. THURSDAY. MARCH ». Movement from City to Farm and Farm to City Slowing Up Washington.—The movement from «ity to farm and farm to city has slowed up somewhat during 1928, ac- cording to figures revealed by the Department of Agriculture. 1,960,000 persons left farms during the last year, as compared with 1,978,- <000 persons during 1927 and 2,155,000 daring 1926. The movement from cities to farms was 1,362,000 persons last year, 1,374,- 000 in 1927 and 1,135,000 in 1926. The farm population is now the amr.llest in twenty years, with 27,511,- U00 on the farms in the United States January 1, compared with a peak cf 32,000,000 in 1909. The January, -1029, figure may be compared to the January, 1928 figure of 27,699,000 population. This decrease came about Chevrolet Prepares for Motoring Season * Company Announces i (’emprehensive Program for Service Protection of It* Cars. v In preparation for American’s big- ipest motoring season, the Chevrolet Motor Co. annources the develop ment of a comprehensive program for the service protection of the millions of its cars that will he in use this Spring, says J. B. Grubbs, local Chev rolet dealer. Surveys made by the company in- indicate that automobile travel this year will break sll mileage records; they show that the automobile will he called on to shoulder an increasing portion of the nation's transportation requirement'- and they point out that the automobile will pioneer its way this year into uncharted spots ard occluded recedes, where until ^>ut a few years ago. service was miles away and frequently uncertain. It wa«i with a view to making Chev rolet service even more accessible, thorough, rapid and economical to the owner that the piesent expansion and perfection program was undertaken. J. P. Little, mar ager of the parts and arrvice division, explained. So extensive has been the develop ment of the service activities of the company, he said, that there are now 2§J96(» points in the United States where the Chevrolet owner may ob tain authorized Chevrolet service and genuine parts. This is perhaps the folh-st service coverage ever offered by an automobile manufacturer, Mr. Little declared, ard a-sures the Chev rolet owner of the widest possible parts servi.e protection. Th.- program contemplates the open ing this year of eleven new parts Warehouse;^. h additio- to the 2* * now in operatic n. Several of these wil* be »n operation in May, with oth« ’m openir g ut intervals until Oc tober 31st whr*n the lart of the group will be finished. New warehouses are bring built or will bo constructed this year in the following cities: Indian- opnl is, Ird.; Birmingham, Ala.; Salt despite improved agricultural condi tions. The decrease in farm population in the last year would have been much greater were it not offset by an excess of births over deaths ,the figures re veal irg that the movement of po lation from and to farms, 1,960,000 persons left farm* during the year and 1,362,000 persons moved from cities to farms. The large farm birth rate of 23 births per 1,000 persons and small death rate of eight deaths per 1,000 persons has been a big factor offset ting the farm-to-city movement, so that the net loss of farm population lait year was 188,000 persons, com pared with 193,000 in 1927 and with 649,000 in 1926. Lake City, Utah; Richmond, Va.; Great Falls, Mont.; El Paso, Texas; Wichita, Kansas, and Knoxville, Tenn. Sites for the remaining three ware houses will be anounccd in a few weeks. When completed this Fall, the parts warehouse program will provide Chev rolet with 1,180,000 square feet of floor space for the actual warehousing and shiping of parts, exclusive of the necessary office space. Simultaneously with the announce ment of the new six cylinder car, ade quate parts supplies were shipped to each of the 28 parts warehouses. In this..connection, Mr. Little explained that more than 5,000 Chevrolet me chanics in various sections of the country have already attended the special Chevrolet service schools, where under the supervision of fac tory exparts they make a thorough study of the new car and prepare themselves to offer the owmer prompt ami efficient service. Thirty-one of the-e schools are row' in operation. The same tremendous manufactur ing facilities that rre enabling the company to offer the new car at its price, Mr. Little pointed out, are permitti* g Chevrolet to offer parts at prices consistently low* and well within pi ice r ang*- of the four. He called attention to the stragetic locations of the large group of parts warehouses stre«sir g the fact that sites had been sele ted with a view to getting parts closer to the public. He further pointed out that the uniform flat rate system of service charges that prevails in every Chevro let service station gives the owner the advantage of the lowest possible ser vice and price protection at the same time.

