IRISH EXODUS LESSENS
Seventy Eight Per Cent of Emigrants
 Head for America
By Associated Press

Dublin, January 1.-The emigration from Ireland during the first 10 months of this year is about half what it was months of the five years preceding the war. There were altogether 12,752 eml- grants of whom 7,S0S were women. There were 436S emigrants from Ulster. Seven weight per cent of the emgrants went to the United States

She Thought She Understood
 The World---And Its Men

So she left Peaceful Valley, vic tim of the sweet words of the city schemer. Then her brother fol- lows her, but never sees that sweet face among the city crowds. Stone-cold, stone-broke, despair ing, disillusioned, Hosiah Howe came back to the little home in Peaceful Valley. By day he had trudged the streets of stifling cities and by night he had scanned the misty figures in murky by ways, peering hopefully into painted faces, searching for the little sister who thought she understood the world-the flesh-the devil!
 Drama-real, sheer drama! And on top of it comes laugh that whips back the tears just in time.

EDGAR FIRST ENGLISH KING
Why 1t Is Incorrect to Give Honor to
Egbert, as Some Historians
Have Done.

Egbert is frequently, but incorrect
ly, called the first king of England"
He became king of Wessex, the land
of the West Saxons in 800 A. D., and
before he died, in $3.50 A. D., he had
made himself overload of all the other
Anglo Saxon kingdoms He was new
er, indeed, directly, king of all Eng
land. Kent, Sussex, and Essex were
governed by rulers of his own family,
appointed by himself Mercia, East
Anglia, and Northumberland retained
their own kings, ruling under Egbert
as their overload. In this way, to
quote the words of John Richard
Green, in his "Short History of the
English People," 1.-THE whole English
race in Britain was for the first time
knit together under single ruler
Long and bitter as the struggle for
independence was still to be in Mer-
cha and in the north, yet from the
moment that Northumbria bowed to
its West-SaxOn overload England was
made, in fact. if not as yet in name"
1t was not until the year $50 that
Edgar (944-975), became king of a
united England.

Why Manners Are Important.

Manners are pleasant deceit-a
conspiracy to rob existence of much
Of its crudity.
Because of them the elusive ele-
ment of charm fingers in the world,
and gentler natures are encouraged
in their robust growth.
A lot of efficient people, though,
have discarded manners as so much
unnecessary impediments.
Why rise when lady enters the
room? Why appear interested when
others talk? Why ask to be remem-
bered to the people you have hitherto
forgotten? Why thank anyone for
giving you what you have paid for?
There is not much reason or logic
behind it all. 1t is merely that with
the finer natures there is an instinc-
tive courtesy that expresses itself in
manners.
Just as with so many others there
is an instructive lack of courtesy
which finds expression in boorishness.
Manners are not useless.
They prevent you from giving
thoughtless hurt to others. They
make you remain silent when Chopin
is being played.
Good manners come from a good
heart.-London Express.

thru our votes who these men who repre-
sent us shall be. If we are Indifferent to
these duties, we shall get Indifferent rep
resentatives. If we stay away from the
polls on election day, what right have we
to complain? Is the primary farce, or
benefit7 That depends on how we use it,
When not over 20 per cent of the people
vote at the primaries it is farce, but it
fully utilized, its efficiency or error would
be demonstrated. l have long believed
there should be law which would COM
pei every man, and now every woman as
well, to 60 to the polls and cast his or her
ballot at least at each regular election
under penalty of Imprisonment or heavy
line for not doing SO, unless the voter
whose name was not checked on election
day could present to the proper official a
certificate of a reputable physician that
the health of the individual would be en-
danGered thereby. 1t should be the sworn
duty IF some officer to examine all vot-
ing lists after each election and enforce
the law without fear or favor. Under
such law the man who stands on the
street corner with hand outstretched
waiting to sell his birthright for paltry
sum would be compelled to 60 to the polls
of his IN volition, and both he and So
ciety would be bettered thereby. The
new nation, Czecho-S lovakia, has such
law and in this respect is in advance of
the older nations, ourselves included The
view point of the individual who would
barter away the sacred privilege afforded
by God and man needs to be guided to
higher plane and such a law would
serve toward that end. The remedy
seems simple one, easily applied and
fraught with promising results.
Our own legislature is in session this
winter. Is there not some one who would
be sufficiently interested to father such
an effort?
l have suggested few of the evolu-
tionary neutrality-suspicious. revolutionary
and impractical to some-uppermost in
my mind regarding the points touched
upon and pass them on for your analysis
as to their worth, much or little as view
ed from your angle of reasoning shall
not feel at all affronted at any criticism
of any suggestion, how ever pointed and
opposite that may be. We are looking
at these things from our own position
and standpoint which each one has a
perfect right to do.

