Statistics from Washington show
that while wages have advanced
greatly during the past year. the cost
of living has been raised in nearly
the same proportion, so as a net result
to many there has been no gain. To
thousands who have received no SUB
stantial advance in earnings the in
creased cost of living has become a
hardship. We are raising more pro-
ducts of ali kinds than ever before
and there seems to be no reason why
food should be higher, except through
the manipulation of dealers and mid
dlemen who make unreasonable profits.
The farmer is getting better prices TOR
most of his produce. but he does not
by any means get all the profit of the
extra advance. jackson Mich.

Alfalfa is Valuable.

A statute should be raised to hon
or the man who introduced alfalfa to
the western farmers. says the Pueblo
Chieftaip. 1t is becoming one of the
most valuable crops he produces, not
only because Of its high price but for
the reason that it is almost sure
crop under all conditions
A few years ago people from the
region OF Colorado would examine a
piece of alfalfa as if it were curios-
ity, and it was to them. Riding
along the Santa Fe road now one sees
vast fields of-the hay extending clear
down as far east as Emporia and : per-
haps further east. 1t is usually grow
ing on land that WAS not considered
good for much few years ago.
The value of crop Of is not alone
seed Farmers who raise the alfalfa
seed find it quiet as profitable as rails
ing hay. The second crop of the
summer is generally used for seed.
The seed brings 81 and $s bushel,
and If farmer can get four to five
bushels off al acre, along with the
first crop of hay, it beats raising
wheat at 20 bushels an acre and so
cents "A bushel.
A new use has been found for alfal-
ia seed that it appears will keep the
price up for some time even if its
cultivation should become more ex-
tensive. The agent of German fac
tory has visited Kansas City and
bought up all the seed that he could
find. paying $3.50 bushel. The
Germans use it for coloring and dye
ing purposes. Formerly clover seed
was used for this purpose, but alfalfa
seed has been found superior.

SOCIAL TOPICS, NO. 3.
SEX. o. o. WRIGHT.

To most people the census reports are not attractive reading; but to those who have genius for numbers, relations and conditions, the stories which may be found in statistics are instructive, romantic and suggestive of the most profound topics of social science.
 The work of the statistician is really the basis of political economy; and the guide to sound legislation. Society depends upon who the people are, and what the relations and conditions of their life may be.
 The whole number of inhabitants enumerated, in 1900, was 7o, 3O3, 3S7, of which 39, O59, PAP are males, and 37, 244,- 145 are females: 1,815.O9 males in ex- cess of females. In other words the males constitute 51.2 per cent of the entire population and the females 48e 8 per cent.
 As a whole, the increase of the. num- Der of females has been slightly great CT than that of the males, between 1890 and 1900; that of the males being 20.9 per cent; and that of the females 21.1 per cent.
 It has often been asserted by writers on social subjects that taking the world at large the numbers of males and females born are in general about equal. This is an argument against polygamy. One man and one woman is the Christian ideal of marriage. Now it is interesting to note the va riatiOns in the percentage of males and females in different states and territories according to the conditions, and accidents of life.
 In all the states and territories but II the males exceed the females. In Noxr Hor,nchirn SQ0 females than males; in Rhode Island 7,524; New Jersey, 149; Maryland, 9,494; Virginia, 2,39O; Georgia, 9,929: ESouth Carolina, 10, 526; North Carolina, lo,456; District of Columbia, 14,710: New York, 39, 9,334; and Massachusetts, 7O,39s.
 There is an excess of males in Maine, Vermont, Connecticut and Pennsylva- mia, amounting in these four states to a total of 12l ,294. There is large ex- cess of males in West Virginia and Florida; also in Alaska and Hawaii. In Connecticut the males exceed the females by only 16S. In Montana there are 56,355 more males thar l females.
 Horace Greeley said: "Go West, young man." we might well say: "Gt l West, young woman.' If MaSSachu setts could even up with Mortar ant a fair exchange could be made al round, the next census would tell { different story, in several particulars
 The excess of males in general is at
 tributed to immigration. Betweel
 1850 and 1900, 5000, ,OO0 of immigrants
 came here, and three-tifths of then
 were males.
 The excess of females in the A Atlanti
 states is largely due to migration Q the males to the West; but partly t the immigration of females to he en ployed in factories and as domesti servants.
 Naturally, many questions ot- vita
 importance to the country at large ar involved in the conditions revealed 5 these social statistics.

A fair number of taxpayers gathered
 at the Beach Memorial Library build ing, Saturday night, to talk over the question of making it a free town n- brary. Rev J. Fl. George, as chairman of the committee appointed by the 1 Library association to investigate the question, presided and told of the necessary steps to be taken. If the town appropriated S2O0, the state
 would give S1OO year for new books. The control of the Association proper ty could be vested in a board of trus- tees, to be made representative of the whole town, 15 or 20 in number, pro- vided the Library Association so vote. plea against the movement. He thought the taxpayers were already burdened with taxation and that some
 thing should be done to relieve their
 burdens rather than add to them. He
 spoke of 19 widows in town who were
 paying taxes and to add burdens of this kind was taxation without repre-
 sentation. He thought to increase the
 taxes would result in driving people out of town. D. G. Beers replied that he believed more people had been driv-
 en out of town because of the lack of
 educational advantages rather than
 because of over-taxation, which posi-
 tion was heartily applauded. A vote
 was passed to the effect that the senti-
 ment of the meeting was in favor of
 making it free library. Rev o. o.
 Wright was present and told of the
 work of starting the library in Sandy
 Hook and of his efforts in starting a
 library in Swansea, Mass, which has
 since been made free town library
 with distributing stations. If the
 town should pass a vote to make the
 Beach Memorial Library free library
 it is proposed to have distributing sta
 tions at Sandy Hook, Botsford and
 HaWleyville, so that the splendid treasures stored in the Beach Memo
 rial Library building would be placed
 at the disposal of every citizen in town.

VALENTINES, CHILDREN AND SUP
 PER.

THE VESTRY OF THE CONGREGATION
 AL CHURCH IS TO BE OPEN AT 3
 O'CLOCK THIS SATURDAY AFTER
 NOON, FEBRUARY ', FOR THE SALE
 OF VALENTINES, ICE CREAM, CANDY
 AND CAKE.
 Those are three things that go to- gether- valentines, children and sup per, something like faith, hope and charity. They make a pretty good company and form a right jolly con- bination. This Valentine sale and supper, which the Congregational En- deavorers are to hold in their vestry on Saturday afternoon of this week, February !, is what you may call the mid-winter turnout of the children; and that is the best part of it, they do turn out, whether (weather) or no. Saint Valentine was a good man who gained great reputation by doing good deeds; and it certainly is good deed to send pretty love-taken to a friend. Let us all follow the good ex- ample set us by the saint. At three o'clock this sale opens, and then you can buy valentines, ice cream, home made candy, lOaveS of cake and dough nuts. We have been asked already to set aside a few dozen of the dough- nuts; but if you only come early, you l will get some too. At 5 o'clock sup per is served and then on until only the plates are left, which you can not very well eat, can you? Well, it is not going to be all selling; we are not quite so mercenary as that. The room is to be prettily decorated with streamers of showy colors and then we are going to meet each other socially and have 8 good chat. Now there is nothing left but to make this sale splendid sue cess; and as "nothing is so successful as success" and this February gather ing has with each succeeding yea been an increasing success, let us hope that the realization of our hopes il here. The proceeds go toward deco rating the interior of the church, s let us all ''lend a hand"
