more than IS per cent OF the the population
of the country is urban. that is In towns
OF $500 inhabitants, OF more.
The population living In cities Of 5000
or more inhabitants has increased much
more rapidly than that in the rest OK the

1910 was 2S,50S,007. as compared with 2i,O'S,-
1883 for the same cities In 1900, the increase
being 7,429,sls or 852 per cent.
In the north the proportion of the total
population living in cities of 5000 inhab-
itants was 406 per cent. In the south 1t
was 1913 per cent; in the west 31.5 per cent.
The population in the rest of the country,
including smaller cities and rural districts,
I'M 1910, was So 464, 259, as compared with
"a 916,Ss6 in 1900, the increase being s,547 S73,

lie finds that while there has probably
been a somewhat greater difference be-

Harmon to Rescue.

At the critical moment, Governor Judson
Harmon came to the rescue and climbed
into the band wagon. When his right was
challenged he declared that he was the
legibe candidate. the friend OF the masses,
and the classes were friends Of his. But
Miss Democracy decided that he would
have to wait for two years to see what he
could do with a democratic legislature so
Harmon climbed down.
Dix was the next aspirant for favor,
claiming his seat by virtue of a ticket
bearing an 20. X" by Charles F. Murphy
and because of his versatility, but Miss
Democracy insisted that the trouble with
the democratic party for the last twenty
five years was that 1t had been too
damned versatile" and Dix was thrown
off.
Judge Baldwin made an effort to climb
into a seat on the ground that he was q
great legal light, but Miss Democracy
asked What has law got to do with the
democratic party? The republicans made
all the laws We are going to make new
ones" and off went Baldwin.
Foss had no better luck when he tried
to butt in" for the best that Miss Democ-
racy would promise was to look him over
after he had gone out to save Lodge.

A THRIFTY TOWN
In a Thrifty Communiy-PlenV to Eat
and Always Something to Sell.

We were in Little Mountain one
afternoon this week. President
Chiids has recently completed one
of the handsomest depots on his
line at this place. 1t is large and
commodious with ample waiting
rooms and baggage room and large
storage apartment as we'll as large
and convenient Office. It is built
of brick and is really an ornament
to the town.
Little Mountain has also just
completed one of the handsomest
school buildings in any town OF its
size in the State. The town is not
very large but has several success
f,,l merchants and a bank with a
capital of $40, 900. The bank was
ORGANIZED only about three years
AGO with DR.. J. NJ. Sease as Presl-
dent and Mr.. W. A. Counts as
Cashier, and it has regularly paid
the semi-annual dividend of three
per cent. and has placed to the sur
plus an undivided profit account OF
about 81, 500. This is very good
showing for a bank of its capital.

In re Eggs.

The claim Is seriously advanced by a
scientist Of repute and standing that
hens may be made to lay eggs OF various
colors-blue. pink, green. and red-by
feeding them certain harmless chemical
compounds along with their daily food.
This is one Of those interesting bits of
information mere man delights to label
Important. If true" and then forget.
Colored eggs might serve an occasional
useful purpose-at Easter. for instance.
Perhaps. moreover. they might be uses
to some advantage IN shop-window ad-
vertising AS articles Of diet, they would
be no better than the old-fashioned
product, nevertheless. We doubt, indeed.
whether they would be one-half so in
viting.
The sort of egg that would be hailed
with great manifestations Of Joy. how
ever. would be one that refused to keep
in cold storage for more than sixty days
under any circumstances. That character
of eggs would put crimp in the high cost
would revolutionize the egg situation,
and that rather speedily, we apprehend.
This now luxurious article Of erstwhiie
everyday diet would come tumbiing down
from its present proud and exclusive
estate. and that without breaking shells
enough to affect the edible supply ever so
slightly
The present persuasion Of hens are too
conscientious. perhaps. They incline too
strenuously to quality In especially
keeping quality. There is much virtue in
an egg; man should never cease to thank
his lucky stars that there are such de-
liciously palatable things to be had in the
world gastronomIc. But it ought to be
beyond his power to triae with them, or
exploit them 10 his own discomfort and
distress. If every egg brought into the
world were SO fashioned that II must be
disposed Of within a reasonable length OF
! time or it would go to the bad hopelessly
man would keep the egg crop moving
along as It ought TO move along. and as
we honestly believe, the good Lord in
| tended II should move along,
Far be it from US to deprecate these
new-fangled eggs Of rainbow attributes;
but eggs with time limit of consumption
fixed imToyably 10 them would be much
more to the point
