What We Need.

The census reports are already
proving a disappointment as regards
the rural population in some of the
counties of the middle-west. There is
an actual, decrease in population
due. in large: measure, to the in
creased size OF farms. This nec"s-
sarily means fewer farms and con-
sequently' fewer families, and that
in everyway is misfortune. The
freehold v, farmer, known in olden
times as the yoeman, lis more per-,
haps than any other person the back
bone OF the community. and there
fore any decrease in this class can
not fail to be injurious to the best
interests OF the country. Rather
should there be more and smaller
farms more thoroughly cultivated
and forming the happy homes Of
sturdy, independent freeholders. We
need them more than we need lit
tie towns and cities. In fact We
could prosper without them, hit if
you wipe ont the farms we are DOOM
ed, as the farmer is the back bone
Of the whole country Therefore,
the populations Of the town do not
worry US. What we need is we'll
to-do thrifty farmers. who own their
own farms and are making money.

leisurely, stopping at every impor-
tant town on her route. She will he
unaccompanied, save for a wonman
companion. Miss Scott is an ANA
teur driver, who possesses only a
fair knowledge OF automobiles. But
she has unbounded faith in her Ov-
erland and is determined to accom-
plish the trip. Her determination,
together with the ideal car. will
carry her through successfully.
THE CAR.
The car is a regular stock model
38, $1,000 Overland. A large lug
gage box on the rear deck and a
couple of spare tires form the only
extra equipment. Aside from these
points the car is exactly the same as
any other Model 3S Overland. You
can buy it's duplicate here for the
same price.

A Great Empire.

The number of states in the union
is now an even four dozen, and at
that figure it will probably remain
for many day as there is no longer
any territory in the continental Unit
ed States.
With the admission of Arizona
and New Mexico one realizes what a
mighty empire this nation has be-
come since the original thirteen col
onies broke with England. While
the principle OF 'ederation on much
-.:a sar:e basis ias prevails in this
,ountry is now followed by Austral-
la, Canada, and South Africa, yet
nowhere else is it seen on so large
a scale or inclusive of such diver
sity Of interests.
The diversity Is not only climatic,
commercial and industrial, but po-
litical also. Much Of the political d.
versity is, of course, due tc geo.
graphical causes and the vast range
in natural resources and produc-
tions. Because Of this the view TAX
en- by the wheat grower Of the north
west, the cotton planter'iof the south,
the miner of the mountain states, the
corn grower of the middfs-west. and
the manufacturing element in the
east is liable GA some questions tc
lie very different.
Then, too. the larger number oi
states the more complex becomes the
relation of states to each other and
to the federal government. Very
fortunately the American people arc
level headed, broad of view and tol,
Grant of spirit, and all this with wise
craftsmanship and the firm, equable
principle upon which our politica
system is based will enable every pro-
blem of government to be met and
solved in a spirit OF fairness and
justice. In so doing America will, as
in the past, lie a beacon light fol-
other nations to follow in the. ,politi'
cal changes through which they may
be called to paas.

France on. the Decline.

:. r.
Over in France the steady decline
in the birth rate is at last causing
serious concern. With the popula-
tion of Germany increasing by leaps
and bounds, while that of France
remains stationary the outlook is not
promising. The French government
now proposes TO tax bachelors, give
bounties for large families and COM
pei all unmarried employees Of the
state over twenty-five years OF age
to marry. 1t IS to be hoped that
the desired effect may be realized.
1t is singular fact that although
France has SO low a birth rate the
French in Canada are remarkable
for their fecuIdity and large fam
lilies. Many OF these French: Cana
dians with their large families have
moved down into New England,
where, like France, the birth rate is
very low, and at no distant day they
will rule that once proud section of.
our country.
No country can prosper whose
birth rate is low, and the experiment
to increase the births. in France will
be watched with interest by ali the
civilized countries in the world. IF
it fails. France is doomed, as sooner
or later she will be oyerrun and con-
Quered by SONS more prolific nation.
The French, like the New England
ers. are in many irespects great
people. but they cannot survive the
destruction of the home any: more
than New England can.
