THE POWER OF THE
COUNTRY PRESS
(Christian Science Monitor.)
Let no one regard lightly or slight
ly the influence of the so-called country-press
in the United States. The
"home' newspaper i looked to in
muny a community as the mentor
and guide when the time cornea to
make an important decision. The ed
itor of the country paper, usually un
asaurning'y, is a leader in shaping
the decisions of his townspeople in
those progressive undertakings which
affect the common welfare. No matter
if the people of the rural sections
are coming more and more to look
to the city papers for their news of
world happenings they still depend
for friendly counsel and advice upon
the judgment of someone within their
own community circle who has prov
ed himself dependable and wise.
So it is a matter of no little im
portance, considering the magnitude
of the subject, that the country press
of the United States has enlisted
whole-heartedly to fight the battle
of temperance and law enforcement.
The issue will be interesting, if not
spectacular. Allied with the destruc
tive liquor interests are many of the
larger daily and weekly papers pub
lished in the cities. For some reason
which the editors and owners of these
papers of larger circulation have not
publicly disclosed, they have persist
ed in their effort to discourage a
complete enforcement of the prohi
bition law. Many of them have al
lotted generous space to news detail
ing the manner in which the law is
violated, and not a few have, by edi
torial comment, sought to popularize
the campaign of nullification.
Xow comes the country editor and
bis thousands of clear-thinking and
unprejudiced brethren throughout the
length and breadth of the land,
ready to defend and uphold the law
which it has been sought to destroy.
They have no selfish motive in thus
enlisting on the side of right. They
are committed to the cause by their
realization that the best interests of
themerves and of the people and in
dustries which they seek to protect
demand that the Constitution and the
laws be unhesitatingly obeyed. The
tainted money of the bootlegger and
the brewer has not influenced them
to betray the people whose confidence
they have gained and desire to keep.
They feel a personal responsibility.
They are not tempted to sell, at any
price, the friendships of a lifetime.
The inclination is to believe that
no evil influence is powerful enough
to sway the sentiment of the great
mass of voters in the United States
against so powerful an ally of nation
al righteousness. It was the strength
of the moral forces in the agricul
tural states that made possible the
early enactment of the law which
the enemies of society are now seek
ing to nullify. This same courageous
electorate will see to it that no back
ward step is taken. No editor of a
country paper need apologize to his
patrons and frienda for his stand in
support of the law. They are with
him, just as the loyal and progressive
people everywhere are steadfast in
support of good govenment and civic
decency.

Professor Bar&s, Plant Path
ologis, 0. A. C, went into the
work of the machine thorough
ly before making the following
open r-mmendation to the
fanners of the Northwest, in
which he said:
"I have compared wheat
treated by the Calkins machine
with seed treated in our lab
oratory, seed which we treated
as thoroughly as it was possi
ble to apply the dust and the
wheat from your machine
proved to be as thoroughly
coated as it is possible to coat
the grain, and yet without an
excess which shows that the
machine is efficient, I am glad
to recommend this machine."
Orders are being placed at
Spokane for deliveries into ev
ery atate in the Northwest.
Because of the efficiency,
simplicity and durability of
this machine it is in the great
est demand. Tho the capacity
for manufacture is great it is
evident that it will be overtax
ed. THEREFORE ORDER NOW
IS YOLR OWN INTEREST.

WHAT EVERY SUCCESSFUL
MAN KNOWS
The man who has worked for his accumulations; the man
with responsibilities of success, he knows the necessity and
full value of established relations with a first class banking or
ganization. Financing any business to success, whether it be mercan
tile, industrial or agricultural, is a job which requires courage.
But most important of all is to have an established credit and
a friendly business relationship with bankers of proven ability;
men of vision who know their own success can be only in pro
portion to yours.
No matter what your work may be you are striving for
success. Start today to establish your credit. This bank can
assist you. Carnegie's great fortune started in a small saving
account while he was delivering telegrams as a tiny lad in
Pittsburg.
