OUR COMMUNITY Do you know that we have a community of which we may well be proud? Well, we most certainly have. We have a most liberal supply of all the essentials that go toward making this happy, prosperous community. Let us pause a moment and list a few of the many business and social activities in which all may share. We have grocery stores, dry goods stores, clothing stores, factories, restaurants, automobile dealers, filling stations, garages, bank, a newspaper, and many other business enterprises. In addition Syracuse has a Chamber of Commerce, two women’s clubs, five churches, Boy Scout troop, a band and several civic organizations. And there are many more opportunities for those who seek them —both social and business. With such a line-up to consider and With so many chances to exercise our freedom, we may well be more than anxious to boast o I our home -community to outsiders, and make them yearn for a chance to share our prosperity and happiness. To such outsiders we extend a hearty hand of welcome to come, live here with us, and join our community of satisfied, but ever progressive, people. _______o “French Dressing.” Is it clever?

KONJOLA BRINGS NEW FEELING OF GLORIOUS HEALTH Stomach Trouble And Rheumatic Pains Completely Banished By Advanced Medicine iP'IM ■ war MR. ABLIE LOCKRIDGE “I started with Konjola on the strength of another’s recommendation and the results were amazing,” said Mr. Arlie Lockridge, R. R. 4, Newcastle, Ind. * “My stomach was so disordered that every bite of food caused me misery. It fermented and soured, causing terrific pains and I got so that I did not care to eat my meals because they only meant agony for me afterward. Then I developed a severe case of rheumatism in my arms and shoulders. “I was so pleased when I noticed the relief Konjola gave me that I kept on taking it until 1 had completed a full treatment. First of all, it relieved me of stomach trouble and now what I eat does not bother me in the least. The aches and pains left my body and all trace of rheumatism is gone now. It is a pleasure to recommend Konjola and J will indorse it every chance 1 get”. Konjola is sold in Syracuse at Thornburg’s drug store and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.

Heat is furnished from a pressure gas tank carried beneath the car. At the start of the trial trip, carrying a load of frozen fish, the temperature was 18 degrees above zero. After 11 days travel, when the car was opened and unloaded, the average temperature had fallen to 14 degrees. This marks still another step in the evolution of gas. We apparently will never reach the end of its uses; new ones are being discovered almost daily. It has proven itself invaluable in industry and our modern life. o Norina Shearer in “The Actress” is the big attraction at Crystal, Ligonier next Tuesday.

FARMS IGNORE THE LURE OF CITIES There was a net loss of 113,000 in the American farm population for 1927, less than none-nalf of the average drop during me past five years, Secretary Jardine has calculated from estimates made by the Bureau of Economics of the Department of Agriculture. These figures, compared with the loss of 649,000 in 1926, and 441,000 in 1925, ind cate, the Secretary said, that the-farming industry has struck a better balance with other businesses and offers a better opportunity to earn a living. Next year there is likely to be no loss at all, as agriculture seems to have taken up the slack and appears ready to go forward in better shape, he said, adding that the reduced drift to the cities will be a large factor in reducing urban unemployment. Another encouraging sign, Mr. Jardine noted, is that 87 per cent of those moving from the cities to the farms have had farm experience, and are returning to the land. The figures show that 1,978,000 persons left farms last year, compared with 2.155,000 in 1926, and, 1.900.000 in 1925. J

Offsetting this mov e>m ent. 1,374000 moved from the cities to farms last year, compared with 1,135.000 in 1926, and 1,066,000 in 1925. The Bureau estimated the total farm population at 27,669,001 > compared with 31,000,000 in 1920, or an average decrease of more than 400,000 a year. During 1927, the net American farm-to-city loss was only 193,000 people, less than one-half the average for five years. Farm and city population seems to be approaching equilibrium. The factories are fairly filled with citystruck farmers, to whom the farm was not inviting. Only seme economic cataclysm not now foreseen is likely to bring about another such a displacement. of industry. Figures from last year show that most of those who moved from city to country, were originally farmers; after testing both jobs, and studying farming from the outside, they now see farming as a better life than that of the city. Farming has grown steadily better, so that the margin of profit includes almost every one who can farm with any sort of industry; only the frank farm failures or , the incurably city-struck, are I now heading back to the city.
