The lncrease is accepted by the cen-

the cities and industrial centers gen-
eratly are increasing at the expense of
tbe agricultural regions. Of the sixty.
seven counties in Pennsylvania, nine-
teen, or more than one-filth, show a

BOUNC FOR TEXAS,
Brush Valley Farmers Go To South West

19th,
Twenly-five to fifty years ago, there
was & general movement westward by
farmers discontented in the east, and
it now appears that history is repeat-
ing itself, with slight varistione—the
trend is toward the southwest and
northwest. The mode of travel then
was tedious, Many of the earlier
settlers from Penns Valley and Brush
Valley who located in Ohio, Illinois,
Indians, Michigan and Wisconsin,
traveled overland, Later, when Min-
vesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska agd Dakota began to be popu-
lated by Pennsylvanians, travel was by
raliroad, except, perhaps, the first and
the last ten, twenty or thirty miles.
The home seeker in Texas may, if he
wishes, travel as a king. He can se-
cure a palace car for himself and
family, as well as a palace car for his
herd. He neod scarcely leave his Car,
once he enters it, unless he cares to do

markably short time, and with almost
