est census figures in civilized countries
and OF accepted estimates for countries
where there are no census statistics.
Twenty-Five years ago the estimates
for half explored regions were Uniform
ly too high. They are now based on in
formation, and are more reliable. In
the meantime, more care has been
taken in the collection Of population
statistics in Europe and America, and
comparisons are possible to show the
actual changes for better or worse.

We will have to again tell some OF
our subscribers the STORY Of the farmer
and the wheat and it has q moral.
Once there was q farmer who was lucky
and raised some 1000 bushels Of wheat.
He lived up near Blue Hill where they
were blessed with rain. Down in the
southern portion they had no rain and
so had no wheat. But this man who
raised the wheat was a kind hearted
and obliging cuss and he let his IN.
lucky neighbors have from one to i've
bushels, until some 1000 bushels was
gone, telling them they could pay it
back a, the same price, 81 per bushel,
which 1t was then selling for. The
next yearthe farmers in the south part
raised good crops and plenty OF wheat,
but The generous farmer lost his wheat
hy chinch bugs and dry weather. The
men who had borrowed the wheat did
net know of his i'll luck, but some few
who always made it a point to look after
their Obligations both great and small
went and paid their due. Many for
| got about the small matter and others
knowing that they only owed "A dollar
nrtvo kept putting it of until some
favorable opportunity came and this
man was in sore distress for money
when if they had all paid he would
have had $1,000. The newspaper man
is in many respects like the generous
farmer, he has a thousand or fifteen
hundred dollars out in sums from
80 cents to S. aud the subscribers think
the amount owed is small and makes
no difference. 1t is up to them to
point a moral to this story.
