Found a Pot of Coins.

On the old Rupert homestead, just
west of Argentine, Kan, was found n pot
of gold Saturday, and by actual count the
pot contained S, 900 in coins ranging from
sl up to $50. John Rupert and james Hal
!oway were cxcavating for barn founda-
ton on the site Of au old stable. Rupert's
pick struck something hard, and fewmo-
ments work disclosed an iron pot with
about five gallons capacity, and covered
with an iron lid. When the lid was finally
snocked of a shining heap of gold was re
gealed. These were coins OF various
ralucs, many of them of dates preceding
the Mexican war, and none of them later
.han 1854. Rupert ana Holloway counted
up their wealth and found nearly s. 900. 1t
Is believed that tho pot of gold was buried

Ter times Just preceding heopcnlng Of tho

anything but happy. He or she looks
as If lie had but one object and that
was to keep from breaking his or her

the lips are brought together in a firm,
determined line, the features all have
set, strained look that are in perfect

THE NEW CENSUS.
The United States Boasts Population
of 62,4SO, $40, an Increase of
-i2, 324,757 in Ten

A bulletin issued by the census bu-
reau says that the population of the
United States in June, 1920, as shown by
the first count, exclusive of whites In the
Indian Territory, Indians on reservations
and in Alaska, IS O., ,4so,540. These figures
may be slightly changed by later computa-
tions. In 1850 the population was 90, loo,-
7e3, absolute increase in ten years Of l2,-
324, 75f; percentage of increase, 24.57. In
1870 the population was stated as s., s,55S,S1l.
According to these figures the absolute
increase betwecsi 1870 and lSs0 was IL, os1,-
412, the percentage of increase being S0,0s.
Upon the face these figures show that the
population has increased 1850 and 1880 only
T21,3i5 more than between 1870 and 1850,
while the rate of increase apparently di
minishes from 80. 0S to 2i.51 per cent. III
these figures were derived from correct
data, they would indeed be disappointing.
Such reduction, in the face of the enof-
nous immigration during the past ten
years, would argue a great dimunition in
thh fecundity of population, or CORES
ponding increase in the death rate. These
figures, however, are easily explained,
when the character Of the data used is un-
derstood 1t is well known fact, having
been demonstrated by extensive and thor
ough investigation, that the census Of
$50 was grossly deficient in the Southern
States, so much so as not only to give an
exaggerated rate of increase Of population
between 1870 and 1850 in these States, but
to effect very materially the rate of in
crease in the country at large.
The following table shows the popula-
ton of the several States us found bY the
census enumeration of the years 1880 and
1850.

BRAIN labor is of such various kinds
and degrees of utility or uselessness
that it is misleading TO lump them all
in the same category. There are brain
workers whose services are of immease
value to mankind. such as sl1illfuI ply
sicians, great engineers and real states
men. To such men society owes a debt
OF gratitude for their labors Then
there are the mass of those whose ad-
ministrative and organizing capacities
are essential to the ordinary work of
the world, whether as employers, or
public servants, or salaried employees.
The utility OF all this class of labor, is
likewise freely admitted. But what is
too often lost sight OF by those who
bring the charge OF ignoring brain
labor against US is that a very large
proporisea OF the BRAN work for which
SO much is claimed is either absolutely
useless or positively injurious. Under
this head We may include the labor Of
stock brokers, real-estate sspeculators,
gamblers, burglars and the like, with
out exception. as well as nine-tenths
Of the ''work" OF politicians, editors,
lawyers. bankers and so-callei public
instructors. These men work hard in
their way. They urs not idlers. but
