WHAT is EXPECTED OF
THE HOME NEWSPAPER

We often wonder whether the peo-
pie of our modern home communi-
ties appreciate their local newspa-
pers. 1t is evident that most of them
do' because local newspapers are
prospecting more than ever before
But the local newspaper is by most
people accepted as a matter of
course without realization of its
true value to the community.
One prominent man, interested in
the success of our newspapers, made
an interesting illustration in paving
MS tribute to the local newspaper.
"Out yonder stands a locomotive
on a railroad track" he said. CIV
erything about it is in order: water
IN the boiler, coal in the tender. en-
glneer at the throttle, but it can't
move. All it lacks is steam. Remove
the newspapers from the state. take
away the steam, and this state. anv
state, would soon be a common
wealth of idle people with it's credit
gone. Weeds would grow in the
streets, our farmers would look for
pastures newer, manufacturers
would depart from us and our peo-
pie would seek new fields of labor"
All of which is of course true
The metropolitan paper is all right
IN its way. 1t brings us the news of
the nation and of the world at large.
But the home newspaper is a part
OF us, part of the lives of the neo-
pie themselves. 1t brings them the
news of their neighbOrs and friends
It boosts the community in which
they live and helps to promote its
progress and its prosperity Without
the local newspaper the community
would indeed be like the engine
without steam.
If there is a project on for the To-
cation of new factory, the local
newspaper is called on to boost the
plan by showing what a beautiful
and what a live community ours is.
II new Improvements are sought or
new buildings are constructed il is
the local newspaper which gives
the encouragement and announces
the proud fact of achievement to the
world. 1t is in the local newspaper
that the local merchants acouaint
the people with the goods they have
TO sell. The metropolitan paper |
Keeps us in touch with the world but |
covers too wide field to boost our
community or the merchants of our
home town.
There is, something else to be said.
TOO. The wise editor of a home town
paper is one who realizes full well
that his home community and the
news of the home community should
come first. If the home town editor
seeks to pass lightly over home af-
[alrs and to ape the METROPOLITAN
paper, his newspaper loses much of
us value to the community. The
nome ought to appreciate its local
newspaper and the editor must give
10 the home town a local newspaper
worthy of the community's suppOrt.
Most of them do. That is WHY thew
ire on the upgrade all over the
country.

domestic market must be protect.
ed. will use my office and fnfiu.
ence to give the farmer the full
benefit of our historic tariff policy
Protection of dairy commodities
has greatly increased under the
protective tariff policies as carried
out under the present Republican
administration. We increased by
executive order the tariff on dairy
products from eight to twelve
cents a pound. This domestic mar.
ket can be preserved for the Ameri
can producer under the Republican
policies, and it can be lost under
the policy outlined by the Demo
cratic platform.
Apparently, to satisfy certain
group of farmers, a cleverly de
vised sentence was written into the
Democratic platform whereby the
party pledges that an honest en-.
deavor will be made to formulate
a legislative plan whereby the
losses in the control of the surplus
crops will be charged back against
the unit of the product. This is a
faint effort to describe the equal.
cation fee. After the adoption of
this platform, Governor Smith was
quoted in the newspapers as saying
that he was opposed to the fee
but that he pledged that the me-
chanics would be devised through
conferences with the friends Of
agriculture to formulate a legisIa.
tive program to carry out his plat
form pledges. This is the same
problem over which a dispute has
been raging for eight years. The
Democratic platform simply adds
more confusion to an already con-
fused situation.
1.-THE pledge of Herbert Hoover
is definitely certain. He knows in
advance how this problem can be
handled. He believes agriculture
can be organized to where it will
be self-sustaining, and by reason Of
his knowledge and experience, he
Is in a position where he can head
that organization.

INSIDE INFORMATION

Two glass measuring cups, one for
wet and one for dry ingredients, are
a great convenience in cake making.
The notion that it is harmful to
eat fish and milk together has no
foundation in fact Think of the
many excellent creamed fish dishes,
and fish chowders made with milk,
that have always been eaten without
i'll effect!
A small pan that fits into the TOP
of the teakettle has many uses. 1t
serves as a double boiler for small
quantities of food to be cooked or
reheated, and will be found handy
for melting shortening.
Cook spinach for 10 or Is minutes
only, in just the water that cIings to
the leaves after washing it through
several waters. When it begins to
get tender, chop it very fine and
season with plenty of butter OF
cream.
1t is unnecessary to remove food
from a can as soon as it is opened.
For a reasonable period the food
may safely remain in the can.
Transferring it to another container
only means another dish to wash. Ii
the can was safe while the food was
shut up in it, it is still safe.
When making jelly it is not neces-
sary to heat the sugar before adding
1t to the fruit juice. The only reason
for heating it is to shorten the time
OF boiling the jelly. If the Juice is
boiling hot when the sugar is nut
IN, the boiling process will only be
checked for minute or two by the
addition of the cold sugar. It is
then boiled rapidly until the ielly
stage is reached, which should be
in from to 10 minutes or even less
No farmer can afford to pay taxes
on idle land. Good woods manage
ment, therefore, has come to be a
matter of economic necessity on
those parts of the farm which are in
woodlands and are better for tree
growing than for cultivated crops.
The first essential in curing pork
is to make sure that the carcass is
thoroughly cooled. The center OF
the hams of freshly killed hogs
should be chilled to between "a and
40 degrees within "a or 48 hours. at
which time the carcass is ready to
cut up and put in cure.
Cut your timber with an eye to
continuous production. The aim
should be to keep the land produc-
ing, at the fastest rate, timber of the
best quality. Do not cut everything
that is merchantable. Always leave
1--WE or more seed-producing trees
per acre and plenty of younger trees
as a good basis for growing another
crop. Keep an ample supply of
growing timber on the land.
