11 ie Moose Called
Listen, gents, for half n second,
grant mc leavo to spoilt. Oh Mti:o.
whilo I try to read the riddle of the
shifty Gold Hill Now. A month ago
scanned it breathless ntul found it
plainly said that, in substance, it wan
blowing-off it bloonung horn for Tod.
Now 1 read in tonus Hat-footed that
it hasn't any use, for the clan of
office, seekers, Mulkey n to the Uig
Moose. Startled, I put down tho
pnper, lav it gently on my knee, rub
my "specs" and murmur vaguely,
"can the.se contradictions bet"'
This hero puzzling Gold Hill pnpor
has an editor named Hon. lie's for
Teddy, but like Hwana, he goes hunt
ing now and then. When young Hon
js in the wililwoods shooting bears
and trees and air, brother Hex i
fulminating in the editor-yell chair.
Hex don't care n tinker's teoot what
comes out his fountain ihmi. lie jut
grins nnd whispers slyly, "folks will
lay it all to Ben." When the News
in sober sentence sings the praises of
T. 11., you may know that Bonnie
Lampman is its guiding light and star,
but when it goes off a prancing,
clashing, snorting, full qf snap, slash
ing, kicking Ted and dancing capers
on his classic mnp, you may know tho
bloody pirate who is slicing Hull
Moose necks, is none, other than our
hero, poet, dreamer, pop-gnu Hex.
The government will attempt to ex
terminate an insect that chews holes
in tobacco plants. Let it alone and
the habit will finish it.
Speak up Teddy,
If you can,
Wlmt'd yuh get
From Hurrimnn?
Unless the Astor will i broken, the
new baby will have to struggle along
on $3,000,000.
Which same amount ought to fur
nish it insaftjly pins and rattles for
some time.

GlONsrS HtTRMAlT statistics show (lint tho increased
cost of living is in part duo to tho increased popu
lation, without a corresponding increase in agricultural
products. In tho past ton years, tho population increased
21 pur cent, while tho general increase in quantity of
crops produced was but 10 per cent. 'Phis naturally
results in the demand exceeding' tho supplv, forcing higher
prices.
The total value of tho crops of Continental United
States in 1909 was, in round numbers, $5.! 87.000,000. as
compared with $2,999,000,000 in 1S99. The increase was
thus $2,1SS,000.000, or SU per cent.
The total acreage of crops with acreage reports in
2909 was 31 1,293,000. In 1910. .7S.152.00() acres. The
crops with acreage reports, therefore, occupied YA.S per
cent of all land in farms and (S.:i per cent of the improved
land. hue the total acreage of farms increased 4.8 per
cent, the acreage in these crops increased 9.9 per cent.
The total value of crops in 1901 was equal to $")9.(;i
per capita of the population of the United States, while
the value per capita in 1S99 was $39.40. There were
0,36.1,502 farms in the United States in .1910, so that the
....!.. i i - rwr . . .... ...
v.uiic in crops oi isiuii was equal to an average of 803
per farm, -while the average value per farm for 1S99 was
A large part of the extraordinary increase in the
total value of farm crops between 1899 and 1909 is at-
trimucu to higher prices, while the acreage of crops
with acreage reports increased only 9.9 per cent, the value
of such crops increased S2 per cent. Had the prices of
1S99 prevailed in .1909. the value of these crops would
have amounted to $2,902,358,000, or an increase of onlv
10 per cent over 1S99, the average percentage of increase
in prices being thus GC.G.
Lhe increase was 21 per cent in the population of
uiu umicu ouues uecwc.cn ujuu and WW. The increase
m the number of farms from 1900 to 1910 was 10.9 per
vv,.i. ,.. i.n.- nu-ii-jiftu 1U UK. nirai population wnicii in
cludes places under 2,500 in addition to the agricultural
population, was 11.2 per cent, the increase in urban popu
lation being 34.S per cent. It is only by reason of a great
reduction in the exportation of agricultural products that
the increasing consumption of the countrv has been
supplied.
Despite the back to the soil propaganda, and the
efforts constantly made to develope new land and increase
production by more scientific methods, in all probability
w.v. b'""iii vi iij.uiu.iuu 111 ciuiLinueio exceed rue in
creased production of food stuffs with the result of a

ponding increase m land value.
. The natural tendency of civilization is toward the
city. Xo amount of effort can check it. Consequent lv
the problems of the city in future are the problems of the
mass of humanity.
"With the revolution being wrought in transportation
and m farming machinery is coming a revolution in the
character of the city and of the countrv. Instead of
being massed in a small district, the citv'dwellings will
gradually cover the entire surrounding territorv. Im
proved fanning machinery will more and more do awav
with iarm labor and force pninlnvnimif in f.lrtf,.;i
Subways and elevated trolley lines, pneumatic tubes and
jiiuwiig siuewaiKs iy annihilating distance, make possible
the substitution of populous suburbs, for crowded tene
ments.. The increasing cost of nroduce will fmv.n nn,.h
family to cultivate gardens about the dwellings and thus
help solve the problem of existence, The surplus labor
ol the countrv, eliminated by machinerv in existence and
to be devised in the future, inevitablv drifts citywards
tor employment. Intensified production, utilization of
all available land, reclamation of arid waste, desert and
swamp are imperative and inevitable.
The farmer has the best of it, but must pav as much
attention to transportation as the city man. "Transpor
tation to the city or market is a primary problem he must
solve to hold his own. The higher prices he receives for
produce arc dependent upon his facility for marketing
these products. The increasing cost of production must
he olt-set by labor-saving machinery, elimination of
vasie, more lutensitieu production. imi aAimiiin.. .fi,n.i
His first effonqhould be to secure good roads,, so that
cheap auto truck delivery systems may cut down his cost
