Census Shows Women
Leave Farms for More
Lucrative Employment

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. l.
Larger numbers of women than men
are leaving the farms in search OF
more lucrative fields of endeavor,
the census bureau says, basing its
statement on an analysis of the
1920 census statistics.
The enumeration shows the ratio
Of males to females was higher for
farm population than for the total
population. The sex ratio of farm
population on January l, 1920, was
1891 males to 100 females, while
the ratio TO rthe entire population
was 104 males to 100 females
OF the number Of farm dweilers'
totalling 81 ,614,269, males number
16,496,33S, and females 15,117, 93ls
Of the total farm population, 49'5
per cent was 81 years and over, 24.7
per cent between 10 and 20 years,
and 25.7 under 10 years.
Those 81 years and over number
ed 1862, 093. For the country as
a whole those 81 years and over
comprised SIS per cent of the total
population. The farm population,
therefore, includes a relatively large
proportion of persons under q and
a relatively small proportion Il
years and over.
The largest proportions of chill
dren and youth in the farm popula-
ton are shown for the southern
states and the lowest for the New
England states, New York, New
Jersey and California,

Scientists to Dig in
Garden Of Eden for
Trace of ROYAL CITY

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Marking a
step forward in international COZ
operation of scientific institutions,
Oxford university, of England, and
the Field Museum of National His
tory of Chicago have sent a joint
expedition to the region where tradi-
ton says was situated the garden of
Eden to rediscover the capital of
the Oldest dynasty in history, it was
announced today.
The excavators already are on
their way to Mesoptamia, bound for
the mounds known as Tell E,
Ohemer. eight miles east of Babylon,
beneath which the scientists say
lies the ancient royal city of I<ish.
The party left England under direc
ton of Professor S. H. Langdon,
head of the Assyrian department Of
Oxford. He is an American, born in
Monroe, Mich, in 1876, who was
graduated from the University OF
Michigan, Oxford and the Sorbonne.
The expedition will remain in the
east three years.
In excavating the 6,500year-old
city, the scientists expect to find
valuable history of the cultural life
of the earliest periods of mankind.
Kish maintained it's glory as CAPT
tai, from which for LOO years the
whole of western Asia was ruled, and
kept q prominent place until the
Babylonian empire crumbled in the
fourth and fifth centuries, E. c. The
civilizations of Mesoptamia have not
yet been represented in the collec-
lions of the Field Museum.

ought to have twice as many
chances as he had had before.
Most of that night Yowler spent
in watching Paddy and Mrs. Paddy
work, but he took the greatest care
not to let them know it. Not once
did he show himself. Not once did
he snap a twig or rustic a leaf.
He was back there the next night
and the next and the one after that.
He was studying the ways of Paddy
and Mrs. Paddy. When they went
off down to their old pond to rest
in their house and there, Yowler
went all over their new dam from
end to end. He studied the ground
and the surroundings at both ends
of it to see if there might not be q
chance to catch one of those Beav-
ers when they were at work on one
of the ends. But he couldn't find a
hiding place near enough, and SO he
wisely decided to wait.
When the dam was finished and
Paddy and Mrs. Paddy began to cut
their food supply and float the logs
and branches down to the new dam
and then drag them across Yowler
saw at once that this point on the
dam was the one place where he
might have a chance to catch a
Beaver dinner, and he at once be-
gan to plan it.

SWEDISH Inventor
HAS new OIL Light
Claims Whittier and Much Cheaper
Light Than Electric or Gas

Adison .,.oled us to enjoy the
benefits of electric light, Count
Welsbach's mantle made it possible
to have the incandescent gas light,
but it remained for Swedish engl-
neer named Johnson, now living IN
Chicago, to devise a lamp that would
burn ordinary, everyday kerosene Oil
and produce a light said by the
man. scientists who have seen 1t to
be whittier than electric. The lamp
is as simple. to operate as the old
style oil lamp, burns withor+ "7"",
smoke or noise and is proving a SEN
section where oil or light is needed.
M. Johnson offers to send a lamp
on ten days free trial and will even
give one I, the first user in each
locality who will help introduce it.
A letter addressed to B. I. Johnson,
Room 609 w. Lake ST., Chicago, Will
bring full particulars about this
wonderful new lamp. He has an in

j. s. To OFFER Die
REWARD IN Staying
Of MAIL CARRIER

It appeared probable Friday
morning that the statutory govern
ment reward of $4,000, offered I'M
der the United States penal code for
th2 apprehension Of all~postoffice
--~obers, would be paid for the cap
ture of the slayer of j. c. Langston,
Fairburn mail carrier, who was bru-
tally murdered several weeks ago.
This intimation. was made by post
office inspectors Immediately fol-
lowing the arrest of Melvin Brown
and George Waller in connection
with the case. Brown was taken in
custody near Fayetteville Tuesday
and is now being held in the Atlanta
Jail under a charge of suspicion,
while Waller was arrested in Co.
lumbus on Monday and is being held
on an old whisky charge.
Postoffice inspectors were reluct-
ant to make definite announcement
regarding the reward, simply stating
that there was a strong probabli-
that it would be paid, provided the
slayer could be convicted under the
federal statutes for robbery. They
said it has been definitely established
that a small amount of money be-
longing, to the government was re
moved from Langston's body.
Postoffice inspectors and Fayette
county officials were of the opinion
"Wednesday that the arrest of Wal
ter and Brown would assist mate

impenetrable mystery that has sur
rounded the killing of Langston. I

Suspicious folks I've always found
Are very fond of shopping round.
Paddy the Beaver.
Peter Rabbits interest in the new
pond of Paddy the Beaver deep in
the Green Forest was wholly a
friendly interest, the interest of GU
riosity. But there were others who
took an even greater interest in the
building of the new dam and the
making Of the new pond. One of
these was Yowler the Bob Cat. 1t
wasn't friendly interest that Vow
Ter took. Oh, my, no! 1t was any
thing but a friendly interest. 1t
was wholly selfish interest. Vow
Ter was all the time thinking of his
stomach.
Yowler had not happened to be
about when Paddy and Mrs. Paddy
began the new dam. In fact, the
new dam was already Of considera-
BILE size, and a small pond had al
ready been formed before Yowler
happened along that way. Perhaps
you can imagine how surprised he
was when one night he came
stealthily prowling along and dis
coved where there was no pond the
last time he had come that way.
Now Yowler is one Of these people
of the Green Forest who always are
suspicious. Whenever he sees,
smells or hears anything new and
strange he at once sets out to find
out all about it, or at least to try to.
At the sight of that new pond he
stopped short, and for long time
stared at it without moving. After
while he noticed that the pond
was little by little growing larger.
Then in the shadows on the far
side he saw a silvery line moving,
and he knew at once that some one
was swimming there.
Without making a sound he stole
around that side Of the pond. When
he got there no one was to be seen
in the water. YoWler crouched
down and waited. Yowler is moth
ing if not patient. By and by he
heard a little splash, and then he
saw Paddy the Beaver swimming
with a long stick. Softly, as silent.
lv as a shadow, Yowler followed
along the shore. At last he came
to the new dam and saw Paddy
place that stick in it.
OF course he, understood every
thing then. He understood that that
new dam was making the new pond,
and that it was all the work OF
Paddy the Beaver. At least that IS

OIL WORKERS FIGHT
Fierce BATTLE WITH
MASKED V|GILANTES

MONROE, La, Dec. lone man
was killed, a number wounded and
several are reported dying following
the battle between masked men and
oil field workers near Smackover,
Ark, Tuesday night, according to q
long distance telephone message here
from Eldorado by authorities here
this morning.
Before leaving for the scene of
the battle with a posse Of deputies
early this morning, Sheriff Ed Har-
per, of Camden, over the telephone,
declared all wires were cut in the
Smackover region, and he was with
out accurate information as to the
number of fatalities resulting in the
engagement between the 200 hooded
"vigilantes" and oil field workers
and gamblers.
The sheriff's statement follows:
"I understand that the invaders
who visited the towns along Smack
over creek, after parading in the
town of Smackover last night at 10
o'clock were members of the Ku
I<lux Khan. They were at least
| hooded and wore white robes. Their
| purpose, 1 am sure, was not to pre-
cipitate a battle, but to clean up the
oil field region. The battle, in real
| ity, occurred at what is known as
Patagonia, and after they paraded
in Smackover they started to several
oil field villages in the Patagonia
region, and were met with armed
resistance. That part of the oil
| fields is a wooded country, and the
battle was fought from behind trees
and rocks, and there are perhaps
many dead as result, but all the
| reports received by me are that no
one was killed"
Details Lacking
Details were lacking early today
of the battle repor4d to hav takn
place shortly after midnight be-
tween oil workers and a band Of

dorado and surrounding towns
which went to the Smackover oil
field, about twelve miles north Of
this city, early last night, with the
avowed purpose of Cleaning OUT
the disorderiy element in number
| of small settlements in the oil fields.
Meager reports received here a
