MOVING FROM THE CITIES. According to recent figures the popu- i lation of New York City proper has a declining tendency rather than an up ward trend. Recent State enumeration figures, according to the New York Her ald Tribune, will show that New York City has lost something like a quarter of a million people in recent months. According to experts the population decreases in cities are attributable to the . new immigration law. high rents in the cities and the advantages to be had in suburbs that are not ]x>ss:ble in the cities. The fact that people are moving from the cities- does not indicate a “back to the farm" movement, however. Rather, the people are moving out to the country to get more sunshine and more living space and they are keeping their jobs in the cities. The automobile and good roads have more to do with the “to the country ’ movement than any other agencies. The motor oar makes it possible for the sub urban dweller to get to work from a point several miles from the city as quick ly as though lie lived in the city and used the street ear. Good roads extend from all cities in every direction now and they facilitate the possibilities of the auto. The tendency away from cities caused tlie Greenville. S. News, to ask if “we are coming to the time when the cities proper, will contain no homes, but con sist nterply of stores, workshops and oth er places of business, with the residences covering the countryside for miles in all directions." Go to any city in any State now and you will see suburban developments springing up in all directions, with ap parently all of them well netronize I. It doesn’t seem improbable that in the fu ture our cities will be homeless. “UNITED STATES HIGHWAYS.” Fifty thousand miles of improved high ways, honeycombing the United States from the Canadian border to the Gulf coast and from the Atlantic to the Paci fic, have been selected as “United States Highways" and will be designated with uniform road markers. Several of these highways will be lo cated in North Carolina and every State in the I nion will have its share. The roads naturally will draw many motorists for they are certain to be in excellent condition at all times and in uddition will be so marked that travel over them will be greatly facilitated. The decision to select certain roads as “Un'ted States Highways” recalls a sug gestion made about 20 years ago by Wil liam Jennings Bryan that the United States build a modern highway around its border. Mr. Bryan was ridiculed then, but now we see the government go ing even further. Mr. Bryan's sugges tion was that one highway be built, to start at Washington and.-follow th» At lantic seabfiard;to|the (■Jqtf States, along those State!#;, to' California and back to Washington’,though tie uortberti. north western and middle western States. There will be such a highway under the “Unit ed States Highway” plan ami in addition thef# will be tributary mads collecting all sections of aU States ft* k ' . t ( .There were more than , two births for . each death in Concord during the first [ six. months of 1925, according to figures . compiled by the registrat ot vital statis tics for the city. The death report was . complete but several physicians had not ' made complete birth reports for the six ' months period and when they do the birth rate will be even higher. North Caro lina for a number of years has had the . highest birth rate of any State in the Union and the records indicate that Con cord will rank with the leading cities in the State in the matter of births. One of , the most interesting things about the re ' ’ port is the fact that only two white babes born in the city during the six 1 months period were not children of 100 per cent, native born Anglo-Saxons. The parents of thes two children are Greeks, [ one of whom has received naturalization papers. COERCION OF VOTERS CLAIMED IN SUIT Plaintiffs In Gaston County Action Want District Election Declared Void. Gastonia. Aug. 5- —Alleging that the special school bond election in this coun ty for the Robinson school district building on June 9, 1925, was conducted unlawfully and contrary to the laws of the State and that .persons who were not qualified voters cast “For Local | Tax" tickets, a complaint was filed in Gaston Superior Court yesterday by R. 11. Linberger and others, plaintiffs, against the County Commissioners and County Board of Education. The matter will be heard August 17 by Judge T. D. Bryson, who opens a week's term of civil court here on that date. John C. Robinson, the election regis trar. is accused in the complaint of leaving his post from time to time and intimidating and coercing people who were opposed to the school tax. and forcing thorn, with such intimidations ami threats to vote for the electioin. County Superintendent of Education F. P- Hall is alleged to have written letters to many of the voters and to have stat ed to them that they had bolter vote for the tax in order to avoid future trouble and that, because of the letters, the voters were caused to cast their ballots for a local tax when in fact and truth they were opposed to same. Court’s New Mania for Freak Penalties. A Long Island clergyman arrested for speeding was sentenced by a New York magistrate to prepare a sermon on the subject and deliver it in church the fol lowing Sunday. A Pueblo. Colo., man convicted of the same offense was required to write an article on “The Sin of Speeding.” But it did not satisfy the judge, who ordered him to write additional articles on “The Evils of Burglary, Robbery and Boot legging." In Miami a resident addicted to reck less driving was imprisoned for ten con secutive Sundays. A Detroit judge is receiving notoriety | because of his custom of sentencing mo toris’s accused of violating traffic regu lations to visit the morgue and hospitals witii crippled children as penance. But odd sentences are meted out in other titan traffic cases: Through admitting having spent 25 of his 51 years behind bars, a prisoner be fore a Chicago court obtained a limited sentence of 20 days in jail on a larceny I charge because of his promise to enter 11'iin other prisoners with his piano play ing. "Play songs about hpme and moth er." the magistrate instructed him. The sentencing at Cincinnati of a ne gro murderer to life imprisonment car ried with it the stipulation that the slay er be put in solitary confinement once a year—on the anniversary of the crime.

