CITIES SHOW THE
GREATEST GRO WITH.

Washington, Sept. 80. - Cities are
increasing in population seven and &
half times as fast as the rural dis
tricts. the census bureau disclosed to-
night in compilation of figures COW
ering approximately S5 per cent of the
new census. The figures indicated
that the completed census would show
the majority Of the population to be
city dwellers.
For the last ten years rural growth
was but one-third as great as in the
previous decade, but the cities almost
maintained their rate of growth, get
ting five new inhabitants from 1910
to 1920 for each six added during the
preceding ten years. All population
centers, even the small county ham,
lets and towns, showed greater pro-
portionate increase than the purely
rural districts. The greater increases,
however, were by cities of 10000 or
more inhabitants.

GROWERS ADOPT COAS1I.
TUITION FOR ORGANIZATION

1921 and Says II Costs 30 Cents a
Pound to Grow Tobacco.

Lexington, KY, Oct / - With more
than 200 representative tobacco grow
ers from counties of Kentucky, Indi-
ana and Ohio present, the district con-
ference Of the Burley Tobacco Grow
ers Association Thursday in session
in the court house, adopted the by
laws and charter of the organization
virtually as presented.
In an address quilting the purposes
of the association Chairman John w.
Newman declared that the farmers of
Kentucky must take some decisive ac-
ton looking toward the good of the
tobacco industry and that with the
proper educational propaganda, con-
servatism and careful planning, the
problems of the planter can be over
come
There is no doubt, Chairman New.
man declared, that there is an over
production of tobacco in Kentucky
but he said that cut-out of the 1921
crop would be inadvisable as it woult
injure materially the 1922 crop, ant
that the cut-out plan generally was /;
bad one. He said that it costs thirt!
cents a pound to produce the tobacco
crop and declared that while goot
grades of weed were certain to brin,
good returns, the markets of Virgins
and the Carolinas indicated that
great price problem was faced.

be erected on both sides of the river to
carry the lines and scurrent Of 2,30O

be at the rate of cents per kilowatt
for lighting and other use at 10 cents
per kilowatt. All used over 10000
kilowatts to be furnished at 6 cents.
The village of Ripley to own the line

then came down the road and Pollitt
and others followed after when, near

do so he shot Pollit in or near the
groin, the ball being removed from be-
