NEWS POLICY

I its readers as great variety of news
as possible that is of local interest.
We realize that most of you take at
least one daily paper, and that prac-
tically every rural home has its farm
weekly or monthly.
Therefore the state and general
news which we print is chosen for its
local interest, and condensed, Civ
ing you an opportunity to find in one
issue of The Journal interesting items
usually overlooked in the average
persons hasty perusal of the daily
press.
"Day by day in every way" we are
trying to more thoroughly perfect our
gathering system in this imme
diate community. In this our readers
can help, and your help will benefit
the entire community. We want So
cial items from the rural districts as
well as from the city. We want 90
Gals" from the farms as well as from
the city homes. We want to publish
items of farm improvements, of farm
organizations, of farm social life,-
the new buildings, new stock, crop re-
cords, breeding associations, testing
clubs, names of officers of these or
CARNATIONS and stories of their ac-
Invites; the church and women's
Clubs, the visitors from other locali-
ties, and those who go away to visit
elsewhere; the weddings, births. and
tributes to those who pass away. We
could devote column to classifying
diverse items from our farming COM
munity, but here we wish only to inn
press upon our rural subscribers that
we look for your items just as eagerly
as we do for those of our city read
erS.
Because we are located in the city
we have opportunity to get more of
the city news and this sometimes
gives the impression that the paper
prefers that to the rural news If
our rural patrons will see to it that
their own news is sent tt us-by
mail or pbone.-.we will be glad to
demonstrate that The Journal is for
the entire community. without preju
dice, for the farmer as we'll as the city
dweller.
: 1t is our own opinion that there is
much more really interesting local
news through the rura; districts than
n SOFA, 6 We could anl. get 3 it.
That's where we ask your help. You
like to read items from your neigh
bors; they like to read items from
your neighborhood. We like to print
them. Let's get together.
You will notice that The Journal
does not segregate the farmers items
under separate heading, such as
"The Farmers Page" and so forth.
Our reason is that every page of The
Journal is planned to contain items
of interest to the farmers as well as
our city readers. We believe that the
city folks are interested in whatever
concerns the farmers in this neigh
borhood, and that the farmers enjoy
reading the items about our city
folks. This is a farming community,
and that designation includes the city
of River Falls. So our "local" page
is devoted to city and rural patrons
alike, and where there are farm items
there are also stories about our towns
people.
The farmers are interested in the
city's doings-the new homes, bust
ness changes, the social affairs, the
entertainments, the weddings, the Wis
itors, and other phases of the town
life, and the city reader Is just as in
terested in the many activities which
concern their farmer friends in this
community.
We try not to separate them; we're
publishing The Journal for this COM
munity, and we want you all repre-
scented in its columns, farmers and
townspeople alike.
So we invite you all--River Falls,
town and city, Martell, Beldenville,
Clifton, Mann Valley, Troy, Kinnick-
kinnic, Pleasant Valley, New Center
vile, Trimbelle, Big River, Rock Elm,
Oak Grove, South Fork, Glenmont,
and the many other divisions and sub
divisions of this neighborhood--to
join in making The Journal your pa
per and booster for your commun-
ity Every item helps.
