OF EVERY RACE AND TONGUE
All Peoples OF the Earth Represented
In tho Millions Seeking Homes
In This Country.

Armies equal In size to the one we
sent to France land every two years
on our shores, and at the present time
millions are said to be waiting to en-
ter. Since 1900 more than thirteen
million immigrants have entered this
country, and approximately one-third
Of our present population of more
than one hundred millions are immi-
grants or the children of immigrants.
Two-thirds Of the population Of New
York state and three-fourths Of that
Of our great cities are foreign born
or the children of foreign-bon par
ents. From a fourth to a half Of the
population of the large cities Of the
South are negroes. Already we are
the most heterogeneous people on
earth; here are found representatives
Of every race and tongue and culture
in the world, and still they continue
to come In enormous numbers. 1t Is
doubtful whether any other migration
In the history OF mankind compares
In magnitude with that which has been
converging ON America during the past
twenty years. The sources and mag
nitude of this migration are indicated
by the following general summary:
OF more than thirty million persons In
this country who are foreign born or
the children of foreign-born parents
there are from eight to nine million
Germans, four to five million Irish,
about three millions from Great Brit
ain, about three million Slavs, from
two to three million Scandinavians,
more than two million Italians, and
about two million Hebrews, while all
other races and nations constitute
about FIVE millions.-Edwin Grant
Conklin, In Scribners.

II "hoppers" Modified.

There are not enough birds, experts
say, to clean up full-strength inya-
sion of grasshoppers such as the west
ern farmers have come to dread, ac-
eording to the American Forestry Mag
azine, but the birds assist materially
In the efforts by man to control the
pest. OF twenty-seven species of birds
examined, twenty-five were grasshop-
per eaters. In nineteen of the species
all of the individuals collected had
given grasshoppers place on their
menu. The birds having the best rec
ords are the lark, sparrows, meadow
larks, Franklin gulls, Arkansas king
bird. crow, blackbird and the common
kingbisd.

BILL and the packer control bill.
Then, too the War Finance Corpor-
alton has been revived and an in
crease made in the capitalization OF
land banks. The War Finance Corp
grafton has been authorized to adj
vance up to billion dollars 60 aid
agricultural exports.
President Harding has been pres
ident for only six months, but the
majority of the promises made have
already been kept, and the others
are being worked on but take time
and study President Harding in
recent letter to Senator Medill Nc
Cormick states that the appropria-
tions for the current fiscal year will
total three-quarters of a billion
dollars less than the expenditures
for last year, billion and half less
than the last administration asked
of Congress and three billions less
than were appropriated for the
second preceding fiscal year.
"Then, here in this campaign book
is a promise to enact budget law.
That law was promptly passed and
was signed by President Harding and
under its provision the various de-
partments of the Government are
working in harmony so that two or
,onra dana ~ r,ants will not ho onoud-
ing money for the same kind OF
work, and the money of the taxpayers
will be saved.
Here again is a pledge TO revise
the immigration laws so that we will
have a better class of immigrants.
That pledge has also been kept by
the enactment of law which Pres
ident Harding has signed.
Another important pledge made
by the Republicans last year was
liberal legislation for the care of the
disabled and infirm veterans of the
European War. When the Repub-
licans came into power in March
there were thousands of disabled
veterans who were not able to secure
the hospital attention or the vo-
cational training 20 which they were
entitled This evil has been REM
edied and the soldier relief agencies
have been consolidated so that the
claims of soldiers can receive prompt
attention.
1.-TWO of the most difficult tasks
the Republicans undertook were the
revision of the tariff and internal
revenue laws. Bills on these two
subjects have already passed tho
House, and Senate Committees are
now working on them and will have
them ready for action soon after the
end of the present recess.
There has been no regular ses-
sion of Congress since the Repub-
licans came into power. This is a
special session and II has passed
more constructive legislation than
any other session of Congress in the
same length of time. You are alb
solutely right in telling your play
mates that the Republicans have
kept their promises. You can also
safely tell them that the Democrats
broke every promise they made in
the campaign by which they came
into power in 1913"

LOOKING Ahead.

Here is a new Northclifre story
from "The Mirrors of Downing
Street" The eminent editor had a
caller who raised his hat and made a
profound bow to the elevator boy as
the two men, Northcliffe and his
friend, went up to the editors rooms.
When they came down the friend
again raised his hat and bowed low to
the boy. Northcliffe demonstrated with
him.
"You shouldn't joke with these
boys" he said. 1T makes discipline
difficult"
"Jokel" exclaimed the caller. Good
heavens, 1 wasn't joking. How do l
know that tomorrow that boy will not
be the editor of the Daily Mail"

New Orleans Anniversary.