COW MILKING TABLE. STAND OR RUN YOU’RE SHOT. AN OFFER FOR COOLIDGE. A GIFT TO MRS. COOLIDGE. Farmers will be interested in the “fifty cow milking table.” The information comes from Dr. J H. McNeil, Chief of the New Jersey Bureau of Animal Industry. The milking table is devised by the Walker Gordon Company’s New Jersey milk farm. It is a beginning of industrial methods applied to milk produc tion. A huge table like a small round house” with fifty absolutely clean cow stalls- on it, is made to revolve, slowly. The cows walk on and off, while the table is iq motion, and soon get used to the new idea. To each cow an electrical milk ing device is attached as it enters its stall. At the end of one com- plete table turning, the cow, milked and stripped,” walks off the table at the spot where it walked on, and is immediately fed. ■ n e - c ^ • y our cows always after nulking. Feeding before milking taints the milk. Cows like the milk mass production idea, the relief of milking, followed by the pleasure of eating, makes a pleasant com bination. The .Walker Gordon Company, milking fifteen hundred cows in one of it* stables, can use several tables. . Buay Hmaaa Hoart The adult heart—the only organ In the body whose muscles never rest nor sleep during life—makes an average total of 108,000 beats every 24 hours! How does this busy organ find time to “eat” and fortify Itself for its ar duous labors? Prof. Y. Kato of the Okayama Medi cal college, Japan, says in Popular Science Monthly that nature has pro vided what he described as little “din ner pails” from which the muscle fibers of the heart are Ingeniously “fed.” These “palls” are tiny, dlsk- llke organs between the muscle fibers, and their duty Is to collect food ma terials from the blood and pass them around to the heart muscles. Farmers may take their cows to co-operative milking lines, like the production line in an automobile factory. Workmen wil stand still, cows slowly passing them, one man cleaning them free of dust by vacuum cleaner, made by Mr. Wooley of the American Radiator Company Another man would wash the cows’ udders, another apply the milking machinery, another meet the milked cow, walking off the line to her dinner. Such a plan, taking the cow to the man, would put milk farming on a modem industrial basis. The average milk farmer would like to get thirty cents a quart for his milk, as Walker Gordon does, in stead of $1.80 for 100 pounds of milk, but that is another problem In these days of widespread crime it is difficult to know whether to stand still or run. Henry Lagowitz, seventeen, in nocent of evil, coming out of his aunt's house, saw a “plain clothes” detective who for some reason didn’t like his looks and told him •o stop. He thought h was a highway man, and ran. On gem pies, the detective »hln him He will recover. * On the high road a man raises ms hand, orders a driver to stop. The driver has two guesses. He may be stopped by a highwayman, * nrtent on robbing him, or by OH virtuous prohibition enforcement officer, investigating. The wise thing is to stop and save your life, for in either ca$<F you run the risk of b(^ng shot Mr. Mills, able advertising man, wishes you to- know that he has offered Prcsident^Coolidge $75,009 a year for four vears, to act as general director of a home-furnish ing movement. President Coolidge has bigger offers. Why not offer the home- furnishing job to Colonel Lind bergh, whose mind just now is probably concentrated on that very subject. Patriotic ladies present to Mrs. Coolidge a souvenir of her admir able “kindness and graciousness while hostess of the White House.” / Slippery Thief For years a mysterious thief, too smart to be caught, has stolen electric light bulbs from subway stations in New York city. The ioss runs Into thousands annually. Stories by pas sengers who have caught a glimpse of the thief from cars have given po lice a good idea of the way he oper ates. Waiting until the platforms are empty he takes out two or three bulbs and puts them into his pocket It Is believed he goes from station to sta tion and at the end of a day collects many dollars’ worth of bulbs. The wonder is he isn’t out after bigger game in New York city.—Capper’s Weekly. Th« Limit Little Anita was in the first month of the first year of her school life. Laboriously she had learned the con secutive ordei of numbers as far as seven. She couldn’t Imagine that any thing in the counting line could exist beyond that figure. Just at that time her mother readied another milestone on the road of life and the members of the family wished her many happy returns of the day. When It came to Anita’s turn, she said: “Many happy returns of the day, mother. I hope you Hve—” and then after a long and thoughtful pause, “for seven years more.” ■Tautoc aster |i: Rose Gallagher,^ New York actress, is the bride of George Loft, Jr., the son of the Candy King, and a noted sportsman.
