wise laws can be used to mitigate the
evils that any or all of these activities
have caused.
But good many of the discerning
economis of the land are beginning
to wake up to the fact that the high
cost of living in these United States
is due in the main to the ever-grow-
ing congestion of the people in the
cities. The big cities are growing big
ger at a tremendously rapid rate The
smaller cities are growing in proper
ton. This is at the expense of the
rural districts. And it is these same
rural districts that must provide the
food-products for the whole people Of
the entire country, those in the cities
as well as those who remain on the
farms. It costs money to get food
products to cities. 1t costs money to
distribute them among the consumers
after they reach the cities. All the
conveniences of city life are costly.
Modernly equipped homes are expen-
sive to build. That makes for high
rents. The people of the cities de-
mand parks and Fairgrounds and all
sorts of improvement to make their
living more enjoyable. This means
higher and higher taxes.
And while this big rush to the cities
is going On, while tremendous sums of
money are being expended each year
in building the cities bigger and bigger
and making them more attractive, the
productiveness of the rural districts
has remained stationary or has gone
back. If there has been any growth
in it, it has not been proportionate
with the growth of the population and
most of which has been attained in
the titles These are facts that cannot
be disputed. Maybe the trusts and the
tariffs have been robbing the individ-
ual citizen of his pennies here and
there, but there will never be any per-
manent relief from the high cost of
living until there is a larger produc-
ton of foodstuffs at home here. until
the back to the farm movement has
become a fact instead Of a fancy.

EVENING CHIT
By RUTH CAMERON.

found seven pairs.
Aren't you lucky?" said the author

Why luckyT' queried the lady

I don't see that 1 have rejoined the
lady, laying the extra pair by themselves.
You don't mean to say you are going
to take them back" cried the author
of course" said the -who-always-
knows somehow.
How foolish" said the authorman's
wife, why don't you just keep them and
say nothing about 1T %
Il see it this way said the lady. IF
there were only five pairs in the packa ge,
ID tell them their mistake, and ask for
the six that belong to me. 1t seems TO
me its logic and justice for me to tell
them their mistake when there are seven
and give the shop people what belongs to
But isn't there a chance that will make
trouble for the shop girls? I'm always
afraid of that?' questioned Molly. the
little stenographer lady.
Yes, agreed the authormans wife.
that's Just the way I feel"

now, but 1 think she's no more likely to
get into trouble if you do take a thing
back, than if you don't. always go right
to the girl and do it unobstrusively
possible and they always seem grateful.
Besides, isn't that "a excuse we give our
selves for keeping things? If we only
got five pairs of stockings, when or
dered and paid for six, 1 think most Of
us would forget about the girls side of
it, and simply go back and ask for the
other pair. Don't you?'
''Ye-es," agreed Molly reluctantly, I'm
afraid we would 1 guess you're right as
usual, big sister,
wen. I think you are very foolish"
said the authormans wife tartly, I'D
keep them fast enough, If it happened to
me, and 1 don't believe anyone would
care. You aren't really going to take
them bae1?"
But the Observation-Disclosures

serenely and changed the subject.

Something new in the way of jack
rabbit stories in the Thayer News:
Guy Jaynes says he saw immense
stacks of alfalfa half eaten up by jack
rabbits out west. The farmers build
high fences of chicken wire around
their alfalfa stacks, then leave the gate
open until about midnight, when the
enclosure is filled up with jackrab-
bits. Then they will go in the next
morning and s1ay them by the thou
sands with clubs. Guy Jaynes says
those newspaper stories about the jack
rabbit pests in Western Kansas are not
greatly exaggerated.

PRESS AGENTS FOR CHURCHES

This is a suggestion that comes
from some of the leaders in the Men
and Religion movement. It is fol-
lowed by a prediction from Chicago
that many congregations will have
professional publicity directors on
their executive staffs before another
! year has passed. That churches need
a wider publicity of their affairs to
stimulate the interest of their mem
bers and outsiders is not to be gain
said. It has been demonstrated right
here in Topeka of late that a iudicious
advertising of church services point
ing out features that are certain to be
attractive to many, has resulted in
congregations of a size that had never
been dreamed of before. But for a
church to engage the services of a
professional press agent-well, that is
a different proposition.
Imagine the chagrin and distress
that would beset the sedate jewellers
in the amen corners to pick up
their favorite newspaper on a Satur-
day evening and find a column Of
cleverly written stuff on the front
page exploiting their church, because,
mayhap, the leading soprano in the
choir is enabled to fight away the
marks of time and maintain her com
plexiOn in all of its beauty and youth
fulness on account of her devotion to
milk baths. There would be more Jobs
for the undertaken forthwith Digni-
fled church members would throw up
their hands in holy horror and sue
cumb. Funeral sermons would be the
only kind for which they would be
fitted
Yet such would be the way that the
professional press agent would be sure
to work out. Indeed, he would con-
slider little tale like that but a feeble
effort in the discharge of his full du-
ties, regardless of the shocking effect
it would have on the dear, old souls
who might be denying themselves all
sorts of little luxuries to provide the
wherewithal to pay the press agent
his salary.
It may be that the suggestion of
press agents for the churches contem-
plates the development of a differ
ent breed of publicity men from the
one which has waxed strong these
many years through the invention of
highly exciting and interesting tales
that have probably caused Ananias
and Baron Munchausen to roll over
in their graves. That being the case.
the objections here voiced against
them would not be pertinent But to
turn loose a hungry horde of the
press agents of today on the unsus-
pecting churches would spell disaster
for them in capital letters.

I'D YER TALKS
BY WILLIAM G. FREEMAN

Holding out a false hope in advertising
is just as bad as deliberately making a
nisStatemenf-
Mr. Ralph Peters president of the Long
Island railroad took the trouble in re-
cent issue of New York newspapers to
announce the following:
1.-The public should not be misled by ad-
vertisements for the sale of lots on the
eastern part of Long Island which rep
resent that either the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company or the Long Island Rail-
road company has planned for steamship
docks at Montauk or Fort Pond Bay.
1T is true that the Long Island Rail
road company has acquired some addi-
tional land on Fort Pond Bay at Montauk
Station, that it might be able to make
such terminal facilities there as might
be required in the future, but no detail
plans have been made for such develop
mems and none are contemplated
This statement is made in the interes.
of the proper building up of Long Island
and of the legitimate real estate COM
panies operating to that end
1 think we can all go back only a few
years and contrast the lack of interest
then shown in the integrity of advertis-
ing with the very great interest that the
public now takes in advertising.
There was a time. and not so long ago
either, when all advertising was looked
upon with more or less skepticism. but
now it is such a great trade factor. and
is depended upon so much by merchants
and manufacturers to inform the people
of what they have to sell, that it must be
truthful and reliable
It is a most unusual thing for the pres
ident OF a railroad to thus go on record,
to caution people not to be misled by adj
vertisements of property spectators on
the line of his road. who are trying to
sell upon the representation that the i'm
provements made by the railroad VIII
greatly enhance the value of the prop
erty.
It is a most satisfactory condition and
is very encouraging to the workers in the
advertising field who are trying to make
advertising reliable and valuable
