main the rest of the season.
While at Selmer | spent some
pleasant days, mixed as life ever

inspiration of hope when iife's

used, and which gave the town
it's name. We made q trip to old

joying the shade of a fine wal

talking to some of the old citi-
zens who were there when we

few of the old landmarks left,
and one of them was burned
down a few days after we were
there, the old Wisdom brick store
house. We looked toward the
old graveyard, marked by cedar
trees and a rank growth of vines,

mountain ranges on either side,

the valley of the French Broad

ever it is a new and gorgeous
picture to our fascinated gaze,
the lustrous green of the great
slopes, the narrow val

tered in a small cave, and the
narrow winding road which leads
to somewhere around, and to the
heart of these grim giants whose
stern and austere presence gives
shelter to the simple jewellers of
the cabins, who ever turn with
warm and tender affection to
their mountains. So one picture

wonder and admiration the works

MacSwiney Sends. Last
Message to Irish
In America
"a ssss9s SIS DAYS T Ssss

LONDON. Oct. From his bed in the
Brixton jail inhrmary Terence Mac
swiney. the hunger-striking lord mayor
Of Cork, today sent what may be his
final message to the American people.
The message was sent through his
brother, Peter MacSwiney OF New York,
who has just arrived here. 1t says:
Terence wishes me to say he sends
love to President De La Valera of the
Irish Republic, his colleagues and the
American people.
He and his comrades in the Cork jail
are determined to offer up their lives for
the Irish Republic.
Terence is very weak, but conscious,
and his determination has never wa
vered."
This was the fifty sixth day of Terence
MacSwiney's hunger strike.
Peter MacSwiney was deeply shocked
at the change in his brothers appearance
since he last saw him.
Terence is emaciated almost to the
point O.! death.
The bones of his face and limbs and
his ribs protrude through the skin.
His eyes are sunken until they are
almost invisible.
He can not speak above a whisper.
The Cork lord mayor denied reports
that he was taking nourishment.
He told his brother he wished to en-
phssize that he is dying for a principle
and for the freedom Of his country.

CENSUS SHOWS
14,OOO,OOO GAIN
Decennial Nose Counting Indi
Gates United States Con-
tains los, 10000 Persons.

WASHINGTON, Oct. THE official
1920 population for Indiana. as announced
today, is 2,930,544, as against 2,7o0,S76 in
1910.
WASHINGTON, Oct. THE result of
the fourteenth decennial census will be
announced late today.
1t was expected to show there are APP
proximately 105. 100000 persons In con-
tinental United States, or about $4,000,
600 more than in 1910 when the last
census was taken.
The population announcement repre-
sents nine months work by $1,000 tenn
porary enumerators and 5000 permanent
employees of the census bureau.
THREE STATES
SHOW LOSS.
Along with its announcement of total
population the census bureau will make
public a complete list of State pOpula-
tons.
Only three States-Nevada, Mississippi
and Yermont--have shown an actual de-
crease in population so far and others
to be announced were expected to show
substantial increases.
Many States, however, failed to gain
as fast as in previous decades.
The gain for the whole country was
expected to be II per cent, as compared
with a gain Of 209 per cent between the
years of 1900 and 1910.
Census officials said the drop In the
percentage was due to the hating OF
immigration, decreased by death rate
as q result Of the war, and large death
rate resulting from two serious cpl
denies of influenza.
MORE WORK FOR
CENSUS BUREAU.
The work of actually counting noses, =
which is complete, is only small part
of the census task.
The bureau must yet determine what
percentage of the population Is farmers,
laborers, bookkeepers, elevator boys or
corporation heads
It must determine how many chickens,
sheep and cattle there are, how many
people own the farms they work and
how many rent them.
Before long they Will know how many
bachelors, bachelor girls, widows and
orphans there are, and just what per-
centage Of the population they consti-
tute.

Harding said We can no longer "bait

said he had no plans that did not apply

nor learn from experience.
ITO formulate a plan Of international
