The brides table was a dream Of

Of pink and white which were caught
in graceful loops and fastened to the

Under the bell stood little bride

Decrease.

There were 6.44s.366 farmers in
the United States in 1890. accord
ing to figures made public by the
Bureau of the Census.
or these. 5,4ss.S59 were white and
s50.0o7 were classified as colored.
OF the so-called colored. 926,257
were negroes. 1928 Indians. 6,sss
Japanese and 63S Chinese.
White farmers thus represented
s5.3 per cent of the total, which
is practically the same ratio as that
of 1910. During the ten years the
number of white farmers increased
IL per cent and the colored 80 per
cent.
The States which showed the
largest number of foreign-born
farmers in 1920 were: North Da-
kota. 46.7: Minnesota. 377; Connec-
ticut. 33.7; Washington. 29.S; Cali
fornia, 29.1. and Wisconsin, 2S.5.
The number OF foreign-horn farm
ers was less by $500 or 1872 per
cent. than in, 1910. The decrease
is largely the result of the war,
which led many to return to their
native countries. The decrease in
the number of German-born farm
ers alone was S1,14s.

COTTON FLIVVERS,
SEER'S PREDICTION
They'll Be Run by Coal Dust
And Glued Together, Says
Roger w. Babson.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Automobiles s.
made of cotton and driven by power
generated from coal dust are pos
sibilities of the not remote future.
Such radical departures may not
come Immediately, but until changes
almost as startling are made the
automobile business will continue
to suffer depression.
This is the opinion Of Roger w.
Babson, head of the statistical or
ganization bearing his name. He
says, in part:
The principal factor in the de-
cline of the automobile industry
has been the steady increase in the
price of gasoline. The car of the
future will be run by otner fuel.
Already the use of coal dust has
passed the experimental stage. In
my opinion, it will be used exten-
sively within a short time. The
coal dut is blown into the cylinders
under pressure and exploded by a
spark. A slight ash is formed
which falls out through the bottom
Vi the CYilnOtT-OT
the top, for the cylinders of the
coal dust engine are turned upside
down. 49,
Lighter cars must be manufac-
tured in order to cut down the cost
of manufacture and, maintenance.
Steel is too heavy for use In au-
tomobile construction and alumt-
