The Country Boys Creed
BY EDWIN osGooD GROVER

believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than
the city which man made; that life
out-of-doors and in touch with the
earth is the natural life of man. /
believe that work with nature is
more inspiring than work with the
most intricate machinery.
believe that the dignity of labor
depends not upon what you do,
but on how you do it; that oppor-
tunity comes to boy on the farm
as often as to boy in the city, that
life is larger and freer and happier
on the farm than in the town, that
my success depends not upon my
location, but upon myself; not upon
my dreams, but what l actually do;
not upon luck but upon pluck.
l believe in working when you
work and playing when you play
and in giving and deman ding a
square deal in every act of life.

dirks. Only last week one of them
killed a policeman who was trying
to pull him in for his lawlessness,
in this city,.
Recently the Civil War veterans
held their state encampment in the
city of Pro violence. Seeing these
500 old boys together we noticed a
striking contrast between them and
the people one meets on the street.
The veterans were all Americans,
Yankees, or men who had inmi-
grated from the British Islands, re-
minding us what the people were
here fifty years ago.
In 1850 eighty-four per cent of
the inhabitants of this state were
born in the United States. In 1905
only forty-nine per cent of the in
habitants were natives. l suppose
in the enumeration of the resident
people as regards nativity, all who
are born in this country are consid-
cred natives, although their parents
came from foreign country.
Nearly all Of the immigrants from
Italy and Portugal are Catholics, as
are most the Canadian French, of
which there are some $4,000 in the
state. The Catholics claim that
Isl 900 of their faith reside in this
state, nearly one-half of the whole
population. There are many Jews
here, living mostly in the cities and
larger villages. They are of sever
al nationalities, but mostly from
Russia. E. s. R.

FILM SHOW TO AID
HEALTH CRUSADE

The most ambitious educational
feature of the Wisconsin Anti-Tu-
berculosis association work was
inaugurated this week at Madison,
when a moving picture show of
three high class films was produced
in the capital city.
This exhibition will tour the
state, coming the first week in May
to Milwaukee for thirty performan-
ces. Then will follow exhibitions in
various cities in the state. 1t
is believed by officers of the associ-
alton that more people will be reach
ed, and more facts relative to the
spread of the disease and methods
of prevention will be disseminated
than by any other feature of the as
sociation's work.
While the three films that COM
prise the exhibition deal with dis
ease, it's result and means by which
it is spread, they are as entertain
ing as any purely amusement films
seen in the motion picture theatres.
In the RED Cross Seal" for in
stance, humor, pathos, and ten
der love theme are mingled in such
a way that, while half the audience
generally is left in tears at the con-
clusion, the morbid story of the
play does not leave depressing
feeling.
In addition to the Red Cross
Seal" which has been the most sue
cessful of its kind ever produced,
there will be 1.-THE Wedding Bell,
latest of educational films and one
which has just made a big hit in
New York and other cities of the
east, and THE Man Who Learned"
based on impure milk and its far
reaching results.
After each film there will be a
short talk by the association's gen
eral lecturer, DR.. Harvey Dee
Brown, descriptive of the film and
also dealing briefly with the ques-
ton of disease, how it is spread
and how to prevent it.
The success of the films in Mad
| ison, where a series of six exhibi.
tons was begun on April 26, has
been wonderful, and it is believed
that results of the state tour will
far exceed the expectations of off
GERS of the association when they
planned the tour. Many comments
were heard after the shows that the
films were as entertaining as those
in the motion picture houses. No
charge is made to the exhibitions.
The films were loaned to the Wis
consin Anti Tuberculosis associa-
ton by Edison Manufacturing com
pany. Mrs. Thomas A Edison
wife of the inventor, planned the
famous "Red Cross Seal"
The Extension Division of the
University of Wisconsin is cooper
ating in this enterprise and will
watch it's operation to determine
the possibilities of this new educa-
tional experiment, which may prove
to be the long-sought royal road
to learning.

FROM DOWN EAST

| One OF the most remarkable sur
prises that confronts one is in the
population of New England, COM
pairing the inhabitants of the pres
ent time with the people of fifty
years ago-as to nativity. The old
colonial race stock was English,
Scotch and Irish. Now, it is
state that the old stock, unmixed,
numbers but tenth of the popula-
ton. Rhode Island has the largest
proportion of foreign born of any
of the New England States and Yer
mont the largest proportion OF
native born. This results from the
/ fact that Rhode Island is maufac-
| uring state, while Vermont is an
agricultural commonwealth.
Irish is the prevailing foreign
element in Rhode Island, but the
number Of this element is not pro-
portionally as large as at former
periods of census enumeration. In
19O5-the last census available for
such an enumeration the number
of Irish in the state was 32,629,
while in 1885 the number was 49,
895.
Since the great famine in Ireland
in 1841, the population of that is
land has decreased one half, while
the population of Great Britain as
whole has doubled. In 1841 Ireland
had a population of 100000, while
in 1910 it had but 4,456,000. The
United States has profted by the
immigration of the Irish. They are
desirable element in the popula-
ton. They have contributed to the
industrial development of the coun-
try; have shown t heir patriotism by
their valor in all our wars; Irish
generals, statesmen, and orators
have been conspicuous in every
stage of our history. The Irish
people are distinguished for sound
common sense and unaffected
manners. You seldom see an Irish
man rude or arrogant.
The English are next to the Irish
in the number of foreign born
inhabitants. There are also quite
number Of Scotch and Welsh here,
and five or six thousand Germans
and some Scandinavians. These
are all desirable additions to our
population.
There have recently come into
the United States large number of
| people from southern Europe Of
which Rhode Island would seem to
have more than its share, more than
| it wanted. Of these there are in the
state about 10000, constituting
about six per cent of the inhabit-
ants. This number includes only
immigrants, excluding children of
immigrants born here.
Now, there are two kinds of Ital-
ians, each characteristicall dis
tinctive from the other. The people
of northern Italy are different in sew
eral respects from those Of the
soath. Northern Italians are fair;
southern Italians are dark. The
most of the immigrants from Italy
come from the southern part, larg-
ly from Sicily. In 1908 there land
ed in the United States from Italy
166, 1888 people. Of these only 10, 4O8
came from the northern part of the
country. (In 1907 there were 1885,
731 Italian immigrants The ST
cilians are of Arabic mixture, Arabs
having occupied that island for two
hundred and fifty years. The ST.

murderous set. A mitigating fea-
ture of their cut-throat practice is
that they scrap mostly among them

at a cost Of $4,000, which he said were
available for an interurban project.
He added, however that those who
came seeking to promote or build it
must be those who had the real money
to finance the proposition, and that
they must be able to demonstrate by
past experiences that they had the
ability to carry it thru to completion.
Mr.. Young said that he represented
such pen, but he mentioned no names.

any such proposition confirming with
the outline as mentioned would be
