Better Community
Life is Urged

We wonder how many states in
the union are taking as strong and
efficient an interest in community
life as Iowaf 1t is to wonder why
all states do not so act in this i'm
portant matter because the life of
our communities is the very life of
the nation.
This editor has just been reading
the report of the recent "Second
Iowa Rural Life Conference" held,
we assure, in the halls of the State
College Of Agriculture. The home,
church, school and club are factors
in the creation of a common level of
high community fellowship and
neighborliness was discussed by Rev.
Peter Jacobs, who has given a sucz
cessful demonstration of his sub
ject-matter at Randolph. Another
speaker gave facts about home dem
onstration agents and the successful
efforts of farm bureau women in
getting hot lunches served in every
school in Iowa county.
Much successful community work
by the Y. W. G. A., the Y. M. C. A.,
and the Red Cross, was described. A
musical director told about the in
crease of community singing. Presi-
dent Hunt, of the Iowa Farm Blu
reaus, dwelt upon important prog
ress in the larger economic move
ments for betterment of rural life.
The State School Superintendent
gave the amazing information that
1000 one-room schools had been
consolidated, wonderful movement
toward better education.
The country agents, the farmers

organizations, and the State College
authorities everywhere are exerting
an enormous influence toward i'm
proved community life and it is our
belief that the country press and all
other progressive agencies should
assist them in every way, without
limit. Particularly should there be
more work of this kind in our coun-
try towns.

Ohio Wesleyan University at Del
aware, Ohio, and Case School O
Applied Science at Cleveland, Ohio
together with Yale University ant
Wesleyan University at Middletown
Conn.,, are the most recent higher
institutions to enlist aid of the
American Red Cross in establishing
Life Saving Corps among the hun
dreds Of student swimming enthusi-
asts.
Following the organization OF
what is believed the largest Life Saw
ing Corps in the world at the United
States Naval Academy, Annapolis,
Nd, by the Red Gross, there has
been daily evidence of increasing in
terest in this branch of First Aid
work at educational institutions.
The corps formed at Annapolis al
ready has enrolled more than 200
members, including many Of the Of
ficers Of the Academy as well as
from the ranks CT the midshipmen.
A Woman's Life Saving Corps
soon to be established at Ohio Wes-
leyan University in Lake Division of
the Red Cross will be the first corps
composed of women to be organized
in the central part Of Ohio.
A new member every other day is
the program being carried out by the
Life Saving Corps at Case. Since
in life saving was aroused
there enthusiasm in swimming has
become so intensified that Red
Cross Life Saving Corps Examiner,
Harry G. Stevens, has been engaged
to give aquatic instruction.
Courses to become part of the
curricula at Yale University at Wes-
cyan at Middletown, have been ar
ranged for early in the spring. The
instruction at Wesleyan will get
lnder way during the annual swim
ming meet between Amherst and

But tell him the automobile has

A revolution in China NAV be a

You see how it is: Newspapers
carry "news of merchandise" that
is Just as interesting, just as vital,
as the "news of events" which the
editors gather for us.
And since this "news of merchan-
disc" finds its only expression in the
form of Advertising, we must admit
that the Advertising columns are
quite worthy of our serious atten-
tion as the largest news heading or
the most ponderous editorial.
Shut your eyes to Advertising
and you shut out the news of com
progress and development
The news of things that make life
worth living.
Advertising has changed the face
Of the map. Advertising has revo-
the methods Of doing bus
mess. Advertising has magnified the
possibilities of business far beyond
our most optimistic fore
fathers ever dreamed of.
Advertising has brought to the
humblest home comforts and CON
veniences that were unknown 10
kings in former generations.
Advertising has raised the stond-

Advertising has made new and
