even the children of the slums.”
Why Farms Are Abandoned.
“No wonder the last census showed
that for the first time In history the
United States had become an urban
rather than a rural country. In 1880
only 28.6 per cent. of the people lived
in the cities and 71.4 per cent. lived on
the farms. Today the situation is re-
versed and 61.4 per cent of the people
are city dwellers”
"What 9s the chief reason for this
y migration from the farms to the city?”

propriftor is intimately acquainted

are low, especially when quality and

The Republicans in Centre county
are in a quandary. They are seeking
the winning candidate for Governor
and for United States Senate. Of
course, each candidate will have a
following, but the men and women who
are always looking for crumbs and
have mnde themselves belleve for years
they are Republican leaders would be
willing to follow any one of the can:
didates certain to win, With these fit-
ness is non-essential; they want to
follow into the winnig camp. Forme
er Judge Dale was the only “politic
lan” who sensed the gut wagon when
Pinchot was a oandidate four years
ago, and he has had meat aplenty
ever since-—a $6.000 job especially cre-
ated for him, he ls enjoying now. This
looks so good to the remainder of the
office-hungry “self-denying politicians”
that they are incessantly paying for
light.
