The cost of equipping a flying club
and obtaining a plane for use of the

fessional pilot.
Two or three place planes can now
be purchased new for as little as
$1,000. There are more than 20 makes

Gliding Clubs Popular
There has been a great growth in
the number of glider clubs formed
this year. Several manufacturers are
putting gliders on the market. Most
gliders are priced under $500, making
it possible for the organization of a
glider club with 20 or 25 members
each contributing $25 towards the
purchase.
Complete plans for the formation
of glider clubs may be obtained from
several manufacturers of aircraft
who are also manufacturing gliders.
These manufacturers expect little

discussed the various types Of orig
inal bids. Following are some ex-
ample hands showing how to apply
these bids:
SpadeseA Jxxx

Diamonds-A X Xxx

This hand contains a biddable
four-card suit and a biddable five
card suit-also three defensive tricks,
therefore the original bid IS one, and
as there are two suits, the four card
suit should be bid first. The opening
bid would be one diamond, and on the
second round Of bidding the spades
should be shown. Partner could
then count the hand for four dia-
monds and five spades.

TREND OF POPULATION
TOWARD CITIES SHOWN
az the Associated Press.

Population growth of the United
States has represented a steady And
increasing stream towards the larger
cities.
This is proved by Census Bureau
statistics covering the last 80 years,
which show the urban population was
40 per cent of the total in 1900, jump
ing to 45.S in 1910, to STA in 1920 and
recording a further increase to $50 in
1880. The bureau CLASHES as urban"
those communities of over 1850 popula-
ton.
The % cities Of 100, 600 population in
1880 represented 29.6 per cent of the
total population, the net increase for
these cities for 1880 being 80 per cent.
There were 283 cities of between $4,000
and 100000, representing 10.5 per cent
of the total population, which show an
increase of 3G.6 per cent over their
1920 figures. The combined total In
crease Of these two groups, 1853 cities,
Is 81 per cent Of the total increase
for the country.
The cities in the group with popu-
lation Of $4,000 to 100000 have grown
at faster rate than those having over
100000. The suburban communities
adjacent to the larger cities, many Of
which are included in this group, have
grown most rapidly. There appears
to be q definite trend toward suburban
residence, largely due to improved pub
lie and individual transportation facili-
ties and to expansion Of business dis
tricts In the larger cities.

HARVEST DELAYED
Heavy Yield Cuts Down Pros
pect of Profitable Return
This Year.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlbpaJCn 10 Inc SIkI.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. June 2o.-With
harvest somewhat delayed by rains, the
wheat belt is waiting on the activity
Of gathering the notably large crop In
sight, while trade and bank interests
are wondering Just what the producer
will do with his money-what there is
Of it. When he gets down to figuring
he finds that he actually has no profit,
but he will have some ready cash and
upon this basis are sustained hopes Of
betterment in business.
Curiously, there is far less discourage
ment than was manifest last Autumn
and Winter, due to the familiarity with
the problem and the adoption of ways
and means to meet the new conditions.
The first distribution of the wheat
money will, of course, be devoted to
meeting current obligations as far az
it will 60 and after that any surplus
will be turned to trade Many re-
adjustments have been made on the
farmsteads that have cut down ex-
penseS and while every sort Of produc-

Queer out Of debt Is getting along and
ready for requirements as soon as he
can make them. Spring trade has been
below last year except in case of spe-
cisl sales and exceptional values.
An interesting sidelight on the in
vestor's attitude Is the continuance
CT sales of utility preferred stocks.
Statesmen ere busy disposing Of these
on the installment plan and are abb
sorbing the spare sums professional and
salaried workers are able to save. This,
Of course, affects savings bank accounts
in the interior and Is due to a feeling
that utilities are more favorably situated
than other concerns. While legislatures
have indicated investigations of rates
and farmer members are inclined to
anti-power attitudes, the large distri-
button Of ownership has thus far held
public service commissions to fairness
in their regulation Of rates.
The new corn crop is coming along
fairly well. with probability of going
into the heated term in strong posi-
ton. The tendency toward diversified
production should induce a greater use
of corn than formerly and balance the
activities of the producer better than
has been seen during the last several
years. Out of this he may work out a
sounder system that will ut into his
situation.
