TRENTON. March 1S.-The sec
retary of state today officially an
nounced the receipt of the census
figures by counties for New Jersey
from the federal census authorities
showing that the total population, as
the result of the 1920 government
count of the people in this state is
3,155,900 residents. Comparisons
made with the census figures for
1915, taken by the state, in 1910. by
the federal authorities and in 1905 by
the state indicate that every five
years New Jersey jumps approx
mately 100000 in population. The
increase in 1920 over 1915 was 311,-
was 61S,733. There was an advance
of 1,011,766 in men, women and
children during the fifteen-year pc
riod from 1906 to 1920. Figures for
the three counts of population which
compared with the 1920 census, fol-
low: 1915, 2,S44.S42; 1910, 2,537,-
167; 1905, 2,144,134.
AS the result of the 1920 figures,
one county, Cape May, will lose its
present classification. 1t is now list
ed as a third class county which en-
braces all divisions OF the state hav-
ing populations ranging from 10000
to $4,000. However, since the 1915
census, which showed Cape May
county to have 24,407, she has slip
ped back to 19.460, according to the
governments count. and, there
fore, falls back to the fourth class,
being the only county in the state
in this grade.
Four other counties showed de-
creases in population as compared
with the state census of five years
ago. They are Hunterdon, Mon
mouth, Ocean and Sussex. All others
reported an advance, but with the
exception of Cape May none of the
twenty-one divisions of the state
moves out of its present classifica-
ton. Hudson and Essex still remain
as first class counties because such
has over 100000 people.
Because they range in population
from $4,000 to 100000 the follow
ing counties continue as in the Sec
ond class: Atlantic, Bergen, Burling-
ton, Camden, Cumberland. Mercer.
Middlesex, Monmouth. Passaic, I'm
ion.
These counties, which have be-
tween 10000 ano $4,000 people con-
tinue in the third class: Gloucester,
Hunterdon, Morris. Ocean. Salem,
Somerset. Sussex and Warren.
Fourth Class-Cape May. The
classification is outlined in the Act
of 1911 relating to this subject.
Following are the figures by coun-
ties with the ones for 1915 accom-
panying: Atlantic. S3,914-S2,S40

THE MOTOR TRUCK QUESTION

The Boston News Bureau calls the
attention of New England shippers to
the "saturnalia of motor truck COMPETE
ton which is spelling ruin to our rail-
ways and our highways BOTH" 1t warns
the people against Gripping their friends.
the railroads, by diverting shipments to
chat unregulated pirate ship, the motor
truck"
Discussion of the subject is timely, but
the remedy is not in discouraging the op-
Grafton of motor trucks. Far greater eff
ficiency in the transportation of freight,
particularly between cities not many
miles apart, is obtained through the use
of trucks. Greater flexibility of opera
ton permits loading of the goods direct
from the shippers establishment, and
their delivery to the door of the con-
signee, eliminating at least two han
dlings on every consignment. To assail
such an Improvement in service on the
ground that it is preiudicial to the rail
roads is as fundamentally wrong as it
would have been to attack the railroads
years ago because thew threatened the
stage coach business.
The remedy for the situation against
4NCWS COIuUldlIlS
lies in the taxing power of local, State
and Federal governments. Motor truck
transportation companies ought to paw
a far larger share of the cost of road
maintenance than they do at present.
One of the reasons whv they are able to
compete with the railroads is that they
get the use of roadbed for only nomi-
nal sum represented in taxes. while the
railroad has millions of capital invested
in its grades and rails. and has to spend
other millions annually for maintenance
of way. 1t will not be long before those
facts are recognized in everv State in
the Union, and appropriate action taken.
What the proper division Of road charg-
es should be between freight trucks. pas
senger machines. and the ordinary tax
payer who does not make direct use of
the road but benefits indirectly there
from, is something that investigation will
determine. 1t will vary, of course, with
the locality. and the classification of
traffic that goes over the road.

WEST MUST PRESENT AN UNITED
FRONT

There are so many great lines OF de-
velopment work carried on in the nation
that the west must present a solid front
if reclamation work is to receive the at
tention from Congress that it deserves.
The twelve great western states that
have millions of acres under irrigation
projects more or less completed and that
have hundreds of millions of acres of
land to reclaim must act as an unit.
In justice to the great undeveloped
west the Senators and Representatives
from these western states must act as
block whenever this suestion is touched
and public sentiment on this line is de-
veloping.
There must be unity of purpose and
consolidated action backed by a solid
front Of educated community thought in
each state-in fact there must be western
consolidated community unconscious
ness. ElsT Tz ar Sa-
This is the purpose Of the great re-
clamation organization that has been
formed at Boise, Idaho. with Governor
Davis at its head and with the solid
backing Of all the Executives of the west.
With such an organization backed by
public sentiment built up on broad lines.
not neglecting local reclamation prob
ems, the west can hold its own with At
lantic coast and southern state interests.

COMMON sENsED SHOES FOR CIR

The Department of Home Demon
stration of the Extension Division of
the Agricultural College has set it.
self the task of putting common
sense shoes on the feet of the wo-
men and girls of Utah, according to
Mrs. Rena b. Maycock, state leader
of home demonstrations. Already a
common sense shoe has been select
ed says Mrs. Maycock and projects
will be started in various sections
of the state to demonstrate its ad-
vantage over certain types which de-
form the foot and make walking I'M
natural
This common sense shoe is not
restricted to any one make of shoe
1t has both beauty and comfort. The
toe is round, the heel is broad and
low, with the line for the outer edge
OF the big toe about one half inch
outside of the inner edge of the
heel. The Extension Division experts
have recommended rubber heels for
walking and ballet slippers for dane
ing.
By cooperating with the dealers
this type of shoe will be carried in
stock as the dealers will naturally
keep the style of shoe the women
prefer. BY the adoption Of this style
of shoe the extension authorities
maintain that many of the foot ills
OF today and. in fact. many general
ills will be eliminated.
Already this project has been star
ted in Weber County and the wo-
men OF five communities have pledg-
ed themselves to buy sensible
shoes provided their dealers will car
ry them.

NEVER SMOKE IN BARN OR GAR
AGE

Ordinary friction matches should be
kept in safe receptacles, away from chill
dren, and never carried loose. Smoking
in barns and garages never should be
permitted. Fire marshals of Western Sta
ties report greater fire losses in grain
and straw the past season from care
lessly thrown matches, engine sparks and
automobile and tractor backfire than ev-
er before.
Buildings may be made safer by seeing
that the chimneys are without cracks
and free of SCOT, which may take fire
and scatter sparks on dry roofs. Flues
which may become hot should be covered
with asbestos and any nearby walls and
ceilings protected There should be a
sheet of metal under every stove.
Out of all the losses by lightning not
one was on building protected by light
ming rods. 1t is now definitely known
that lightning rods afford protection. If
installed intelligently they reduce the
risk from lightning almost to the vanish
ing point.
Precautionary measures will do much
to cut down loss that takes millions of
dollars out Of the possession of rural
Americans every year and leaves nothing
in its place. Prevention is better than re-
greet. Weekly News Letter.
Too many of the prospective inheri-
tances are not to be relied upon and our
advice to the boy or girl, man OF woman,
