaper to a
Community.
Mr.. Shaffer emphasized the import
ance of the newspapers keeping their
columns clean. "The man who prints
a whisky advertisement in his part
ner is a co-partener of the whisky
dealer. The newspaper editor should
win the confidence of the people and
show them that he has their interests
at heart. We must cater to the coun-
try people for therein lies the bulk of
the business of the country editor"
Tells Of woman's Post in Journalism.
Whether or not the work of editing
and managing country newspaper is
adapted to a woman depends entirely
upon the woman" began Mrs. Lily
Herald Frost, editor of the Vandalia
Leader, this afternoon in her talk on
Rural Journalism as a Field for
Women" There is no sex about
work. The demands of the situation
are the same for men or women. Aft
er 80 years connection with the news
paper business, / should not unquali-
fiedly advise a woman to take upon
herself the duties of country editor" /"
"In the propagation of the ethical
in striving for the best in education,
In religion, in charity, in the manifold
things that develop community life,
things that uplift, certainly no work
could have more appeal to the right
woman than the editing of a country
weekly"

Conclusive proof that good things

of j. L. TAFT, Ruebel-Brown Adver-

purpose Of an advertisement should
be to put across the one big idea that
dominates it.
advertising to sell your own
statesmen is the most profitable kind
Of advertising matter" he declared.
advertising which convinces and
puts enthusiasm into the company's

The law which permits Americans
of long service with the government to
retire with q three-year pension rang
ing from Sc per cent OF years salary

sible for the number Of American re-
tirements which have increased very
largely since the law was passed. Tnc

more.