A farmer bad just built a big barn. One day as he was setting off for town 'he told his two boys to cut a small hole In one of the sides so that the cat could, get in or out at will. The boys opt a hole just beside the big barn door, but when the farmer re turned and saw it he was much dis pleased. “Why, can’t I depend on you boys to do a single thing right?" be exclaimed angrily. "Don't you know that hole is in the wrong place?” “Why?” asked the boys. The farmer fairly snorted. Leaping from the buggy, he seized the barn door and swung it open, and, of course, it covered the aperture. "Now where is your cat hole?" he shouted. “How in the name of sense can :be cat get into the barn when the door's open?” s One: “I call my Ford opportunity.” Two: "You do?" One: “Yeah; because opportunity knocks.” Bride: I don't think you wve me ns you did, George. Husband: What makes you tnink so, honey ? Bride: For three days now you j haven't been arrested for speeding on ! your way home.

The Task of Publishing a Daily News paper. Winston-Salem Sentinel. The greater difficulty of nmkiug ends meet in the conduct of daily newspapers, is being impressed upon those who try it more forcefully all the time. The average person, however, lias a very inadequate realization, we believe, of the increasuig burdens which make the task harder all tlic while. He reads his newspaper and takes it all pretty much as a matter of course, without thinking of the problems present ed in its publication. The paper, it is stated, was founded August 11. 1918. aud was published by a stock company with James Frauk, for mer edittor of the Jackson Patriot, at its head. In announcing the suspension of pub lication. the News said: "While the News has had generous patronage of many advertisers and sub scribers. its revenue from all sources has not been sufficient to publish the paper without a considiAable loss to its own ers. Many changes in conditions have taken place ill the newspaper business tile last few years in the way of ever-increas ing costs of production.” A Pathetic Story’ From Real Life. Progressive Farmer. All funerals, of course, arc more or less tragic, but there was a funeral tint | many miles from Hilltop Farm the other day that hail about it an especially poig nant and almost heart-breaking degree of tragedy. The story is well worth tell : ng as a warning to all other farmers, no matter whether young or old.

CHAPTER ll—Continued f- “Just past midnight,” said Jim presently, consulting his watch for perhaps the fortieth time within (our minutes, an increase of his nervousness betrayed by his bung | ling aim. “Today is the fifth anni versary of our marriage.” His eyes, veiled with the ardent mist of utter worship, gleamed brightly in the compressed light of the lurching \ y mail car as he gazed steadfastly upon his wife’s picture. More to air his own inward ecstasies than to enlighten his companion, Jim con tinued to talk with engaging, free ness to Bob as they worked. “Five years—each one sweeter than the last—” He choked, then recovered a letter from a wrong sack. Bob felt awkwardly put of place and socially weak in the presence of such devotion. Nevertheless, he ex perienced a vague feeling of emo tional kinship for Jim; remniscent, though wholly dissimilar, chords were struck in him, stirring up haunting memories that echoed with sweet hollowness in his thoughts, like stray notes fluttering down at “Young man,” said Smogs, “the kind passengers have taken up a collection.” evening from high steeple bells. “Don’t care so much for myself,” Jim was saying, “not that I don’t tike babies well enough—but My Dearest means more to me than any baby possibly could. Still, it will make her happiness complete. She wanted a baby. So I’m glad, for her sake—only I—wish it were over—” ] Bob had not the least idea of what to say in answer; so he compromis ed with a sympathetic nod, and was relieved a moment later when the Limited slithered to a stop in the Crater City station. Jim slid the door open for the relieving clerk and guard, who jumped in cheerily, but' stopped in alarm when they saw the odd assortment of hoboes. While the incoming clerk was signing his release order and the registered mail turnover,' Jim satisfied him with a hasty explanation. Mean time, Bob and his pals dropped to the wet platiorm, closely followed by the marine, who, glad that his vigil was over, disappeared efficient ly into the night. Bob had forgotten the conductor’s declaration that the passengers in tended to make up a purse. But not so his differently-moulded pals, who nudged one another with ex cited, smacking whispers when they saw Smogs approaching. The fat conductor was leading gingerly under the meagre shelter of the open-sided train shed a com mittee of the passengers made up of m saturnine paint drummer, an itiner ant parson, and a tourist—no less! —in golf stockings, knickers and cap. In the uncertain light of one of the shed's overhead oil lamps the Committee paused and beckoned to Bpb. Spike and Potts hastened to them, grinning, bowing. Bob, who had watched the advent of the Com mittee with uninterested contempt, remained where be was—just under f the mail car door. He intended to _wishgoo and good luck to Jim Ministerial Student Placed Under Ar rest. 1 Aag, s.—Rev. H. E.

