LARGE CITIES GROW FASTER
Per Cent of Rural Population Rap
idly Diminishing.

In 1880 about II per cent of the
population of the United States was in
the country and 20 per cent in the
cities, while in 1910 only "a per cent
was rural and 46 per cent was urban.
These figures indicate an alarming
tendency towards the depletion Of
country towns and rural communities,
and the congestion of trade and popu-
lation in the larger cities. 1t should
also be borne in mind that during this
period the standard of living has been
steadily on the upgrade and that the
per capita consumption has increased
considerably. This condition undoubt-
edly explains in large measure the
high cost of living problem which 10
becoming serious matter with the
masses of the people. But the COM
mercial side of this problem is not its
most serious aspect. 1t Is evident
that if this movement continues it
must seriously undermine the health
and strength of the American people.
This movement of population into
the larger cities has been at the ex-
pense of both the rural sections and
the small towns. If we can bring
about realization of the advantages
of the medium-sized towns and re-
versal of this movement, not only
these towns but rural districts as well
will be benefited, for the prosperity
and well-being of the country sections
is more closely allied with it's home
towns than with the distant cities.

Continuous History

For more than 1000 years Salonica
has had continuous history, though
the city has not always been known by
its present name. 1t was founded and
named by Alexander the Great in the
year Of 315 B. G. 1t is said that
Philip, of Macedon, named his daugh-
ter Thessalonica because of the day he
heard of her birth he won victory
over the Thessaians. Thus the VIC
tory of Philip and the name of his
daughter, the half-sister of the con-
queror of the world are all embalmed
in the name of the city.

HORSE POWER NOT UTILIZED
Average Farm Animal Works About
Three and Half Hours Per Day
Cost is Twice Too Much.
fRv W ! sPILLMANl


Carefully conducted Investigations
show that under ordinary conditions
on American farms work horses are
utilized only about three and half
hours a day on the average. Horse
power Is thus utilized to less than half
It's capacity. Per unit Of work done
this power costs more than twice what
It should cost, The full utilization OF
the power actually available would
thus reduce materially the cost Of pro-
ducing crops. The cost OF keeping q
work horse is on the average about
s125 a year, The average utilization
of the horse 10 about 1880 hours
year, at an hourly cost of 10 cents per
hour. II we double the number of
hours work the horse does--and this
can be done without injury to the
animal--we reduce the hourly cost to
8 cents.
