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,

with the well-known tendency of
women to change their minds. It may
be better Imagined than described
how this multitude of uncertain vot

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 human being Is a peculiar crea

cate. Most of these gentlemen wear

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

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

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.

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
