All Over the Map! Would you hark to a take of the wonder trail Where the nut-brown gypsies are Would you list to a song of the rov- ing throng Who follow a wayWard star Would you like lay of the broad
 highway And a lit of the open sky, Or lyric spun of the genial sun And the free winds breeding by, Would you hear of the sea where the
 rovers be Who love on the tide to roam, Or hear of the wake where the
 combers break. In a smother of flying foam? Would you care to hear of the Far
 Frontier
 Where the wandering still is good ? You wouldn't, hey? We'll, I'm bound
 to say
 That I didn't expect you would.

THE CONTRAST

"The world grows no better" walls the in
tellectual pessimist I'm ancient days the popu-
lace gathered at the arena to watch gladiators
fight and yet exhibited little interest in things
of the intellect and spirit. Today 100000 fans
will assemble to watch two pugiists maui each
other, while only handful of people would at
tend debate between intellectual giants
The analogy may sound interesting, but let's
carry it bit farther In the days when Rome
ruled the Emperor and his mobiles, fair ladies and
the popllace, assembled in the Coliseum to wit
ness a gladiatorial contest with somewhat the
same attitude of a modern crowd gathered
around the prize ring. The gladiators, men with
highly developed physiques, not unlike those OF
Mr. Tunney or Mr.. Dempsey, marched out, sa-
uted Caesar, and then fell to fighting. Some
fought with swords, others with nets and spears.
They fought without rules. When an opponent
was wounded exhausted and beaten to his knees,
the victor looked to Caesar for the signal. 1t 1t
were thumbs down, as he might expect, he plung-
ed his sword or spear through the heart OF his
wOrsted opponent, and the mob shrleked IN de-
light at the sight OF blood.
In contrast with this, the modern prize fight
after all seems quite tame and civilized. The
knockout is mild punishment of the defeated
There are many rules to prevent one man from
injuring another Withall the spirit Of mod
ern crowd is not quite so savage as that OF an
ancient mob. 1t is no longer necessary to butch
er men to make q holiday.
This comparison, the editor of the Nogales In
ternational believes, is good example Of the diff
ference between ancient and modern civiiza-
TONS Our interests and instincts are much the
same as those of our ancient ancestors, but we
are not quite so brutal. We do not make a COM
mon practice of burning at the stake and feeding
to famished lions those whose religious views
differ slightly from our own. We find it quite
easy to live on friendly terms with those who hold
economic, social, Or religious ideas contrary to
our own.
No, the world grows better with each advanc.
ing age There may be brief periods of retro
gression, but the very examples that the pessim-
lists cite can serve the thinking optimist proof
that our civilization is slowly rising to higher
plane as the years and centuries pass into history

FROM FARM TO CITY

Now it is known that the exodus from coun-
try to city continues to grow at an alarming rate.
That is alarming to the pessimist. In 1870 only
three and three-tenths percent Of the people OF
the United States lived in places of 5000 or over.
In 1920 1873 percent lived in places of 5000 or
over.
According to an estimate of the department of
agriculture the net flow of population from farm
to city has taken place since 1920. In the year
1922 the net movement was 100000; in 1924 it
was $4,000; in 1925, it was $4,000; in 1926, it
was 100000; in 1927, it was 100000; in 1928
the movement was at it's highest. American
economists say the trend from country to city is
even more noticeable than in the United States.
Mussolini has tackled the problem. He has or
dered the country jewellers to remain where they
are.