KNOWS GOVERNMENT NEEDS

Under appointment by President Nc
kinley, Congressman William E. Andrews
OF Nebraska served for Is years as Audi
tor for the Treasury Department until he
entered the House in the present Con-
eress. During that long period of Federal
service he acquired knowledge of the
operationss of the administrative depart
ments of the Government that makes his
views on the pending bill for their reorgan-
lzation of special value. He is convinced
that substantial economies can be real
lied through the elimination of duplica
tion of work among the various Federal
bureaus. Through central accounting
system which could list expenditures for
duplicate services from the vouchers on
which such payments are made, Mr..
Andrews believes joint committee of
the two Houses of Congress could locate
such Implications, measure their SCOPE,
and make suitable provision for their
elimination.

Why Birds Are Superior.

ut is true that man makes longer
journeys than BIRDS" remarks Frank
NJ. Chapman in his book 1.-The Travels
of Birds" "But it also is true he
could not make them without help
from other men. He might walk where
there was land, but he would need days
to go as far as bird could 60 in an
hour. And when he comes to the sea
he requires a sailing vessel or steamer.

aid him in finding the way; while in

Fish and Game-192O

Willis E. Parsons. commissioner of in
land fisheries and game, in his annual
report declares that the unusual number
of summer visitors of the preceding year
seemed to continue without abatement
during the past season of 1920, and it is
estimated that not less than half a mill
lion non-residents during the summer
months found their way by train or auto
mobile to Maine.
'This large influx of non-residents,
taken with the residents who are fisher
men, make severe drain on many of the
lakes of the State, but the department is
putting forth every effort to enlarge the
output of the hatcheries, to re-stock
these ponds and streams as fast as DOS
sible, and also to protect the game so that
those who remain for fall shooting will
not be disappointed" said Commissioner
Parsons.
ut was thought that more deer were
killed the past year than the preceding
veal, and yet the consensus of opinion
among the guides, as shown by their re-
cent reports is that the deer are not only
holding their own but are ON the increase.
The law prohibiting the consumption of
deer in lumber camps has proved most
salutary as there have been few violators
among the lumbermcn; neither have there
been many attempts by residents to ship
deer out of the State. The increase of
travel and larger number of sportsmen
coming to Maine for big game, however,
| make heavy draft upon the deer.
''It is estimated from the best data
obtainable that 10000 deer were killed
during the season of 1919 and as many
more during the past year.
MOOSE
Moose are not holding their own, but
are surely decreasing in numbers, accord
ing to the data received. 1t is estimated
that not less than ESQ moose--some set
the figures at 300-have been slain in
each of the past two years. This is GER
tainly destroying them faster than they
incr ase, and will result in few years
at most in making this monarch of the
Maine woods practically extinct.
'If the moose are to be saved another
closed season should be placed upon them
and sportsmen be content in shooting
them only with the camera and expend
their energies in still hunting the deer, or
stalking the bear, to which there is no
limit, one sportsman getting three bear
the past season in one day. Moose, if
they can be preserved, will remain great
attraction among the wild life of Maine.
The caribou has gone-shall we save the
moose7"

The Rummage Sale Is a Worthy
Institution

Did YOU ever attend one? Here on
table is old Browns silk hat that
he wore to church many years, and
now that he's gone it has been sent
by his family to the rummage sale to
be disposed of for the benefit of the
church.
And there on the counter Is en-
old china pug dog that used to guard
the mantelpiece in somebody's house.
And on a rack hangs the Prince Al
bert coat that some fellow wore when
he was married and which his wife
kept as treasured thing through the
years; now she has given it away be-
cause the sentiment attached to it
finally is dead like last years leaf.
They are handy institutions, these
rummage sales, enabling one, as they
do, to give away for good purposes
what he no longer needs, or wants or
cares for He holds on to such things
a long time and then one day he gets
tired of seeing them around and away
they go to the rumamge sale, the sec
ond-hand store and the rag shop.
But the rummage of minds and char
acters most people hold on to and cher
ish forever observes the Haverhill
(Mass.) Gazette. To their dying day
they keep old and WORKOUT prejudices
and fight hard for them. They keep
fast to habits, knowing they are bad,
but lacking the will or the courage to
throw them off.
The next time you gather together
your old clothes for the rummage sale
and have packed them all in one bun
die, suppose you say to YOURSELF
Lets see, what have left out? What
passions, prejudices and habits are lit
tering up my mind and character?"
You will not be able to get rid of
this rummage as easily as you can dis
pose of your old clothes, but once hav-
ing taken stock of it you will know
yourself better. The first step to self
Improvement is to become acquainted
with your defects.
