preston which caused general tighten
ing up on money this fall registration
at Mount St. Charles college fell off
20 per cent this year, according to an

THE SMALL TOWN THRIvES.

Early census reports as chronlcled
III the metropolitan press created the
impression that the small town is Slip
ping, that its population is on the de-
cline. A careful analysis Of the returns
bellies that impression.
A check of the census reports for
5003 towns having a population up to
5000 shows population gain for the
group of 1861, l21-a % per cent gain
over the population count of 1920,
This check of more than one-half
of all the towns of this size is am accu-
rate index to the population trend in
small towns.
Of the 5O03 towns checked, 1895 show
substantial gains, these gains offsetting
the losses in towns that have smaller
population now than in 1920
A very interesting fact brought Out
by this analysis is that IS per cent d
the towns that have good week.,
newspaper show appreciable increases
in population.
Such decreases in population as have
appeared occur largely in the smaller
villages, which have lost residents tt
the more progressive communities tha
offer better church, banking and edu-
cational facilities.
Main Street, with its oprortunitie:
for neighborly contacts, will thrive ane
prosper in this machine and motorized

BILLINGS-(U.P.)-The alfalfa seed
crop this year In Rosebud and Treas
ure counties will bring growers be-
tween 100000 and 100000 according
to Ralph Mercer, whose survey was
made in the interests Of the Montana
extension service.
Rains during the latter part of Aug
ust, together with the fact that poor
conditions at an earlier period had re-
suited in a heavy seeding, were re-
sponsible for the exceptional late
growth, Mercer said.
Up until last week, 16 carloads of
seeds had been shipped out, with COM
mon seed bringing as high as 1914
cents while registered stock was sell
ing from rs to % cents.

Going up in an airplane and soaring aloft impart delightful collaborating feeling, but coming down is not so good, in the opinion of J. A. Davis, of the Juneau Lum- Der Mills, who returned here yes terday in the seaplane Taku from Funter Bay, where he had visited a few days.
 "The flight was my first" com mented MT. Davis. "The ascent and the flight aloft was fine, but the descent from an. altitude of 2,000 feet to the surface of Gastineau Channel, although it required only a few moments, affected me in a sort of sickening, dizzy way. The surface of the channel seemed to rise to engulf us and I didn't care if it did. Withal, it was grand experience, and now I am anxious to repeat it."

 lowing extracts from the bulletin
 tell the most of the story:
 "The end of May marked the
 completion of the second year of
 operation in our Chicago Division and simultaneously the first half of
 the present fiscal year. June is our Anniversary, and, looking back over the past two years, we are entitled to view with pride the record of our March of Progress
 "On June l, 1928, our Chicago Office in Room POP at 461 West Erie Street was officially opened the space looked big and the two or three people that constituted the office force felt lost in it. We had no business. Sales Representatives were engaged, and we started to work. By January 1, 1929, we had outgrown the space we occupied and moved to quarters twice as large in Room POI of the same building. We engaged more Sales Representatives, more office help, and continued to work A year from the time we started found us serv- ing over 5000 customers and en- toying constantly increasing vol ume of business.
 Tn the Fall of 1929 we added | still more Sales Representatives, more office help, and entered the 1 state of Michigan, followed last | Spring by further endorsements and introductory work in Northern Indiana.
