many town people still think so.
Many small town people, too, still
think that their chief relations and
interests are with the cities rather
than the country. The most far-see-
ing business men have come to know
better. They are seeing more and
more clearly that the town, the small
city, is an integral part of the coun-
try, that it prospers only as the coun-
try prospers, and that it is its place
in the scheme of things to be the life
center of the country about it. The

erative buying of selling by the
farmers of his territory, the town
banker who would hinder the cstab-
lishmcnt of farm loan associations il.

You And Your Country papcr

A farmer told me a story once
about another farmer who went TO
the editor of his country paper and
objected to the sort of news thepa-
per was giving
What sort of news do you want 2"
the editor asked.
II want to know about the county
finances" said the farmer, "where
our road money is being spent. What
our county superintendent and board
OF education are doing, what is really
coming into our local markets and
what 1t is actually bringing, what
farmers over the county are doing
IN the way of farm improvements and
community bettcrmcnt Theses things
ought to be as interesting as the
society and personal notes to which
you give so much space, and they are
vastly more important"
And, as the story was told me, the
editor impressed by the "kick" and
the rcasonablcsncss of it, proceeded
to give his readers such news.
Now, to my thinking, there are n
whole lot Of farmers who ought to
be talking the same way to the edi
tors of their county papers. What is
more, they ought to be helping those
editors to make their papers more
VITA and to get in closer touch with
the rural sections. A live county pa-
per IS one of the biggest assets n
county can have. A dead" paper or
one that is keeping alive just to save
funeral expenses, is liability rather
than an asset. Some editors woud
make dead paper in the Invest com
muhlty; but most will make inst
about the sort of paper that their
people demand. The papers "A county
has are generally fair guide to the
spirit of the county itself.
1t follows, then, that the man who
complains about his local paper-
and ! have heard numbers of farm
ers do fought to help to make il
better. Often good talking to" the
editor, presentation of the farm
point of view and an insistcnce on
the papers getting something of that
opInt of view into its columns, will
help a lot. Always, whole-hearted CO.
operation with the paper will help

Tor 1t, tell 1t the news when you have

something to sell, express your viws

a, No"Hty papers are serving
their farmer readers as we'll rs they
might, 1t seems to me. But the farm
ccrS themselves are largely rcspons-
ible for this. The farmer who will
grumble about the poor paper he is
getting, IT is safe to say, outnumb-
ers, the farmer who will really trv
to help his local editor make n more

A subscriber called in the other
day, and gave the Editor J." piece

The Editor always welcomes and

little blame and fault finding now
