A larger conKi-eea- tion every week than that of the coun try's most funious preacher. And that newspaper, It It Is keoplng these thous and subscribers and Tour or five times that number of readers Interested In tho affairs of that small community, if It is keeping them Informed and with the civic morale in keeping with Its opportunity, it Is doing as much to serve Its community, humanity and the world as Is the blgRest newspaper, the most noted preacher. Newspapers are different from any other business In that they deal with the public re cordings of the successes and failures, the bright and dark rfnd neutral tints In the colorings that represent the human kind, Its emotions, energies and ambitions. Country Editor Powerful. "Charles Harger says in a recent Is sue of Scrlbner'8: "The country editor has In his bands a powerfuT lever. Perhaps he Is too busy just now to use It, but If, when the final form of the rural paper Is established and It Is determined whether or not the city journal L, to dominate the rural field, whether the paper or magazine of na tional circulation Is to make local pub lications' existence precarious a con dition that is exceedingly unlikely be cause of their Inability to supply the very human need of home news there beckons a larger service for the com munlty and for the broader under standings in social betterment. The old motto, We are here to stay,' still stands at the masthead of the country editor's ship In truth If not In printed phrase. The period of readjustment through which the ruraT press Is pass ing will In the end make It more powerful than ever before In Its his torywhere shall the press the peo ple's rights maintain, unawed by In fluence and unbrlbed by gain. "Henry Ford has well said that life gives gifts to the people by wrapping them up in men and sending them forth. Then nothing Is given the news paper man or woman for their own use but as embodied gifts through them to those they serve. "The work of spiritualizing the na tion, the changing of Its mind la the special work for newspaper folks who. because of their opportunity for infor mation, for opinions, must be held ac countable If that Is not done. "Is country newspapering a woman's opportunity for service? you ask. And I will answer that I have found It so.

You'd be surprised how much difference a good hair-cut makes. The Mogul Barbers (10 chairs) 127 Ha. ttth St. Mth AO from the home-town newspaper, where Hint little newspaper was tho only voice from the great world (for In those days dally newspapers were not to bo found in farmers' homes and there were no telephones, no rural mall delivery, no automobiles and no radio back in that lonely farm home. lighted by an oil lamp) I experienced my first call to edit a country news paper, a newspaper that would bring to families like ours information and Inspiration. I longed then to write editorials that must thrill the hearts of my readers and warm them to a new appreciation of their responsi bility as American cltUens. I hold that a woman's Idealism Is essential to tho newspaper. Idealism's underlying urge Is religious. In women born with the newspaper spirit we find an exaltation, a mysticism, an Imagina tion not unlike that that fired the soul of France's Maid of Orleans. It takes a woman to attempt to do that which Is utterly revolutionary and apparently impractical. Idealism Redeeming Feature. Someone has said: 'The redeeming note in American Journalism is a ciutrlr nfion hurst I ne into flame. Of Idealism In the Individual workers The one glad fact Is that the newspa per offices are crowded with dreamers, idealists, men and women whose thought and aspirations are of things not made with hands.' I do not know a single Nebraska editor who is not more or less an idealist, although I know many who do not so regard themselves. When the need shows. thv k true lnv&l leeionalres and welcome the uncertainty, the adven lure, the advocacy of the weak; the onslaught on the strong their chivalry and spirit of sacrifice ever ready for the call. There is in these all the spiritual urge, the desire to write, to express the something within them that lights their souls, that makes them Invincible with faith so strong as to make even Stardust real. They are dreamers, these newspaper fellows of both sexes. They may not tell you so. They may even deny it If you charge them with it; but deep In each heart's sacred chamber there Is treas ure trove of memory pictures and of dream blossoms that are brought forth in the ouiet hours to be loved Into liv ine things. Perhaps It Is a manuscript a poem or story, a play or some musi cal .sTV)rtrta1Hnn nerhsDs it Is a ro mance once very real, now but a dream; tender little nothings from the fabric of their youth. "Do you wonder then at the Ideal ism you find between the lines of the simplest story in your