A broad c.iiiipa!;;u of publicity on
the BaaJeUt of rural life Is neederl In
thin ati ' today to bring tha problems
Of the fanners to the Inrefroiit. The
! city problems are lila.oned upon th
front panes of the metropolitan dull
lex and echoed In ill" country pre
but the traaatea i the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and thn
glitter of the package ofttlmes ob
laaraa the substance. A sesrchlng in
vesication Into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many Inherent de
fects In our economic system that ran
be esslly remedied when properly un
derstood and Illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful In
fluences that the farmer must Utilise
to their fullest cnpaclty before he BM
occupy a eoaaaadlag position in pub
lic affairs. These gigantic acencles are
organized In every rurnl community
nml only await the patmnneo nnd co
operation of the farmers to fatty de
velop their MMfgy and usefulness.
They BIO local forces working for
the best Interests of tin Ir raapoCtlva
communities. Their work Is trt build
nnd their ObJaOt Is to serve. Thev
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer In this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as wc'l
as fnrin periodicals and such other
pulillcationH as he may Had profitable,
but he should hy all means aul rib
for his local paper, and no homn
should be without It. The local paper
is part of Um community life and tha
editor understands the farmer's pnl.
Iclus. It Is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
Its columns deal with subjects or most
vital Importance to local life of the
community.
A Noble Task.
In too many Instances the country
papers mimic thn city press by giv
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political BKltatlon. The new
rural civilisation has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. It. cannot perform Its mission

to agriculture by recording the frail-tie1-,
the mishaps nnd Inordinate am

columns with (lie echoes of the strut;-
flea of buoy streets, or by aaebaaUag
stories of city life which lure our
OhOiraa from the farm.
It has a higher and nobler tnsk.
Too often the paces of UM city dallies
brlstio with the strugKle of ambitious
inn, in their wild lust for power, and
many times ttie flames of personal
conlllrt near the tender buds of new
Clvlllzntion and illuminate the path
way to destruction The rurnl press
Is the governing power of public senti
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship of stato
In the roadstead of progress. The
rural press can best serve tho Inter
ests of the farmers by aDDlvlna Its
energies to the solution of problems
anecting the local coramunltv. It
must ct em the tnlichtv life current
that Is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before It a thousand
boys and girls per day. It has to deal
with the fundamental problems of
clllizatlon at their fountain head. I
mission In to direct growth, teach t
lefaaey nnd mold the Intellectual y
of the country, placing before t !-.. pa;

and giving flrHt attention to u,,. g

The Power of Advertising.
The Influence of advertising is elm
ly visible In the homes nnd hnblti e
the farmers, nnd the advertising c
uinns of the press are making thH
imprint upon the lives of our penph
The farmer possesses the things thi
are best advertised.
The farmer Is entitled to all tt
advantages and deserves all the In
urles of life. We need more art, M
ence and useful facilities on ta
farms, and many homes and faro
are well balanced In this respect, bt
tho advertiser can render a sorrta
by teschlng the advantages of modsn
equipment throughout the columnaC
tha rural press.

The split Iff drag has contributed more toward the economic maintenance
of public highways than any implement of modern usage. It ,.hs not require
special acts of the legislature, bond issue nor expensive educational campaign..
to make it available us usuully BtaOWBM construction work. A drag can be
built or purchased for twent.s dollars ami is easily op.rate.l by any one who can
