Gen. Agnus is content to leave the work of newspaper making to other and younger men.
 The Baltimore American is one of the oldest newspapers in the United States It appeared first three years before the signing the Declaration of Independence, and since that date has served its readers continuously For sixty years it has been the property of the family Charles Carroll Fulton and for the last forty years under the direction of Gen Agnus, who married daughter Of the Fulton family.
 Gen. Agnus was born in France and served in the Franco Austrian war under Napoleon H. Also he served in the balloon corps under Garibadi He came to- the United States in 1860 and served throughout the Civil War, attaining the rank of brigadier general IL was during the latter part Civil War that he first met Miss Fulton Baltimore After theil marriage he became interested in the Baltimore American and placed in charge of the business office of that property.

The Workshop of Happiness.
(Cincinnati Enuuirer.) ]


 The world is workshop in which should find happiness. There be true happiness outside the sphere of worthwhile toll. We are told but that it is equally important to do right thing in the right And the right way is the way to happiness Unhappness is the result of violation of the Divine Law wilfuly through ignorance.
 In the sweat of faces work, but never our hearts. Whatever our work may be it should be inspired by light and song from the skies overhead
 Some tells that should swing our hammers in rythm; call sheep in cadences; till cur fields while listening the Angeus
 Can this be done? Why not?
 In small Judean village born the Light of the World But all the world has realized this fact The world, broadly speaking, continues to be blind indifferent to the noblest spiritual ideals.
 We read: "lt has been finely said that Christianity at the heart of it. is the faith that heaven has taken the earth by surprise; that the upper air is full ministries and that therefore we would never look not down but up"
 Thackeray wrote: There born into the world one so great that all the world worships Him, and good that all the world loves Him."
 He meant all that part of the world which, in one way another has found Him.
 Were is not for the basic theme of love that faith never could have appealed to mortals it has ap- realed to him. Love continues to be the ever-new and vibrant note in the song of life Through the grave is robbed of it's errors it's sadness mystery But it has illuminated that path which leads beyond the stars Love chants the hymns of faith and hope Love- in this workshop world, offers humankind the priceless boon of happiness in that service which makes for the common good of all.

THE CENSUS AND FARMING.

The for 1920 shows that the number ot farms in the United States has nceased slightl during the last ten year period. There has been decrease in fact in the number of farms in the NeH England, Middle Atlantic and Middle Western States
 The gain has been in the South and Far West. Tho returns also show that the average farm is smalle in acreage than it ten years ago However the acreage under cultivation has very largel. increased. Formerly there many farms tha used for grazing and pasturage which are now devoted to raiiing erops In the Eastern and Middle Western States there have been many consultations of farms and many farms abandoned. In the Soun ard West many Of the largest farms have been cut up into smaller farms and many hundreds of thou sands of thet not under cultivation ar, producing
 There has been very slight increase in the farm ing population of the country in the last years and very large increase in the urban population This does necessarily indicate that people have quit agriculture pursuit and left the farms fer the city. In more instances it means that farmer. have quit living the farm, haye moved into towl and operate their farms from town home I'm proved roads and automobiles have made possible for farmer his farm from the city. and the advantages of better schools. the better entertain ment and agreeable living conditions for the family in town have induced the farmers to take advantage of the opportunity to remain a farmer

GOOD SPIRIT AT MEETING.

That was typical Juneau meeting at Elks hal' last night and typical Juneau spirit was displayed It left no in the minds of everybody that Jul neau will subscribe the required $5O000 Tor capltal stock and the s15000 for that will be necessary to pay fof the site for the proposed cold storage plant The subscriptions the meeting totaed more than sl5 0OO That means that lot of money has Yet 70 be raised it will be. It means that practlcal! every one in town must subscribe for as large sum as he able to take it will be done Juneau has never yet failed to do hen part when task was set TOT her and she will not fail now.
 Juneau is the commercial center of Southeastern Alaska the largest, richest and most important town in the Territory She leads in mining and trade; she has greater bank resources and more business than any other Northern community. It is now up to her 10 become the largest fresh fish market the most important fishing center of the North The first step toward that end the establishment of large cold storage plant here.

It isn't hard to tell when a man is making an ass of himself. He'll do enough praying.
 Once in a while you will run into an old fashioned man who saves up his whiskers all week and gets bar bered every Saturday night.
 A woman doesn't feel comfortable unless she has her No. , feet squeez- ed into a pair of No. shoes.
 Another reason why a man hasn't as much sense as a woman is because he wears the heel of his shoe on the heel of his shoe and not in the middle of the shoe
