I wish to announce to the people of Exira and
vicinity that after February 1,1915,1 will extend
to everyone who buys $1.00 worth of merchandise
out of my store a discount of 5 per cent for cash
purchases, as 1 know that the cash is worth more
than the credit and it is the only way to let the
cash buyer get the benefit, so after Feb 1. I will
give them the benefit of cash buying.

The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm—Tho Press,
Pulpit and School a Trinity of
.5 Influence That Must Be •.
Utilized in Building
Agriculture. :'J
By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers' Union
A broad campaign of publicity oii
the subject of rural life Is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers' to the forefront The
city problem* are blasoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dair
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 thd package ofttimes ob
scures the substatace. A searching in
vestigation into the needs of the
formers 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 the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity 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 iocal paper, and no home
should be without it. The local paper
is part of the community life and 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 N a
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 possibilities for useful
ness. It cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
bitions of humanity, or by filling its
columns with the echoes of the strug
gles of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
Children from the farm.
P. M.
Audubon County Journal, Jan.28.
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 illuminate the path

ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship of state
in the roadstead of progress.' The
mm) ttresa can best serve the int«r-
escs vi me iarmera oy Hppiynts c»
energies to thi©. solution of problems
affecting the local community. It
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from 'the farm to the
citie3, 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
flciency and mold the intellectual life
of the countiy, placing before the pub
lic the daily problems 'of th'e fartners
and giving first attention to the leg

social needs of the agricultural classes

The farmer possesses the thinga^that
are best adviertl6ed.
"the farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the lux
uries of life. We need inore 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 columns of
the rural press.
The farmers are in need of personal
Uadi-rship. They have political lead

Biily Sunday is a human volcajnio,
and here is one Of his most fiery
eruptions. It occurred on the even
ing of Jia|n.Uiary 10, in Philadelphia
as., puriple in the face and the
veins bulging out on his brow, like
cords, he learned out pver the vast
spellbound throng and shouted,
"Everytiling the devil's in faivor
of. I aim against. I a'm against the
theater because the devil is in faiv
of it. I aim attains,t booze and I ami
aarainsit card parties because the
devil's ,in faivor of itihem1, and let
me tell you,," he screaimed, his
"words sipou|tii?ig ourt: of the mioulth
like scalding sites,m jets from a gey
ser." I ami against the rotten,
lustful, licentious dances that haive
assassinated the characters of more
girls than anything else in the
WGild. I don't oare if you. do
have them in your lodge or your
home, church, (parish house, sociial
settlement, or your mission. It's
the devil's principal art toi wreolri
women. I'll rip them to hell and
breakfast and back agiain." Waving
his arms, his face tiwsted im fien
dish contortions, he shouited, "The
hour has oome." That is the most
furious storm of words that ever
burst from a human being. It swept
the great crowd albouit lifke so much
chaff, filling the "Saw duet trail"
with penitents from all stations of
life, drifting them up in great banks
ah out this wonderful mam's feat
where they wept and sobbed over
their own failings as he sent thean
away in pursuit of Christ.
