Decrease Il, German.
Berth Rate Spells
Defeat For Kaise,

Proof that the foundations of
the central powers are crumbling
and that the morale of their ci-
william <poulation cannot withstand
the ravages of war more than two
years longer, Is disclosed by DR..
Raymond Pearl, statistician OF
the food administration. Through
comparison of data gathered by
agents. of the allied governments
and the United States, scientists
have established the following
conclusions.
o. he net decrease in birth rate
T. az was 48 per cent in Ger
ny and 81 per cent in Hun
gary.
The net decrease in England
and France was "a per cent.
Germany's loss in population
was 10000 per 100000. Hun
gary's 10000 per 100000 and
and England's 10000 per 1,00O,-
900.
The marriage rate in England
showed marked increase, but
the rate in the central powers
declined sharply.
"A great decrease in the NOR
tality rate in England, coupled
with the increase marriage rate,
will result in q net increase in
population in the British Isles as
q result of the war.
War greatly increases the death
rate among all persons of 20 years
or over, owing to worry and ner-
vOus excitement.
The marriage rate of any coun-
try is the surest indication of the
morale of the nation.

There is no section of Sherburne
county in which greater improvements
can be noticed than in the eastern
part Of Livonia township. Larger
areas of land are under cultivation
than few years ago; and the land
appears to be well farmed. Farm

same may be said Of the school houses;
and best of all the roads are in ex-
cellent condition. There are evidences
OF thrift and prosperity on every hand

Of course the marshal cannot be in
a dozen places at the same time, but
it is fact that automobiles are daily
being driven through the streets OF
Princeton at the rate of from Is to
IS miles an hour. When the marshal
drags these speeders in there should
be no fine unless it be accompanied by
a Jail sentence. It has been demon.
strated a thousand times that a fine
will not stop speeding.

resurrect a paper is not particularly
difficult matter, but the Isle publica-

it difficult to avert another interment.

of Course They Are Unfit.

The comptroller Of the currency re-
Gently approved an application for {
charter for new national bank in {
certain western state, as there was
apparently, an opening for bank ir
the community in which it was to be
established and the applicants seemed
to be men of responsibility and means
and some prominence.
Subsequently doubt arose as to the
loyalty and patriotism of the appli.
cants, and it was ascertained that al.
though the six applicants for the char
ter were reported to be men of con.
siderable means-several of them
claiming to be worth a quarter of a
million dollars or more-the aggre-
gate amount of Liberty bonds of the
first and second issues to which the
SIX applicants had subscribed was only
$500, several Of the applicants for the
charter having taken no Liberty bonds
at all, and their aggregate subscrip-
tons to the Red Cross had been only
$40.
The comptroller has today revoked
the authority given for the organiza-
ton Of this proposed national bank, on
the ground that men Of means in these
times who show so little patriotism
and so little public spirit in the matter
Of making subscriptions to Liberty
bonds and to the Red Cross are unfit to
be placed in charge Of any national
bank.
