Washington, D. c. Nov. 15-David
F. Houston, Secretary of Agriculture,
yesterday (Friday, November 14)
spoke on the Organization of Amer
lean Agriculture before the 47th
annual session of the National Grange
of Patrons of Husbandry, at Man
chester. New Hampshire. In his in
PRODUCTION Secretary Houston stated
that it was time that all intelligent
people put their heads to consider
rural conditions, which presented
not a class problem but national
problem affecting city and rural pop
ulations alike. Following is an abb
stract of his address,:
A question frequently asked In
Washington of those connected with
agriculture is whether or not any
thing can be done to decrease the
cost of living. l have Systematically
refused to deal offhand, with this
vastly important problem. as so
many of the interviewers expect. 1t
is one of vast Importance and COM
plexity. There are many avenues of
approach to it, many controlling
factors and no simple remedy, But,
] am not one Of the pessiniists. L
do not entertain the thought for "a
second that we have approximated
the limit of our output from the SOIL;
AS a matter of fact we have just be-
gun to attack the problem. We have
not even reached the end of the pion-
eering stage and have only in a
very few localities developed condi-
tions where maximum returns may
be. secured Rut. we have uninistak-
ably reached the period where we
must think and plan and work. We
can no longer rely on the bounty of
nature. There are evidepces that
providence is 'ceasing its protective
supervision, of fools and. Americanss
Conditions are emerging which If not
fundamentally deaatt with. will lead

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS
TOWN.

If you don't like this kind of town
That this town seems to be,
If buildings here are tumbled down
A way you hate to see;
If something. is not up 20 date,
Or good as things of old,
While other towns are simply great,
Or so you have been told.
If you would like to see a place
That's full of push and snap,
A town that hits faster pace,
A town that's on the map;
Yes, if a way you'd like to know
To find it in a jerk,
I'll tell You where you ought to go
You ought to go to work!
You need not pack trunk or grip
And leave the folks behind;
You need not go and take trip
Some other place to find;
You need not go and settle down
Where friends of old you miss
For if you want that kind of town,
Just make it out of this!

POPULATION OF
WINSLOW 1000
Watch Winslow grow!


According to a recent sensus
taken by Professor G. E. Corne-
lius of this city. Winslow now has
a population of 1882 souls. OF
this there are about 1000 people
living on the south side better
known as Mexican Town. The
number of school children are
$50.
Considering the sensus that
was taken here in the fall of 1910,
Winslow has increased it's popu-
latloriq two years by one-fourth.
At that rate Winslow with the
extensive improvements now in
progress; the new round house,
the gypsum mines and the pos
sible irrigation of the fertile
lands in this vicinity, Winslow
will be a city of 6, 900 inhabitants
in 1875.

Florence where he went with

weeks by various persons here
that Miss Zesch, the dentist,
now occupying offices in the Elks
Building, was not a graduate

not licensed to practice. The
statement is false in every detail
and Miss Zesch contradicts them
and shows proof that she gradu-

Francisco, CAL, in 1902, and has
been practicing throughout the
! states of California and Texas
for the last twelve years.
A regular meeting of the town
council was held Tuesday evening
