ENGLISH FAMILIES TO
 EMICRATE TO CANADA

VANCOUVER, B. C.-Hundreds of English families of the middle class will emigrate to Canada, and especially to British Columbia, with in the next few years, and large influx may be expected before the end of this year, in the opinion of James Findlay, former mayor of Vancouver, who recently returned here after four years war work abroad.
 Englishmen who formerly main tained a high standard of living on pre-war incomes, now find those incomes insufficient for their needs and are turning their eyes toward Canada as a land of broader oppor- tunities, Mir. Findlay asserted. These conditions apply especially to the middle class, made up mainly of business and professional men, he said.

SECRETARY URGES FARMERS ID HELP
 GATHER RETURNS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 20 Secretary Houston of the depart ment of agriculture has issued an appeal to the farmers of the nation to assist the census enumerators in gathering accurate data regarding farms and farming details. The farmers are urged to cooperate more fully with the census bureau. their reluctance to assist thus far having resulted in much delay in
 gathering the desired information
 and difficulty in taking the farm census.
 This feature of the census work, the appeal points out, has become a matter of serious concern, but is not altogether the result of failur" on the part of farmers to cooper ate. Unfavorable weather condi tions have helped to hold the work
 back.
 Farmers are urged to give the census enumerators not only such information as may be asked for
 directly, but also such other in 1 formation as may suggest itself.
 especially with regard to farms that may have been overlooked.