home-town newspaper? Do you wonder that country editors Interpret life so well? Imagination, Insight, appreciation, heart Interest, these are the things they are made of altar boys in the temple of truth and beauty, they hear God, see Him In every growing thing, believe in the brotherhood of man, feeding always the sacred flame on their own happy optimism. "Country newspapering, a woman's oDDortunitv for service no argument of mine; no exposition of evidence is necessary here In Nebraska where women and country newspapering have for many, many years furnished proof of the statement of fact Scarce ly a country paper in the state, but employs a woman in some capacity. Some of them employ several and the only reason more are not employed is that there are not the women for the positions. Conn try Journalism Not Specialised. "Reporters, editors, collectors, book keeoers. linotype operators, advertis ing saleswomen you may find them in any Nebraska town; and u they are not there the places are there waiting for them Country newspapering does not call for specialisation so much and I would have every girl listening 10 me realize that if she wants to make good in the country newspaper field she must prepare herself to turn her nana t whatever ts to be done. The more things you know how to do well, the more you will be worth to yourseil and your employer, the more indepen dent yon win be if you choose to go into business for yourself. Prepare yourself to be society and clutt re norter. dramatic, musical and art critic, feature writer, agricultural re porter, ad writer and saleswoman, cor respondent laahioa editor, politician, educator, subscription solicitor and general news reporter: for you may be expected to o any ef these things and all of them and you will find that the doing is not half so formidable as it sounds It is only ia being able to do that we may render service, T like country newspapering be cause It furnishes for me the expres sion f rhat Is in my heart: it Is my nrmortnnitv for service. I like it be cause it gives me the ways of knowing people better and people folk, just foite are tie most interesting things In tt e world. I like it because It fits in comfortably with my love of noma, I like tt because it is part and parcel of me True, It furnishes me a means of livelihood, of earning a bit to be laid away for the cays when old age may make work impossible: but were I ts inherit a mCUom tomorrow It amnld be no temptation to turn from jbj work. There are a thousand com pensations for every fcardShlp can any maa or wemaa ask for more thai the opportunity ts labor faithfully with the rest of their kin to belp build this great country ef ours, this nelf-governing nation, this temple of tsmaa freedom to the heights the fitbers planned for it? For the active, original woman mind newspapering has a peculiar charm and fascination. Hers la no place for negative goodness. She must have knowledge of life, cour age to live It Initiative, too, In plenty. She must be progressive. There Is work for her to do and she must do it Special Training Necessary. "Newspaper work calls for a sense of obligation, special training, clear vision, honesty with one's self, an abandonment of the call of what Is termed society, the absence of sex-consciousness, planty of balance (called common sense), true culture, moral courage and a burning desire to make good at the work In hand. "The newspaper has a sacred trust and to Hie newspaper woman who holds that trust not lightly, other women less privileged will look for In formation, for Inspiration in the obli gations of cltisen8hlp and of humanity. Into thousands of little homes goes the newspaper with Its cheering, strengthening messages, with Its wholesome, clean news, Its information about governmental things at home and abroad. "Dear In mind, my young friends of the School of Journalism of the Uni versity of Nebraska, that It is to you and to young men and women like you. we older people are looking for those who will help us bring our newspapers to the pinnacles of our expectations In Ideals, ethics, principles, standards, guidance, conduct and prosperity. "Our Nebraska offices need trained helo. I am not going Into detail In the matter of opportunity in country newspapering for you as wage earners. salaried folk, but these opportunities abound. They are knocking at your door. It lies with you, if you want to hear it to open the door and to make use of what you find awaiting you. Home la First Call. "I would not tell the young women here to forswear love and marriage and abandon the idea of home and babies to enter the newspaper profes sion. No. Indeed. Woman's first call Is the home Newspapering has its appeal; but it is not strong enough to blot out love, home and the things these stand for. Rather would I rec ommend country newspapering because It so