.'ADVERTISEMENTS Beats Gas or Electricity Néw Lamp Has No Wick. 'No Chim- ney. No Odor. Most Brilliant - Light Known A new lamp which experts agree gives the most powerful home light in the world, is the latest achievement of W. H. Hoffstot, 912 Factory Bldg., Kansas City, Mo.

MORRIS, EDITOR A lot of advertisers who have ignored the Nonpartisan Leader now know that the Leader and the cause it represents are close to the hearts of American farmers, and that the Leader’s readers believe in it enough to want to help those advertisers who help the Leader. These advertisers have found out these big facts as a result of the little notice we appended to our advertising talks in the last two issues. That notice said that we would send an original autograph- ed cartoon by Baer or Morris, large size, on heavy paper for framing, to every reader who wrote a letter to some firm which did NOT advertise in the Leader, telling them why they SHOULD use the Leader. We have been busy ever since sending cartoons to those wheswrote adver- tisers and sent us copies of their letters, which was one of the conditions. This issue would not be big enough to quote all the letters you folks wrote, nor to tell what effect this sort of loyalty and effort on behalf of a free press is having. It is helping to put the Leader on a firm basis among agricultural journals. Keep it up! We still have some original autographed cartoons left. All you have to do to get one is to find some advertiser in some OTHER paper whose ads have not appeared in the Leader. Write him and ask him WHY he overlooked such a good bet as your favorite paper. ‘Why should we not ask you, for whom the Leader is edited, to help us in this fight to put your paper on a firm, permanent foundation? And why should you not help? If a free agricultural press—free from unfair influence by ad- vertisers and special interests—is not to your interest as a farmer, what is? I wish I could make all of you understand clearly, as we do here on the staff, what a fight it is—what a sometimes almost hopeless fight it is—to convince the advertising interests that they should not discriminate against publications. that are liberal and progressive and represent the cause of the common people. ~Some advertisers let their personal prejudice against the editor’s opinion sway them. Others actually and honestly believe that you do not read a paper, or its ads, unless it is opinionless or subservient. Others say that unless we cut out “political matter” and “economic discussions,” and instead print page after pagé telling you how to run a tractor or how to make a chicken lay, you will not, for instance, read tractor or peultry-supply ads! We know that isn’t true. So do you. But some advertisers, who have always believed that doctrine since | the days when publications gave “free reading matter” along with ads as a part of the regular advertising contract, just won’t believe anything else—unless you, our actual readers, write and tell them how interested you are in the Leader and its ads and ASK them to use our columns, And why do we want our share of advertising? To make a bigger and bet- ter paper. To get more revenue to spend for original investigations and arti- cles. To enable us to lower the subscription price, so that we can get more readers and lay your message and your hopes—the message and hopes of American agriculture—before a larger audience. And we want to prove that a free agricultural press at a popular price can exist—that editors and pub- lishers do not have to take the political and economic.views of big business in order to exist. / Isn’t the fight worth while? . : fon PAGE TWO .
