QUAINT NEW YEAR CUSTOM.

The ceremony begins with a process

HOus Biblical characters. At its head
walk two priests singing ar old Pro
vencal hymn. When the procession
reaches the center OF the church six
men dressed as Jews of the time of
Christ step forward on one side and
six gentiles ON the other. Two advo
Gates stand between them.
THE Lord is made man." the gen
tiles exclaim.
To this the Jews reply, with scorn
ful demand for proofs. The advocates
then summon the prophets and legis

one the great personages OF the past

more-slowly advance up the aisle and

But the principal figure o. the cere

whose voluminous trappings a chill

To hold a New Years reception la
George and Martha Washington the
drawing room should be arranged to
look like that OF n century ago. Let
holly and mistletoe festoon doors and
arches and be nassed with pine and
hemlock and other evcrcreens knotted
with cherry colored ribbons.
The gowns and headdressas of the
ladies' invited to attend may be copied
from old fashioned prints or reproduc-
lions of portraits of historic bellies
The old brocadcs. the powdered hair
and complexion patches will transform
the appearance of mod Sru hra,lS and
bellies in Il manner truly wonderful.
A few lines penciled on the face will
aid in suggesting the appearance of
the individual whose personality is TO
be represented. Every guest should
be at liberty TO select the character
most pleasing TO himself or herself
OF course this choice should preclude
the characters of Washington and his
wife. which belong to the host and
the hostess. If they have a son and
daughter. Jack and Nelly Gusts should
be represented by their son and daugh
ter.
The mipuet will. OF course. be the
first dance. and II should be led by the
host and hostess in the costumes OF
Washington and his wife. If other
than buffet refreshments are served
the host takes TO the dining room the
most distinguished lady preScnt-that
is, the one whose position in the so
ciety Of the time represented was most
important. The hostess takes the most
distinguished gentleman to the dining
room. The selection. Of course. will
be largely influenced by personal feel
ing.
In the center of the dining room Ia

cities have increased from 80 to
SO per cent; five cities from 80 to
80 per cent; four cities from 70 to
79 per cent; nine cities from 60 to
SO per cent; fifteen cities from so
to SO per cent; fifteen cities from
40 to 49 per cent; twenty-five
cities from 30 to 80 per cent;
thirty cities from 20 to 29 per
cent; twenty-six cities from 10 to
10 per cent, and ten cities under
10 per cent. Of the 159 cities
whose population has been as
certained only three show a de-
crease in the population.
The enormous increase of popu-
lation in these cities, amounting
to over 1900, 600 cannot be ex-
planned in any other way except
that it is the tendency of the
rural population to flock to the
cities. This movement from the
country to the city applies to the
entire nation, for the 159 cities
under consideration by the bu-
reau represent every section of
this country from New England
to the Pacific Coast. 1t cannot
be claimed that this stupendous
increase of urban population is
due to immigration from abroad,
because it is notorious that the
immigration do not proceed to
the smaller cities such as those
embraced in the list of the Gen.
sus Bureau. Nor can it be claim
ed that this increase, averaging
nearly 40 per cent in all the cities,
is due to natural increase, for the
birth rate in none of the cities Of
the list is 40 per cent. It is evil
dent, therefore, that this as
founding increase in the popula-
ton of the smaller towns through
out the country is due to the
steady influx of men and women
from the surrounding territory,
and it follows clearly, therefore,
that as the farms are abandoned
tn cir productive capacity de-
creases, and that, as already
stated, the supply of farm pro-
ducts no longer equaling the con-
stantly increasing demand, the
price Of living must inevitably be
on a constantly ascending scale.

Of Wainwright.
Mr.. Douglas returned to the
city lastevening from Wainwright
having superintended the unload
ing of the consignment of buffalo
received at the park last night.
The buffalo hunt which Alberta
sportsmen will engage in will be
the last to take place in America.
When the thirty five head of out
law bulls have been shot, the re-
naming fifty head, at large on
the Montana plains will be easily
rounded up, All the buffalo in
the world will then be in captiv-
ity, with the exception Of the
wood bison Of the north, which
are under the protection of the
Dominion government and may
not be hunted or killed.

During the past few month the
Canadian half dollars and quarters
have been under suspicion, the
belief being that they were not
genuine, as some Of the coins in
circulation here had the design
stamped upon them just the op-
posite Of the way we were used
to seeing them stamped. The
same question has been raised
elsewhere, and recently a James,
town banker took up the matter
in correspondence with a banker
friend in Canada, who wrote to
the royal Canadian mint at Otta-
wa in regard to the matter and
received a reply which sets all
suspicion of the coins at rest.
The master Of the Canadian mint
states that the coins believed to
be spurious are in fact entirely
genuine coins, and the change in
position of the design on the coins
was made by intention and not
by accident. The change was
made in 1908.

REASON FOR HIGH
COST OF LIVING
Census Figures Give an Expla-
nation. Farms are being
Abandoned for Life in
the Cities

Waghington, Oct. 81. - The
Census Bureau has prepared a
statement Of the population Of
cities ranging from Is, 900 to 100,-
600 population. There are 159
cities in the group whose popula-
tion has been ascertained. The
aggregate population of these 159
cities in 1900 was 5,249, ,681. In
1910 their population had increas-
ed to 1913, 1856, an increase dur
ing the decade, therefore, of g.
046, 205, or 1878 per cent.
It is a confident belief of the
expert statisticians that these
figures furnish an explanation of
the constant increase in the cost
of living, because these figures
indicate the steady trend of the
suburban population to the cities.
1t is clear that as men and wo-
men desert the farms and flock
to the cities, the producing capa-
city of every farm in breadstuffs,
vegetables and breadstuffs n o
longer equals the demand.
The figures f t h e Census
Bureau are convincing. They
apply to the smaller cities stu
ated in the midst Of rural COM
munities, not the great cities of
the country. Thus thirteen of
this class, ranging between 25,-
600 and 100, 600, show an increase
Of 100 per cent or more; four

WILL Be THE LAST
BUFFALO HUNT
Thirty-fve Old Bulls to be
Hunted Down after Many
Efforts Fail to Capture
them Alive

Edmonton, Alta, Oct. 31.-To
engage in the last great buffalo
hunt of the world, a party of fif-
teen sportsmen headed by How
ard Douglas, Dominion commits
sioner of parks, will leave Ed
monton on Thursday morning,
November 8, for the Flathead
hills of Montana, Michael Plabo,
the Mexican owner of the big
herd of 700 buffalo, which has
been transferred to the Dominion
government, weary Of the efforts
to capture alive the thirty-five
tough old outlaw bulls, which
have caused all the trouble and
stampeded the gathering of the
herds, has decided to have them
hunted down. He has greed to
furnish any person wanting a
buffalo with saddle, horses, guide
and all necessary equipment, and
to charge $3.50 for the buffalo.
AS the head alone is worth $500
and the hide $100 more, the offer
of both adventure and profit has
made a strong appeal to sports
men. Howard Douglas has issu-
ed circular setting forth the
particulars of the buffalo hunt
and calling for applications for
the chase. Among those who
have already applied asking for
reservations are Sheriff w. S.:
Robertson and James Ross of:
