Rushing to the Cities.

Miss Evangeline Booth, head Of the Saliva
toin Army in America, echoes many opinions
when she says the desertion of the farms and
the crowding of the cities can be blamed Tor
much of the unrest and unemployment. That
has been apparent for some time, but solution
of the problem has not yet come. The solu-
ton itself is easy enough. Anyone can see
what is needed, but how to obtain it is the
puzz1ing thing. If gigantic hand could reach
down into the overcrowded cities and pick up
that part of the population not suited to city
life and better fitted for rural conditions of
environment the transformation would be &C
complished But where is the hand to do it?
Miss Booths organization has put her in
close touch with conditions in $50 cities and
towns of this country. She says the big cities
"are being jammed by people from every
where" and that people for some unexpan-
ed reason want to turn their hands back on
farms and farming and the cattle ranch" Her
observation suggests the moth and the flame.
Bright lights burn at night in the cities and
towns, and it is dark in the country. Il1umina-
ton is an attractive thing in the lives of hui
man beings just as it is i'll the futtering ex-
istence of the moths that rush to the flame to
be singed or destroyed, White ways are gay,
and country trained feet readily learn to tread
the primrose path, more's the pity.
If country boy were asked why he want
ed to go to the city he might reply because
Something is doing" there. Finally he resists
the lure no more. He goes. Thousands of
them have strength of mind and character, i'm
agination, ambition and hopes. These cannot
and will not be denied They will find their
way into the bigger world along some road
and the country soon forgets it ever nurtured
them, so complete is their absorption by the
city Other thousands, however do not sue
coed in the city. They would be better off
if they stayed on the farms and ranches, but
they do not know that Some of them do not
learn it even after having the experience OF
city life. The bright lights continue to inter
fere with their vision. For these something
might be done The only thing that promises
success is the making of rural life more at
tractive. A big chance for uplift is presented
1t is a question to think about Some who are
not blinded and who know the world passing
will see far more color and beauty in the
country than in the city, but they are few
compared to the millions who have rushed
cityward on uncertain feet, stalking their all on
a new life that presents what they want, a
changed aspect 1t is impossible to countrify
the city, but much can be done to urbanize
or citify the country Modern homes, good
schools, creation of a community spirit, in
creased farming opportunitiesv-these may
present brighter rural outlook and keep
more people on the farm.

DR.. Woodpecker, Tree Surgeon.
From Our Dumb Animals.

Although the eagle has the embematic
place of honor in the United States the doWny
woodpecker is distinguished as the most use
full bird citizen, says Enos A. Mills in THE
Spell OF the Rockies" OF the eight hundred
and three kinds OF birds in North America
his services are most helpful to man. He de-
stroys destructive forest insects. Long ago
Nature selected the woodpeCker TO be the
chief caretaker-the physician and surgeon
of the tree world This is stupendous task.
Forests are extensive and are formed OF hun
dreds of species of trees. The American
woodpeckers have the supervision Of uncount-
ed acres that are forested with more than six
hundred kinds Of trees.
With the exception OF the California big
tree each tree species is preyed upon by
scores, and many species by hundreds, OF in
furious and deadly insects. Five hundred
kinds of insects are known to prey upon the
oak, and complete count may show thous-
and kinds. Many of these insects multiply
with amazing rapidity, and at all times count
less numbers of these aggressive pests form
warrior armies with which the woodpecker
must constantly contend.
In this incessant struggle with insects the
woodpecker has helpful assistance from many
other bird families Though the woodpecker
gives general attention to hundreds OF kinds
of insects he speciaizes those which in
lure the tree nternally-which require sur
gica operation to obtain. He is distinguish
ed specialist; the instruments for tree-surgery
are intrusted to his keeping, and with these
he each year performs innumerable success

trees.

CHRISTMAS.

What would you give to have the heart OF
a little child at Christmas, with all the simple
faith of firm belief in really truly Santa
Claus? You may experience some of the
thrills of childhood if you put aside for a
season the grouchy outlook on life the greed
for gain, the selfish desires and give the real
Christmas spirit right OF way. 1t will require
Ia little practice of the golden rule, the stand
ard set by the life and teachings OF the prince

spring up on every hand whereby you may
unostentatiousIy scatter good cheer II you

CONTENT.

John loves Sue and Sue loves Dick,
And Dick loves Mary Jane
And in each breast the love felt there
Were little else than pain.
Tom dwells in the storied east,
Sam in the golden west,
And each one deprecates his lot
And likes some other best.
He that owns a tiny cot
A mansion great could prize,
While wealth AYERS the cottage snug
Were fairer in its eyes.
Lovely maids with golden hair
Wish tresses like the night,
And nothing in this weary world
Is ever, ever right.
Yet for ali IS hearts desire.
When search is wisely bent;
In any spot in any land
The priceless boon-content.

Some of Our Burdens.

Talking about financial troubles and high
taxes, federal officials have been computing
the burdens voluntarily carried by the peo-
pie notes the Savannah Press.
These authorities assert that last year we
spent for candy and chewing gum $75O,OOO,-
900, almost twice what the army has cost in
1o21-that we found $1,151 100000 available
for tobacco and close to billion for wholly
unnecessary articles of personal adornment
like jewelry, silk stockings and perfumery,
Poor as everybody pretends to be, the thea
tiers and concert halls and cabarets took in
1897 100000. Says the Press:
The fact that we are going to save two
hundred million dollars by the scrappng
of warships has raised great jubilation.
However, the people would rather waste
money themselves than have the tax col
lector get it and have the government
waste it. A man may buy tobacco and candy
or not as he pleases the element OF compul-
sion is absent

We can't see saving virtue in the increased
facilities sought by farm organizations to Dor-
row more money. What farmers need is bet
ter prices for their products. If they could
get a market at anything like compensatory
prices they could obtain money enough to pay
their debts. The transportation question is
one of the things that stands between the
farmers and conditions that make profitable
farming possible

HIGH GRID COMMENT

Richmond high school had as many
rooters represented at the game as
the Newcastle school had.
The Courier Cadet band was a band,
indeed. if the Newcastle team was as
good as the band there would have
been a terrible howl from the Rich
mond section.
Richmond high school band under
the faithful leadership of Prof j. f.
Maddy furnished the initial music for
the game but soon gave way to the
Cadet band which out-numbered the
Red and White representatives
Even with the presence of such in
spring music, the Newcastle eleven
could not penetrate the Red and White
line.
Before the game the Newcastle root
ers were full OF confidence and bolster
GUS talk, but, after the game the pro-
cessiOn out Of the park resembled that

The standing of the Newcastle and

fought her enemy to 6-6 tie at the
Rose city. In 1920 Newcastle downed
Richmond on Reid Field $50. Satur

even basis with Richmond winning

With the Newcastle game hanging

Richmond will finish the season with
out an Indiana defeat this year.
