THE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER

Since the days of Benjamin Frank
lin no bit of literature has visited so
many rural homes as the weekly or
home newspaper. For generations it
was regarded by its avid readers as
the symposium of all the worthwhile
news, and its editorial page expressed
views on current topics that were
generally accepted as crystalized pub
lie opinion.
Editors of the publications have,
with few exceptions, been men and
women of high moral character and
sharp intellect. Above all, they pos
sessed uncanny knowledge of human
nature. They correctly opine that an
occasional paucity of toria
thought is easily compensated by
plentitude of comment on personal
among their clientele.
To see it chronicled in the local
paper that Mary Jones was a visitor
in Smithville on ertain day arouses
more personal interest in the Jones

FOREIGN PROPAGANDA

During the World War and espec-
tally before the United States entered
into the conflict, the American people
were flooded with all sorts of foreign
propaganda, designed to win the SYM
pathy of the nation to one side or the
other. There was British propaganda,
French propaganda, German propa-
ganda and Austrian propaganda. That
a great deal of this propaganda was
effective goes without saying. The
American people at that time were not
so we'll acquainted with European di-
plomacy as they are today. 1t took a
long and costly war, followed by a
slow and painful reconstruction to
convince them of the fact that the
less interest America took in Euro
pean politics the better off it would
be. &c..
1t should not be believed that the
depression has ended the work of the
foreign propaganda artists in the
United States. They are still at work,
busily at work. Some of them want
Uncle Sam in the League of Nations
and others are concerned about the
cancellation of the World War debt.
Some of the propaganda is so skilfully
devised that it seems to be coming
from purely American sources, but if
we could get under the surface we
would find that a great deal of it, in
fact nearly all of it, has foreign inspi-
ration.
The attempt has not been given up
either, of interesting America in the
purely political problems of Europe.
One of the fertile subjects of foreign

trick of softening the harsh outlines
of past events and bathing unpleasant
happenings in a soft, rosy light that
makes them seem actually enjoyable,
in retrospect.
When the average non-combatant
thinks of war, for instance, what are
his emotions? He thinks of the easy
money that prevailed then. He thinks
of the waving flags, of the pleasant,
spine-tingling thrills of patriotism
that came to him so often. He thinks
of the wave of idealism that swept the
land in those days under which the
humblest citizen could feel that he
was part of great army of brothers.
All in all, the war doesn't seem half
bad, in retrospect
And the former service man; how
does he feel about it?
As like as not he, too, has memories
that, on the whole, are not unpleas-
ant. The horror and the terror that
were part of his life do not intrude
themselves so much nowadays. In
stead he remembers the easy comrade-
ship, the happy go-lucky good fellow
ship of the army.
Yet the fourteenth anniversary of
the war is good day for jogging
our memories, for reminding ourselves
that the war wasn't all skittles and
beer.
War is quite all that General Sher-
man said it is, and casual inspection
of ones memories of the days of 1917
and 1918 will bear out that statement.
The non-combatant might recall the
daily casualty lists; the worry and the
anxiety over absent loved ones; the
unsightly spectacle of profteers wax
ing fat on the situation that was
bringing grief and destruction to all
of Europe; the sky-rocketing prices,
so often rising faster than wages
and salaries rose.
And the soldier might recall-well,
he knows what scenes of horror he can
turn his mind to, without our telling
him. He can recall the mud, the filth,
the hard-boiled officers, the machine
guns, the shrapnel and the rest; and
he knows that, however many tricks
his memory may play on him, these
things were not pleasant.
Such are the memories we might
stir up for Armistice Day. And why?
Simply to remind ourselves that
we went through terrible experience
few years ago, and that experience
had definite purpose. If we pledge
ourselves again to the task of seeing
to it that that purpose bringing
of freedom and peace closer to every
man on earth-is brought nearer full
fillment, it will be well. If we do not,
our memories may rise to torture US
again.

