Farmers Better Service

e.
We have just completed arrange
ments for the publication of special
section which will appear twice each
month as a part of our paper. This
new feature will be known as our Town
and Farm section, and will be edited
with view to making it of special in
terest to the men and women living
on the farms and in the small towns.
The first issue will appear the last
week in August, and on the second and
fourth weeks in each month thereaf-
ter.
This special feature will not in any
sense be cheap editorial feature.
On the contrary it will be the best that
money can buy. In arranging for
editorial and pictorial matter we have
dubbed with the 80 other members Of
the Washington Newspaper Associa-
ton. Thru this cooperative effort we
will spend for pictures, special articles
and features Of various kinds over
100000 the first year.
Our Town and Farm section will
have departments devoted to dairying,
orcharding, wheat raising, alfalfa pro-
duction, sheep, hog and cattle raising,
bee keeping, poultry production, farm
mechanics, fashions, state news, news
Of the various farmers organizations,
special humorous and pictorial fea-
tures. and household pages. In addi-
tion there will be department given
over to farm merchandising and
stories and special articles for the
men and women living in the small
towns. goar 9sao-u1
Each department will be edited by
an acknowledged expert-the ablest
and most successful that the combin-
ed resources of the papers in the
Washington Newspaper Association,
which are the leading and most sue
cessful papers in the state, can hire.
And they will be men and women who
know local conditions, and whose ex-
perience was gained right here in
Washington. These experts will work
under the direction of Mr.. Frederick
Ornes, an experienced newspaper pub
Usher, who has been secured as edi-
torial director.
In making this preliminary an
nouncement there is one thing that we
want to emphasize. There will be no
preaching in this supplement. We be-
ieve that the farmer and small town
man has been preached at until he is
tired. There will be no "do this" and
"do that's" in our special Town and
Farm section. Instead it will be filled
with stories of actual accomplishment.
We will have men who have done
things tell about their methods, their
way of meeting their various prob
lens, and the actual results accom-
plished. This section will be the re-
cord OF Things done, rather Cnah the
things some unknown writer thinks
you should do.
The business department of the sec
ton will be handled by the Washing
ton Newspaper Association with a
main Office in the L. C. Smith build
ing, Seattle and offices in the Adver-
tising building, Chicago, and Tribune
building, New York. The well known
bond house, The Irving Whitehouse
Company, investment bankers of Spo-
kane and Seattle, will be the fiscal
agents, and will handle all matters
relating to the financing.
We make this announcement to our
readers with full confidence that they
will find our special magazine section
a valuable addition to our paper, and
the best thing of it's kind in the
Northwest today.
