and surely the time has arrived when
we should begin to break them down.
They stand in the way of making the
home newspaper what it would like
and ought to be. After all they are
not the honest to goodness, real heart
attitudes Of our farmers. We are talk
ing constantly about cooperation in
solving our farm problems. There
cannot be healthy cooperation with
out confidence and faith in one an
other, and these should exist openly
and frankly among farmers to such
an extent that they can support the
editor Of the home newspaper by Civ
ing him a full opportunity to bring
out the best things concerning the
rural life of the community which
his paper represents.-W. c. Coffey,

The Farmer and Editor.

On an automobile trip to Fergus
Falls last summer it was my privilege
to call on editors, bankers and law
yers in the principal towns through
which we passed. In the banks we
frequently saw agricultural products
on display and in one or two in
stances we saw similar displays in
the newspaper Offices. In every case,
we found the editors sympathetic to-
ward problems of the farmer and
they always manifested interest in
the farmer himself. This interest led
me to wonder whether or not the
farmers fully realize how much the
home newspaper means to them and
how much more it could mean if they
were to cooperate with it in fullest
degree.
There is splendid material for news
paper articles coming out of the OPP
erations on the good farms in any
progressive agricultural community.
Such articles appearing in the home
newspaper should be appreciated by
the people Of both country and town.
l say this because know they are
read with much interest when they
appear in general farm papers. am
told, however, that there is a ten
dency on the part of farmers to jibe
and josh their neighbors who happen
to be played up in the newspapers.
1t is almost impossible to conceive of
this being done to the extent that
farmers are reluctant to cooperate
with the editor in featuring those
operations on their farms which their
fellow farmers should know about,
but l am told that it is. They are
made to feel as though they have an
lake to grind" "a political bee" in
their bonnet, or something else
equally reprehensible.
There is feeling, too, that farmers
as class, are very reluctant to &C
knowledge the merit and leadership
of their nearby neighbors. Such at
titudes stand in the way of progress

Country life needs the assistance
of far-seeing men and women. Each
community must have a percentage
of unselish, helpful farmers and their
wives who are willing to build up the
weak places in their community at
personal sacrifices.
Farm life has it's disadvantages;
so has city life. Because the rural
school needs attention, the country
church needs aid, and the spirit of
,neighborliness and cooperation is
weak in many communities, the
county offers a wide field for tire
less, tactful service, which result in
a corresponding development of the
individuals engaged therein.
Farm and home bureaus, backed
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, are doing a wonderful
work but they will reach their limit
grasp the opportunities they offer and
fit them to their needs.
"One's words go far in a rural COM
munity and ones influence counts
There are dangers threatening the
; very foundations of American farm
life and in order to decrease them
farmers must put forth sound, sane
and well-balanced efforts. They must
read, think and act.

but it never has to be. A mind filled
with large interests is never narrow

circumstances OF the death OF the

fall after being struck by a bullet
from the direction of the mine. He
said Henderson was unarmed.
The defense called seven wit

previously announced contention
that the slayings were justifiable
homicide. 1t attempted to show
that extreme provocation resulted
from Importation of armed guards
and non-union miners during the
coal strike. Witnesses also told