AIRPLANES WILL COLLECT
LEGION MEMBERS CARDS
Membership Drive Continues
To Hold Rally at FriendsviIIe

Six Maryland National guard
planes will leave Baltimore on Mon
day to visit every American Legion
district in the State and collect their
membership cards, it was announced
by Brig. Gen. Milton A. Reckord, adj
jutant general of Maryland and State
commander Of the Legion. The plane
is scheduled to come to Oakland on
Tuesday.
The purpose of the airplane collec-
ton is to enable General Reckord and
Arthur l.. MCGEE, State adjutant to
go to the annual meeting of State
commanders and adjutants at India
napolis November 16, with latest
figures on Maryland membership.
That this years membership would
exceed that of last year in the local
American Legion post, was predicted
by Joseph M. Gender, post command
er. The membership drive does not
end until January, but the cards are
being collected next week in order
that Maryland can make complete
report as possible at Indianapolis.
Mr.. Gender urges all legionaires to
join Immediately and notify their
team captains, Clarence Spear or
Samuel Cole, before Monday evening,
so that the local posts record will be
available when the plane arrives.
To Hold Rally
A membership rally for all ex-
service men will be held at Friends
vile on Wednesday, November 16.
The Legion drum and bugle corps will
participate.

County editors know that in satisfied
personal pride and vanity resides
much of the popularity of the weekly
press.
But the weekly newspaper has and
performs higher mission. Its edi-
tor lives in close social and intellec-
tual communion with the people he
serves. This intimate contact enables
him correctly to anticipate and ap-
praise public sentiment and to direct
and mould that sentiment in its in
cipency in the right direction.
This is an opportunity and respon-
sibility which only good men and good
women should have. While rural
mail delivery has given wider circula-
ton to daily newspapers and the
radio carries intelligence to the ut
termost parts of the globe, the home
paper, whether weekly, semi-weekly,
or bi-weekly, still has a welcome and
an influence in the average home. 1t

propaganda now is the Polish corridor.
Only recently there was sent out an
imposing looking pamphlet on the
"Polsh Corridor" written by one
observer" and calculated to enlist
the sympathies of the American read
err in the cause of Poland and why that
nation should be guaranteed perma-
nent occupation of the corridor
Doubtless if search was made, abun-
dant propaganda could be found on
the other hand, purporting to show
that the corridor should be given back
to Germany. No nation has a cor
ner on the subject of propaganda.
The example is cited to show that
the efforts to get America entangled
in the political problems of Europe
have never been given up. If we
had joined the League or had plunged
into the World Court without safe
guarding reservations there is no
doubt that we would be by this time
cup to our necks", so to speak, in
European political problems. One of
the most ticklish of these is the Pol
ish Corridor problem which threatens
some of these days to plunge Europe
into war again. 1t is a question in
which America has no interest one
way or the other, and it is up to Eu-
rope to solve it. Uncle Sam has
troubles enough of his own, and
troubles which require his entire at
tention. And the best assurance he
has that he can stay at home and mind
his own business is that he is not
disposed to join any super-organiza-
ton of the world governments.

HEALTH CONDITIONS ARE
FAVORABLE IN MARYLAND
Fewer Deaths Reported During
Nine Months Period of 1882

Reports of the State Department
of Health for the nine months ending
on September 80, show that health
conditions as indicated by the general
death rate and the infant death rate
have been unusually favorable during
the current year. There were 15,62G
deaths reported-923 fewer than were
reported during the corresponding
period of 1881. Of the total during
the current year, 1888 occurred in
Baltimore City, and 7,703 in the coun-
ties. There were fewer births re-
, ported than during the corresponding
period of 1931-22,287 in comparison
with 22,198 during the first nine
months of 1881, but there were fewer
infant deaths in proportion to the
number of births, 1,456 infant deaths
being reported in comparison with
1,718 in 1881. Of the infant deaths
reported during the current year,
$50 occurred in Baltimore City, and
826 in the counties. During the cor
responding period of 1881, 767 infant
deaths were reported from Baltimore
City and 951 from the counties. Of
the total births reported during the
current year, 10,828 occurred in Balti-
more City and 11,459 in the counties.
In pointing out the significance of
some of the figures, DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health said: 1.-TWO of the yardsticks
used in measuring the health of a
community are the general death rate
and the death rate of infants. Both
rates have reached unusually low
levels this year. The general death
rate for the entire State for the last
five years has ranged from 1872 to
1876 in every thousand of the popula
ton. The general death rate for the
entire State for the nine months end
ing on September 80, was 1875 in
every thousand of the population,
the lowest figure we have ever been
able to reach for the entire State.
The rate for the corresponding period
Of last year was 1874.
"The infant death rate for the first
nine months of the current year was
65.3 in comparison with TIA of the
corresponding period of last year.
This means that during the current
year there were 65 deaths under one
year to every thousand live births,
and that last year, there were II in
FAINT deaths to every thousand live
births"
The records show that there were
3,159 deaths from heart disease in
comparison with 1920 during the
corresponding period of last year,
1900 of pneumonia in comparison
with 1649 during the first nine
months of 1881; 1161 of tuberculosis
in comparison with 1922 in 1881; 995
from diseases of the digestive system
in comparison with 1106 in 1881; and
106 maternal deaths in comparison
with 141 during the corresponding
period of 1881. Two of the leading
causes of death which showed an in
crease were cancer and diabetes.
There were 1888 deaths from cancer
in comparison with 1888 last year,
and 800 from diabetes in comparison
with 274 last year.

