that Mr.. Davis has been living in

Inclinations of Public

from the Roanoke Times.
That a new industrial revolution is in
the oflng, with gas and electricity as
its mainstays, is the suggestion Of DR..
Gus Dyer, professor of political econ
omy at Vanderbilt University, made in
the course Of a recent speech before
the Executives Club of Chicago. DR..
Dyer recalled that the big city was
caused by the industrial revolution
brought on by the steam engine. The
last 20 years have seen q miracle
wrought in America by the new appli-
cation Of gas and electricity to indus
try, he asserted. Isolation has been de-
stroyed and all America lives along the
great highways. or so it seems. The
reasons why people should 60 to the big

brought about.
industries are going back to the
country and the small town." DR.. Dyer
pointed out. THE cities have the great
est hight they ever had if they are to
hold their places under the new order.
The small place has advantages for in
dustry that the city can hardly meet.
The cities have got to make a read
justment. recognize a new force"
DR.. Dyer is shrewd and clear
industrial trend. His prophecy that the
big cities have had their day is inter-
esting. whether one agrees with it or
not. And the healthy growth in popu-
lation which the present census shows
for the little cities and towns affords
striking confederation of his statements.
In many ways the great city Is not
a very good place to live. The conges-
ton is well-nigh unbearable to people
accustomed to the great open spaces
and the inevitable noise and dirt are
hard to stand.
America has passed through an age
in which 1t was the accepted thing to
defy size. Perhaps the pendulum Is be-
ginning to swing back in the other di-
rection. Perhaps in our awe and adj
miration Of the big city's advantages we
have overlooked some of the less obvious
but no less genuine advantages of liy-
ing In a smaller place. It will be inter-
esting to check DIR. Dyer's prediction
in the light of the changes that will be
brought about in the next decade.

May-time Party.
We had pleasant party down to dear
old Jacksonville.
The birds composed the orchestra that
played with wondrous skill,
And bees with conversation made the
garden softly hum
And told of the supply of honey sweet,
with more to come.
A great array of beauty came in answer
to the call.
The Princess Butterfly was clad most
gorgeouSly of all.
The joyous anniversary brought many
happy thrill

Lofty Position.

"A statesman is justified in seeking
a high position in life"
Yes" answered Senator Sorghum.
"Yet like other citizens a statesman is
valued for the work he does on the
level. Merely seeking high position and
waiting TO be admired is likely to make
too many Of us look like fag-pole
