Gives Reasons For ‘Back-

J
A “*
TELLS WHAT THEY NEED
{ . 5 1 h'%
. \ Somebody said the other day: “It's
easy to see what the country is com-
ing to—it’s coming to the city!”
And that sums up a pretty general
opinion, liberally backed by census
figures. Of course, the popular song
writers have a different idea of the
trend, and, if we were willing to be-
lieve them, we should expect to see the
cities rapidly depopulated, as home-
sick, mammy- yearning / city-dwellers
rushed to board the “midnight choo-
choos” for Alaba,” or “Sunny Tennes-
see,” or “the little gray home in the
West,” or “a cottage small by a water-
fall”—or some other rustic spot, tar
from the turmoil of city streets.
But these lyrics of the, songsmiths
are based, I féar, on sentiment instead
of on statistics, For the popular im-
bression as to 'the immigration eity-
ward does tally with the statistics.
Here is the proof of it: In 1890 more
than 57 per cent of our population
lived in the country. Last year’s cen-
sus showed that only 37 per cent of the],
total were in rural communities.
We'see the cities expand in both di-
rections (sidewise and up-and-down —
become more complex and congested
and deafening—rear more stupefying
pinnacles—burrow deeper,into the bed-
rock—ifling more titanic bridges—grow
ever mightier and more magnificent.
But how about the small towns of,
say, from 1,000 to 10,000 people? Were
they not the ancient stronghold of our}
traditions, the bulwark of the Nation's
strength? No candidate for national
office was ‘supposed to have a chance
unless he came from a small town—
the smaller the better! And so let us
see what the outlook is—especially the
business outlook—for . those small
places.
If you will bear with me, let us “go
statistical” for a moment. Between the
census years of 1920 and 1930, the 2,200
odd little towns in the country with
populations between 2,500 and 10,000
just about held their own in relation
to. the (country as a whole; in’ both
years they accounted for almost ex-
actly nine per cent of our total popu-
lation. How about the smaller hamlets
and villages of léss than 2,500 people?
Well, their portion of the total popu-
lation has shrunk from 83% to T% per
cent since 1920.
But how about the possibility that a
change is now at hand? Will new
. business methods and conditions offer
new prospects to the small town? If
you want my answer right now to
these questions, I would say yes.
But let us look first at the other side
—the factors working against the
small « town. Powerful commercial
forces have swept through and swirled
around it. An unquestionably one of
the most potent of those forces has
been the modern business tendency to-
ward ever-larger units of organization
and operation in farming.
/For instance, one is amazed to note
the extent of farmers’ co-operatives’
dealings and their reaction on the busi-
ness of the small towns. In the ad-
mirable Yearbook 'of the Department of
Agriculture I find that there are 12,000
farmers’ co-operative associations in
the United States. More than 3 mil-
lion farmers belong to them. Their es-
timated total business amounts to 2%
billion dollars annually, Most of that,
of course, is in farm products sold. But
what is the extent of their co-opera-
tive buying? It amounts to pretty
nearly 200 million dollars in the course
of every year. 2
“Just/what has this to do with the
small town?” vou may ask. Here is the
is the point: The farm co-operatives
largely buy these supplies directly
from the manufatcurers. The
come generally in car-load lots. The
co-operatives ristribute them to their
members. In such transactions as this,
the small-town hardware store, feed
store, agricultural implement store,
general store, are permitted to play no
part. The same is true of the pur-
chases for most of the large scale
farms that are being operated now by
individuals or corporations, most of the
things that they need they buy direct,
from some distant manufatcuring cen-
ter.
Just what is the extent of the tend-
ency of small town folks to buy goods
“out of town?” If we are to draw any
any ‘valid conclusions we need exact
data—and fortunately I am in a posi-
tion to give you precise figures in a
typical case. A. real “business clinic”
on this matter was conducted just re-
cently by an expert employed by the
Chamber of Commerce in a small Tili-

Attorney Smith
Addressed Rotary
Bu
Local Club Members Highly
Interested In 45-Minute
Talk By Attorney ;
“At its Seetings last Thursday night
| Assistant District ‘ ‘Attorney Roscoe
Smith save astirringforty-five-minute
address | before members of Dallas
Rotary Club on “Crime Costs and
Crime Prevention in the United States
and Luzerne County.”
He asserted .that crime is costing the
United States a direct annual outlay
of sixteen billion dollars, and an indi-
rect cost of three billion dollars,
through the loss of earning power of
criminals. This nineteen billion dollar
annual crime bill is a little more than
one-half of the total United States debt
ineluding the cost of the World War.
In the case of Luzerne county the
cost of crime has increased fifty per
cent during the past five years, rising
from eight hundred thousand dollars
in 1926 to a million two hundred thou-
sand dollars in 1930. He stated that
95 per cent of the liquor cases that are
brought. before the court are prose-
cuted and found guilty. ;
Mr. Smith urged ‘the members of
Rotary to respond in every case ot
jury and not dodge that duty by simu-
lated illness and excuses. Mr. Smith |
feels that the juries do not take, their
duties seriously enough and do not sift
the evidence enough to vote fearlessly.
Rather than unanimous decisions, Mr.
Smith believes that a 9-10 decision
should be sufficient for conviction. In
commenting on Kis-Lyn the speaker
said that the institution costs the
county $96,000 annually and is to’ crim-
inology what preventative medicine is
to the medical profession. It is an in-
stitution of which every Luzerne
county citizen should be: proud.
All members of the club with the ex~
ception of three were present. Those
absent being George Metz, who is on
his vacation; George Behler, who was
out of town on business and who made |
attendance at the Wilkes-Barre Club,
and. Prof., Warren Taylor, of Trucks-
ville schools, who has been touring
Europe after attending the Interna
tional Convention of Rotary at Vienna,
Austria. Prof. Taylor will be in New
York today, and will give his report
of the convention at next week's meet-
ing of the club, later going to his par-
ents home in the southern part of the
State, to spend the remainder of his
vacation.
Yesterday afternoon and last night
members of the club entertained their
wives at a lawn party at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Warren Yiesley on the
Isaacs’ Farm.
WE APPRECIATE
MR. ENGELMAN’S GIFT
Edgar Engelman, of Noxen, dropped
into our, office the other morning and
left us a quart of Latham raspberries
grown on his fruit farm tat Noxen.
The berries are the finest, largest ana
best flavored we have ever seen or
tasted. .
Mr. Engelman is a progressive young
acres devoted exclusively to berry
plants he operates a large orchard of
choice varieties of apples. The berry
fields at this season of the year pre-
sent an unusual sight and are well
worth a trip to Noxen to view.
Commenting on ' the season, - Mr.
Engleman says+that the crop this year
has been about normal. Right at the
present time is a good period for berry |
growers to go through their fields and
rogue out the diseased plants as these
diseases are quite prevelent this year.
Mr. Engleman has made an exhaustive
study of fruit growing and is con-
sidered one of the most scientific of
the younger generation of fruit grow-)
ers in this vicinity. He warns that all
diseased bushes * should be scorched
with a torch before removal from the
ground to kill the aphis.

