A good report of the precinct
Sunday School Convention at
Bear Creek was brought back
by the Lancaster delegates. Rev,
Warren,'of the Christian church
spoke on the “Ideal Sunday
School Teacher,” and Rev. Ha-
tfiorn followed out the general
theme, co-operation, in his talk,
“How can ^ve make co-operation
count for Christ.” Mr, Taylor,
ot Dallas, had “Daily Bible Read-
ng” as his subject, and Mrs. J.
H. Shelly, also of Dallas, the
Home Department work. The
people of Bear Creek served an
excellent dinner on the ground.
The next convention will be held
in the Christian church at Lan-
caster. the date to be announced
ater. ^
The entertainment given at
:he Methodist church Monday
night by the oriental trio, was in
a measure a disappointment, due
not to the entertainers nor to the
Npworth League, but to the fact
that the electrical current fur-
nished by local power was not
strong enough for the moving
picture apparatus. The lecture,
marriage scene, and other cus-
toms reproduced by the individ-
uals were all that was promised
in this line, and as the failure
was due wholly to the inability
of the town to put on an enter-
tainment that almost any other
cown in the state could handle,
he citizens of the town should
not “kick” if they think they did
not get their full money's worth.
This is only one small instance
where Lancaster is losing out.
Prof. C. M. Lyon/ returned
Saturday night from Galveston
where be spent last week attend-
ing the Synod of Texas. He re-
ports a great meeting and that

many friends and acquaintances
among the workers. The mem-
bers of the denomination and
he citizenship ot Galveston in
general were very generous in
their hospitality, and entertain-
ment of fire kind which only Gal-
veston can afford was given the
visitors and delegates. Between
sessions of the Synod Mr. Lyon
visited Texas City where he is
interested in a bank which was
organized last January. He has

CHICAGO, ILLS.—Mr. J. Q. j
Becker, of 134 Van Buren St.,
well-known wholesale dry i
dealer, states as follows:
“I have had catarrh for i

he past decade, and our city popul-
ation has increased from 559,872 in
1900 to 938,104 in 1910, making an
ncrease of 378,232 or 67 per cent.
We now have twenty *cities with
en thousand population and over,
and three cities that approximate
100,000 in population.
The per capita increase in wealth
of city population, taking the, as-
sessed vplue of city lots and buildings
as a basis, has advanced from $339
in 1900 to $540 in 1910, making an
increase of $210 per capita or 59
per cent.
Compare these figures with those
of the per capita increase in farm
wealth and we find the farmer has
made an increase of 117 per cent
against an increase of 59 per cent
within our cities. These figures
>rove that we have greater oppor-
;unities on the farm for money mak-
ng than in the city and if our eit-
zexLhip could fully appreciate the
iorce of this comparison it would
rum the tide tif our population back
;o the soil.
Texas has probably suffered less
from the rush of its citizenship from
he farm to the city than any other
State in the Union. While our
cities have shown a rapid increase
]jn population our farms have con
sideraibly. more than held their own.
Our cities have been built up by
immigration, inter-state and foreign,
and have drawn very little from the
'arms.
