HALF POPULATION
LIVES ON farms
Interesting Figures for the
State Compiled by De-
partment of Commerce
and Just Released.
by MAYBELLE STUARD
staff Correspondent The ArdmOreite

WASHINGTON The department
of commerce has compiled some inter-
esting figures from the recent census
concerning the rural population of
America and the total number OF per-
sons living on farms. 91,614,26s per-
sons, or 29.S per cent of the entire pop
ulation are enumerated as rural popu-
lation, hu. the proportion which the
farm population formed of the total
in the Individual states ranged from
II per cent in Mississippi to 2,5 per cent
In Rhode Island. In eleven states, OF
which Oklahoma is one the population
living on farms constitute more than
half the total and in II states in which
Oklahoma is again included-and 1t Is
interesting that neither New York nor
Pennsylvania is in this later list all
although they outrank all other states
in total population.
These figures definitely place Okla
homa among the ten great agricultural
states OF the union.

H. G. L. SWATTED IN
MOSCOW FOR ONCE

MOSCOW - For the first time In sew
eral years prices of the two staple
foOdstuffs, bread and meat. have shown
slight drop in the Moscow markets.
But other staples, such as sugar and
butter, are rising. simultaneously the
soviet ruble which for more than
month had stood at about 100000 TO
the dollar, advanced in value TO the
ratio OF $500 900 TO the dollar.
A number of factors contributed TO
the drop in bread prices, among them
being the open sale on the markets OF
the contents of American Relief admin
istration food packages. and the arri-
val in Moscow OF grain from abroad.
Prices are dropping also In the fam
inc area, and in the country they are
gradually becoming lower than in Mos.

OUTLINE UNDERTAKERS'
OBLIGATIONS TO PUBLIC
Matters Pertaining to the Business
Discussed by Delegats to Recent
Convention. Columbus, Ohio.

There are more undertakers in the
United States than the requirements
Of the mortality rate justify, accord
ing to statistics compiled by the
National Selected Morticians. which
recently ended their annual conven-
tion in Columbus, Ohio.
The convention favored movement
to bring to undertakers all over the
country better understanding Of
the moral obligation they owe to the
public. With an overabundance OF
men in the field, it was pointed out.
it is natural that there should be
some who DO not appreciate that
obligation. Alfred b. Gawler OF
Joseph Gawler's Sons. represented
Washington. The organization is re-
stricted to one member from each
city.
The convention also recommended
Legislation for the establishment of
"a proper morgue' in Washington,
which is one of the few large Ameri-
can cities without modern place for
keeping the dead.

HOPES HIGHEST COURT
WILL REVERSE DECISION
Solicitor General Sees "Misfortune'
in Denying U. s. Jurisdiction of
High Seas Crimes.

1t would be "a public misfortune"
should the Supreme Court hold that
the federal government does not have
jurisdiction over offenses committed
by it's citizens on the high seas, So
licitor General Beck declared yester-
day, in urging that court to reverse
the decision Of the United States dis
trict court at New York city in a case
brought against Raymond H. Bow
man. To sustain the decision of the
lower court, he said, would be to give
notice that two or more men could
violate 270 sections of the criminal
code with impunity provided they
went outside the three-mil limit to
do it.
Charged With Fraud.
Bowman, chief engineer upon the
United States Shipping Board steam
ship Dio. was indicted with the mas
ter of the vessel, q representative Of
the Standard Oil Company of Brazil.
and British merchant Of Rio de ia
ernment in a purchase Of fuel oil by
certifying that 1000 tons had been
delivered, the government paying for
that amount. whereas only 500 tons
was delivered, the money for the 400
tons. it is alleged. being divided
.
The solicitor general stated it would
be difficult to over-emphasize the i'm
portance of the case to the federal
government in the enforcement of the
criminal statutes. He insisted that
British precedents. as well as the
history of the enactment of Amer
lean criminal statutes rendered un-
tenable the position taken by the
district court.
States Intention of Congress.
1T was not the intention Of Con-
eress," the solicitor general stated.
that men should be free to go out
side the three-mile limit and violate
without punishment the laws of the
United States. The government can
punish its citizens for their acts
wherever committed"
Although no direct reference was
made to the Importance Of the case
in the enforcement Of national pro-
hibition. that is considered by the
government as one of its most i'm
portant features. The argument was
confined to the solicitor general, no
counsel appearing for Bowman.

