Aircraft Terminals

~ EARBORN has Mr.. Ford to thank for
j an aircraft landing field three-fourths
of mile square, given wholly in the
interest of the community and for the en-
couragement of aeronautics No sounder
service could be rendered a city in this
decade of fast developing aviation The
success Of the Governments transcontinental
air mall with it's immense value to business
as a saver of time and a releaser of cash re-
serves, is a hint to which no wise town will
be Indifferent. Air mail today means air
commerce, if not tomorrow, at least before
many years have flown.
Communities that prepare betimes for this
far-reaching development will profit very
much as did those that were foresighted and
forehanded upon the advent of steam rail-
ways. Many city Of today owes it's for
tune to the fact that it was suitably situated
for railroad station when locomotives were
rarer than airplanes now are Atlanta was
first called Terminus. If there lives in her
present leadership the discernment which
distinguished her pioneers, no time will be
lost in providing aircraft terminals.

influential than even the strong currents of
foreign immigration have been. 1t is the
migration of multltudeS from the rural dlS-
tricts to the cities.
The first settlements in America were
necessarily rural settlements. Country peo-
Pile from overseas Gin the main from Great
Britain) came to the shores of the New
World and set up homes in a cityless
wilderness.
Nevertheless, towns quickly sprang up
among them and by the year 1890 (the year
following the adoption of the Federal Constl-
tution) One-thrtieth of the population OF
the country was living in cities OF 5000 In
habitantS and over; and the drift OF people
cityward has continued from that time until
the present day, with ever-increaSing volume
In the year 1900 one-twenty-fifth of the
people Of the United States found in
cities and towns of 5000 inhabitants and
upwards. In the period from 1910 to 1880
the urban population. remained stationary
and about one-twentieth Of all the peo-
pie in the country. In 1880 the proportion
rose to one-siXteenth, and it continued to
rise rapidly during the fifty years following,
until 1880, when it stood almost at one
fourth.
Since 1880, the increase of the population
Of cities and towns has been at still more
rapid rate, and the census of 1920 showed
that more than half Of all the people in the
United States now reside in cities.
From 1910 to 1920 there was an increase
VI d llIIlo IoSS IMAM 10 per cent III the total
population of the country, the rural popula-
ton increasing only about per cent,
while the urban population advanced by 20
per cent In other words the rural popula-
ton is now no more than 4S per cent of all
the people.
These figures are most Significant and
they suggest most serious Problems
The food and raiment of mankind spring
from the soil. Meat, bread, and the vege-
table and animal fibres from which clothing
must be made must come from the country.
In the very smallest degree they be pro-
duced in town
enough of these necessarieS of life to meet
the wants of all the people, to say nothing
OF making a surplus for export?
improved implements of agriculture and
intensive methods of farming have raised
the productive power of laborers on the
Farms OF the country, and will continue to
90 so to some degree. But at the rate of
increase with which the urban population lis
growing no improvement in agriculture will
make enough to meet their wants very much
longer.
1t may be frankly admitted that cheap au-
tomoDlles, smooth highways, rural delivery
OF mails will probably induce a certain num-
Der OF people to remain in the country who.
without these things, would remove their
residences to town. But this fact is more
than offset by the fact that nearly all for
elgn immigrants coming into the United
States will stop in the cities
BY the year 1880 it is practically certain
that no more than As per cent Of the total
population of the country will be found on
the farms

quainted with history knows what all this

Monty lit cigarette. He knew his sister
very well indeed in this mood, and always
took refuge in silence.
Dora broke out again suddenly.

so she had. Has she changed the color
then, or WHAT"
"She! She'd never trouble enough about
herself to want to change the color. It's
just ordinary mouse-brown.'
"Humph! Then she has changed it, or
else it can't be the right girl you saw" he
chaffed her.
Don't be such an idiot"
She dropped into chair, turning her back
to him. AS a rule she quite good-tem-

