he met four years ago. while working
on q threshing rig near here, partici-
pated in the Sayings with him.
He said he did not know the mans
name and had been afraid to reveal
this information because he feared
the man would return and kill his
mother.

Is Cities in United States
Havc Million Population
Only Five, However, Are Off,
cialIy Credited With Figure
by Uncle Sam

New York. Jan. 27.-tR-Iiteral
Uncle Sam says there are five cities
In the United States with q popula-
ton In excess Of one million, against
three in 1920; but a more poetic IL
cense reveals that actually there are
is municipalities in the magic mil
lion class.
Whatever Uncle Sans 1890 census
takers may say. the citizens Of those
municipalities always talk in terms Of
Greater City" millions.
Whether the 1910 census count &C
tually will show at least IL cities with
more than q million depends on how
these cities and their suburbs solve
the problem Of union.
Boston proper has 78l 1888 citizens
by the 1890 census. but 1866 per-
sons were counted In the closely
packed network of 43 cities and towns
separated as q rule by arbitrary and
artificial boundaries.
Where are these Is potential mil
~lion-souled communities?
The government lists New York
City. Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit
and Los Angeles. the latter two hav-
ing climbed in the band wagon since
1920.
But New York actually has four
boroughs - Manhattan. Brooklyn,
Queens and the Bronx. each with
more than q million population. The
Bronx and Queens likewise crossed
the million mark since 1920.
Considering the boroughs separate
", Brooklyn. which has outgrown
Father Manhattan Is second city in
the land with 2,560.40l population.
Cleveland trembles on the verge Of
its first million, but the metropolitan
population Is far over the mark: the
same applies to st. Louis, Baltimore,
Boston. Pittsburgh and San Fran
cisco.
Other cities already In the million
class also have their suburban trou-
bles. For instance Philadelphia, with
I $50 .96l. unofficially counts its resi-
dents at $500 900. while Chicago,
Boosting 3,376,A38, sees . million addi-
tional in its suhurbs,xand some day
expects to join Milwaukee which is
well on the way to its own first mil
lion.

Western North Dakota Tuesday was

Two years ago the legislature
placed all of North Dakota In the
central time area. the bill passing
after bitter opposition from some
representatives from the district az
fected. A similar effort had been
made at the 1927 session but had
failed.
But after two years on the new
time basis, Senator w. z. Martin Of
Morton county offered q bill to go
back to the old system, whereby the
western edge Of the central time zone
was placed at the Missouri river. It
passed the senate without difficulty
and Monday was recommended by
the house state affairs committee for
passage. There was no opposition to
the recommendation and the measure
was placed on the calendar. An
early vote Is expected and the bill ap-
parently will meet no more opposition
In the house than it encountered In
the senate.
It carries the emergency clause
and, II passed, will become effective
as soon as 1t is signed by the gov
ernor.

read and L. l.. Twichell, Independent
leader and committee chairman,
