The year 1921 was 50 taken up by

a discussion with regard to the worlds
greatest books was precipitated by an

what books would you select?" In the

DATA ON MARRIAGES
Proportion of Married Men Has
Gone Up, Says Census.
Probably More Indicative of Change In
Age Composition Of Population
Than Growing Propensity
to Matrlmony.

Washington.-The proportion of mar
ried men to the total male population
of the country fifteen years OF age and
over increased from sos per cent to
800 per cent in the ten years preceding
the 1920 census, according to u COIN
pilation of marital statistics made pub
lie by the census bureau.
The bureau believed, however, that
this was probably more Indicative of a
change in the age composition of the
population-an increase in the percent
age of males between fifteen and
twenty-five years of age due to in
creased immigration-than u growing
propensity to matrimony.
OF the total male population of 3d.
900, 431 above the ~tifteen-year classih-
cation the census figures showed 21,-
S40,266 married, LESBOS widowed and
235,2S4 divorced, the latter figure, how
ever, including none divorced and re-
married. The divorce total showed an
increase of 20 per cent in its ratio to
the total population during the ten
year period, constituting six-tenths of
1 per cent of the latter against five
tenths In 1910.
Although due to the absence Of the
wives of many foreign-born residents,
the number of married women was
shown to be about 100000 less than the
male total, the number Of divorced
women exceeded men by approximately
10000, representing closely the differ
ence between the number of men and
women remarked after divorce.
By states, Massachusetts led the field
in the proportion Of single women with
a percentage of 34.4, although the Dis
trict of Columbia exceeded this with
37.3 per cent. The census bureau point
ed out, however, hat the ratio of men
to women in the population naturally
has q very important bearing on the
proportions of single men and women"
Wyoming led with 70.5 per cent in the
proportion of married women, while
62.S per cent was shown for Mississippi
and Arkansas, and the smallest, 45.9
per cent, for Nevada.

Observing Author About Right When

In his book, 1.-THE Conquest of Fear"
Basil King says:
"Look at the people you run up

Every one is living or working in fear.
"The mother is afraid for her chill
dren. The father is afraid for his
business. The clerk is afraid for his
job. The worker is afraid of his boss
or his competitor.
"There is hardly a man who is not
afraid that some other nan will do
him a bad turn. There is hardly a
woman who is not afraid that things
she Graves may be denied her, or that
what she loves may be snatched away.
"There Is not a home or ar Office or
a factory or a school or a church in
which some hang-dog apprehension is
not eating at the hearts of the men,
women and children who go in and
out.
81 am ready to guess that all the
miseries wrought by sin and sickness
put together would not equal those we
bring on ourselves by the means which,
perhaps, we Do least to counterfeit.

are not SHINING all the time; but all
the time all of us-or practically all of
us-are afraid of some one or some

SCORE ONE MORE FOR NAVY
Damaged Replica Of Old Weasel, It
Ia Believed, Can Be- Repaired
by Sailors.

Percy C. Madeira, Philadelphia coal
magpare, has joined the ranks Of those
who have taken up the fad of collect
ing ship models. Madeira's experience
with the first model he bought, a
replica of the American clipper ship
Southern Cross, was an interesting
one. according to the New York Sun.
THIS miniature ship, 80 inches long,
tie coal operator obtained recently
through an agent at Nantucket, who
considered the purchaser lucky in
getting a genuine model at a reason
able figure.
The model, with all masts and other
spars in place and with rigging,
blocks, boats, ETC., as they should be.
was a handsome picture when it was
packed for shipment at Nantucket.
But when the fragile model reached
Madeira's home ii came out of the
packing case nearly wrecked. 1t had
been poorly packed and roughly han
died on the trip. Madeira looked at
the mass Of broken spars and.wreckage
and said things about the packer and
also the agent at Nantucket. He fig
ured the model little better than
matchwood and that it " could be
repaired.
He reckoned, however, without the
United States navy. He happened to
tell his troubles to a naval officer sta
toned at League island and soon
afterward the officer rang the coal
magnate up and said he thought he
had a man who could repair the
wreck.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
When asked for a statement on the
prospects of the farmer in 1922 Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace said
that no mar whose opinion is worth
considering would care to make any
hard and fast prophecies. He added,
however, that there are signs which
indicate that the coming year should
be a better one for the farmer and for
those who deal with him than was
1921. Among these hopeful signs he
mentioned the following:
Credit conditions are better both
through regular channels and through
the special agencies created to meet
the farmers needs. Interest rates also
are %softening.
Reductions already made in freight
rates on farm products tighten by
that much the transportation burden
which the farmer has been carrying.
Cost Of producing farm crops will
be lower relatively In 1922 than in
1921.
Very likely there will be a reduc-
ton In the acreage of some of the
grain Of which we now have such a
large surplus, and this should tend
toward better prices.
The paralyzing effect of the sudden
drop in prices last year is wearing
off, and farmers will enter the new
year more hopefully, believing that
the worst is EEL
Congress has indicated a willing
ness to enact such legislation as prom
Uses to be helpful.
Farmers are coming to see more
clearly that the task Of putting farm
ing on sound business basis is really
up to them and that through organiza-
ton they can reduce marketing costs.
In this they will have increasing help
from the Department Of Agriculture
and the various state agricultural COL
leges which now see better than be-
fore that they must give the farmer
the same sort of help in the marketing
of his crops that they have been CIV
ing him in the production.

Outstanding of the important part the
farmer plays in u general economic
scheme, and consequently a decidedly
more intelligent and sympathetic at
titude toward him and his problems.
With prices of farm products fall
ing and the future very' uncertain,
even those farmers who had money
laid by-and there are a large number
of such-have been restricting their
buying to what they had to have.
Now With the growing belief that
prices have hit bottom buying will be
resumed and should increase in vol
ume, and manufacturers and retailers
who make or sell things that farmers
need or want should have better busi-
ness this coming year.
\ Everything considered, therefore,
we can enter the new year in a spirit
of hopefulness and good cheer. 1 see
nothing which indicates boom times
for the farmer in the near future, but
there does seem to be promise OF
better times both for the farmer and
for those whose business is largely
dependent upon him.
