the envy of her companions. The
hobbed head has done away with that,

little girls still wear hair ribbons

You might think that with few

THAT even the few persons who

THE SMALL CITY ARRIVES

According to the municipal experts
of various kinds the era of the small
town is arriving It is now seen that
a city can actually grow bigger than
is good for it, and some authorities
are claiming that the great metro
polls will in time arrive at the stage
where it will be impossible physically
to grow, in extent of territory at
least.
There are perhaps many reasons
why the smaller community IS COM
ing into it's own. Perhaps the most
potent of these is that the smaller
community is no longer what it used
to be-is in fact great deal better.
The city or town with muddy
streets is rarely found in this day OF
good roads and automobiles. Civic
pride has grown in the smaller as we'll
as the larger cities. Ramshakle build
ings are being eliminated everywhere,
and the smaller buildings including
ADEQUATE schools and libraries, up to
date hospitals and SO on. They are
all coming to have fine parks too,
parks that would do credit to some
of the larger cities of the country.
But the improvements has not all
been along inanimate lines. The
people have improved too Out IN
what was once the broad, open spaces
they dress just as well, if not better,
ride in as good automobiles, eat bet
ter food. and have the same books
and general entertainment that they
do in the big cities. The time was
when you could spot stranger on
Broad Street by his general appear
ance. Try and do it today and see
how easily you can be fooled.
We hear a lot of talk about how
the radio, the telephone and the NOV
ing picture have lessened the distance
between the big city, the smaller town
and rural communities. The greatest
single IdClDT III Llilo uSNCiOPiilCho "
the smaller city and town is not given
proper credit, and that factor is the
home newspaper
Just stop for moment and COM
pare our newspapers with what
they were dozen or so years ago.
You will find that the change is as
founding. Even in the very small
cities the home newspaper IS now
generally a thriving, up-to-date in
stitution with metropolitan airs. Now
people are thought not be good citi-
zens if they don't take interest ir
their own town paper. Through its
outside news connections it keeps the
people in touch with the very latest
thought and latest customs through
out the nation. And by its local eff
forts encourages progress and good
citizenship at home. Give, therefore
the home newspaper its share Of cred
it for lessening the gap between the
home town and the metropolis.
Yes, the era of the smaller city has

CHICAGO GRAINS
HIGHER AT OPEN
Soaring Liverpool Market
Sends Values Up.
BU United Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Grain prices
are still being dragged upward on
the Chicago Board of Trade by the
soaring Liverpool market.
Wheat opened Y @1 cent higher
on the news that Liverpool was 3@4
pence higher. The only explanation
for the consistent English bulge is
the coal and freight situation, but
America will be glad to supply any
amount Of wheat at these prices.
Should there be an easing up on
the other side it will mean a sharp
break here, for our advance was
scored in the face of very bearish
domestic. situation. December has
gained 712 cents in the last three
days. Canadian weather is again
favorable for the movement.
Corn is becoming slightly bullish
because Of the long, slow decline and
the damage reports that are coming
in. The flood Of old grain is about
the only remaining depressing fac.
tor, so that the opening was ss@s
cents higher this morning.
Oats is still neglected, but adj
vanced y cent in all positions on the
strength Of the other cereals.
Provisions saw no early changes.
