The American Nickname.

Americans are inveterate habitue:
OF the nickname. They apply IL tc
about everything and everybody. The
president of the United States is moi
too big TO escape. Our states and
cities all have their nicknames- The
boy from the time he Is old enough
TO take his place In the middle OF the
dusty street with a dozen other ju-
veniles goes by some other name
than the one his parents gave him al
his birth. II is a parody for every
thing. It Is on the stage, in politics,
business and sports.
What is the spirit? Not ridicule,
not cynicism. not always a lack OF
respect. No people have more sane
respect for their country and its rul-
ers than the American people. but
they are very practical about it.
They are happy, unworried, fast
going sort, upon whom the power OF
the vernacular is tremendous. But,
more than that. Americans are an
expressive people and vernaeular
phrases are decidedly so. They
seem TO have coined a new vehicle
for their thoughts. a street language
that Is responsive to every demand
and much more flexible and fluent
than the mother tongue. from which,
however. they never stray perilously
fer.
That our nickname habit and our
vernacular have their attractions for
others is shown by the readiness
with which our friends from other
countries. even the oriental, with his
cum mbersome and complicated lingo,
adopt them. And yet what re-
freshing relief II must be 10 some OF
these newcomers to get away from
their native tongues and find express
sion In something even no more ele-
CANT than American slang,

Some Farm Figures.

While there were 624.130 more
farms in the United States and 4o,-
20s,b51 acres more OF farming land
under cultivation than In 1900, the
percentage OF increase in the number
OF farms and the total acreage was
below the percentage Of increase In
population on the whole. or in the
urban centers. Our back-to-the-
farm movement. therefore. receives
only partial stimulus from these
statistics. The most encouraging
fact Is that the acreage Of improved
land In farms showed an increase OF
asa per cent, which was greater
than the other ratios and yet less
than either the general or urban
population gains. which were re-
spectively 81 and 34.s per cent. The
rural population showed gain OF
lll.2 per cent. Discouraging as this
Ia in comparison with the others. II
IL even worse than 1t appears, for in

entire population outside Of incor-
porated places. comprising New Eng

The Publicity Side.


In nearly every city that has

plan first when 1t was new and novel

While current interest inl the ap-

who attends may participate. To
insure an orderly assemblage with a
definite membership from the outset
II Is necessary to have a temporary
roll Of delegates who are entitled
prima facie to seats. The only body
duly authorized to act for the whole
party In making up this temporary
roll is the national committee. which
must pass in first instance upon all
credentials presented. Where there
are more claimants than the number
