SII8irISI-;SllyTHE C*U*!«Y WEIKIY.The big city dailies which devote a good deal of space to poking funat. the country weekly might easily be in a better business. In this day of quick transportation and rural free delivery there are few intelligent people “so far back” as not to take a daily paper. The farmer nowadays has his city daily just as regularly as the man in the city.Hutjt’s obvious that the city daily cannot give a quarter column of spiioo to an item to the effect that Mr. So-and«8o, of the Foui Cross Roads, is building a store. Yet that news is just as interesting to the people of the Four Cross Roads as is some city paper’s news to city people that a new department store is to rbe opened in the retail district.Both the. city daily and the• | * 4 4country weekly have their ownseparate fields to fill. The country weekly fills a most i in port antplace. It is its province to tellthe happenings of its community. These happenings may look funny in print to the editor of a city daily, hut it is not for him ttfat the country weekly is published. And the country weekly is not n*nd in the “way back” regions u-lono either. Many a citv man takes time from large affairs to tear the brown wrapper off the little weekly paper and forget the big world about him, and the big city dailies, while he reads about t lie old folksdown at home.The country editor’s calling is not one which promises vast riches. lie must have devot ion to hiswork, and, considering what he gets out of it, he delivers a surprisingly high class of goods. ItiH doubtful if the country editoralways realizes just how great an influence he has and his opportunities. As a matter of fact, he is nearer to the people to whom he appeals than any other man who spreads black ink on white paper.The country editor may not just exactly come up to the ideas of the editor of a big city daily, but lie suits his own subscribers, and even some editors of city dailiesknow that that is the highest, test. —Grand Rapids, Mich., Press.tat1nbiiVii3UO•IItIIbtafloevs(1V(savVAJ1
