What the Census Tells.

The figures of population of the
United States in the year 1920 have
been made public and a comparison
with the figures of 1910 will furnish
as many kinds of useless but interest
ing Information as could be pleaned
from the answers to Edson's ques-
tious The following facts may not
help us any ia our business but they
are worth knowing namely:
That there are two million more
men than women in this country.
That the smallest state in the un-
ion Nevada is the one where the
largest proportion of men to women
will be found. and that it is growing
smaller;
That three states have decreased in
population since 1910, namely; Neya-
da. Cby 4.41S). Mississippi (by g.
1850. Vermont (by $3.50, the per-
centage of loss being respectively:
5.45 per cent O.30 per cent, and
0.96 per cent.
That Nevada. with 77,407 popula-
ton, has as much voting power In the
L. :. Senate as New York with TO-
I 3S5.227 or 1874 times as much popula
| ton. and will continue to have as
much power If it continues to grow
smaller and New York continues to
grow larger:
That, however. no ore IL worrying
over this fact, nor over the further
fact that % states with total popula
ton of less than 90 millions, can out
vote in the senate 29 states with a
population of more than 50 millions;
That in 10 states there are more
Indians than negroes;
That in two states (South Carolina
and Mississippi there are more ne
groes than whites;
That there are Chinese in every
state and Japanese in every state but
one
That the figures show decrease
of 22.724 in the number OF Indians
in ten years. but that these figures
are deceptive, in as much as whites
with a small fraction of Indian blood
were classed as Indians in 1910 and
are classed as whites In 1920;
That the negroes have decreased in
10 years by 635. $50. the ratio OF 10
crease Co.'S per cent? being the low
est on record.
That in six southern states-Flori

Scurry county grew SOhlE water
melons this year The only regret
is that we did not grow more OF
them. as the Chamber of Commerce
has a good market for them in car
lots in the Denver. Colorado, terri
tory. The local demand has been
so great that most of the growers
have been able to sell without look
isr for an outside market. Several
of thosc who have grown CONNER
cial crops have already realized more
than $50 per acre from their melons.
one man has sold $50 worth from
two acres with another $50 worth
in prospect This certainly does
better than other things we know OF.
Prospects are for a much increased
acreage for next year with we'll
organized association to handle the
crop.

MYSTERY o
"DENOCNMENTED

Several weeks ago Miss Lorraine
Lindsey. the L. s. Fire Lookout on
Medicine Bow Peak. reported a
smoke on radial 90. She noted the
smoke rising for fifteen minutes and
reported it. whereupon it ceased. No
fire was found and the occurrence
Of the smoke was a mystery. 1t was
suspected at the time that the smoke
was caused by moonshining activity.
Information h:A reached the local
Forest Office to the effect that such
is the case. An unknown party who
has eluded capture for some time so
smooth in his work. and who has
come to be known as the "Mysteri-
Gus Moonshiner of Mill Creek is
credited with making the smoke. Ac-
cording to report he ran out of gaso-
line. which he had beer using for
fuel, and was forced to use wood thus
making the smoke which Lookout
Lindsey picked up"

oil. In other words. the refining
company is making most OF the
money out Of the production Of the
state.
First Move to Correct Situation
THE first action taken toward Sc
curing a fairer price for Wyoming
crude oil was by George E. Brimmer,
general counsel OF the Reasoning Oil
CO. known as a subsidiary Of the
Prairie Oil & Gas Co., the big Stand
ard Oil producing and purchasing
company in the mid-continent field,
who filed a complaint with Cover
nor Carey Of Wyoming on existing
| prices Of oil in that state.
AT 90 cents a barrel, Salt Creek
production is the cheapest crude oil
in the country. In quality 1t ranks
with Pennsylvania crude. but the
comparison stops there. as Pennsyl-
vania crude is quoted at 81. Mid
continent crude, to which Salt Creek
production is superior, is quoted at
$3.50 a barrel.
"A price for Wyoming crude SINH
lar to mid-continent would be re-
garded as fair by stockholders of the
producing properties. There is more
gasoline in most Of the Wyoming
crude oil output than in m~id-contin-
ent crude and it's lubricating quail
ties are higher.
Briefly the situation is one
where the refining companies have
had all the advantage to the detri-
ment of shareholders of such COM
panies as Salt Creek Producers.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

Two hundred and fifty members
of the American Legion, headed by
Franklin D'Olier, former national
commander, and representing every
state and every branch of service,
will sail for France August 3 on
pilgrimage to the former battle zone
of the world war.
The pilgrimage is at the instance
of President Millerand, who on be-
half of the French Government, in
vited the American Legion to send
representative delegation of form
er service men to attend the unveil-
ing of the Flirey monument and to
participate in series of events plan
ned especially for the Americans.
The Flirey monument at Flirey,
France, is tribute of the citizens by
that town and Lorraine to the valor
of the American troops who deliv-
cred their soil from German occu-
patton. Flirey is in the old Toul
sector and once was the regimental
headquarters of several American di-
visions.
A replica of the Flirey monument
was presented recently to President
Harding by Ambassador Jusserand,
who at the same time transmitted
President Millerand's invitation to
the American Legion through its ma
tional commander, John G. Emery,
! Because of stress of Legion matters
in this country, Mr.. Emery will not
go to France with the Pilgrimage,
/ having selected Mr.. D'Olier for the
| leadership.
! A trial trip of the american
LEGION" the new 21,0OO ton twin
screw passenger cargo liner of the
MunsOn Lines, was the occasion for
gathering of Amrican Legion Off
claIs from Eastern States, The trip
lasted two days. 1t started from
| Camden, n. j., ann ended in New
York. The ship was built for the
United States Shipping Board by
the Munson line for service between
New York and South America.
The 250 members of the American
Legion who tour France this sum-
mer as guests of the French Govern
ment will visit the battle-scarred
town of st. Die, we'll known to
Americans who served on the old
Luneville front. Not many of the
defenders of St. Die knew at the
time that they were defending the
house in which America got it's name.
In st. Die lived the Alsation monk,
! Waldsee-Muller, whose suggestion
1t was that the Western Continent
take the name of the navigator,
Amerigo Vespucci.
Marshal Foch, who is coming to
the United States this fall to attend
the national convention of the Amer
lean Legion at Kansas City. will meet
the American Legion delegation in
France this summer, If possible he
will receive the Legionaires in the
old house in which he was born. The
house is in the Pyrennes and the
Legion men will mark it with a
memorial tablet,

1922 AUTO TAGS


Secretary of State Smith has an
nounced that the figure on the state
automobile license tage for next
year will be raised on battleship
gray background. The figures will
be Persian blue. The 1922 tags will
be shorter than those this year. Nu-
nerous complaints were registered
elaiming that the 1921 tags were too
long.
Underneath the license number,
which will be at the top of the tag,
will appear in smaller letters, "Qhio
1892" In order to make the number
easier to read, the numeral on tags
possessing five or more figures,
periods VII. separate the figures.
The 1922 Cags cost the state II
cents pair, as against 13 cents per
pair for last years tags.