c Grade Apples
Again Banned
BY Growers
FORMER RULE SOMEWHAT MODI-
FLED TO MEET LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS

After an all day meeting, during
which the apple grade and pack rules
were discussed from all angles, the del
egates to the state grade and pack
conference at Wenatchee voted at $3.50
Wednesday evening to eliminate the G
grade from the standard apple pack,
according to Edmund Anderson, who
attended as delegate from this valley.
The action is somewhat similar to
that taken at the first grade and pack
conference at Wenatchee July 8, except
that the rule adopted at the first meet
ing prohibited the shipment in stand
ard apple boxes Of G grades OF all
varieties except Yellow NewtoWns and
Ortleys, while the rule approved at
the second meeting places all varieties
in the same category and permits the
placing of G grades in standard apple
boxes or other containers but prohibits
the lining of the containers with pa
per, or wrapping of the apples.
After the first conference, the at
torney general held that by excepting
the Newtowns and Ortleys from the
provision of the rule adopted in the
elimination of the G grade, and by pro-
hibiting the packing of that grade in
standard apple boxes, the growers &C
ton was discriminatory and made the
rule unenforceable. After the attorney
generals ruling, Erie j. Barnes, director
of agriculture at the request of growers
and shippers, called the second con-
ference. Mr.. Anderson says the dele
gates were advised that the G grade
rule adopted Wednesday will be en-
forceable
No further action was taken in re-
ference to shipment of culls At the
conference on July 8, the delegates
voted to prohibit the transportation
Of fruit showing more than three per
cent worm infestation. 1t was thought
that this would eliminate theeshipment
of uulls. However, the attorney gcaiSl.al
has ruled that under the law culls can
be transported to by-products holding
permits as such. If growers want re-
lief from this law, they must secure
it through legislative action.

to the grade and pack rules, Mr.. An
derson said, was about the same as
at the first conference. To test out
this sentiment, an informal secret ball
lot was taken early in the morning
and showed the following results:
For total elimination of G grade.,.....l7
For partial elimination ..........,........-15
For a two-grade pack ...........-..-.-.......l8
For no change OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Independent growers generally lined
up for elimination, while dealers and
shippers divided between no change
and partial elimination, Mr. Anderson
declared, although there also seemed
to be a strong sentiment among the
delegates for two-grade pack and at
one time during the meeting, Mr.. An
derson said, he believed if it had been
put to vote, the tWo-grade pack
would have been carried.

night, July 81.
The pears from this valley were
trucked over to Benton City and Kiona
for shipment over the N. P. and 0.
r. & NJ, as the freight rate is cheap
Ell. The Milwaukee has no direct con-
nections to Canada and the switching
charges at Spokane and other expenses
are more than the trucking charge to
Benton City and Kiona.
The pears in the valley this year
are a little better than usual and are
packing out about $3.50 as to Extras
and Fancies. For the shipments now
being made, the growers are being paid
on a bulk basis of $40 a ton for the
Extras and $40 per ton for the Fancies
About half the crop was taken from
the trees in this first picking There
is no indication at this time as to the
price on the balance of the crop and
this may depend somewhat OH whether
the canneries operate this year.
