This newspaper game is a peculiar
one in many ways, with numerous
rough roads to travel Our chief
function is to publish the news of the
community. That's what our hum
dreds of readers expect of US, and we
strive hard to please you by publish
ing all of the live news available. We
consider it great pleasure to publish
an item of news which is of interest,
especially so when the news is a
scoop" over most of the people in
the community, who have not heard
of certain happenings until they see
it in the Advocate. To do this
we must necessarily be ever on the
alert for news story to "break OUT
and be ready to secure the facts in de-
tail first-hand. But that's our busi-
ness, and no matter what the OBJ
stacles are, We must overcome them
and get the facts of the story. We
cannot afford to be backward in this
news reporting game. but be prepar-
ed to ask questions from persons who,
in many instances, are reluctant to

ACTIVITIES OF
COLO. WHEAT
GROWERS ASSN.

The membership drive of the Colo
RADIO Wheat Growers Association,
which started a little more than a
month ago is continuing and nearly
every succeeding week brings larg-
er number of contracts.
The Association has started organi-
zation work in number of new To-
calities and number of field men are
bringing the message to the farm in
various wheat growing localities over
the state. The first effort for an ad-
ditiona signatures was started re-
Gently in Phillips county. Phillips
county members had third of the
wheat in the pool when the Colorado
'dAro-iatiOn was incorporated, and
field men who have started work in
Phillips county feel confident that 80
per cent of the growers will sign the
agreement. They report that all of
those who have put wheat through the
association this year are elated over
the prospects of its success. and the
satisfactory way the association has
been handled.
Solicitors who are working in Weld
county held very successful meet
ing at Briggsdale recently and have
another meeting for Briggsdale for
March 18th. The Briggsdale country
was visited recently by a heavy snow
which made travelling and work near
ly impossible.
The local members at Willard met
Thursday. March 9Th, after the COM

Willard and perfected their local.
Willard is the banner local in that

success of the field men working up
