those dependent on it, according to the
well-founded analysis of Hoval A
Smith, expert mining engineer of 81
years experience, who addressed the
Kiwanis club at their weekly lunch
con at the Gadsden Thursday,
Smith read excerpts from letters
from Gordon r. Campbell, president OF
the Calumet and Arizona company
and the New Corneiia Mining company
ut Ajo, in which he stated:
First, millions Of dollars OF Amer
lean investors during the past1O years

wards Africa for investment. The cop
per districts of the United States are
neglected.
prospecting has ceased because the
possible return on foreign investments
is vastly greater than upon domestic
investments, yet the greater field is
except for what appears
on the surface
The Kiwanians went on record as
favoring the organization of a high
school band in the Douglas high
school
Smith, said in full:
1t is a source of inspiration to be
accorded the honor to address the

WASHINGTON, May 81. VII h
President Coolidge represented as
standing aloof in the senate fighr
over farm relief legislation, agricul-
tural leaders were whipping thei:
journment of congress until some
measure is passed.
They claim they have two-thirds of
the senate pledged to stay in Wash
ington until bill is passed. All Of
them it is admitted, are not ready to
unite on one measure but are agreed
that relied legislation should be en-
acted.
Senator McNary, republican, Ore
gon, a leader of the farm group,
stands ready to move that farm Leg
islation be given preference as soon
as the pending migratory bird bill !s
disposed off. In that event the sem
ate would begin consideration of agri-
cultural legislation next week.
So far all discussion in the senate
has been by advocates of the McNary
bill to appropriate 100000 for the
disposal of surplus crops, which il
virtually the same as the Haugen bill
which the house has rejected. Sena-
tor Mcclellan, democrat, Tennessee,
defended the McNary bill today, de-
claring it was the duty of both the
republican and democratic parties to
pass farm Legislation if they are to
fulfill their campaign pledges.
He charged the administration with
extrava gance disguised as economy
and with being "close fisted" concern
ing the farmers.

retary of the treasury and his budget
director have millions when it comes

Those who took their problem to

and Butler of Massachusetts, chair
man of the republican national com

being insistent that the French debt
settlement be ratified at this session
if there is a favorable action by the
French parliament. The remainder of
the legislative program was left to
the leaders.
In addition to farm relief and the

 POPULATION HERE Postmaster Usher Says Records
 Show Rapid Increase MANY DRIVERS IN COURT
Two Sessions Result In Fines Total ling S21S-Legion Meeting-Local Girl Is Speaker at Convention Return From Miami-Briefs,

Plainville has a population Of G. 900. Postmaster James E. Usher es- inmates from the records ot his office. This Is an increase of about 2,oOo since the 1920 census was taken and shows that Plainville is growing rapidly. Approximately 100 new houses were built here last year. Mir, Usher states, with some 90 the year before and S3 in 1923. This means that at least o73 new families are residing fin Plainville. Estimating the average number in a family at the conservative number of four, Mir. Usher says that this gives almost 1.100 new citizens in three years. The postal service Is constantly being ex- tended and called upon to meet Iheavier demands as result of this growth Of the town.
 The figures given by Postmaster Usher correspond remarkably with those obtained from the school at tendance. There are approximately l,200 pupils in the public schools here this fall. Estimates Of popula- tion are frequently made from the school attendance by multiplying it by five. For Plainville, this gives 6,00o, the same number as estimat- ed by Mir. Usl1sr.

Regardless of the fact that 200 residents of this town are in favor ot the appointment of the proposed district and school nurse for this community and that the petition fol the call for town meeting was ewampcd with names, it is evident that the opposition to the move is forming rapidly.
 Although the opponents of the movement are not as pronounced as those in favor Of the introduc- ton of the bill, it is thought that they are forming under cover to fight the motion when it is brought Up. It is certainty that many vot- CTS have not gone into the question deeply enough to give opinions but it is thought that Monday evenings s battle will bo a merry one on that question.
 The chief opposition against the move is the increase in tax rate which the opposing forces call ab- normally high now None of the rebels deny the fact that the ap- pointment of the nurse would be an aid to the community but they maintain that the town is not ready for the new feature at the present time, There are several questions, they state that have need for more prompt action than the question ot the district nurse and they cite the crying need for patrolmen and fire fighting equipment in this place.
 The nurse movement, Ynder the supervision of the Kensington League of Women Voters is pre- pared to fight to the last ditch in an effort to get the bill through the town meeting to be held Monday evening. They maintain that the commuunity's health is at stake and that the need for the nurse IS more imperative '.an other meas ,;res that will be up for discussion. The league is prepared for not debate on the matter and point out that the food of names that went on the petition roll Is alone enough to indicate that the town Is ready for the movement. They state that the list included many property owners who would be directly af- fectcd by any increase in tax rate and that the names came impartial ly from all three districts showing that 1t is not merely a Kensington movement.
 Each of the opposing forces hopes to get enough voters inside the hall Monday evening to squash the at tempt of the other side of the ques- ton. Just which faction will come out the victor Is one of the ques- lions which Monday evenings meet ing can alone answer as the sides are reported as evenly matched at present.