Welcome Rains
What could be more pleasant or
more beneficial than the recent rains
which have drenched this section?
Farmers. fields were parched by the
drought and the heat. ‘Water supplies
throughout the back mountain section
were showing (the effects of the
drought and were dwindling to a point
where the water company had to put
restrictions on the use of the hose in
fear of a repetition of last year's
drought. While the rains of the past
few days have by no means entirely
relieved the situation, they have done
much to replenish ‘the diminishing
water supplies and to remove for the
immediate present the dangers of a
severe drought. The weather appears
to have changed. In the summer we
get very little rain and in the winter
very little snow.

New Board Of County Asses-
sors Likely To Make
Two Changes Here
With the assumption of office this
week by the new board of County As-
sessors changes in the personnel of the
sub-assessors throughout the county is
expected momentarily. In the Dallas
district there are likely to be at least
two changes.
‘ The removal of the present sub-as-
sessors and the appointment of new
ones is a part of the spoils system ex-
pected in political circles.
During the past week several local
men have been prominently mentioned
as likely possibilities for the jobs,
Those mentioned are: Nelson Rogers,
of Idetown; Wilson Garinger, Fred
Turpin and Warden Kunkle, of Dallas.
All of these men have connections
and abilities such that have warranted
the supposition that the sub-assessor-
of Con-
gressman Murray Turpin, who is in-
ential with the new board of Assessofs,|
while Warden Kunkle hgs the supporu
of all local committeemen and the sup-
‘port of strong leaders in the Fine or-
ganization. Appointments will prob-
ably not take place before the first of
August.

When a fast driving automobile
struck a small stone on the cement
pave in front of the Risley-Major Co.
store on ‘Main street, Wednesday, the]
stone was hurled with such force that
it broke one of the big plate glass

A Correction
Recently Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gos-
sart, of 41 Ridge street, Shavertown,
celebrated their sixteenth wedding an-
niversary. In its account
THE. POST inadvertently referred to
it as their golden wedding anniversary,
with the result that both Mr. and Mrs.
Gossart received numerous compli-
ments for their youthful appearance
on their fiftieth anniversary. THE
POST, sorry for the error, etxends its
best wishes to the couple with the hope
that they may some day celebrate
their fiftieth anniversary and that all
of the guests present at the sivteenth
may be present at the fiftieth, includ-

Wells Are Drained
For Idetown Fire
Husted Home Completely
Destroyed By Fire Early
Thursday Morning
Handicapped by lack of water, Tetra A
companies from Dallas and Harvey's
Lake early yesterday morning were
forced to devote their efforts to saving
‘adjoining residences from flames that
totally destroyed the home of Ralph|
‘| Husted along the Lake highway at Ide-
town
The Husted home was completely
destroyed by the fire, believed to have
originated in a defective chimney. The
fire was discovered at 5 o'clock in the
morning by a man who rents the home
from Husted and burned itself out in
four hours. Fire departments frem the
Lake and Dallas fought the flames un-
der the direction of Chief Robert Allen,
but when it was evident the house was
doomed, turned to preventing the
spread of flames. The home of Law-
rence Keller is adjacent to the Husted
property, but was not damaged.
Damage to the house was estimatea
at about $6,000, partly covered by in-
surance. Firemen declared that lack of
hose connections made it impossible to
bring the fire under control and their
efforts were confined to organiizng a
bucket, brigade. Several nearby wells
were drained dry by the volunteers.
SHAVERTOWN STORES
ENTERED THURSDAY)
Burglars who entered the stores of
W. E. Geyer and Herman Van Campen,
located in the same building at 10
South Main street, Shavertown, were
frightened off shortly after 2:30 o'clock
Thursday morning before they secured
any loot. The theives are believed to
be the same gang that last week en-
tered the store of Frnak Malkemes on
Centre street, Shavertown, and got
away with $6.50.
Residents who saw lights moving in
the double store building, which. also
houses the Shavertown postoffice, noti-
fied Mr. Geyer, but when he arrived
the burglars had fleed. The top of the
cash register in the Geyer meat and
grocery department had been partially
pried off with a screw driver, but the
contents were untouched.
State Police and local police officers
are investigating the case.
FATHER AND SON
FINED $25 EACH
Charged with violation of the fish
