WHY WE DO OR DON'T

The publisher of the Gering, Nebr.,
Midwest. Will NJ Maupin, writing on
the reason why the average country
paper selects the kind of news that go
into its columns, makes the following
observations which are worthy of COM
mendation to some of the publishers
of supposed "entel prising?" newspa-
pers published in the larger cities.
Every now and then something
comes up in a small city that becomes
common talk whereupon a number
of people ask the editor: Why don't
You print something about it?' The
real answer to the question is: The
editor does not want to print it, and
as it is his own newspaper he has
a right to decide what shall appear
therein or what shall not appear there
in. But it may not be out of place to
give few of the reasons why the av-
erage small city newspaper does not
print common gossip or scandal. In
the first place, the average editor de-
lItS " htCp lllo IoiuIllllo SlCS.h' l1V 10
averse to making his newspaper So
cial sewer He does not want to har-
row the feelings of the innocent who
always suffer more than the guilty in
the case of scandal. Giving the news
is something moer than mel ely telling
all that is going on in the community.
This humble little newspaper could
ill it's columns with pretty spicy read
ing if it felt so disposed, but it does
not. 1t prefers to be and remain a
newspaper that may be head by every
of the family, not merely be
he favorite publication of a lot of
ascivious mindful folk who revel in
social filth. The newspaper that de-
lights in undertaking may flourish for
| time, but the clean newspaper will
ast the longest and WELD the most in
luence. The newspapers first duty is,
If course, to it's readers. But the Mid
vest believes that it's readers prefer
hat its columns be kept free from
scandal and gossip"

majority, undeniably by one legally
binding. They are the only judges quail.
fed to arrive at a decision affecting
their immediate interests.
The reluctance of other states to
embark in enterprises similar TO
those which North Dakota plans 10
finance through bond issues and to
operate as state institutions may seem
TO them praiseworthy conservation
With equal right the wheat farmers
of North Dakota have plunged into
radicalism and pledged their ability
TO pay the cost of the venture in re-
turn for the benefits they anticipate.
If no state were prompted to test out
new theories of government because
the other states were more cautious
or backward the hope of progress
would be denied and stagnation would
follow.
1t is part Of the American system
that the states within the realm of
their jurisdiction shall explore on
their own account untrodden paths
and taste the fruits of their discover
les, bitter or sweet. Because Oregon
is led into strange adventures, New
York is not bound to initiate its ex-
ample. Because Oklahoma yields to
rashness, Massachusetts need not feel
tempted to throw common sense to
the winds. Hasty demonstrations in
prairie finance undertaken in good
faith may only confirm older commu-
mites of the east in their settled con-
victiOns.

enough to keep all parts beneath the
surface for the rest of the season. A
disk harrow is very good tool for
the purpose In case the land cannot
be disked frequently enough to keep
the plants down, replowing later in
the fall will be advisable.
Quack grass eradication is a task
that calls for continual watchfulness
and energy. There is no use of start
ing the job unless ii can be followed
up. If it is followed up from July l
to October / very complete job of
eradication can be performed.
In looking for Quack grass 1t would
be well to watch also for other noxious
weeds. making as sure as possible that
none go to seed and that the root
stocks of perennials are prevented
from spreading.

Ewing Overseas Band was present,

noon, which was followed by a fine
lecture on patriotic problems by DR.

this circuit but one who is a strong
speaker with an important story TO
tell that means much for the recon
struction of the world after war. In
the evening the great band gave full

that it was musical treat. All these
boys were in the war and have seen
service on the front. They show the
value of daily training and their con-

the testing of seed corn and the selection of varities may be had by writing to the Col lege of Agriculture at Fayette- vile.
 Where there is a scarcity of seed corn the farmers of the community should get together and arrange to order in car lots so as to get the best price and the best freight rates. It is going to be difficult to get good native seed corn. The Extension Division, College of Agriculture, Fayetteville, the U. s.

SEED CORN

In some parts of Arkansas the corn crop last year was a failure and where there were fairlr qeJa yields the grain in most instances is of poor quail ty and shows the effects of the severe summer drouth. This means that good seed corn for spring planting is going to be scarce. If Arkansas is to have a good corn crop in 1919 the farmer must have good seed seed suited to the climate and strong in germinating quality.
 Farmers who have their seed put away should this month test every ear for ger imitation and reject the ears that fail to show vitality. This IS a simple process. Every school boy should know how to germinate grain. A wet cloth and a warm temperature will sprout the seed in a few hours and by the sprouts you may know the ears from which the grain came.

Tells of Inhuman and Brutal Treatment Received While \
 in German Prison

Camp Pike, Mch. L. Enos E. Frazer believed ..o bc the only Arkansas boy held a pris. oner by the Germans for five months, before his discharge here, revealed another chap. ter of the story of German brutality toward American prisoners. Frazier fought il the Chateau Thierry drive and now he has just left fol his home at South Fork, Fultor County, where a widowed mo ther, from whom he has no1 heard since May, 1918, is wait. ing to greet her son.
 In relating his experiences to interested groups of listen. CTS at Camp Pike, Frazier dis. played wonder at the newspa- per references to criticisms of the Y. M. c. A. "A " man helped me to get out of Ger many he said, in telling of his capture and escape.
 Frazier was captured on the fifth day of the Chateau Thierry. drive while under an apple tree trying to loosen a shell which had got stuck in his gun.
 Something hit me on the head,' said Frazier. '1 turned and saw a bunch of Germans who had slipped around and got to me from the back. I tried to fight back, when one of them-an officer, I think, hit me with a club. Our sec- ond wave was coming on and the Germans who caught me were dropping around me. Yelling swine they beat and kicked me and when our sec ond wave was near they grab bed me and partly dragged me toward their line, one of them holding a pistol on me. I knew they'd kill me if I tried to fight longer. When they got me to their line they grabbed my ra- tions, and went for the food as though starved. One of them a sergeant probably, put his heavy pack on my back and then, sho. up as 1 was, I had to walk tive miles with that pack on :as' back. l tried to walk straight, because when l didn't they'd beat me up and kicked me-"