In 1923 the two hundredth ami
versary of the formal elevation of
New Orleans to a capital city, with
the historic Place d'Armes as Its civic
center, will be celebrated, and by that
time 1t is hoped not only to have

also to duplicate the ceremony which
marked the occasion as memorable as
any In American civic history.

ADMINISTRATION
MAKES GOOD
HOW REPUBLICAN PROMISES
HAVE BEEN KEPT WITH on
LY SIX MONTHS IN OFFICE

Here's the book. Now you can
see for yourself and tell me what
President Harding and the republi-
can party have done to keep those
PROMISES" One of Jacks play
mates, who was always a good friend
but a son of strong democrat, had
found a republican campaign book
with the promises made by the re-
publican party before election as to
what would be dore IL tina. party
came into power. He had heard
his father talk and was of the firm
opinion that these promises had not
been kept, but, as usual, Jack was
ready for him.
''All right" said Jack. Suppose
you hold onto that book while 1 go
get Uncle Ted. You know, and so
does everyone else around here
know, that Uncle Ted tells the truth.
He will tell you about everything in
there"
So Jack was off on a run for the
garage where Uncle Ted was work
ing on his car. uncle Ted, Johnny
is out in the yard with a book of
republican promises, and he thinks
he is so funny, limiting that none or
them has been kept. Please come
KoIl 10
"Just when I'm covered with
grease, too" said Uncle Ted. But
all right. I'll come out, but let's
hurry up.
well, Johnny, let's start in on
these promises. Let me have the
book and I'll read one for a start
err. First of all we were promised
that there would be a plan for an
association of nations to promote
peace and disarmament that we
could join without losing our honor
and independence"
What's been done about that?"
asked Johnny.
First of all we are participating
in the allied council as listeners +,
and President Harding has called the
great disarmaments conference, the
first practical move towards real
peace in the history of the world.
Here is another: We were prom
Used that conditions surrounding the
loans we made to foreign countries
would be settled. The Senate is now
working on a bill which will give the
Secretary of the Treasury the nee
essary power to make those settle
ments. We were also promised that
peace between the United States and
Germany would be established
promptly. The Knox-Porter peace
resolution was approved by the Pres
ident July 2. Germany has since
signed treaty of peace, and all that
remains is for the Senate to confirm
the treaty which will be done prompt
ly when they reconvene."
But thought we were going to
have small army and the best navy
in the world" spoke up Johnny.
Johnny" replied Uncle Ted, ''the
army has been cut to $1,000 men,
and the 1916 navy program VIII
stand as it is until after the arma-
ments conference, at least That is
SOME reduction in the army and a
real saving too.
Then you all remember that a
real effort to help the farmers OF the
country was pro.Lised. That has
been kept by the finest lot of relief
bills ever passed through Congress.
Some of them include the emergency
tariff act, the Capper grain exchange

Fare Of woodchuoks

Woodchucks sit on their launches
and eat with their fore feet. Farmers
have a good right to be their enemies,
as not only do they eat quantities Of
clover, but tramp it down besides to
no little extent, says the American
Forestry Magazine. They consume and
destroy quantities of young green corn
and melons.

 O'Flannigan if Ireland

Paris, Jan. 27.--Eamonn dc Valcra has beer found somewhere in France" by q correspondent of tho newspaper Ocurtc. There havo been persistent rumors that De Valera was in Paris but inquiry yesterday failed to elicit any information as 70 his whereabouts except that in Irish cir Cles assertion was made that it was believed he was Tn Ireland
 In a conversation with the corrc- spondent De Valera is quoted as say ing:
 II left America because at time when the English seek by an inn placable policy of terrorism to fright en our people and weaken our moral force it is the manifest duty of the chief of the IIish nations representa- lives to be among his compatrots. Really it was greatly to the adVant- age of Ireland that I remain i3 America"

FORD TRACTOR PRICE CUT.
Reduction is $165-Prices May Rise
 If Big Sales Fail.

Detroit, Jan. PA reduction of $L65 in the price of Fordson tractors. effective imm ediately, is announced by Edsel B. Ford. president of the Ford Motor company The tractor formerly sold for $790 and has been listed under the order at 3625.
 This price change has been made possible through lower costs ct rla- terials and the fact that we arc now located in our new tractor plant with greatly increased ocononnI.: 1nanurao- turing facilities in im-nc liat> cunnev- tion with our foundry and machine shops and large blast furnaces" MT. Ford said.
 There is no change in present Ford car and truck prices, which are already at the lowest possible figure. and now, with rock bottom reached in the tractor price, q further reduc- tion in price of either the car, truck or tractor is out of the question. In fact. tho big price cuts have been made in anticipation of continuous maximum production. and increases may be necessary before long if large volume of new business Is not obtained. Therefore present prices of Ford products cannot be guaran- teed against possible fncrca se<.''
