CENSUS SHOWS GREAT DRIFT
TO THE CITIES.

TO THE CITIES.
The drift from the country to the
cities has never been 50 marked as dur
ing the past ten years, and this is clearly
shown by the census returns already
made public. Not SO many years ago,
known as an agricultural country dotted
with settlements, and peopled by
pioneers, the United States has reached
Il apcpulation of more than ninety mil
lions and possesses a greater number of
large cities than any other nation in
the history of the world. Though thou
sands Of miles of its territory are still
unsettled and there is still enough land
to provide for all the millions in Europe,
the population in some sections has be-
come as dense as in the Old World.
New York far exceeds in population
any city except London, and Chicago
ranks with Paris and Berlin, while
Philadelphia, Boston, st. Louis, Balti-
more, Cleveland, and Pittsburg stand
high in the worlds list. Phe growth
Of such cities as Detroit, Seattle, Port
land and Los Angeles has been surpris
ing. The South, which has had but
few cities, now claims "a number in the
''more than one hundred thousand
class. Richmond, Atlanta, Birming-
ham, Memphis, New Orleans and
Louisville are given this rank by the
census returns, while the Norfolk and
Portsmouth district deserves IA place in
the same class.
Director Durand announces that there
are forty nine American cities with
more than 100, 600 inhabitants within
their corporate limits. Practically every
large town shows a gratifying growth,
while the country districts have had
less than their normal increase in popu-
lation. In spite of an increase OF
l,644, 4S6 in New York State, its rural
counties show an increase of but little
more than 100, 600. Agricultural States
show IA very small percentage of growth,
while one of them, Iowa, has actually
decreased in population since 1900,
probably due to the exodus of farmers
to Canada, and the new farming, sec
tions of Oklahoma and the West.
Immigrants continue to pour in at the
rate Of almost million year, bu
nearly all of them settle in the cities ol
manufacturing districts, thereby adding
to their already overcrowded population
while there is a continual complaint o
the scarcity of labor on the farms Ii
this country there is no reason VIII,
any able bodied man should ever Q,
hungry or in rags. There is more thai
enough work for all. The fault is il
the unequal distribution of the popula
tion. If the ''landless man and tn
"manless land can ever be brough
together, the problem will be solved
Yet tits by no means simple problem
and until it is solved we shall still hav

coMpANroNsHrp.

Much has been written on the subject
of truth, love and duty; suggestions to
mothers. methods of housekeeping and
home making. and many other subjects,
helpful inspiring all of them; but it is
the greatest hero Of every day life-the
provider of the home, and the protector
Of the fireside-the husband and father,
we wish to say a word of praise and
for his benefit offer few suggestions to
the wife. With what unselfsh devo-
ton he labors to secure for you tho
comforts, luxuries and pleasures of life!
Whether it is in the shop. behind
the counter, in the office, at the factory
in the mill, or on the farm, it is with
one purpose in view-he works, strives
and slaves, patiently, uncomplainingly,
year in, and year out, for the comfort
and happiness of those he loves-wife
and children. The man who for their
sakes faces combination of discourage
ing circumstances, distressing financial
difficulties, numberless failures, and
keeps steadfastly at his post. defying
them all, is hero and nothing else.
We meet them every day. Such as
they are, and doubtless will continue to
be as long as there is a home worthy of
protection, child worthy of care, and
a woman worthy OF love.
And now, little woman, word with
you. If some manly man has chosen
you to reign queen in his heart and
home, know that in that capacity you
fill the most sacred, the most honorable
position to which woman can aspire.
In it you appear in your most sacred
and dignified character. ''Io be able
to reinforce your husband in the battle
of life, and rear your children for po-
sitions of usefulness is a work worthy
of your most careful and prayerful con-
sideration
There are many ways in which you
can tighten his labor and strengthen
his hands and gladden. his heart. For
this purpose you were created to be his
''help meet, (the comforting, minister
ing guardian angel of man), but in no
way more effectively than by studying
to make yourself the intelligent, inter
ested and sympathetic companion OF your
husband The power and influence of
the wife in identifying and blessing or
blighling and cursing the life and pros
perity of the husband can hardly be esti-
mated. One thing is certain. No man
succeeds 50 well in life as he who has
in life partner sharer in all his pur-
poses and hopes counsellor in every
difficulty, and a sympathizer in every
sorrow. Then see that nothing prevents
you giving him your sweetest smiles, and
your kindest words. They are worth
more he cares more for them-than
all of the gold that he can earn.
Arrange your household affairs so
that you can spend the evenings in pleas
ant companionship with him, and you
will be amply compensated for any sac
rifce that you will have to make. With
all Of our heart we believe that proper
understanding of the term companion-
ship as applied to the welded state
would have saved many a home from
ruin and kept the pure and holy fame
Of love from dying out in many a hear
and besides many hearthstones. Agar

Before a crowd Of 2S, 900 persons,
the Navy defeated the Army at football

the victory but the game tied the series

street intersections between the T. & P.
crossing and the county road, in the ex-
tension of Magoffin avenue. said this
morning: Personally l am opposed to

100000 for road improvements and the
greater part CT this was paid for by the
citizens of the city. Now the county
appropriates $500 for the extension of
this street and expects US to pay the
balance.

business houses request street intersec-

does not and should not be expected to
Improve streets for the purpose of
