it has been pointed out that to find
its way into the homes of the people
a local newspaper must be strong in
local stories, local items, correspond
ence. Such a paper is, of course, a
good advertising medium. 1t wins
and maintains circulation and is
therefore an effective channel Of
publicity, profitable to both it's pub
Usher and it's advertising patrons.
But it's production is hardly mans
Job if no attempt is made to explain
some of the important news which it
spreads abroad To so explain the
more important current events as to
make for the good of the community,
county, state and nation is the high
est duty of the newspaper editor. To
encourage us in the performance of
this true and laudable undertaking
is doubtless the reason why our
publications are given free circula-
tion and accorded other rights and
benefits under the postal laws.
Follow Straight Path of Duty.
In starting out as rural editor in
discussing public questions you may
not receive marked encouragement.
The town wag may sarcastically call
you "molder of public opinion"
etc. But do not be turned aside from
the path of duty. Keep right on,
saying things in good, plain words
that will impress themselves on the
minds of the people, and you will get
a hearing.
You will get hearing all the more
readily if you devote some of your
editorial articles to local matters. If
you find member of the common
council Or the county board or other
public officer who is serving selfish
interests rather than the public well
fare, train a publicity gun on him.
The game will not protect him.
There is little new under the sun.
Human nature does not change very
much. 1t is ever the fight of ST..
George and the dragon, and the most
common dragons of modern life are
corruption and inefficiency in munich
pal government. Fight for the right
in this and other matters because it
is right, and the people will support
you.
First of all prepare for your life's
work by securing a good education.
Study diligently the history and gov
eminent of your country and lay up a
good store of general knowledge.
But, above all, in the fear of the
Lord and for your souls salvation,
read the Bible, that great book of
life. Read to mark and to learn, and
you will incidentally acquire a punch
in your expression that you can ac-
quire in no other way.
BY way of preparedness it is also
well to learn to do little public
speaking. You may be called upon
at some town meeting or other COM
munity gathering to explain some of
your printed words. There are two
ways in which to speak in public.

Thousands of women have kidney and

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-

to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am

toms of kidney trouble.

PROPER CARE OF
new AUTOMOBILE
Much Trouble Can Be Traced to
Neglect in Making ADJUST
ments Essential to Start.
DRIVER OFTEN IS CARELESS
Owner Should Start His Motoring Ca
reer With Fixed Idea That His
Car Is a Piece of Machinery
Requiring Attention.

The life of an automobile depends
considerably upon the care which it
receives. Most of the motor-car trouble
can be traced to putting off ADJUST
ments that can be regularly attended
to. Carelessness of the owner has
been the cause in many cases, hence
he Is to blame for the short service OF
his car.
Begin Care With Purchase.
Proper care of the car should begin
with the purchase. Right then the
owner should start his motoring ca
reer with the fixed idea that his auto
mobile is a piece of machinery, sub
ject to wear and requiring Just as
much attention as you would bestow
on a dynamo, a grandfather's clock or
q radio outfit.
Keeping this In mind will Offset
the common impression that many
motorists possess. Not a few drivers
have sentimental thoughts concern
ing their cars, believing that they VIII
always stand up without proper at
tention. Such men are usually dis
illusioned Just when the service of
their car means most to them.
Regular attention and care pro-
longs the service of the car to vastly
greater extent than periodical COM
plete overhaullngs. Get the habit Of
inspecting your car before making a
trip, Just the same as the far-sighted
horseman will rub his hand over his
animal before mounting.
Inspect Vital Parts.
A glance under the hood with the
motor running, attention to any sound
not In tune, measurement of gas,
water and oil, test of the wires and
tires will be well worth the slight de-
lay In starting. Such an inspection
of vital parts will offset unnecessary
annoyances and greater delay later on
the trip.
The motorist should study the COM
plete instruction book as supplied him
by the manufacturer in order that he
will know the proper care of all the
parts of his car. AS he becomes IA
miliar with as many parts as possible
he will fully realize that service rests
primarily upon the attention the car
receives.

WELLESLEY HILLS. Mass, Nov.
1S.-Copper stocks have been show
ing more life Of late and evidence a
tendency to act quite independent
of the rest of the market. Roger
w. Babson accounts for this change.
by calling attention to . shift in the
conditions which control the cop
per industry.
''The copper stocks" says Mr..
Babson, like any others are gov
erned by a combination of the con-
ditions in the security market and
the factors that control the produce
ton and consumption of copper.
1.-THE industry" continues Mr..
ton than it has been for the past
four years. In other words. it has
taken the industry practically this
length of time to recover from h
abnormal producing conditions and
heavy stocks built up during the
war years. Due to the continuance
of heavy stocks which, at the high
point in 1919, amounted to over n
billion pounds, production has been
slumped from the wartime price of
$50 for e~lectrolytic copper to a low
point of 12c reached about a year
ago.. The industry has suffered in
the present period Of readjustment
to a greater extent than probably
any other important industry.
1.-THE fact that copper in its man
ufactured forms has excellent wear
ing qualities has worked to the dis
advantage of the industry during
the past two or three years. For
example. in the case of ammuni-
ton abroad, all of the shell was des-
troyed except the copper cartridge.
This, as you remember, was used
again and again and at the end of
hostilities, large stocks of unused
brass and copper cartridge went Tor
industrial purposes. Reclaimed
supplies are now greatly diminished
SO that the demand for new copper
will gradually increase from now
on.
production has been gradually
increasing since the first of the year.
Production during the war years
averaged well over $50 million
pounds monthly. Compare this with
an output during 1921 averaging un-
der 25 million pounds monthly. In
fact, even exports last year were
materially heavier than the total
United States production. Produc-

Jersey produced over one-third OF
all the oilcloth and linoleum manu-
featured in the United States last
year leading all the other states in
this industry.
While there was a slight increased
activity in this industry IN 1921 over
1919, with greater number OF en-
ployees and salaries and wages
paid, the value of the materials used
and the manufactured. product
showed a decrease, accoi Sing to sta
tistics gathered by the United States
Census Bureau and made public to-
day.
The great drop in this group of
Industries was in the manufacture
OF enameled oilcloth, which de-
creased in quantity from 8.461.000
yards valued at $~3,421,000 in 1919
to S3,007, 900 yards valued at ST.
015,00G in 1921, or about IS per-
cent.
On the other hand there was an
increase of "a percent. in manufac-
ture of table, wall and shelf oil
cloth; % percent in inlaid linol-
Gums, and 10 per cent. in lineoleums
made on jute back.
OF the 20 oilcloth and linoleum

are located in New Jersey; 5 In
