Contrary to the situation in many parts
of the country, where urban expansion has
been taking place at the expense OF farm pop
ulation, such has not been the case in Noble
county.
There has been no mass migration of To-
cal farm families seeking different way OF
life in the cities. The great majority OF the
county FARMS despite the consultations that
have occurred, are still owned and operated
by individuals, most of whom are making
good living from them.
Facts and figures on the situation local
ly and in the other counties across the coun-
trv are brought out in studies made by the
u. S. Commerce Department, the Department
of Agriculture and others. They were made
to determine how much of the nations land
area was populated, and to what extent in
the various parts of the country
In Noble county, since the 1850 census,
the proportion of the population living in
non-urban areas, defined broadly as COM
nunites with less than $500 people, has
changed relatively little.

SCHOOL BOND ISSUE
Dear Editors:

Lear EQlJOTS.
Should we as citizens of Cald-.
well support the school bond
issue at a cost of one-half mil.
lion dollars in the face of this
terrific taxation, through the
reappraisal of property, in
creased rate of telephone, cleo
tricity, water and gas and living
going higher and higher?
What is the citizen to do with
only small salary? If he is not
a property owner, he must re-
member and understand that if
taxes are increased his rental
will also be increased. Should
our leading industry be closed
for lack of steel to operate Or
within the next three Or four
years, there could be a forced
school bond issue for consolida-
ton as there has been in other
places under the same circum-
stance, then what?
Lest we also forget the half
million dollar sewage plant to
be installed in Caldwell, toe.
Regardless of circumstances here,
it is a state law and not too far
in the distant future, this will
come to pass. Citizens think it
| over carefully. Stop, look and
| listen.
Yes, we want and must give
| our children an education and
| we want to give them play
grounds and we also want to give
them good homes, good food and
| good clothing.
But if we do not have sufficient
income to provide these require
ments and meet the demand OF
higher taxation and the high cost
of living, then what? Just what
are the people to do?
Why not survey the present
school building? If it is not ade-
quate, could it not be made Sc
with a cost of less than half a
million?

Because of the high regard and
affection in which these two
great presidents are held, any
thing they said during their life
times is of paramount import
ance. AS National Bible Week is
to be observed October 1925,
we looked up what they had to
say about the Bible. Here is
what The Father of Our Coun-
try said:

and benign light of Revelation
has had a meliorating influence
on mankind, and increased the
blessings of society"
'In regard to the Great Book, "
said the Great Emancipator, "a

best gift which God has given to
man But for this Book we
could not know right from
wrong. All those things desirable
to man are contained in it."

President Eisenhower was not using a
superficial catch-phrase when he referred to

promptly exercised authority to raise interest
rates on these bonds, at this point from a
maximum of 3.26 per cent to 3.75 per cent, he

make the bonds more attractive investment
to 40 million individuals now holding them
and 70 nanv others in position to save.
In terms of normal small-denominationa
savings, the new interest rate can stand on it's
own as a fair return. Sold in large volume
through payroll deduction plans, the bonds

And the PENNSYLVANIA Con-
gresham added this significant
note: "The report reveals ad-
ditional information in the
mountain of evidence establish
ed bevond the shadow of a
doubt the inhumanitv and cru
eltv of the enemy we face ;"
This is lust one more evil
dence of the callousness of the
Russian leaders. They have
never permitted the hunger
and poverty of their subjects
to be alleviated through the
receipt of dutv-free gifts of
food and clothing. The Com
munist regime of the Soviet
Union needed financial relief
which, to the Communist mas
ters, is far more important
than the relief Of the suffer-
ines of its subjects. Apparently
the Kremlin knew. on the basis
of IFS experience prior to World
War TT when its subjects faced
similar hawshipS. that the rel
lativeS of its subjects living in
the United States and Canada
would send aid irreSpective of
the price the Communist re-
gima would extract from them

1t is ironical indeed that
these hard-hearted, mercenary,
ruthless masters of the Kram-
lin realize the tender-hearted-
ness and generosity of peoples
living in countries whose capi-
talistic economies they pretend
to loath - and proceed forth
with to exploit that tender
heartedness and generosity.
No lesser name than ghoul

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
When l first entered Caldwell
high school, we had the same
crowded condition that exists at
the present time. In my first
year of high school, I attended
classes in the upstairs of the
building which now housed the
City Market. Both the first and
second year high school students
attended classes in this building.
In my second year of high school,
l attended classes in the new high
school building which is the same
building we are using today.
At that time, only the four
years of high school occupied this
building. Now the seventh and
eighth grades occupy the build
ing with the high school and the
old auditorium and gymnasium
have been partitioned in order
to have enough room to hold the
necessary classes. Other rooms
have been made smaller, making
a crowded condition throughout
the building.
Five years ago, when I first
started teaching at the elemen-
tary building on the hill, all the
available classrooms were in use
Since that time, the cafeteria has
been partitioned, adding two

the United States at large, the non-urban
population fell from 36.1 percent of the total
population, in 1850, to 1873 percent in 1859.
Noble countys non-urban population,
which was II 800 in 1850, is now estimated at

The Commerce Department reports that
100000 people in the United States-one
out of every five-changed their places of
residence in the year ending March, 1858.
Of these, 81 percent moved to other
places within the same county and 33 percent
sought greener fields elsewhere.

found to be the most mobile and that of the
Northeastern states the least. The South had

necessary for most of the stu
dents to carry their trays Of food
back to their classrooms to eat.
The high school students eat on
tables placed in available corners
in the halls. Two small storage
rooms have also been made into

The steady increase of stu
dents in the Caldwell schools, as
it is in all parts of the country,
has all available space crowded

crowded conditions.
