NOTES OF VALLEY PAGEANT

Members of the Pageant Society
exploring out-of-the-way districts of
the county in search of pioneer rel,
les for the valleys historical play,
"The Desert Calls are not only
making some excellent "finds, - but
are getting some good bits of com.
edy as well.
Everybody sceus 10 know that
there IS to be a pageant. But from
that point on, no two ideas are
alike. Some have general concep-
tion of the type of entertainment
to be presented. Others have not.
How are YOU going to manage
those movies"' was the question
asked by one genuinely interested
person. Another, knowing that me-
chanical equipment would reproduce
such effects as rain and a sand
storm said, "Wcll, | can see how
those things might be done, but
how do YOU get the effect Of
horses 80
Another good one is, "Wcll,
we d like to see your show, but we
just can't stand four nights"
For the benefit of those who may
not have had an opportunity to be
come familiar with our previous pa
gcant publicity, the answers to the
above questions are; o. There
aren't any movies. (2) We use real
horses. (3) The same show is re
pcated each of the four nights.

1,000,000,0OO More Cigarettes.
(New York World.)

Nearly 1,000000000 cigarettes were con- sumed in June, 1930 according to statement issued from the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue, than in June 1929. Why? One plausible hypothesis is the increased smoking of cigarettes by women: the last social taboo against this disap- peared when Queen Mary of England admitted wrong in it; the time will come, if it has not already come, when just many women smoke as men, Another is the vast amount of money spent by the various companies for advertising: with a handsome dog telling you from every billboard about the merits of his particular brand it is almost i'm possible in the end not to yield to the impulse to take puff. Another is that many persons may recently have switched to cigarettes to save the price of the more expensive cigars. But chiefly one
 magnes, the gain of the cigarette is due to the collapse of the campaign that used to be waged against it. There a time when reformers damned it as bitterly as they damned liquor when they told of the havoc it wrought with the human system, of the "fends" it created unable to exist on less than 100 day and so on. We have now learned that this indictment is simply not true but that a cigarette smoker has less wind than some other kind of smoker we know is not proved. The havoc with the system turned out to be mythical: cigarette smokers live to ripe ages and we all know it. The "fend" of course have never existed, or at any rate nobody except an uplifter has ever seen one. In other words the whole campaign was nonsensical, and it is small wonder that the country unduy suspicious of the cigarette, has gone to the other extreme and be come unduly friendly to it.

 This is just little evidence that the Southern Democrats have fully decided that the stain of 1928 must be wiped out. Most of the Southern Democrats in agreement with their Northern brethren the issues. Both are opposed to religious bgory and intolerance and the majority of both opposed to sumptuary legislation. But Democratic politicians in Dixie, like Republican politicians in the North, found cooperative agree ments with the Anti-Saloon League and preacher politicians easy method to win elections.

KANSAS VOTES FOR LESS WHEAT
 ACREAGE.

The Republican primary in Kansas resulted III defeat for those who have attempted to block the efforts of the Farm Board to bring about reduc- tion of wheat acreage for next year. Gov. Reed made that the main point of his campaign for re- nomination While his opponent dodged direct issue, he received the support of the Admnistra- ton's friends and nominated Also Senator Allen, who supported the Administration, was re- nominated for Senator, defeating strong opponent Senator Capper, who renomnated for the long Senatorial term, without opposition agreed with Gov. Reed and is opposed to wheat acreage reduc- tion He wants the Government to purchase 10O,- 000O0 bushels of wheat instead. Whether he would have been nominated not if he had made this declaration before the time expired for an opponent to file for the nomination against him, there is no way of telling But the fact is that in the two instances where the voters made issue of the Farm Board plans the Farm Board victorious

STATE CAPITALS HAVE NO CAUSE
 FOR APOLOGIES.

great deal of nonsense has been written about the alleged slothfulness of capital cities It is fre quently assumed, because in many instances there larger cities in a State than the capital that the circumstance of being the capital prevents growth. The facts do not warrant the assumption. Rather they tend to prove that being the State capital adds to growth.
 In a great many instances the State capital is the largest city in a State. In the West, Boise Denver, Salt Lake and Pboenix are the largest cities in their States That is true of Des Moines Indianapolis, Little Rock Oklahoma City, New Or leans Atlanta, Richmond, Boston and Providence
 Many other capital cities thriving and growing towns. In fact, study of returns from different decades show that State capitals, rule, grow faster than the average cities.
