Wanted---Feq0er PARISHES
And More Pr0duction

TROM melancholy reflections on the cost
n of our daily bread let us turn for mo-
ment to consider this thought arousing
circumstance: in 1880 seven Americans out
of every ten dwelt in the country; in 1910
nearly half the population (f1fty-three and
seven-tenths per cent, to be exact) dwelt in
cities; and by 1920, it is reckoned, fewer
than five of every ten Americans will be left
on the farm. eff the decrease were only az
great as between 1900 and 131O," says The
Manufacturers Record, "then about forty
seven per cent of the population would be
rural in 1920, but the percentage of decrease
is so great that the total will probably be
between forty and forty-fve per cent, leaving
from 1fty-fve to sixty per cent in the cities,
as food consumers whose demand for food
is ever expanding while the number Of food
producers is ever decreasing"
Here we have telling factor in the prob
lem of purse-breaking prices. Danish hoard
ing, profiteering and other injected ills, as
banished they certainly ought to be by the
robustest kick of which the law is capable.
Still, we shall face the meaningful fact that
consumers increasing more rapidly
than producers-so much more rapidly
that our supply of food will inevitably lag
cripple-like behind the leaping demand, if the
present trend continues. In the decade end
ed 1910, the urban population of the United
States increased approximately twelve mil
lion, and the rural population something less
than four and a quarter million. Think of
this tendencys going unchecked for another
ten years-and as a fact it has grown more
pronounced. Think of it's going on with ac-
CELEBRATED speed for thirty years! What viii
the next generation of overcrowded city
jewellers be paying for the products Of the
under-manned farms?
Whatever the solution, it is plain that
persons who leave the country, laying down
the role of producers, to become consumers
in city treadmill are adding to the nations
problem, and in most cases to their own as
we'll 1t is plain, too, that real opportunity
beckons today, not from amid the smoke and
clang of arid city streets, but from the life
giving harvest fields. Better roads, better
schools and more conveniences there must be,
If country life is to win the followers it
should; and of all investments which a State
or county can make, none compares with
these for material foresight and substantial
wisdom. But even with passably good
schools and roads and modicum of conven-
fences, life in the country, life as a producer
of things essential is incomparably better
than existence dragged fruitlessly out in the
glaring but dull routine to which hundreds
of thousands of city jewellers are enslaved
Less show and more substance, less softness
and more of the labor that gives iron to the
soul, less thought of money and more thought
of the values which money but crudeIy SYM

haste to attain ends which in nowise satisfy
when they are reached, less parasitism, more
productiveness-there lies the ultimate an

WHAT is NECESSARY TO A
HAPPY MARRIAGE
By Dr.. Frank Crane


What are your ideas regarding marriage
between persons Of different reIigon?" writes
lady. II am a Jewess; a young man of
Catholic faith is in love with me, and 1 with
him. We have both very broad views on re-
Hgion, and would be willing to sacrifice our
religious ideas to a very great degree, if we
thought we could be happy after marriage,
but we are perplexed"
Go ahead and marry the boy. If you are
happy, you will commend your own judgment
and courage If not, you will blame it on
me-. But 1 have so mach on my conscience
now that little more will make no matter.
A happy marriage does not depend on unity
of opinion, either as to religion, politics, art,
society anthing else.
It depends on three things, which tie deeper
than the above noted: on Love, Loyalty and
Decency.
First, Love- Because Love means Illusion
the Rainow. Colored Glasses, the Ideal and
the Dream. Human beings are so constituted
that you cannot possibly get along with them
on basis of pure materialism. You must
love, or you cannot endure the intimacies of
married life. You must love-or you will
loathe. So be very sure about the divine fire.
and do not let the spark go out. That man
can thrill you is no complete proof he will
make you a good husband, but if he cannot
it is proof enough he will not do.
Second, Loyalty. There is no difficulty in
this. Love is naturally loyal, if you are hon
est. If you give it a chance love will grow
with the years, and will automatically solve
all problems.
Third. Decency. Which means, you must
play the game according to the rules. You
must be fair. You must do your part. And
you are not living on desert island, but in
a highly complex civilization. But complex
as it may be, it has few. simple, plain re-
quirements. If you do not intend to observe
them, let marriage alone, and join the parlor
Bolsheviks
being a necessary requirement for a success
full marriage it is more apt to be the con-
trary.
couple is usually happier when they hold
differing views, provided they have sense
enough not to try to regulate and change
each other. It is much more interesting to
live with one who sees things from different
point of view than with who merely
echoes you own opinions
If you are hospitable-minded fair and keen
the Golden Rule, you will have no trouble
with divergent views on Church or Music
or course, If you are vain, proud, tyran-
meal, constitutionally selfish pg-headed and
egotIstical you will get angry when your hus-
band does not agree with you. But then Won
will have trouble any way, and there's no
hope for YOU
The freer the minds the surer the conyic-
ton that you will be understood and loved
no matter what you think or say and the.
more complete the sense of freedom why, the
happier the marriage.
(Maybe.)

