the Germans approached Paris, has :

BRITAIN’S GREAT AVIATOR
WHAT GOOD MANAGEMENT
WILL DO DN THE FARM
Just what can be done with a few
cows and some chickens is told by
Mrs. L. C. Aubert, four miles north
west of Jones City. Last year the
Auberta milked three cows. Prom
the butler, eggs aud poultry sold,
Mrs. Aubert paid half the taxes on
their farm, paid ull their grocery and
clothing bill, and at the end of the
year hat) banked the neat sum of
$213.00. The other products of the
farm were clear “velvet.”
The Auherts caiue here about tif
teen years ago with a pair of small
ponies, and $300 in cash. They
paid what money they had on the
farm, giving a mortgage for $1900
for the balance. They now own the
quarter section clear, owe uo man
dollar, aud have money in the Imnk.
Every foot of the farm is in the
Canadiau bottom, anti you kuow 1
is worth some money.
This shows what the right manage
ment will do, even Oklahoma.

ARE WARNED AGAINST ARMOR
German Troops Told by Commander
it May Even Cause Them
Harm.
Paris—The general commanding
the Eighteenth Germany army corps
has, according to the Temps, Issued
this notice to his troops:
•'Bullet-proof armor of which va-
rious models have been placed on sale
and actively advertised, does not give |
« all the protection promised.
“On the contrary upon exposure to
fire It Is shown that the armor, instead
of protecting, becomes Itself the cause
of grave wounds to those wearing it.
Besides, the pieces of armor interfere
with freedom of movement and make
the soldierB' work more difficult. It Is
necessary to issue tills caution against
worthless purchases."

By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers’ Union
A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life ia needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dail-
ies and echoed In the country press,
but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package oftttmes ob-
scures the substance. A searching in-
vestigation Into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many Inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily 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 tlie farmer must utilize
to their fullest capucity before he can
occupy a commanding position in pub-
lic affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and co-
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best Interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without It. The local paper
Is part of the community life anti the
editor understands the farmer's prob-
lems. It is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
Its columns deal with subjects of most
vital importance to local life of the
community.
A Noble Task.
In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by giv-
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged yoaalbilltieB tor useful-
ness. It cannot perform Us mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties. che mishaps and inordinate am-
bitions of humanity, or by filling its
columns with the echoeB of the strug-
gles of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
It has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitious
men in their wild lust for power, and
many times the flames of personal
conflict sear the tender buds of new
civilization and lllftminate the path-
way to destruction. The rural press
Is the governing power of public senti-
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship of state
in the roadBtead of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter-
ests of the farmers by applying its
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community. It
must stem the mighty 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
civilization at their fountain head. Its
mission is to direct growth, teach ef-
ficiency and mold the intellectual life
of the country, placing before the pub-
lic the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg-
islative, co-operative, educational and
social needs of the. agricultural classes
within Its respective community.
The Power of Advertising.
The influence of advertising is clear-
ly visible in the homes and habits of
the farmers, and the advertising col-
umns of the preSB are making their
Imprint upon the lives of our people.
The farmer possesses the things that
are best advertised.
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the lux-
uries of life. We need more art, sci-
ence and useful facilities on the
farms, and many homes and farms
are well balanced in this respect, but
the advertiser can render a service
by teaching the advantages of modern
equipment throughout the columnB of
the rural press.
The farmers are in need of personal
leadership. They have political lead-
ers, but they need local Industrial
community and educational leaders.
