400, 1857, 558 POPULATION IN THE
UNITED KINGDOM

London, July, 2-(By Associated
Press)-The final report on the cen
sus, which was taken in 1911, and
which has just been issued, shows a
total population of 420,SS2 ,55S, of
which 315,156,396 were in India, and
As, 221,615 in the United Kingdom,
of Great Britain and Ireland.
The population Of Ireland continues
to decrease, France is stationary but
there has been a remarkable fall in
the growth of the population of Nor
way and Scotland. Germany shows
the highest rate of increase in Europe.
while in the British Empire abnormal
rates of growth are shown in Canada
and New Zealand.
In all English counties, births in
the enFintercensal years outnumbered
deaths, yet in six-London, Cumber-
land, Westmoreland, Cardigan, Rad
nor and Montgomery-the population
decreased, showing the losses by mi
grafton.
As a consequence, it is charged,of
wilful misstatement of age, the num-
Der of women in groups aged 1925
and $3.50 are disproportionately high.
There is a striking increase in the
number of public entertainers which
the report says is due largely to NOV
ing picture shows.

pointment of Mr.. W. H. Fitzhugh as
Director of Chapters for Mississippi,
with headquarters at V~icksburg, has
Just been made by W. ]. Leppert. d.
rector Gulf Division American Red
Cross. Mr.. Fitzhugh has already un-
dertaken actively the performing Of the
duties assigned to him which will be
spread of Red Cross work throughout
Mississippi, and to cooperate with the
Division Director making for the adj
vancing of the interests of society.
Advices from the Divisional Head
quarters in New Orleans indicate that
Mr.. Fitzhugh will handle all matters
of a jurisdiction character, and with
assistance of a Field Agent will car.
cry on the effective organization work
throughout the State.
Mr.. Fitzhugh is peculiarly fitted for
the important task assigned him, and
it is certain that his activities in Mis-
sissippi will result in material increas-
es in memberships. The purpose Of es-
tablishing a State Director in Missis-
sippi is to centralize the work, perfect
a more efficient organization and guar
antee greater development of the hu-
manitarian work undertaken by the
people of Mississippi.

ion Director Leppert that less than 60
days ago there were but twelve chap
tiers in the Gulf Division which COM
prises Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama,
Louisiana and East Texas, and only
seven thousand members in this Divis-
ion. Today there are four hundred and
twelve organizations with an aggre-
gate membership of a quarter of a
million. 1t is understood that the
Gulf Division will, with the assistance
of such men as Mr.. Fitzhugh, conduct
an aggressive campaign in the near
future, for memberships in the var
ious States of the Gulf Division.
Judged by the Activity already evil
denced in the Vicksburg Headquarters,
Mississippi, will keep apace with the
increase in the other States in the

IN MEMORIAM.

They started out to crimp 'em,
With their sign flung to the breeze,
They thought they had the Green Boys
Genufectin' on their knees,
But you know a seed starts sprouting
With a little bit of Green
And keeps on multiplying
IT'LL there's lots of stalks between.
The weather too is partial
To the Boys that wear the Green
The rain the Reds sign faded
The wind then whipped it lean a
IT'S sad these faded colors
Should designate defeat
But the Greens have the poor Reds
running
Like an army in retreat.
Three names the major portion
Of the vote are sure to get
Dorman, Webb and Jabby,
Play the ~favorites if you bet,
So here's to dear Miss Foley,
We've come along to Warner,
If she doesn't Steele the ballot,
The Reds are sure a goner.

Beforao and After Tdku1S

Under the guise of food preserva-
ton, hotel and restaurant men of the
country are accused of a shrewd at
tempt to lengthen the season in
which birds and game are destroyed.
The hotel and restaurant committee
of the Food Administration, COM
posed of sixteen men prominent in
their line of business, have recon-
mended that the United States Gov
eminent urge the States to lengthen
their game and fish seasons.
Officers of the National Associa-
ton Of Audubon Societies, the big
bird protective organization of the
country with a membership of over
three hundred thousand, regard the
new move as shrewd measure on
the part of the hotel and restaurant
men to try to get hold of more game
sales.
"Our knowledge of their past rec
ord in game matters" says T. Gilbert
Pearson, Secretary Of the Associa-
ton, "leaves no other conclusion.
The committees recommendation, if
adopted, would tend to widen game
obstruction. Everybody knows how
the hotels and restaurants charge for
game on the bill of fare"
Mr.. Pearson has taken the issue
I'D with the Food Administrator, ask
ing that the recommendation of this

Owner Murray has transformed into
a replica Of some of the famous NOV

It Is hard to make the public take
a moving picture theatre seriously.
They can't overcome their opinion Of
1t as cheap form Of entertainment
a nickeloedeon, "movie"-but Muir
rays venture will make them change
their mode OF thought quickly.
Murray has dressed up his moving
picture theatre, giving it a new stage
setting of real artistic parts, provided
1t with suitable music, a ten-piece or
chestra and a soprano songbird, and it
ought to be given place in the
amusement program of the community
corresponding with its merits.
PIeases His Eye
The new manager of the Murray, w
n. Hickey, who came from New York
calls the New Murray a palace of
pleasure. That's going it little
strong. You see, we're accustomed to
taking our pleasures a little more
sedately out here. But the New Muir
