Then, picking up the papers that record the happenings of the smaller towns around us, one gains renewed faith in life. lifts a community—the activities of the business men, the church news, the civic good accomplished by the women, school items, the happy social gatherings of the people, the marriages, births and deaths; farmers’ items and all the thousand and one daily occur- rences that make up the simple annals of the great common people who are really the foundation of this broad country of ours. Scandals are seldom published in the country newspapers, but if it so happens that decency de- mands it, the uglier details are omitted, or are given a kindly touch that is widely different from the unfeeling publicity of the city press. No wonder. The offenders may be our veighbors, or people we have rubbed elbows with all our lives. They are real human beings, while to the great dailies they are merely grains of a sort that are ground out hourly in ‘their newsmill. Nearly a New Paper Terrace nearly had a second paper. Geo, W.

But the News did not scare worth a hoot, even encour- aged the newcomer to keep com- ing, but during last Friday Mr. Armstrong decided to reverse his plans and notified the editor of the News that he was going to the city to work.

There are very. few. towns. that| —— cost of opening up a plant, of, building up a business, of estab- lishing a connection with the out- side world, was much greater than the revenue would warrant. Terrace is already supplied with ‘la newspaper which is superior in every way to what a new man could give for a number of years. It is the duty of Terrace business men to support the paper now in the field if their desire is to have newspaper publicity. A good newspaper helps make a good community, but the editor needs the co-operation. of the community to build a good news- paper. This is the question: is it better to be independent and fail or to co-operate and succeed. Observations of a Farmer at the Institute Meet: Impressions of an observer of the farmers’ co-operative move- ment: Yes, I was at the meeting. I was impressed by the attendance Here| and by the way the men planked are set forth only that which up-|down their fees, although they knew little of the probabilities of getting their money’s worth. They seemed to be agreed that it was high time tor a showdown, and I agree with them. Outside of the fact that a start has been made, the meeting was not promising in many ‘ways, but I trust the situation will show more forcibly the meaning of co- operation. The meeting was a [very goud illustration of the con- dition of the farming industry at present—it certainly was the an- tithesis of organization. It may be well used as an illustration of what a co-op. should not be. Fancy an unorganized army going into action. The result would be bedlam and fatal in every. way. _ AsI wish my criticisms to be constructive, ‘they will also be rather lengthy. They will also be more or less jumbled, as I have not the time to arrange them in the proper sequence, but trust that when sifted out thoroughly ‘grain among the chaff.
