Mildred French gave by far the

more extensive training enabled her
to do it splendidly. The audience re-
ceived her as one whom they had

an American girl. pupil OF his

Later he plays in rich mans

PRESS COMMENTS THAT'S ALL
YOU NEED THE HOME PAPER.
(By EXCHANGES ADIToD)

A man, to be a thoroughly good citizen, must keep
posted on conditions and events in his own COM
munity. He must keep in touch with his immediate
envronment-know what is going on, who his public
servants are, what they stand for.
The home paper is the best place to look to keep
posted on home affairs. The home paper is in the
same class with the home town school, the home
town church and home town ibrary-it is an edu-
eational institution And no one would think of
refusing to support the schools
Your home paper may be like your dinner
perhaps there may be some things you don't like
about it. Treat it as you would meal OF victuais-
eat what you like .and>p pass up what you don't
Keep posted on the doings Of your neighbors
and the community A man cannot do the work
of good citizen unless he is in touch with affairs,
movements and events of his own locality.-1tasca

POPULATION OF ENGLAND
GREATER THAN BEFORE WAR

(By International News Service)
London, April 14.-Of all the Eur
opean nations which went to war in
1914, England alone has a greater
population today than it had then.
The increase is about 100000 per-
sons, according to latest official esti-
mates.
Germany's population today is
100000 less than in 1914, when 1t
was 100000. And today there are
nearly two million more women than
men in Germany. The number of chill
dren born in Germany during the
war one-third to one-half below nor

Austria's population has shrunk
much in the same way as Germany's.
Turkey, shorn of her subjects races
drops from thirty to six million peo-
pie.
Russia has also suffered terribly.

American home is an institution sacred to every

of children, for the perpetuation Of the race. 1t