Smogs, drawing away distastefully from the two orthodox hoboes, called to Bob to come for* ward. < Bob paid no attention; so the j Committee, virtuously determined I not to be cheated out of the satis- j faction of appearing magnanimous, j after dubiously hesitant glances J amongst themselves made the con- j cession of moving to him. “Young man,” said Smogs, “the J kind passengers have taken up a • collection—in which, ahem, I ' felt constrained to join— to reward you —•'£**'*' i Bob looked idly up into the mail ; car for Jim — * | “ —and to furnish you with a j i means of reformng and—” here with | a sour look upon_ Spike, who was j edging up and scratching his nose ] , avariciously with his steel daw, and j upon Potts, who smirked with in- j : gratiating humility, “—of breaking J ; away from bad companions.” • ? “Bad companions is the caus, of j i many downfalls—” intoned the paint < i drummer virtuously with an approv- j > al-seeking look at the parson, who i . merely yawned and giggled, how* j ever, because at that moment a drop ■of rain drip bounced on his neck and | i trickled intimately down inside his ’ ; mail order union suit. .... 'j J Smogs proffered the money, only < ; to meet with a curt refusal from i E Bob. This was a new one in the ex- '■ - perience of Smogs and the Commit- J . tee—a hobo refusing money. But a j , glance at Potts’ face, which had be- - 3 come a sea of sorrow at Bob’s un- j > precedented action, changed Bob’s < i mind. He reached out and plucked 1 , the purse from the startled conduc- i t tor’s hand. “On second thought—” he grin- i I ned apologetically, then tossed the j I purse to Potts. Spike, quick as a I famished malamute at a mushing • I team’s feeding time, caught the j I money and darted off into the ! I gloom. Potts and Bob tore after I I him, leaving a thoroughly bewilder- j j ed Committee to disperse at will. W j Overtakng Spike at a far corner ! ■ of the station building, Bob forced I him to relinquish the money to i Potts. W hen Bob’s attention was j distracted 1 by the arrival of Jim on the scene. Spike, adopting new tac- ] tics, went off arm in arm with Potts in a most friendly manner—but ! rather too hurried to be sincere. 1 “I heard the presentation cere monies,” Jim chuckled. “Glad you took Smogs down a peg. Say Wil son, by the way, you haven’t any particular place to spend the night, have you? Then why not come home with me? I’d be very glad to have you—treats are on me tonight, you know!” < .. ... | Bob declined; it was no time for Jim, he felt, to be dragging a stray tramp into his house. But Jim in sisted so good-naturedly that he finally talked down Bob’s scruples, t and the two strode away from the 7 station up the deserted and storm -7 swept street of the sleeping town. 1 Jim set a swift pace, occasionally : breaking into a run, in his .eager ; ness to reach the happiness he an ticipated at home; and he babbled t eagerly in the teeth of the wind. “Great luck to make a new friend. ’ I’m a bit superstitutious, you know : —and the luckiest omens have been : happening all day. First train we j passed was a string of coal empties \ —greatest, luck in the world,' any 1 brakie will tel! you—found a new : penny, too.” : He stopped short as he kicked an j heavy object that clattered on the • cobblestones, then stooped and pick -1 ed it up. “Holy Hannahl” he cried jovially, > “a horseshoe!” ' He fairly raced now, and Bob was 1 hard put to keep pace with him, for ■ their way led uphill and Jim’s cot tage was a good half-mile from the 1 depot. Jim ascipded the four steps ’ of his porch at a single bound and ’ dashed in, calling for Bob to fol > low. Oppressed by a strong sense that he was an intruder. Bob hesitated at the open doorway. Finally he ovef > came his scruples and steppe^ : through, after Jim. He found him ‘ self in a little parlor that was fur nished in the stodgy and' sparse ■ manner typical of the mountainous | west, observing a curious tableau. Jim, with the rapt expression of j an astronomical explorer discovcr . iag a new world, was on tiptoe, ' smiling into a wriggling bundle in } the broad arms of a nurse.
