Urban Gain and Rural Loss.

While the United States census
figures show that American cities
are growing largely at the expense
of rural territory it would appear
shat conditions here are not differ
ent from those in the Old World.
Some population figures of Eu-
ropean countries recently publish
ed indicate marked drift in the
cities. Census statistics f o m
France show that outside of the
fifteen largest cities there was a
decrease in population of 40, 900.
The entire increase of population
in five years was 100000, and of
this the city of Paris contributed
305, 900. The increase of popula-
ton in Germany is greater than
that of France, but it is confined
to the cities of so, 900 and upward.
Switzerland gained 438,000 in ten
years, but the gain was in the cities
Of $4,000 and upward. Ireland,
which is decreasing in population,
shows gains in its large towns.
More than 80 per cent. of the PEG,
pie in England reside in cities OF
40, 900 and upward. In practically
all the European countries the
urban territory is growing at a
much greater rate than the rural
territory.
The United States is by no means
alone in its need of a back-to-the-
farm movement. Possibly scien-
tific culture and improved methods
of farming may keep production
apace with the population. If it
should not be able to do so and the
drift to the cities continues, Mr..
Hill's forecast of a world going
supperless to bed" may be in a fair
way of realization before the lapse
of many decades. The people who
are fiocking to the cities must be
fed, and the country must produce
the material wherewith to feed
them. The country can exist with
out the cities, but the city emphat-
ically cannot exist without the
country.

New Drug That Quickly Removes

see that even the worst freckles
have begun to disappear, while the

New Fish and Game Law.

The State Legislature did a
wise thing ia enacting new fish
and game law. This law creates a
State Commission to be appointed
by the Governor.to enforce the
statutory provisions for the pro-
lection, preservation and propaga-
tion of fish and game.
The commissioners are to serve

81 a year for resident hunters and
SIS year for non-residents. Once
the new plan gets fairly into oper-
alton il is believed the fish and
game department will pay its way.
Eventually it should become a
source of material revenue to the
State. Similar laws in other States
have had this result and there is
no reason for believing that the
experience will be different in Ken
lucky.
The Fish and Game Protective
Associations in the State have been
asking for legislation of this kind
for number of years, moved to
that action by the realization of
the futility of any protection or
conservation under the laws that
have existed in the past. Ken
lucky has been one of the few
States without a Fish and Game
Department. The rapid shrinkage
of the fish and game supply and
the decline in numbers of our soue
and insectivorous birds has moved
the Legislature to do Whist should
have been done years ago. Under
the new system it should be posi-.
BILE to put stop to a great deal Of
the reckless slaughter of fish,
birds and animals which so long
has been practically unrestrained.

(By Dorothy Dox.)

In frank moments we are bound to
admit that matrimony, as general
practice, is a pretty dreary affair, and
that most husbands and wives, if they
told the truth, would confess to Won
dering why they let themselves in for
a thing that has so many more kicks
ha'pence.
The average wife complains that she
is nothing but domestic slave. She
spends her days in a dull round of
monotonous duties and in practicing
petty economies. She cooks and sews
and cleans and walks the Colic-strick-
en- baby and binds up cut fingers and
pares and skimps and saves, week af-
ter week, month after month, year
after year.
For reward she has the grumbling of
a husband who is never quite pleased,
who takes all of her labor and her sac
rifices without thanks or praise, and
who doles out the money for the nee
essary family expenditures with re-
marks about her extravaganza that
blister her very soul.
On his part the average married man
says he is nothing but a beast of bur
den. That he spends his life Shaving
to support family that can never
hsve enough, and that all that he
gets out of his labor are the worst