Colds Affect The
 Kidneys
Many Skagway People Have Found
 This to be True.

Are you wretched In bad wealth CT?
 Does every cold settle on your kidneys?
 Does your back ache and become weak?
 Are urinary passages irregular and distressing?
 These symptoms are cause to sus- pect kidney weakness.
 Weakened kidneys need quick help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are especial ly prepared for weakened kidneys.
 Grateful people recommend them.
 J. L. Messersmith, blacksmith, zoo E. Webb St., Pendleton, Oregon, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are my old standby. Whenever I caught cold in my kidneys 1t caused my back to ache ard suffered with complaint At times when l stopped over, sharp pains caught be in the small of my back and I had to raise up slowly. My kidneys acted too frequently, causing me to get up many times during the night. Doan's Kidney Pills quickly banished the backache and put my kidneys in good condition. I still keep Doan's on hand to use in case of necessity"

MINE BUREAU HUNTING
 FOR RARE METALS

An intensive search for rare metals in the United States has been begun by the Bureau of Mines.
 Although the mineral resources of the United States are not sur passed by those of any other coun- try, officials of the bureau declared, it is neyerthlcss true that certain needed minerals exist in this coun- try in inadequate amounts, or. are almost entirely lacking.
 Future exploration, it was stated, would disclose supplies of some of these minerals, but proba- bly, will not, as the known geologi- cal conditions lead to the belief that they will not be found.
 However, no chances are being taken that such deposits be over looked, and so the rare and precious metals experiment station of the bureau at Reno, New, has under taken, as one of it's principal fune- tions, the discovery, thru samples which are sent in to it, of new sources of supply of those rare me- tals which have never been found in large quantities in the United States.
 A special effort is being made by the station to discover sources of platinum, nickel, tin, vanadium, tungsten. cobalt, anthony chromite and ZirConium.

ment had promised to redeem them in gold.
 But the harvest has not failed. It is a fair harvest, and the tax is light CT this year, so that the peasants are much placated. Furthermore, as the tax is laid to encourage wider planting the peasants are blowing a greater area this fall.
 A. P. Smirnoff, member of the College of the Peoples Commis- sariat Of Food Supply, gives out the apportionment of the grain tax in the seven tax districts as follows: 1. Northern Caucasus, including Don Kuban and the small Caucasian re- publics forty-one million poods; 9. Eight Central governments, includ- ing Tambouv, Tula, Penza and Kursk, 1O5 million poods; 8.

Moscow, Nov. 2O.-In Russia, all ready the grain tax for next year Is being collected. In the Causasus and in other southern districts the tax has been fully paid, and from tho province of Tula, which has. a spec ial order for seed with which to plcnt the winter rye, the whole amount had been sent out before the date fixed.
 Although the peasant objects to taxes in kind the government has re- fused to accept the grain tax in any thing else. The only exception is payment in the Bread Loan Bonds which were issued last spring, when the government was badly in need of funds.
 In the case of the stock tax, how ever, the government has modified its rule. The cattle tax this year need not be paid in meat. It may be paid in gyain or in Soviet rubles.
 The Bread Loan Bonds amount to only 1O,OOO,OOO poods of rye, and these are held chiefly by the city workers. The face value of the bonds is equivalent to 1O,OOO,OOO gold rubles, but the workers brought thom at 95. They will be redeem ed in rye in December and January. He'd the harvest failed the govern
