POPULATION is DECREASING.
Recent All-Russian Census Shows Loss
in Population.
Grund I,Idg- nth a Logan. Denver
% Years Satisfactory Service

The recent all-Russian census under
Bolshevist rule, only partially com
pleted, shows that the population Of
Russia has decreased considerably
since the beginning of the revolution
according to an article in the Kras.
naia Gazette Qted Gazette). Although
the census took place on August 28th
no complete returnsEare -Hvailable yet
'The census continues the article,
"has been taken nearly all over the
country, with the exception of the

tion of the Kirghizes, Kalmucks and

Gently freed from the white armies.
Up to the present the central statisti-
cal department has received returns
from $40 counties, $40 cities and fifty
eight provinces.
From twenty-five provinces, includ-
ing the city of Moscow, complete re-
turns have already been received. On
the whole returns are still outstand-
ing from 45 per cent of rural districts
and % per cent of the cities. Never
.theless, the data already on hand af-
ford wealth of material for observ-
ing the changes in the distribution of
the population of soviet Russia. y
First and foremost, the census es-
tablishes the indubitable fact that the
population of Russia has decreased
since the beginning Of the revolution.
For twenty provinces on which data
are obtainable for both periods the
census of 1917 gave total population
Of 30,0O0O00. The census of August
28th, 1920, however, enumerated only
27000,000 inhabitants, loss of 10 per
cent. And this Notwithstanding the
fact that after the conclusion of peace
following the world war millions of
soldiers and war prisoners returned
to their homes. The cause of this is
that the mortality rate has grown
considerably, while the birth rate has
decreased during the years of war and |
revolution.
"a particularly great decrease has
been noted during the revolution |
among the city population. In the
aforementioned twenty provinces the
number of city inhabitants dropped
from. 100000 in 1917 to 3,80OOOO at
the decrease thus amounting
to 100000 persons, or 1872 per cent.

FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS

| met a friend one summer day,
When earth and sky were wondrous
fair,
We journeyed on our pleasant way,
Without a thought of future care.
All nature smiled. The lark's sweet
trill
Came drifting down the long white
road;
Our footsteps Jagged, we reached a
hill,
The sky oerhead grew gray and
cold. (
A threat of rain was in the air, :
TIL lark's sweet song had died away !.
A crash of thunder doomed some !.
where,
And night was mistrss of the day.. (
The road lay long and white and still
Beneath the beat of falling rain,
And in the shadow of the hill
For my dear friend looked in vain!
Oh, friend, when bitter days are here
(Thank God, they do not always
stay,
Oh, friend who smiles when skies are
clear,
Where do you hide when skies are
gray. Clara S. McCullen.
