EDtroa BsAvRR HlRALp.- The issue
Of the HHRALD of Sept. 20 contains a
piece about broomcorn in reply to ad-
vice I gave your readers. based on
what I know. Mr.. woolly. as he calls
himself. wants to know II was talk
ing for the banker or the farmer. Let
me say to him, the banker and farmer
are two, and yet inseparable. With
! out the bank us farmers would be IN
2.eplorab'e condition. Without the
Warmer the banker weuld 60 broke and
unfed. So the farmer can and does, to
certain degree. dictate terms to the
banker; Jet in . true degree the
banker docs and must dictate terms TO
the farmer, for Solomon said, "The
borrower 10 the servant OF the lender"
In telling the banker to wait. / mean
in all due courtesy to you. Banker
asks for an exten.ion Of your note, pay
the interest. Let me in your paper
say: My son asked Mr.. Tsintor to ex-
tend his paper Mr.. T. asked IL he
hoped for an advance. Answer-Yes.
sir. I do. Taintor's reply, "Well, do
hope 1t will" Question: Why did
Mr. T. 90 desire? Answer: II l am
not mistaken, Mr.. Taintor has quite
few sections Of land In Beaver county,
Ind some to sell. A good crop and
GOOD price means q demand for Mr..
Taintor's land. 80 he 10 interested In
US holding our brush. So am writing
for the banker. II we can get $3.50 or
1900, almost every broomcorn farmer
could 20 to the bank and take up all OF
our paper, could secure a new loan,
build us some houses to live in, instead
of dugouts, build barns for our stock,
and thus quit the use Of wire fences
for windbrakes, and ] feel sure inter-
est, instead OFF, per cent month, as II
10 now, would be about 10 or II per
cent per snnum.
Mr.. w. thinks q factory would pay.
Brooms are being made at Woodward
and Shattuck. My brush was made
Into brooms and sold at $4.OO per doz.,
and realized about $3.50 per ton for
my brush. The same kind OF brush on
the market at the time Of delivery was
about $l8b per ton.
The next expression, "But as to the
farmer having say, we can take what
We are offered, or keep IT, That is
Just what I advocate. Keep it until
they do want It. II we submit to the
broomco:n buyers Snd manufacturing
association we will be in the same boat
as the tobacco growers are, and quite
lot quit, and II am not misinform-
cd, tobacco did advance, and Is yet in
advance Of the Trusts old offer. Many
OF our counties are organized and more
are organising. Many men are put
ting their brush under cover Of some
kind are holding there, while few
are putting theirs on the market, fear,
ing this 10 already too long.

ONE-SEVENTH, OR ABOUT IA PER CENT of

THE SEVEN LARGEST CITIES
It is probable that the final and complete figures
will show still larger proportion in the increase of
urban over country population.
TO those who have the best good of the nation and
humanity at heart this will appear to be most ser
ous matter. The young men are flocking from the
farms to the cities and the immigrants coming at the
rate Of million year. congestng in the cities
And all history proves that nations whose back
bone is not agriculture later has no back
bone.
The figures at hand show that 70 per cent of the in
crease in all New York state in the city of New
York alone. Thrtytwo per cent of Illinois increase
was in Chicago. Over 80 per cent of Pennsylvania s
increase was in Philadelphia and Pittsburg. About
25 per cent of Missour's increase in st. Louis
and Kansas City. And so it goes through the entire
list with some remarkable exceptions.
There is sunshine in the fact that there have been
enormous increases in Texas Oklahoma and the Pa
cfic coast states-sunshine almost strong enough to
break through the gloom of figures showing deca-
dence small progress in such agricultural states
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska Vermont and Maine.
The trend is clearly toward the cities, and ncreas
ingy so and the of it is going to be the might

later the entire North Atlantic
fleet was ordered westward
through the Panama canal.
Before the fleet had passed the
Tortugas. the first gun of the
worlds first aerial war was fired.
A squadron Of Japanese vessels
appeared suddenly off Cavite.
From their decks the great Meta
comet aeroplanes spread white
wings. and. without declaration of
hostilities, proceeded to drop de-
structive explosives upon the Ma
Mia Notifications. The few Du-
barrow machines were hauled out,
but before they could be made
ready, their swifter rivals had re-
duced the Notifications. Inside of
an hour the sun flag floated from
the governor generals residence,
and the Japanese occupancy of the
archipelago was accomplished.
With cables severed, with every
wireless apparatus out of commits
sion. with the superiority of the
Japanese aerial fleet established,
the American people waited. The
suddenness and completeness of
the shock had been appalling. The
Washington government was
blamed for not being ready, for
acquiring the clumsy Dubarrow

mobile Metaeomets. In San Fran
