GROWTH OF CITIES IS
COMING FROM FARMS

The rapid growth of the ten chief
cities of the United States during the
last decade appeals to the cartoonist
Of film news service as record
presenting worthy cause for pride.
But figures from five counties in
Missouri and Oklahoma, comprising
some Of the best farming land in the
country show, in the census returns
decline in population OF some
10000. Would il not be well for the
cities, before they congratulate them
selves too heartily on their increase
in the census tables, to ascertain
where the added population comes
from, and whether enough men are
going to be left on the farms to feed
those who have gone from them?
And is II altogether.a cause for pride
that, for economic or other reasons,
men are apparently leaving the farms
as rapidly as ever they cant

BIC RAIN INSURES
WONDERFUL FEED CROP

On Tuesday night Of this week
Curry County got the best rain that
has fallen here in several months. In
Clovis the precipitation amounted to
two and one-fourth inches while al!
over the north part of the county it
is reported as having been heavier
The rain insures a wonderful yield
of kaffir, maize and other crops. 1t
is estimated that there will be in the
neighborhood of two million bushels
of maize, kaffir, corn and grain crops
Of this nature harvested this fall in
the county, which will be the largest
crop the county has ever produced.
The moisture will also be of great
benefit to the land that is being pre-
pared for wheat this fall, and all indi-
cations point to the fact that the
greatest acreage ever put out in the
county will be sown.

Strauss, head Of the Women's Activ-

justice campaign against high living
costs. She classes in her luxury list
such articles as motor cars, pianos,
carpets and Luxurious clothing" in

Approximately $4,000, 900, 900 goes
each year for motor cars and their
parts. Candy makers reap harvest
of 81 ,OG0, 200, 900, and so, 100000 is

words, the nation might have had
more bread II It had had less cake.

OFFENDER ESCAPES BY
TEcHNlcALITY IN LAW

With evidence piled up against him
and with the finger Of justice di-
rected straight at him, a Mexican who
stole three chickens late last week
was cleared in a trial in the city
court, because there is no city ordi-
nance against appropriating members
Of the feathery tribe. D. B. Hughes
followed a hot trail into the offenders
residence on West 0tero Street, and
searched the premises. To retaliate,
tie Mexican later filed suit against
MP. Hughes for searching the place
without a warrant, and ii was only
through a atechnicality that he escaped
being convicted.
The case Of the Mexican viii prob
ably be brought up in the district
court II tn, offense can be considered
larceny, and in the meantime the
city council will probably enact an
ordinance to prevent chicken stealing
from becoming a popular sport.
