TOWN AND FARM SECTION
RCHHAN COUNTY READERS
First Number Last of August
Twice Each Month Thereafter
Especially Devoted to Wash

We have just completed arrange
for the publication of special sec
ton which will appear twice each
month as part of our paper. This
new feature will be known as our
Town and Farm section, and will be
edited with a view to making it of
special interest 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 thereafter.
This special section will not in any
sense be a 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 80 other mem
bers of the Washington Newspaper
Association. Through this co-opera-
tive effort we will spend for pictures
special articles and features of vari-
GUS kinds over $4,000 the first year.
Our Town and Farm section will
have departments devoted to dairy
ing, orcharding, wheat raising, alfal
ia production, sheep, hog and cattle
raising, bee keeping, poultry produc-
ton, farm mechanics, fashions, state
news, news of the various farmers
organizations, special humorous and
pictorial features, and household
pages. In addition there will be
department given over to farm mer-
chandising and stories and special
articles for the men and women liv-
ing in the small towns.
Each department will be edited by
an acknowledged expert-the ablest
and most successful that the COM
bined 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 viii be men ad 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
publisher, who has been secured as
editorial 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 believe that the farmer and
small town man has been preached
at until he is tired. There will be
no "do this" and "do that" in our
special Town and Farm section. In
stead, it will be filled with stories of
actual accomplishment. We will have
men who have done things tell their
methods, their way of meeting their
various problems, and the actual re-
suits accomplished. This section will
be the record of things done, rather
than the things some unknown writ
er thinks you should do.
The business department of the
section will be handled by the Wash
ington Newspaper Association with
a main office in the L: C. Smith
Building, Seattle, and offices in the
Advertising Building, Chicago, and
Tribune Building, New York. The
well known bond house, The Irving
Whitehouse Company, well known
investment bankers of Spokane 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 its kind
in the Northwest today.
