CiTY's LURE STILL STRONG
Movement From Rura, Districts 0o
clared to Be Menace to Welfare
Of the Race.

Every city in the United States Is
1ecrying a shortage Of residences. lD
fact, the cities of Europe, like the
cities of America, are suffering from
a house famine. There simply isn't
shelter in the cities for the great num-
bers of people crowding into them.
These people do not come from the
skies. They have not been born ana
grown to manhood and womanhood
over night. They were in the world
yesterday, somewhere. Today they are
crowding into the cities. That they
are coming from the farms there isn't
the shadow Of a doubt. And thereby
hangs the most terrible menace the
race has faced for centuries, declares
the Columbus CO., Dispatch.
Not only are cities becoming over
crowded, but in the small towns 1t Is
the same. The farmers are giving mp
their places on the farms and going to
the cities and towns and villages. The
chances are next years census Will
show a tremendous decrease in the
rural population of this country; it Is
bound to do so, for there are more
people leaving the farms than are TAX
ing their places on the farms-and 1t
isn't necessary to explain the reason.
High wages in the cities, the worlds
war, the unrest, the uncertainty OF
everything-these things are operating
to bring about condition of affairs
that is going to cause the world tre-
mendOus amount of trouble.
We hear great deal about improved
conditions upon the farm. The tele'
phone, rural free delivery, good roads
the automobile. improved machinery
and labor saving devices-these things
all 60 to make life upon the farm
more attractive. High prices for pro.
duce 60 to make farming more profit
able. Yet in the face of all Of this the
people are leaving the farms and com
ing to the cities in such numbers that
shelter cannot be provided rapidly
enough to keep the rain off their backs
In the final day of reckoning-well, W.
have no desire to indulge in pessimism
But who is going to raise the food fol
the people of the world If the exodus
from the farms continues?

~. Sure YOU Are HiSHn::."

The vital thing in achievement Is
fixed goal backed up by loyal Will.
It's easy to do thing after you have
been convinced of its justice. Half
the battle is finding out just what you
ought to do, and making up your mind
to do it. When you are committed to
a task you feel no peace until you
have gone your limit toward Its
achievement. The wise thing to do Is
to make sure that what you think OF

Far more important than the i'm

use of purebred bulls, Is the Increase
in milk and butterfat production of
the daughters of purebred bulls from

A COW that ranks with the best 0f

Good dairy cows are hard to find
