"The fanner ot today la entirely different from the farmer of yester day," said Secretary C. N. Mcllvaine, of the South Dakota State fair, "and I really believe tnat the country newspapers have been the greatest aid to the farmers and made them what they are today. There ls no bet ter or quicker way to get an educa tion than to read the papers. If a man ls away from his home town his home paper comes to him like a long toil friend. It Just seems to me, when I read my home paper, as though 1 was shaking hands with a chum. I think the article written by Peter Radford have done more for tho farm m er than any series of articles I have ever read. Have you read his article on 'Political Preachers?'-It !? one af the best be ever wrote. Every fermer and every farmer's wife should read lt. It's great." ooooooooooooooooooo .

In the school house in Belleville, Wis., a few evening ago, upon motion of the Catholic priest, the Methodist minister wag elected president of the community'? social center for the coming winter. Then three basketball teams were formed, Including the priest, the min ister, the blacksmith, tho editor, a farmer the keeper of the village res taurant a dentist, a clothier, a team ster, a druggist, a garage owner, the banker, the saloonkeeper, a hardware merchant and a house painter. They differed in religion, in politics, In income, in social status about as widely a? men csn differ. But in the common school builcUng, Sn the free democracy of the social center, they agreed to lay aside their differences for the novel purpose of discovering how much good fellowship there was in meeting together, now and then, as equals, BB brothers. In the democracy of piar, in the democracy of frank, fair discussion of public questions, they are Anding out, these differing men of Belleville, that, as human beings, they're amaz ingly alike once you get below the rc ?ir "??Cv. And out of this agreeable discovery will come for Belleville, more toler ance, more kindliness of feeling, more give and take than lt had ever known before.

HOW WE GET THE NEWS. Day before yesterday a perfectly nice lady railed us up and with tears in her voice reproved us for not men tioning the fact that she had had a friend visiting her last week. We told her that she had not let us know anything about lt and that therefore, we did not know that she had a visi tor. Then abe said. "Well, you should have known. I thought you were running a newspaper." ' Wouldn't that rattle your slate? Some people think that an editor ought to be a cross between Argua and Anna Eva Pay. They seem to think that our five senses are augmented by a sixth that leta us know everything that hap pens, even if wo see. hear, feel, taste or smell it not Dear lady, editors are only human or at leaat almost hu man.
