GOOD CITIZENS

NEWTON G. GILBERT, for
! ' mer governor OF the Philip
pine Islands, in a recent address,
said of the American Legion.
Soldier organizations are
only worth while II they func-
ton In peace as well as in war.
and / believe that it is easier
to be a good citizen in time OF
war than It is in time of peace.
Everyone tried to be a good citi-
zen during the war, but 1t is
difficult for the same men In
days Of peace to be as good citi-
zens as they were in days Of
war The American Legion has
made ii possible for all veterans
to be just as good citizens dur
ing peace-time through organ
lied service to their community,
state and nation, as they were
during the patriotic DAYS Of
1917-IS."

Farm Population
Lessons in n. Y.

Ithaca, y. Y, March il "a. PD-
For the past eight years New York
state has experienced an almost
steady decline in its farm population
according to statistics compiled by
the New York State College of Agri-
culture.
On January ! OF this year there
were approximately 10000 less peo-
pie living on farms than there We're
in 1917, according to the figures. In
1917 the farm population was $685.
600. Now the total has dropped to
$4,000. In 1918, 10000 tillers of the
soil left to engage in other occupa-
tions. In 1919, $4,000 more followed
and in 1920. $4,000 relinquished agri-
cultural pursuits. The exodus in
1921 was 10000.
There was a back to the farm
tendency in 1922, when 1000 return :
ed. In 1928, however, 1000 deserted
farms for the cities or other pursuits
more profitable than farming. and in
1924, $1,000 left the farms in the
state.
The figures show. also, that farm
hands have deserted their calling. In
the farms of the state. on January
l. 1925. there were 26.700, a decrease
of $4,000.
The report indicated that despite
these reductions in farm population
and labor. the farms of the Empire
State produced record crops last
year. 1t was pointed out. however.
that tile production was made at the
expense of other important farm
work. and that in many instances
farmers, neglected buildings, drain
age and fences to devote their time
to the production of normal yields.

Run Own Boards

Lewiston, March 14-Plans are be-
ing made for a demonstration by
Lewiston people in the legislature
next week as a protest against a
state appointed finance commission
for Lewiston and also to grant a
referendum on a bill relating to the
present police commission.
Prof. George NJ. Chase, who occu-
pied the Greek chair at Bates college,
in urging the retention of the present
police system, is reported to have told
the legislative committee that of 3d.
900 persons in Lewiston, only 10000
We're of real American stock; that
the rest were largely Of foreign stock
and do not understand American
ideals; that political machine had
been built up that controls the ig-
norant and that he did not believe
the people could be trusted with the
ballot.
Stirred by the remarks of Prof.
Chase and others who advocated at
the hearing that Lewistons police
department be continued under state
control. Mayor Brann called a special
meeting Of the city council that
some action might be taken to re-
flute the slanderous statements made
at Augusta about Lewiston" The
mayor declared he hoped the time
would come when linen who know
nothing about the city south Of Frye
street would cease going about the
state slandering our city,
At this meeting $500 was appropri-
ated to be used to defend Lewiston
against attacks being made on it at
Augusta.
Special cars will be engaged to take
large delegation of citizens to Au-
guSta.
