Of the world at the opening OF 10Th
century as the average population per

"The usual estimate OF the number
of men lost in the wars in 10Th cen
tury, including those who died of
wounds and diseases, places it at a.
100000. OF this number the Napol-
comic campaigns are responsible for
about six million. Losses in the
American Civil War have been var
iously estimated at from 10000 to
100000 men. The brief war between
Prussia, Austria and Italy in 1866 en-
tailed loss of 4s,0O0 men,"

THE FARMERS PROSPERITY

The remarkable progress in power of production in the agricultural world was uniquely summed up by the president of the National Farm CTS Congress, MT. John Stahl, in opening his address at the last annual convention at Rock Island, when he said:
 I congratulate you, as representa- tiyes of the United States, on ma terial prosperity. To the nations production the farmers of the United States this year contributed six bill lion dollars.
 We hear much of the Standard Oil Company, ard it's wealth. but our annual exports-not production, but export-of cotton alone has a value four times as great as all the petro leum produced in the United States in year.
 From the attention given disturb anees in coal mining one might con sider that coal is very important production in this country.
 But year after year the farm prod uets of the United States have on the farm d value more than sixteen times the value at the mine of all the coal dug in the United States.
 We have become the greatest pig iron producing country in the world, yet each year the grain of one crop corn has value five times greater than all the pig-iron produced in this country.
 "Nvhy, the corn grown each year by the farmers of Illinois alone, has a value about equal to our entire pro. duction of pigiron.
 Every time our miners dig a dollar from our gold mines, we farmers dig $70 dollars from the ground, and every time our miners dig dollar of silver from our mines, we dig s165 from the ground
 "The farm products of the United States have value more than twelve times greater than all the gold and silver mined in all the world.
 With their products of one year only, the farmers of this country could buy at par all the stock of all the national banks of the entire coun- try, not once or twice, but eight times over, and they could pay all the wages and salaries in our great iron and steel industries thirty-four times and have money left.
 During the past sixteen years our exports of all articles have exceeded our imports by $5,092, 100000 In the same period our exports of farm products exceeded our imports of farm products by s5,635 100000.
 "The farmer is responsible for our enormous favorable balance in inter- national trade
 'In all the world no other class in any country produces as much wealth as the farmers of the United States"

RURAL SCHOOLS

After the pilgrim fathers had land ed in 1920, the very first act of the English colonists was to establish high school, but these were for very few people. In 163G Harvard was founded, and soon after that Yale and Princeton. About 150 or 160 years after that Thomas Jefferson, who was the father of the country school sys- tenn; Washington, the great promoter, and Alexander Hamilton, the great teacher, gave time and thought 10 this cause, and made 1t possible for education to reach the masses ot 'he people. Washington said: Lay broad and deep, then, the foundation of the general diffusion of knowledge" The old method of teaching is pretty near ly eliminated The education of to- day has come to our homes through the rural schools. Very often the rural school children do not go to high school or to college; therefore, We must give our rural school child ren every advantage.
 We believe that the country schools are doing great work, but we must add domestic science and agriculture. Good results will come then through the little school house in the country, and it will bring sunshine, prosperity and good citizenship into the future homes of these children.

In the case OF the negroes and
the whites, the races should be kept
apart IN every respect. The South
has wise polly. l believe that
Booker r. Washington has the right
ideals and that Dubois is injurlng
the progress of hfs race with his
views"
This statement recently emanat-
ing from eX-President Eliot, OF Har-
ward University, serves to strongly
illustrate the wholecome change in
public opinion that has for years
been taking place in the North. Pres
ident Eliot has just severed his con-
nection with a great American uni
versity which does not exclude ne
gro students. He has thus come in
contact with the highest type OF
negro and observes HIM as he shared
status of nominal equality with the
whites. That as result, he ahould
come out strongly for the race sep
aration policy "in every respect"
represents an especially significant
fact.
