Every intelligent man wants to keep
up with the news of his community

great success is that it gives the farmer
and his family just what they need in
the way of a family newspaper. In ad-
dition to its general news^ and agricul-
tural features, it has special pages for
the wife, the boys and the girls.
It gives the latest market reports
and publishes more special crop report*
during the year than uy other paper.