nicely fits in with home life, with the things that make life worth while "Have I stressed the idealistic side of the service a country newspaper may render too much? Has the Ideal I have held out to you seemed vision ary and far away? . Perhap s so, but ideals rule the world even while the world derides them. Then permit me to Quote In closing an ideal worthy of inscription in your hearts, on your desks, in our newspapers, wherever we may read and observe it It is a bit of a message from Dean Williams of the Missouri School of Journalism, and I am sure Professor Fogg will endorse it: "Journalism,' said the dean, is at the cross-roads. It may climb the high road or it may grope the low road or in between on the misty flats. It may drift to and fro. Its destiny rests with the men who conduct and guide its future. Journalism in the last an alysis is more than type and paper. It is the message itself that counts, a prophecy of tomorrow's accomplish ment Journalism is at once a tribune a teacher, prophet and guide There must be high inspiration for those who conduct it And journalism today at the cross-roads depends more on the younger men and women. The Jour nalist is the watchman in the tower who not only looks for danger but helps to keep those he serves out of danger. It Is for the journalist to so print the news that tomorrow's doings may be better than today's.' " A TEN-LETTER WORD MEANING SUCCESS. By J. P- O'Fnrey, Editor of The Cedar County News, Hartington. "In these epoch-making days of tie cross-word puzzle and the income tax, it would seem that there are enough problems for everyone to solve. Peo ple in every walk of life have suc cumbed to the attractions and mys teries of the cross-word puzzle, but some, not satisfied with that, have ac cumulated so much of this world's goods that each year they must also wrestle with the more Intricate mares of the income tax. The cross-word puzzle is merely a diversion asd the income tax is a prob lem which has to be worked out bat once each year. There is however, a puzzle which Is always demanding the keenest thought of everyone who plans to make journalism his life career, aad that ia how to make a success of bis chosen profession. To snooessTully solve et puzzle be must find and ap ply a tea-letter word that reads the tame vertically or horizontally, for that word is the key to the correct solution of the problem. Meat Face Oppneits . In newspaper work aa la every other human activity, the toller is cer tain to face the vertical walls of op position which should be but stepping tones to character building and men tal tngenmty; be may walk along the horizontal paths cf least resistance under the mistaken notion that they win lead to succeea, only to find thai Instead they frequently offer nothing but a smooth glide into the whirlpools of taSore. "Here developed a free press, the guarantor of the liberty of every dtt ten. well named the "university of the great body of the common people.'

Hence we find many trained for the work In other fields gradually succumbing to the mysterious attractions of newspaper I work. With actual experience comes the thrill of service or power or pres tigeand forever afterward newspaper work in some form holds the deepest affections of the Individual. Even though fate may carry him away from It there he Is In spirit, always enter taining the hope that at some future time will come the 'great opportunity' to work out the dream of dreams Into realization. "Carried away by the bigness of some of the metropolitan dallies of to day, we are apt to forget that time was when they were printed on drum cyl inder presses and their circulation was entailer than that enjoyed today by many Nebraska weeklies. But with the growth of the modern city and the invention of the modern web printing press and the composing machines the dailies attained enormous circulations and a period of development which brought In its wake an Influence and a power beyond the dreams of the mighty masters of the editorial pen during the days of the formative period of American journalism. Expansion of Country Journalism. "But the accomplishments of Ameri can Inventive genius were finally ex tended to the aid of the country pub lisher, who aided by the generous lines of credit extended by the old time sup ply house, began also a period of ex pansion, which has continued over a period of years, although the supply houses are not so generous as in those halcyon days of old. "My paper is only about 25 years old -yet I accidentally discovered in a box in the basement a few weeks ago the bill of sale for the original plant complete.

It is a far step from that purchase to the installa tion of a Miller saw-trimmer a few years ago one small piece of modern machinery at a cost of nearly $500 yet less than 20 years elapsed between the two incidents.
