People Of the World.


The total population Of the earth
Is 1896, ,0O0. 900, according to the latest
edition Of the Gotha Hofkalender. The
1919 estimate was 1,646.OO0,000. The
eastern hemisphere, including Europe.
Africa, Asia and Australia, has 1,494,-
000, 900 people, while the Western hem
isphere-the Americas-has a popu-
larion Of 2O5.OO0.O00.
The average density Of population
Of the earth is 2S.5 per square mile.
while Australia is most sparsely set
tled-2.45 people per square mile. In
North America the average population
per square mile Is Is.
The greatest uncertainty exists as
to the population Of Persia, Abyssinia
and the Congo, estimates differing from
100000 to 100000, 100000 to H.
600, 900 and from 100000 to 10000
600 respectively, SO that the total diff
ference between the lowest and high
est estimates is 14,000,O00 That diff.
ference is insignificant compared with
a total population of nearly 1.7OO, ,OO0,.
600.

Perhaps it is hypercritical Of US.
Riding in a limousine is a magnificent
and awful thing, and how should any
plain mortal be expected to endure it
without amendment, to his soul? Still,
from our sidewalk, we do observe and
protest, says New York Tribune. Can
no human being, even though to the
limousine born, learn to ride in
closed car and avoid the closed face,
that blank, toplofty aloofness of ex-
preston SO alien to normal American
worry and cheerfulness? The limou-
sine look attacks any happy, laugh
Ing debutante or bank president the
instant the door slams and they sit
back in what is technically known in
motorcar literature as 'milady's draw
ing-room on wheels" 1t comes on or
off the face very much as do the de-
tachable tops that convert the ordi-
nary touring car of commerce into a
miniature palace fit to stand before
the blazing glory Of an opera house
with a uniformed attendant handing
IN very charming and expensive
wife.

The experiment stations are the
sources Of accurate, reliable agricul-
tural information. The progress being
made in agriculture in each state cen
ters around the experiment station Of
the state. The growth Of agricultural
colleges and the work of the extension
departments means that the expert
ment station must, with redoubled en-
ergy, continue investigational work.
This of course means that ample
funds must be provided by the state
for the support of the experiment sta
tions.

In Appreciation

The Idaho Springs chapter of the
Red Cross herewith expresses its sin
cere thanks for the untiring services of
DR.. A. D. Fraser. DIR. Fred H. Weber
and Dr. Mary Weber. These three ply
sicians examined all of the children in
our public schools, and found over 90
per cent normal The remaining 10 per
cent were cases of very minor defects,
and can be readily remedied by treat
ment and diet. In the cases of sight,
glasses are suggested. Several cases
showed defective teeth, which can be
properly corrected.
We believe Idaho Springs is indeed
fortunate in finding such large per
centage of normal children in our pub
lie schools. This survey undertaken by
the Red Cross was instituted by the
government and originated when the
various draft boards thruout the coun-
try found an appalling percentage OF
ineligibles due to physical defects
among the drafted men.
The committee also wishes to express
its thanks to D. E. Clark, superintend-
ent, for his able assistance, and to all
the teachers in our schools for their
cheerful cooperation: also to Miss Mary
Deis for her valuable services.

1t is said that American manufac-
turers are now in the position of be,
ing able to supply the toy demand Of
the country. This Is large and
important industry; in fact, there
are millions in it, and these millions
formerly went to Germany which had
the practical control of the toy mar

the children of the nation with neces-
sary amusement is now in the ma
TONS own hands is fact gratifying
at once to national feelings and ma

BLESSED eY A BULL FIGHT.

Jane Addama went once to q bull
fight In Spain. She saw five bulls
killed and as many horses. When her
friends expressed tkeir surprise at her
Indifference to- the Moody sport, she
said she had not thought much about
it. Then she began to think. The
more she thought. the more her con-
science troubled her. She had been
contemplating engaging in some form
Of social work. 1t suddenly was i'm
pressed upon her that she had been
lulling her conscience to sleep by
dream Of service that was remain
ing only dream, that she was not
really in earnest. 1t was the memory
Of her attitude of Indifference to the
bull fight that acted as a mirror
to her soul and stirred her to action,
says Our Dumb Animals. She re-
turned to America. and the famous
Hull House Of Chicago came into be-
ing. This is the only good thing we
ever heard as connected with a bull
fight, except when the tortured bull
got even with his torturers.

It is said persistent efforts are be-
ing made to smuggle Bolshevist
propaganda into the Unitetd States,
and that they are at work in other
countries. How their missionary work
can accomplish anything In the face Of
the miserable failure of their doc
trines In Russia itself, 1t is hard to
see. Common sense would suggest
chat Bolshevism is its own worst

BEST ARRANGEMENT OF HENS
Erroneous to Mate Male With Too
Many Females for Fertile Eggs
and Strong Chicks.

Avoid the error of mating male
with too many females. One male to
six or eight females of the American
breeds. or 10 or 10 of the Mediter-
raneans, will give a higher percent
age of fertile eggs and more vigorous
chickens than if half as many males
are used.
