FOR BETTER TRAIN SERVICE

About year ago called attention to the fact that
although this branch line is the most profitable the
whole Great Northern system, the officials of that
road treat the people here if they South Afr
can natives. The train service is so Anticipated that
it is a reflection modern railroading in America.
The "Galloping Goose" running from Bainville to
Opheim has the slow train through Arkansas backed
off the map. Stuffy, dirty slow and crowded it is
disgrace to the whole Great Northern system.
The only decent thing connected with the "Galloping
Goose is its train which is made up of high class
Obliging who do much to take the curse off the
branch line.
10 improve this service advocated gasOline-elec
trio trains some time ago. We wanted two trains both
ways every day including Sunday. The only response
we got was call from high officers of the road.
They cracked few jokes but the people got no better
service. Meanwhile the Great Northern is giving
other less profitable and therefore less deserving
lions the kind of service we demand.
In proof of the foregoing contention we refer our
readers to the following dispatch published in the
LewistOwn Democrat News:

aFrmers who sought better econ
omic conditions in cities are waking
up with the slackening of industrial
employment. This is suggested by the
U. S. department of agriculture in
explanation of the decrease in the net
cityward movement of population in
1927. The department reports that
the farm population of the country
last year fell only $4,000 compared
with decreases of 649,000 in 1926 and
AL 900 in 1925.
The farm population Jan. 1, 1928
is estimated by the department at 27,-
$4,000, compared with 1882, 900 in
1927, 28,980,693 in 1925 and 81 ,614,2 69
Jan. 1, 1920. In z years the farm
population has been reduced nearly
100000. This takes into account the
excess of births over deaths as well
as the shifting to and from the cities.
"The bureau of agricultural eco
nomics," says the department, "esti-
mates that 1,978,000 persons left
farms last year compared with 2,155,-
600 in 1926 and 100000 in 1925. Off
setting this movement, 1874, 900 per-
sons moved from cities to farm last
year, compared with 1,135,0 in 1926
and 100000 in 1926"
! The net migration from farms to
cities was 100000 in 1927, 1,O2O. 900 in
1926 and $4,000 in 1925. In 8 wears
the farms have added 2,458, 900 per-
sons to Americas city population

CITIZENSHIP QUESTION UNRAyELED

applicants in the district court here, before
Judge W. H. Meigs.
The point that a man may not desire to
become citizen of the United States until
the time he makes application, but if he de-
sires to become citizen now, his previous
lack of desire, or the fact that he claimed
exemption from draft through his alienship
does not count, was settled very decisively
here in the case of Panagolopolous, native
of Greece. The petitioner had been some
10 years in the United States.
