EMPTY PEws EXPENSIVE

A newspaper man of over sixty
years experience, ]. l.. Waite, editor
of the Burlington, Iowa. Hawk-Eye
is profoundly impressed by the mag
nftude of the opportunity to reach
and influence, through the secular
press, the great mass OF non-church
going people, and quotes a Minneapo-
lis minister, THE most expensive
thing about a church is an empty
pew, for it costs no more TO prepare
a service for houseful than a hand
full"
Regardless of the propriety of the
old attitude of dignified repugnance
to appealing to possible attendants
through the public prints. churches
are brought face to face with the
fact that a multitude of other inter-
ests are continually appealing to the
public for its attention and If relig-
ion would not be neglected by the
majority use must be made of the
same medium used by promoters of
other things-adyertising.
In the past churches have relied
entirely on personal solicitation and
such free reading notices as editors
felt it their duty to give them. That
this method is not eficacious in this

CANADA HAS STEADY GROWTH
Recent Census Shows Healthy In
crease in Population, Despite
Losses Caused by War.

Canada's census for 1921 indicated a
total population of S,769,4S9, distrib-
uted as follows: New Brunswick, 3S7,-
S39; Nova Scotia, 523,S ,S37 Prince Ed
ward island, SS,615; Quebec, 2,349,-
OCT; Ontario, 2,929O54; Manitoba,
613,OOS; British Columbia, 523 1868 i;
Yukon, 4,162; Northwest territories,
6,6S4, and Canadian navy, 4S5. The
gain for the whole Dominion during
191O-192O, was 100000 or 21.5 per
cent. The war cost the lives of 56,6S0
Canadians killed in action, while 49,
900 more died from indirect causes.
The percentage increase in population
is the same as that for Australia, while
the increase for New Zealand 20 per
cent was very little behind. In the Union
of South Africa the increase was 1872
per cent The Prairie provinces made
the most pronounced gain in Canada,
Alberta showing SO per cent in
crease; Saskatchewan over SO per
cent, and Manitoba, 33 per cent. For
the next ten years the unit of distribu-
tion for determining the membership
of parliament will be So $50. This total
is arrived at by dividing by 65 the
population of each province.

GOLD TEETH OUT OF STYLE
Present Trend Is to Preserve Tooth
and Make 1t Look as Much Like
Original as Possible.

Gold teeth are going out of style,
according to practitioners and dental
experts The present trend is to pre-
serve the tooth to make it look as
near as possible like it was originally.
If this can't be done the offending
molar or incisor must be pulled out.
The idea of pulling teeth IS some
thing comparatively new in american
dentistry. The tendency was to save
the tooth at all costs. But dentists
have discovered that gold crowns are
unhealthful and permit foreign matter
to get into the teeth.
Bridge work also is not as pOpu-
lar as it once was. To make a bridge
two good teeth were filed down as
anchors for the mass of gold in be-
tween. If the bridge failed the two
good teeth on the ends went with 1t.
Now dentists recommend plate of
false teeth instead of the bridge.
These being removable, are easily
kept clean. The dental science is now
spending its energies more on serv-
iceable plates rather than on bridges
or crowns.-New York Sun.

containing an American business firm.
1t would be impressive, wouldn't it?
1t would also give you an accurate
idea of the number of business fail
ures since prices began to tumble in
May, 1920, notwithstanding they
haven't tumbled so very much for some
things. But don't get gloomy over it.
Standing on curbstones watching their
brethren go to Dun & Rradstreet's
cemetery, are nearly 100000 business
organizations that have weathered the
storm. In two years of severe de-
preston only one business in every
fifty-three has failed. The percentage
of farmers that have gone broke is
larger. Business failures have totaled
about S60O,000000 year in liabilities.
Assets have averaged about enough to
pay so per cent on the dollar. The net
loss has been about S3OO,OOOOOO n

WAY TO CONTROL cocKLEBUR
First Essential Is to Prevent weed
From Maturing Seed-shadlns
Crops Also Helps.

The first essential in cocklebur con-
troll is to prevent the weed from ma
turing seed. If the infested field Is in
corn, the cultivation must be carefui'
killing all the plants possible with the
cultivator and finishing the others by
hand or with the hoe.
Thick growing, shading crops help to
control the weed Such crops as Sudan
grass, sorghum and even soy beans
and clover will reduce the burs. A
badly infested field or part OF heid
can be moved and burned. Fence
rows and other waste place should be
watched for stray plants which Will
mature seeds unless attended to.

HENS NEED ANIMAL PROTEIN

Those who have not learned by eX-
perience are apt to conclude, using the
pigs is pigs" reasoning, that protein
is protein whether 1t grows inside
hide or upon plant. But not all
proteins are alike and they do not
produce like results when taken into
the hens body. In a general way.
animal proteins and vegetable proteins
are alike in that both are nitrogen
Gus. but when the hen begins TO make
them into eggs she finds there are i'm
portant differences that cannot be
overcome. But she must have animal
proteins in some amount, no matter
how much of the other kind is avail
able. High vegetable-proteinf feeds can
replace some of the meat feed to adj
vantage but not more than one-fourth
to one-half of it.
Tests made by the United States

Changes Into Decayed Mass.
In the early stages of the disease
the tubers are marked with brownlsh
or purplish spots which later become
shrunken, darker colored, and finally
purplish black. In advanced stages
the tuber sometimes changes into a
wrinkled, decayed mass. This rot
fungus opens the way for bacteria and
other fungi that work more rapidly.
All potato-growing regions are sub
iect to the disease when very moist,
cool weather prevails during the grow
ing season. 1t occurs frequently In
severe form In the New England
states, adjacent Canada, and the Pu-
get Sound district, and less frequent
ly, though often in severe form, In
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin. Minnesota,
Iowa, in the mountain districts of the
eastern and western states, and in
Florida on the early crop.
Insure Control In Field.
Since the tuber rot impairs germina-
tion. the chances of securing good
stand are greatly increased by plant
ing only disease-free seed, but the
only method to insure control in the
field is by spraying with bordeaux
mixture (5 pounds of copper sulphate
s pounds of stone lime, 80 gallons of
water). To get good results the plants
should be sprayed thoroughly and fire.
