Food and Population.

\ century ago Thomas Rob
ert Nautilus. an English writer
and theorist. put forth the pre-
diction that the population of
the modern world was increas-
ing so rapidly that the time
would come when it would be
impossible with the products of
human labor to feed its people
Nobody today is scared at
any such prospect, nevertheless
il seems nearer at hand than is
commonly supposed. Already
the United States. with an area
of three and a half million
square miles of the richest farm
ing land in the world, is confes-
sing to the difficulties of its
food supply by importing beef.
corn. potatoes, eggs and other
food products from Canada,
Argentina and other countries.
1t is not strange that the Euro
pean countries are forced to i'm
port food, for they are over
crowded with population and
their lands have been cultivated
for thousands of years. But
that a vast new country like
ours. that can contain five times
its present population and
should be able TO support them,
has to import bread and meat
for It's population, seems a
shame.
< report read at the recent
convention OF American Meat
Packers at Chicago showed that
in the last census period of ten
years the population of the
United States had increased 20
per cent, while the number of
beef cattle had decreased 80
per cent.
So serious have become rel
alive conditions as to popula-
ton and cattle. production that
one prediction evoked by them
is that porterhouse steak, at the
present percentage of decrease
in the supply, will sell ten years
hence at 81 pound at retail.
To the talk as TO relief from i'm
portatlon of cattle from Argen.
tina not much attention is ser
iously paid, in view of the de-
mand upon that country from
Europe. The United States
once exported large quantities
of beef to Europe, but now it
encourages the belief that the
price will rise above the reach
of the masses of its own people.
There has not been such a
falling off in the bread supply,
but it may be looked for.
Mathematically expressed /,
the Nautilus theory was that the
population tended to increase
in geometrical ratio and the
means of subsistence in arith-
metical ratio: that is. the pop
ulation would increase in per
iods of % years by /, ,, 4, 5, l6,
etc. "While the accuracy Of
these ratios has been success
fully disputed it still remains, 7"
says Professor Seligman in the
Principles Of Economics, "a
question as To whether popula-
ton really sends 10 increase
faster than food " The figures
quoted would seem to show that
population does increase mater
tally faster than one Of the most
important kinds of food

TEMPE NORMAL OPENS
 SEPTEMBER EIGHTH
Banner Year Looked Forward to; All Buildings Campus Now
 Undergoing Changing

Keeping pace with the annual growth in attendance at the Normal in Tempe, the school term of 1913 and 1914 is being looked forward to as the banner year of all, according to estimate recently made by A. J. Matthews. president of the institution Inquiries have been pouring into the office of the president daily, they have been answered, and in prac tically every instance the correspond enCe has worked to the one end, there will be one more student added to the attendance roll at the Normal this
 year With all this there are a few
 features of the opening of sclfool
 that should be given attention at this
 time.
 Primarily, there are still number
 cf students listed at the presidents $
 office who would attend the Norma!
 il they could secure employment for
 their board and room in Tempe. A
 number of these have been placed
 since the fact was given publication
 for the first time. but moro yet re
 main The list is at the office and
 the president will gladly go over it
 with any resident of Tempe who can furnish one or more students. with the desired work.
 The fall term of school opcqs on the eighth of September. The Sth and 9th will be taken up with the en- trance examination and classification oi all students and then the work of the year begins in earnest. All of the buildings on the campus. tctaling eight, are now undergoing d complete cleaning, oVerhauling and general repairs wherever needed Work on the new young ladies dor mItory has been slightly held up for the past week but the last two days have again seen a large force of men at work.

THE UNAcCENTED VOWEL.

In all unaccented syllables, the American pronunciation is character ized by a general disregard of the vowel The vowel in the final syl-
 fables of profligate. target and spirit often has in ordinary conversation the same phonetic value as the II in Far
 ra gut Though it is perhaps pedantic
 to give such final voWels their full value to make no distinction a all be-
 tween the unaccented VOWelS is Cer-
 tainIv unrefined. That the endings
 -ment and ness should be allowed to
 degenerate into the vague -munt and
 -nuss is really deplorable. This negli
 gence is even more noticeable and in
 exCuSable in VOwels at the beginning
 of words. The ordinary pronunciation of enough and opinion might be rep resented by unnough and uppinion though the first syllable is in fact nothing more than a grunt. No dis tfnCtiOn is made even between such confusing words as affect and effect.
 The sunday school children sing in levarfabIy of "Jerusalum the goldun,' and loudly praise the "bessud Trim utv." Let those who pride themselves upon their pronunciation beware of the unaccented vowel, lest this one weak ness in their speech bewray them!

The Wcstgard pathfinder car passed through Mesa yesterday on their way back over the route from here to Flor enCe and Tucson. The occupants were somewhat sunburnt but otherwise look ing fresh as when they passed here last week.
 Mesa is not particularly interested in just which route the National High ways Association decides upon as the official route, for either one comes through Mesa. At present the Roose- welt Globe road is the best road. as the Florence state road is very dusty and full of holes. But with d good rain and little work the Florence route might be the best, but the Florence route will never be as interesting from d scenic point of view as the Globe route.
 Either way. Mesa will be on the road and that is the main thing with Mesa.