BITS OF INFORMATION

In some of the East Indian islands and on
the mainland of Hindustan, are to be found
the smallest race of honey bees in the world.
Their honeycombs are no larger than a
child's hand, and the cells are about the size
or small pinhead. This honey is excellent,
as is the wax. The little creatures build the
combs on the branch Of low tree, and as
they have not to provide for winter, they
work all the year through, raising broods
like themselves. In the same land there IS
a race OF giant bees, as large as a field
cricket These monsters of the bee world
build honeycombs that are from six to seven
feet in length, four more in width and
that weigh from 800 to 400 pounds each.
There are fewer daily newspapers in
Spain than in any other country of Europe.
London is still the worlds chief empor-
ium of the seed trade.
During the period of the war the artificial
dye industry in Japan has gone forward very
rapidly and now there are more than 1000
factories in operation.
At the time of the signing of the armi-
stice there were 10000 dogs employed in
various capacities along the war front.

ers can sell their product at a reasonable
profit.
This meeting is regarded of the most vital
importance by those who are in close touch
with market conditions. Unless there is i'm

Cotton will continue to be grown, of course,
and in liberal quantities. But it will be

of in dangerous disproportIon as aforetime.

GERMANY is A PERIL
OUTSIDE THE LEAGUE


London, Dec. 4-Major General
Maurice, in an article in the Daily
News, insists on the Importance OF
bringing GermanW into the league OF
nations as the necessary preliminary
to any sweeping reduction OF arma-
ments.
mo one yet" he says, has any real
faith in the efficiency Of treaties as a
means of reducing armaments. At
tempts in the past to prevent NATIONS
from arming themselves, when they
desired to do so. have failed, the most
conspicuous example being the renals-
sance of Prussia's military power al
ter she was crushed by Napoleon IN
1906

MUST GIVE UP OUR DEAD.

Az last there is official encourage
ment for the parents and other near
kin who have been pleading for the
return of their soldier dead. From
Washington comes the announcement
that the United States embassy at
Paris has been instructed by the state
department to make ''the strongest
concentrations possible" to the
French government for the removal
Of bodies of American soldiers now
huried in France. Coupled with this
Is the expressed hope that an under
standing will be reached to enable the
war department to undertake as
speedily as possible the return of
bodies where desired by relatives,
This is the action which has been anX-
iously awaited since the ending OF
1he war.
The Washington announcement con-
yevs the further information that the
French government has been told that
its continued refusal would have an
.unfavorable impression" upon the
American people. But this is putting
it mildly, for the facts are that bitter
feeling was engendered at the very
outset when it was declared that the
French government was responsible
for the delay, and this bitterness has
been growing steadily ever since.
The parents and next of kin of at
leest 10000 of the $4,000 American
dead have requested the return OF
bodies to the homeland. Add to these
the other relatives and the thousands
of sympathizing friends. and the COM
putation shows great host united
in demanding the return of their loved
and lost. This is the pressure thai
will bring about favorable action or
the part of the French government
and the sooner this is done the better
it will be for the continuance of tht
friendly relations now existing be
tween the two countries.

America are further away from us
than those of Europe; neither as a
market nor as a source of supply can
it take Europe's place.
But there is a vast field for us in
Central and South America which we
must endeavor to cultivate, without
neglecting our European interests to
do so. The products OF the Latin
American countries differ from those

IGNORANCE OF THE EAST.

CONGRESSMAN Hernandez, in an adj
dress to the Kiwanians, Wednesday,
told of the Indifference Of the eastern
states toward the interests Of New
Mexico. and the ignorance Of the av-
erage easterner regarding the people
of this state.
That some one section Of our com
mon country was not dependent upon
the others. that some one section
could be ignored by the others with
out damage to them, has been pleaded
many a time. Some have believed H.
ne did the southern states when they
seeded, as did much of the west when
in the early nineties a non-proteetiVe
tariff and a fifty-cent dollar were
preferred.
New Mexico's condition is New
England's and South Cardinals vital
concern. We have to prosper If the
rest of the country is to prosper. We
have been under the handicap Of a
vast area and a sparse population. we
have not been able, without onerous
taxes, to construct good roads or 10
maintain good schools. The federal
government maintains ownership OF
millions of acres of our lands and
pays no taxes for the maintenance OF
the state and county governments by
which those lands are controlled.
If we are to have roads through the
public domain, we must pay for their
construction and maintenance. The
great land owner, Uncle Sam, pays
nothing in the way of taxes, and he
will not turn over the lands to the
state in which they are located, ....
If the east could once understand
inst what conditions are in the public
land states, we could hope for relief
Rut the east will not understand, I'M
less we take the pains and incur the
expense necessary to a comprehensive
campaign of education.
