According to the reports of federal
department of agriculture the nations
wheat crop is going to be of unusual
proportions. All the otner crops are
in pretty good shape. This makes the
betting good that Old General Pros
perity is busy these days getting a new
uniform made so he can start on an
other trip throughout the land before
many months have passed. Hard
times have no show to last long in any
country that adds billions of new
wealth to it's pile each year with varied
and abundant harvests.

TEX Richard, who promoted the
Johnson-Jeffries fight, seems to be
framing up deal to wrest the pugilis-
tic championship from Jack Johnson.
He will offer a purse of $4,000 for
johnson to fight any two men in the
world, one right after the other with
only a rest of fifteen minutes between
the contests. If Johnson can pull off
any stunt like this the white mans
hope" will become a mythical thing.
Surely it, OF he, won't put in an APP
pearance until the day after Johnson's
death from natural causes

IREI.AND,s CENSUS.

The census figures for Ireland have
just been issued, showing a population
of 4.8S1,951. which is a loss in the
last decade of 76, s24. Ireland actually
contained 100000 more people in
1911 than she has now. Since 1S41
the population has decreased decade by
decade.
In 1S41 Ireland had S.175,124 peo-
pie, but the famine years reduced this
to 6.552,ss5 in 1851. Twenty years
later the policy of England toward Ire
land had reduced the population more
than 100000. and in 1901 the figures
had fallen to 4,456,540. Now the lat
est data show small loss during the
past decade. Sad as the story of the
figures is and duplicated by no other
civilized country, the ratio of loss at
this last census, together with the
dawn of more liberal policies, gives
hope that the tide will turn, and that
the census of 1921 may show moder-
ate increase. The only consolation
that the statistics afford is the knowl-
edge that the people have not disap--
peared from the face of the earth, but
have become important factors in the
life of America, Canada. Australia and

not work by the week. They work

PoLIrIcALLY SUSPICIOUS.

If any institution on earth has q
right to feel that it is limited beyond
reason by the laws which govern 1t,
unquestionably that institution is the
University of Berlin. Il is not sur
prising to read of agitation among the
German people at the suicide OF
Russian student because his applica-
ton for matriculation at the university
had been rejected on the ground that
he was, according to the Russian po-
lice, politically suspicious" Under
the law the university cannot accept
student so characterized. 1or can it
even investigate the charges of the
Russian police with view of learning
whether they are just or otherwise.
Thus it will be seen, the authorities
of the University of Berlin are, in fact,
the dupes of the Russian police. In
some instances, it Is recalled, the Ger
man police have even driven out Rus
sian men and women whose political
activities were displeasinE to them,
Notwithstanding the fact that those ac-
tivities may have no connection what
ever with AFFAIRS in Germany.-Man-

/ shall never forget an experience
l had in the Blue jeans company
] many years ago. We were playing
one night stands and sleeping for
the most part on trains, which gave
Us little time for rest between sta
tons. It was with one Of those
transforming trips that this story
has to deal. One Of the men playing
a small part in the cast had been
acting queer for several days
When asked BY one Of the mem
bers Of the company what was the
matter with him he replied, Il think
! am behaving pretty well for a
man who knows he has only seven
more days to live" His gloom con-
tinued to deepen until this night Of
all nights, when suddenly he
cheercd up and began to sing. It
was Sunday night, and the company
sat around an open CRATE where
some hickory logs were burning and
furnished the only light in the
room.
Some Of the boys had taken their
turn at an old much out of tune
piano, and Gloomy Gus, as we had
nicknamed him, began to sing. he
finished one verse, then wheeled on
the piano stool and said:
4But why sing? You viii all re-
member my prophecies longer than
you win my song"
He began his seance by choosing
the youngest woman. aYour mother
died today at 2 o'clock. A telegram
is already on the way. You viii go
back east, and in two weeks time
you viii be playing an engagement
in a New York house"
Some Of US were inclined to SCOT,
bnf he siIenced Us by his serious
ness.
To the leading woman he said,
sYou viii be a widow before you
reach the end Of this tour"
Turning to me, he said: Bob,
You will find it cheaper to stop in a
hotel than to visit friends in FRS
co. There is o than one way Of
loe,no q ~ardrohc"
We thought he had finished, as
he was silent for so long, but he
added cheerfully: Nov. about my
self. / have made all my arrange
ments and want you to ship my
body to the address you viii find in
my purse tomorrow"
He had us all going, and when
the telegram arrived two hours
later verifying the first prophecy
we began to sit up and take notice.
The next morning the prophet died
Of al apoplectic stroke.
When I reached California I met
a friend whom I had not seen in
years, and he persuaded me to share
his bachelor apartment with him.
The third night the house was
burned to the ground, and when I
returned from the theater I was
minus a wardrobe.

cies we're carried out to the letter,

Judging from the interest manifest
BY the farmers from every section Of

true Of Utah where there is an i'm
