Animal products have been steadily losing ground In their relative value to other agricultural exports from the United States since 1S0CL In that year they formed 211.8 per cent of the to tal, and, by five-year averages, fell to 16.9 per cent In 1909-1913. The war. with Its demand for animal fat and meat, brought the percentage up to 29.4— almost double what It had bceM in the preceding five years. The high est percentage, 38.0. was reached In 1918-19. Imports of animal products, on the other hand, Increased In rela tlon to other agricultural imports, ris ing from 27.5 per cent In 1894-1898, to 39.1 per cent In 1914-1918. Accord ing to estimates of the bureau of crop estimates, United States department of agriculture animal products totaled 37.6 per cent of farm products dur ing the five years before the war, as compared with 36 per cent during the preceding five yea^s. During the war It declined to 34.3 per cent. The recent advance In the price of cigars means more wages for work ers, a considerable Increase In the profits o f manufacturers, more taxes for the government-, and a very slight addition In the margin of profit for tlie retailer. Not one of these con cerned has any reason to feel ag grieved. but the consumer, who must feed them all. may show his acqules- ence or his disgust in the extent of hia purchases. - There will be about seventeen mil lion women qualified to vote In the coming presidential election, and with the well-known tendency of women to change their minds. It may be better Imagined than described how this multitude of uncertain vot era is going to keep the party manag ers In agonized guessing. The people hardly needed to be told that the lowering, of prices was not due to patriotism on the part of mer chants. In this case patriotism Is the sgme kind of forced virtue as was the resignation of the famous old lady who was resigned to die because she had to be. The chemists now say that the high cost of living will be cut by chemical Inventions; hut that wlll-be-cut stuff, although we’ve had lots of dif ferent kinds of It, hasn’t got us any where. What we need Is some bas- heen-cut stuff. The human being Is a peculiar crea ture, as this overall craze would Indi cate. Most of these gentlemen wear ing them to “save clothes" don trou sers first and |hen go out and spend money for overalls to wear over them. Another proof that there Is plenty of norse sense In the rural districts Is that the country girl doesn’t wear silk dresses and lace stockings while she works In the field, but the town girl would wear such things In a laundry. There are some people In the world who will probably not stop to drop tear over the famous Spanish torea dor who was kitted In a bull fight after he had killed his fifth bull. — Cessas Retaras Shaw Growth Now the ex-czar of Russia and his family ars reported to be alive and In hiding In Japan.

These add hundreds of upon the world. af thousands to the number of Blhles and Testaments Issued every year. Manufacturers of shoes are actual ly becoming alarmed over the slump In business and are really and truly considering a reduction In prices for fall. If the consumer will stick to bis Iasi he will have less to kick nt and more to kick with. ^ ¡ f iM M a Be Sure Your Repairs are Properly Executed Tlie census Bureau, on the strength of registered returns, gives figures to show that the birth rate to the United States exceeds the death rate by ooe- thlrd, which Is a gratifying fa c t We are not one of the nations that need be anxious on this vital point as far as the present conditions are con cerned. One of the most serious trou bles In France Is the warning In Its censuses that la some years more of Its Inhabitants die than are born. Some of Its neighbors grow much fast er In population. This disparity was somewhat noticed In the past, yet with out fully realizing the terrible men ace Involved. The desolate towns and farms of France are a monument to the old census admonitions and the awful sacrifice of young French man hood Is far more dreadful than the devastation, says St. Louts Glol»e Democrat Often have the public men of France sounded an alarm on the defective birth rate. It Is much dis cussed now by thoughtful French leg islators and writers. A census always demands Intelligent study. The United Stntes grows by immigration as well as births, snd our school system tends to Americanize the whole body of citi zenship. Our schools are a great melting pot fot; Americans of the fu ture and to Increase their proportion ate number. The welfare of children la a great national Issue. The birth rate and death rate need continued at tention. World’» Best Seller New York has an average of a fire every twenty-one minutes, which prob ably represents the proportionate av erage In every large ‘city. As fire Is the moat preventable of all disasters this amount Is a severe Indictment of the public carelessness and thought lessness. It shows the new science of fire prevention to be badly needed. 4H I f Is not true that tinder our eco nomic and social system "the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer." On the contrary, the diffusion of wealth has been going on apace; the trend of things, within the past 20 years hss been greatly toward dimin ishing the difference In the standard and- general way of living between the various categories of our population. And our wealthiest men are not those who Inherited their possessions, but those who started at the bottom of the ladder. The eternal law of compensa tion works In mysterious ways, writes Otto H. Kahn In Leslie’s. I t la un questionably a fact that It Is not the children of the rich to whom life yields the greatest measure of Joy and satisfaction and reward.
