GUESS AGAIN!

The taking does not to be very satisfac-
tory to majority of the people in the towns and cities of
Arizona The figures do tally with those that
have been given by the secetarse of the Chambers
of Commerce during the past two three years
Tucson has been claiming population of 5000,
while the enumerators could find only about $4,000.
Phoenix citizens would become very indignant if
should intimate that their city had less than 900 co.
900 living souls while the government statscians
experiencing difficulty in finding 900 in Phoenix They
have given out the SOS call for assistance They
calling the Chamber of Commerce. Boy Scouts, high
school students and members of the W. T. c. u to
the city for additional names-they just can't understand
it.
1t reminds very much the the Democratic
party in presidential campaign Six months before eec
ton their candidate is going to win by overwhelming
majorty-they claim not less than hreefourths of the
states in the union-but when the votes counted in
November they find their strength overestmated by at
least fifty per cent.-Chandler Arizona.

WELL, WHY NOT-AND WHEN?

The weekly papers of the state badly in need of
organization to protect their Interests against
predatory politicians we'll the free propaganda
agents the country. The code developed few
waops at the weekly newspapers. The country news
paper editor rapidly developing business but
the big politicians and big daes too rapid for him.
AS the poltcinan him freely with his dope
dope he pays to write for him and the weekly
prints news the weekly editor thrown overheard and
laws made by he friends he has made by giving him
free publicity and boosting their game along"
The average country weekly would be able to to
belong to the National Editorial association and to state
press association they would only cut out the political
free stuff and make them pay their freightCoco

THE VILLAGES DECLINE

If the present nothing else at least will
to remind that today America undergoing pro-
found change. The change affair do not always
notice, but is taking effect just the and the
figures can be depended upon to reveal it to us.
For instance; early compilations show amazing
shift in the status of the small town. In so per cent Of
small towns tabulated in Illinois and Indiana, very
marked decline in the population from 1920 was noted
In nearby states the percentage higher
Where small towns did actually show decline, their
rate of increase uniformly below the normal birth
increase
The American small town, in other words seems to be
in the of vanishing Something very profound
been happening to and while the immediate
not hard to SEEK finding the ultimate effect will
probably be muuch more difficult job.
The automobile and good roads are probably chiefly
responsible They have put the farmer into infinitely
closer touch with the city than before He does
much need now, to rely the village He can buy
his goods in the city, go the city medical aid take
MS recreation IN the cltcut loose in other words from
the odtme cross roads settlement outstanding feature
of American life since the nation was organized.
Just how far this tendency will go is great question
1t be that will not stop until practically all popula
ton concentrated in cities. On the other hand it is
equally possible that countermotion will set in that
improved of transportation will the cities
up, scattering suburban villages far and wide
miles away from their base. Either thing happen
Just at present. however, the tendency seems the
stronger.
Probably it will be generations before we can see
clearly just what the outcome will be- Meanwhile change

and sgnificant-is going on all about The census