THE STEADY JOB
BY H. Addington Bruce

q ONE day it, may be universally APP
precated, as it assuredly is not now,
~ that one of the most potent causes OF
social unrest and discomfort is uncertainty
Of employment.
When workers in large numbers have to
live in perpetual fear of reductions" and
"shutdowns' that will deprive them Of oc-
cupation, when industrial conditions force
on many a sem-nomadic existence, it is
hardly surprising to find a strong under
current of bitterness and resentment.
All men, whatever their social status,
whatever their education lack of educa-
ton, have sundry instructive cravings in
common All men feel that they have the
right to expect certain satisfactions-nota-
bly, the satisfaction of a happy home life
provided they put forth due effort to
gain them and retain them.
IT, then, from fault Of their own, they
find themselves at recurrent intervals de-
MED opportunity for the necessary effort,
if they see not only their home life i'm
perilled but themselves and their loved ones
menaced by want, he would indeed be fool
ish who should expect them to accept such
state of affairs unmurmuringly.
Ponder this declaration by one employer
of labor, Whiting Williams, who, in the
2uise Of an unskiled worker, carried on for
months a personal inquiry into the influ-
ences making for ant-social sentiments
among wOrkingmen:
Next to the fundamental humanness of
all of us the outstanding impression, as |
try 20 marshal the various experiences IN
single file past the reviewing stand Of
memory, is certainly this: the most i'm
pOrtant factor of all in the life of a wage
worker is the job-the daily job.
For him the day commences with the
breathing of the prayer, Give us this day
our daily job That is the only way in
which the daily bread may be spelled with
satisfaction and contentment, in a civiiza-
ton organized for the mass production re-
CURED for meeting fast-moying worlds
mass needs.
"All that I have seen or heard or felt
combines TO make me believe that it is
impossible to see the world az the worker
sees it, without looking at it through the
eyes of the man to whom the need of the
daily bread-tOgether with the need of the
daily hOpe-means the need Of the daily
job"
OF course there is the consideration that
the seasonal character of some occupations,
ups and downs in demand changes in fash
ion. and so forth, combine to make the in
surfing of a steady job for all workers an
impOssbility Decidedly though it is pos
sble to devise means for lessening to an
appreciable extent the present employment
hazard which keeps multitudes in constant
fear of loss Of work.
Multiplication of employment agencies,
public and private, is ameliorative meas
IRE OF undOubted Importance, but cannot
be regarded a really curative one. 1t
deals manifestly, with unfortunate ef
feet, rather than with the cause of that
effect The preventing Of unemployment
is the thing most sorely needed.

The Farmers Friend
worth much


~ feet our legislators well might Sit
has declared when the voter and
the 1awmaker learn that the stomach of a
single cedar bird contained one hundred
canker worms, that one cuckoo had eaten
two hundred and fifty tent caterpillars when
disturbed in the midst Of meal that four
hundred and ffty-four plant lice were found
in the stomach of a chickadee, that flicker
had devoured one thousand chnch bugs, that
a scarlet tanager was seen to eat six hundred
and thirty gypsy-moth caterpilIars in eight
cen minutes, or at the rate of two thousand
one hundred an hour, and that a Maryland
yellowthroat ate three thousand five hundred
plant lice in forty minutes, they are apt to
sit up and take notice.
While the lawmaker has his part to do in
protecting these Invaluable friends of the
farm, the larger, or at least the more con-
tinual, duty rests upon the citizen. Hundreds
of millions Of dollars worth Of crops now
being destroyed would be saved if birds were
better protected. There is not a region of
but will profit UNNECESSARILY by giving due
thought and due action to this simple truth.

Preventing Future Waste ~,
Georgia S Great Fruit Crob

wv yHILE host of thrifty housewives will
w take advantage of Georsia's over
flowing fruit crop to preserve and can
for the coming winter, and while the public.
astonished at the low prices, will feast to
its souls content upon the most delicious
peaches and melons, there will be, notwith-
standing the demand thus created grievous
loss to growers. Orchards bend and break
Fields are strewn thick with those green
grit, red-hearted spheres of sweetness, where
of Mark Twain declared, Il know it was not a.
watermelon with which Eve tempted Father
Adam, for if it had been, he would never
have repented after tasting" A thousand
pites it is that so large a part of this won
derful bounty will be wasted But what can
be done?
Much can be done to prevent recurrence
of such losses in the years ahead. For one
thing, the extension and improvement OF &C.
operative marketing associations will make
for greater efficiency in handling crops, for
greater resourcefulness in selling them. How
is it that California, with her vast output of
divers kinds of fruits, maintains so steady a
profit? Chiefly by making the most of CO.
operative principles and business methods
BY acting together, her growers obtain IA
ciiities and advantages which few if any of
them as individuals could command. Geor-
g~a do as much; and when she does,
hundreds of millions of dollars will be added
to her spring and summer income.
Another safeguard against future waste
is the establishment of canneries and driers.
