Some Lessons of the Census Returns Municipalities from the Atlantic to the Paci fie are rejoicing these days over the census re

turns that show how they have grown in population in the "last decade. With pardonable pride they point to the thousands who have been added to their population and with great acclaim they proclaim themselves inhabitants of no mean city. All of which is fit and proper. Why not? Who would be so lukewarm in his parochial loyalty as not to rejoice when thousands elect his city as a residence place ? But let's look at another side of the census returns. Population returns, released so far by the

census bureau, signify in unmistakable terms that people are flocking to the cities in increasingly large numbers. , They are forsaking rural communities, small towns, farm homes, to reside in the congested quarters of big industrial and commercial centers. Why? Because the cities are enticing them from the agricultural districts by the promise of greater pay for shorter hours. That explains the movement cityward. What is its effect? Sons and daughters of farmers, hired laborers on the farms, refusing to work long hours in the agricultural industry, desert the farmstead for the factory ; the inexorable result being that the volume of farm products either will be reduced, because the farmer lacks workers to till his fields, or the agriculturist will till only as many acres as he can himself cultivate. With a reduction in the acreage and in the volume of farm products will come still further increases in the

price of foodstuffs. We cannot escape this con

clusion. -

For yeaA we have been watching the increase

of our population in the cities, but have been

blind to the decrease in the production of our

foodstuffs. If the cities, by the allurement of shorter hours keep on exhausting the labor supply of farms, the day is not far distant when the agriculturists, even with the highest kind of intensive farming, will be unable to supply the cities with as much bread as their workers need. The census returns, even in their incomplete state, show that we are ranidly approaching a

crisis. Either we must recognize the vital importance of agriculture in our national economy and make it possible for the farmer to pay hi3

workers wages commensurate with those received in the industries, or we must be prepared to face a still greater decrease in foodstuffs and a consequent increase in their prices. So long as the population of our cities keep on increasing three and four times as rapidly as in the country, and millions persist in deserting the farm for the city, the demand for foodstuffs will

increase and the ability of our farmers to produce enough food decrease. This tendency must terminate in food prices that will be almost prohibitive.

The farmer has sensed all along that something was wrong. Now he realizes where the difficulty lies. The city dwellers have been reducing their hours of work for a long period. This has manifested itself in the increased prices which the farmer must pay for the machinery and supplies he needs, and also in the higher wages he must pay in competition with the industries in the cities. He has come to the conclusion : If the urbanite intends to work less, he cannot reasonably expect the farmer to keep on working longer hours in order that he might enjoy the products of the farm at the same old price. And so the farmer, driven both by the logic of the situation and his inability to keeep workers in the country, cultivates less acres. As the farmer tills less acres, the collective yield of the American farms naturally becomes

less. But the demand for the

keeps on growing; hence, high prices now, and still higher ones in the immediate future.

E. P. Were the Zeppelins a military failure? Information reaching Washington is that they were of high military value in their raids on London and other English towns. The raids, it is said, had the effect of keeping troops, estimated at about 200,000 men in England to fight Zeppelins. Hundreds of guns were held in England to repel the raiders. SA.11 munition plants, steel plants, etc, stopped work when the Zeppelin raiders approached. This meant a temporary stoppage of munition production.

Today's Talk By Georgs Matthew Adams

SOUL Soul is a great deal like many other mysterious forces in this wonderful world like electricity for instance, which we never see, but which we know exists, because we see its power. Soul is the unseen pure-best that is in us all. Soul is that which we try to talk about when we express In terms of the infinite. It is the eternal in us that is always evident, tho never fully understood. We know that we are Immortal just the minute that we know that we have i .. i. -.I it that mnmpnt. also.

we strive for development ana acnieement against every foreign force. With soul we may pass thru change, but our life is forever! Soul is somehing more, too. It is spirit birth. So -that while all may' have souls, not everyone has soul. There is a difference. It lies in development. Judas had a soul Lincoln had soul. The grandeur of the world shines out and makes all existence splendid, because of the soul that human beings are all the time manifesting. Those whom I love, have soul. They light up life for me. It is because ot the evidence of soul, in places where we least expect it, that wo are led along and have no fear. Our task in the everyday becomes very simple indeed if we early recognize that the body has its work frought with great dangers and failure. But if we have soul, we know neither days nor nights, but tread an even way, happy in the knowledge that we are journeying toward an eternal Dawn!

who said in a sanctimonious tone one evening to his wife: " 'How happy I am this evening, dear! I have done three good deeds today.' " 'What were they?' said the wife. " 'On the way to business,' said he, 'I saw a young woman weeping on a church step with a baby on her knee. I asked her what the trouble was and she said she had walked seven miles to have, her baby christened and now found she had lost her money on the way. " 'I told her to cheer up, handed her a five-dollar bill and bade her have the child christened and bring me the change. She did so she did so gratefully and thus my dear, I did three good deeds. I performed, first, an act of charity; I started, second, a little child on the way it should go, and I

got, third, four dollars for a bad five spot.' " She was one of those large stout women, and she was dancing with ono of those small thin men. At last, after struggling several times round the room, she said, "Shall we reverse?" "Yes," he replied. "Now you have a turn at holding me up!"
