SCREENS OVER

insects. They believe that this will
be beneficial to all concerned. The
screens will be used on every day, ex-
cepting market days. when business is
rushing, and it is impossible to take
off and replace screens every time a
sale is made.

FUNERAL OF HIGHLY
 ESTEEMED CITIZEN
Passing of J. B. Hooker After A Long
 Illness.

The funeral of J. R. Hooker was held at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and was attended by many friends. NIT. Hooker was a well known and highly citizen of Phoenix and died at To o'clock Monday morning at his home number 37O North First avenue, as the result of a cancer with which he had been afflicted for several years.
 Mir Hooker had fought brdvely to overcome the disease and had visited the coast cities in the hope of ob- taining relief but only temporary bene- fit was secured. Sunday he was taken suddenly worse and it was seen at once that he was nearing the end of his journey. He is survived by his wife and a son and daughter, the latter, Miss Mabel. being here with her moth CT. The son is Donald Hooker. young man about twenty years old, now in san Diego.
 The family lived in Prescott for many years moving to Phoenix five or six years ago Mir. Hooker owned consid- ,rabIc property in the city and at one time owned what is known as the Walker livery stable but sold it last spring on account of failing health.

GREAT BRITAIN SLOWING DOWN.

Now that the final figures of the Tinted States census are being com piled it is interesting to compare the result with the report of the English census bureau.
 one fact is convincinEiv carried home. and that is that the growth of the British empire is gradually be- coming slower and slower. To the New World the tide of immigration has turned. The various states are at an unusual pace. The great northwest. the south and tine middle west are rapidly accumulating a population from all sections of Flu rope They are coming over (" be into the melting pot, as Fang will would explain.
 The population of Great Britain. for the first time since the census of the Kingdom was taken, has not attained It's rate of increase. During the de cade just past the rate was 91 per cent During the previous decade it was 1217 per cent. This tells the
 . Ef4s
 England has gained her natural  growth. England is one of the old countries of the old World. and. like other old countries. has attained the pinnacle of it's progress and prosper ity. New blood tells. Younger genor- ations are more thrifty than the older ones. Vitality is everything in life. The United States is yet young. It is fresh and vigorous in it's growth. New York is rapidly approaching London in point of population. It is second in the race for population of the world Paris comes third and Chicago fourth, which shows how the New World is losing it.
 Our foreign population in some in stances has been far from satisfac- tory. We have been too lenient in ad-

hitting the undesirable residents to our shores. The criminal scum of Europe has been allowed to come to this land of the free, and as result much disorder has resulted.
 on the other hand. some of the best citizens we have are of foreign birth. and their sons and daughters are the most loyal Americans. The radical reduction in the growth of England is still more significant when entrusted with the growth of Germany. Great Britain increased in population only 3.275. 0O0 i'm ten years. while Germany is increasing at the rate of 1000,000 a year The two main apparent causes for this failure to maintain the nor nal rate of increase of population are the great fall in the birth rate and the great increase in immigration
 The lowest rate of increase has been in the agricultural sections, showing that the youth of England is turning toward the cities and abandoning the farms of their forcfathers.
 This is a tendency in our own coun- try which must bo combatcd. The chief fact of importance in this com parison is, however that we are rap idly passing England in our popula- ton growth.-Momphis Appeal
