1880, according to the census, whereas the number of children under 5 years decreased one per cent.
 There were about 150,000 fewer births in 1881 than in 1930. The rapid decline in the birth rate since the world war is ascribed to two major immediate causes-the reduction in European immigra- tion and the increased migration from farm to city.
 Birthrate Drops
 The immigrants from Europe were mostly young people, recent iy married or of marriageable age. who came from peasant farms where the tradition of large famil- ies persisted. The recent swift de- cline in the birth rate of children to women of child d-bearing age in the cities has been largely confin- ed to the population of foreign birth parentage.
 The reasons for this are that foneign-born mothers are growth older and therefore having fewer children. while native-born moth- CTS of foreign parentage are adopt- ing the American custom of small families.
 For many years native-born mothers in large cities have not been having enough children to maintain a stationary population.
 The farm to city movement has been one mostly of young people Since farm people have a much higher birth rate than city people this migration of the young to the cities, where they will have fewer children than on the farm, is fur- ther reducing the nations birth rate.

RUSTCARD NOT
 TO QUIT RAGE,
 HE ANNOUNCES
Says Will Not Withdraw from Race for Party
 Nomination

Although recently nominated by President Hoover for Federal Judge in the Second Division, Attorney General John Rustgard today an- nounced that this would make no difference in his campaign for the Republican nomination for re-elec- ton He said ernphatically he has not and will not withdraw from the race at this time.
 He regards it as extremely un- likely that any confirmation of the nomination will be had before App Til 26, the date of the primary election and asserted that defeat then probably will militate against his confirmation
 Issues Formal Statement
 To clear up any misunderstand- ing of his position in the matter, MT. Rusbgard today issued a brief statement as follows:
 The public seems imbued with the idea that I am no longer a candidate for Attorney General. I hope this impression will be cor rected. I ann still candidate and hope my friends will not forget that fact.
 My name is before the Senate for confirmation as Judge at Nome but no confirmation is likely to be made prior to the primary, and, if meanwhile, I am defeated at the primary, I will probably not be confirmed.
 "It is regretta.ble that this ap- pointment was made just before the primary. The vacancies at Nome and Fairbanks have exist ed for nearly two years, and to one who does not know the inside workings it would look as though they might have been held open another two weeks. Under pres ent conditions they are certain to confuse or mislead Q large per- centage of the voters.
 Will Cost Votes
 My appointment happened to be so nicely timed that the news thereof caught the last mail to peninsltlar points and other outly- ing precincts. People there will think I am out of the race and have no means of coulteracting the effect, either by mail or tele- graph. This is bound to lose me hundreds of votes.
 Not only is the confirmation uncertain, probably depending up- on the result of the primary, but at the beginning of the present session of Congress two bills were introduced, at the request of the Department of Justice, 10 abolish the Second Judicial Division. The Department has declined to ex-

 Many farm families in Gwinnet county have well-stocked pantries the State College has another suc- oessful experiment for it's record books and the needy of Atlanta will receive a supply of wholesome food as result of the project.

 An old warehouse in Lawrence vile was offered for use as a building, but canning equipment was expensive. Then discarded steam roller was found that could still be used to generate steam. A judge Of the circuit court ar ranged for use of some confiscat- ed copper stills as boilers. The State College of Agriculture fur nished other equipment.
 An Atlanta business house agreed to furnish 6O,0O0 cans on 5O-5O basis. The firm also agreed to distribute it's share of the canned product to needy families of At ltnta during the winter.
 Officials of the state college said approximately 1000 farm families ir Gwinnett county contributed labor and materials Under strict supervision the canning was done scientifically.
 The quality of the materials canned, the economical and effic- tent plan of handling and the vol ume handled proved the idea agri- culturally and scientifically sound, said J. Phil Campbell, director of extension work at State college.

Let Us Have Light.

In every important European capital,

are forthcoming which leave the aver
age citizen in this country completely
befuddled as to just exactly what has
happened in the reparations-war debts
business.
"Gentlemen's agreements" indirectly
entangling the United States with the
plan to relieve Germany Of her obliga-
tions, are affirmed and denied. Par
ticipation in the Lausanne negotiations
by Representatives of America" Is al
legged in Europe and disavowed over
here. Categorical affirmations of "se-
cret understandings" are followed by
specific refutations.
On top of this mass of contradictions

tirely to be relieved Of reparations and
should be required to recognize the
