Some Lessons of the Census Returns

Municipalities from the Atlantic to the Paci-
tic are rejoicing these days over the census re-
turns that show how they have grown in popula-
ton in the last decade. With pardonable pride
they point to the thousands who have been added
to their population and with great acclaim they
proclaim themselves inhabitants of no mean city.
All of which is fit and proper. Why not?
Who would be so lukewarm in his parOchial 10y
atty as not to rejoice when thousands elect his
city as residence place?
But let's look at another side of the census
returns.
Population returns. released so far by the
census bureau, signify in unmistakable terms
that people are flockng to the cities in increas-
ingly large numbers.
They are forsaking rural communities, small
towns, farm homes, to reside in the congested
quarters of big industrial and commercial centers.
Why? Because the cities are enticing them from
the agricultural districts by the promise of
greater pay for shorter hours. That explains
the movement cityward
What is its effect?
Sons and daughters of farmers, hired laborers
on the farms, refusing to work long hours in the
agricultural industry, desert the farmstead for
the factory; the memorable result being that the
volume of farm products either will be reduced
because the farmer lacks workers to till his
fields, or the agricuturst will till only as many
acres as he can himself cultivate. With reduc-
ton in the acreage and in the volume Of farm
products will come still further increases in the

Small posts were responsible for this resolu- ton. presenting it on the grounds that they were outvoted by the larger posts. The committee reported favorably OH this matter, and its stand was adopted by the convention after several delegates had protested against it from the floor. The vote was not unanimous however, a num- Der of delegates voting no, on the motion.
 Bureau of War Risk Insurance was the next speaker to be introduced, and he was enthusiastically welcomed by the delegates.
 Colonel Jones told the delegates of the work which is now being conduct ed by the Bureau in Washington, and
 described the great organization which has been built up. He said that there are 19.00o disabled veterans in 1000 hospitals in the United States today, and few of these hospitals are owned by the government. According to Colonel Jones. the hospital problem
 is the greatest task which the gov i ernme ent is now facing as the result of the war. and the non-government t ownership of these institutions is proving very unsatisfactory.
 Through authority gained by the | last session of Congress, two National Soldiers homes, one at Johnson i City, Tenn, and the other at Marion, Ind, are now being converted into 1 hospitals for the care of disabled 1 men. At the present time there are i 5000 veterans suffering from men, | tai and nervous disorders and a like number are victims of tuberculosis. Colonel Jones informed the conven- 1 tion that many complaints have been received in Washington regarding ex- l isting conditions at the government l hospital in West Haven, but he de- i clared these to be groundless.
