WOMEN ARE QUITTING FARMS
Census Report Shows More Women

WASHlNGT0N--La numbers of
women than men are leaving h e
farms in search OF more lucrative
flelds OF endeavor. the census bureau
says, basing its statements on an anal
ysis OF the 1920 census statistics. The
enumeration shows the rate of men to
women was higher for farm popula-
ton than for the total population, de-
spite the fact that the foreign born
element, in which the men consider
ably outnumber the woman, is found
mainly in the cities The sex ratio of
farm population January l, 1920, was
1871 men to 100 women, while the
ratio for the entire population was 1O4
men to 100 women
OF this number of farm jewellers. to-
falling 31,614,269 men and bows num-

about 247 per cent between 10 and 20

me difference in the age distrihu-

REDEEM WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Post Office Now Ready To Start
Exchanges.

The local post office yesterday re-
ceived supply of the forms which
have been expected for some time and
which are for use in redeeming or ex-
changing the 1918 war stamps, which
mature the first of the year.
The plan for redeeming the stamps
is thus laid down: Those who desire
all cash will make out a form and
turn in their stamps TO the postmaster,
who will forward them to the nearest
federal reserve bank or branch there
of and a check will be mailed from
the bank the first of the year.
For those who desire part cash and
part new savings certificates, which
bear four per cent, the procedure is
the same except that when the cash
part is under $50 the postmaster will
handle the transaction, issuing the
new certificates and paying the cash
cut OF his funds.
For those who desire to convert all
OF their stamps into the new treasury
and savings certificates the entire
matter will be handled by the post
office. The exchange can be made at
any time. The 1918 stamps will be
figured al the full maturity value Of
So each and the new certificates will
be dated January /.
1t is desired to have the exchanges
made as early as possible in order not
to make congestion of the business
during the holiday season and around
the first of the year.

had special delivery letter from
Uncle Santa. saying that he has had
his eve on this house for the last
twelvemonth, and that this will be one
OF his stopping places because from it
so much of service for others has been
going out. He says that you are his
gardeners. and that you have planted
so many seeds of kindness that a lot
of beautiful things will be sure to
come up. That is always the way, he
says, in fact, 1t is the way in which
he got rich himself"
This was a very pleasant assurance
for the children. II made them think
OF a happy mistake that one of them
had made when they were having war
gardens all over the town A certain,
Mr.. Rose had been appointed by the
mayor as Inspector of gardens for the
whole place, and one day Betty point
ed him out to friend with whom she
was walking. "Frhere goes Mr.. Rose"
she said; hes an expecter of gar
dens r.
When the children had been re-
minded of Mr. Rose they also remem-
bered what Betty had done at their
last Christmas party; stalking heavily
and pompously down the room, she
had said: I'm Mr.. Atlas. who holds
up the world" So one OF them stood
on tiptoe. threw back her head and
threw out her arms and said: I'm
Uncle Santa Claus, who holds up the
world" "Wel doner cried Uncle
Peter; that's just Il !"
There wasn't any disappointment in
the house the next morning. "Did YOU
get all that You wanted?" asked
Uncle Peter. YES" said Mary.
Were you at all dlsappointed?"
NO." said Mary When Mary said

excited to have care for her ex-
pressions. In describing the situation

t. L. Greer, secretary of the Pend
d'Oreille Timber Protective associa-
ton, was in Spokane Wednesday go
ing over the associations books with
William Gowen, travelling auditor of
the state, at the Davenport Hotel
Mr.. Gowen stated at that time that
it cost Idaho's five timber protective
associations, in all of which the state
is interested to the extent of large
holdings, more than $350000 for fire
fighting with a cost of 100000 to pro-
tect 100000 acres of timber holdings.
The other costs were given as follows:

Priest River group, administered by
the forest service. approximately $780,

third as much, as follows: 1000.
$4,000, $4,000 $4,000 and $4,000.

N ESPITE anything anti-dry forces
may say against It, drinking
water is a mighty necessary ad-
Junct to good health. Few people
drink enough of it. There are lots Of
heavy eaters. but few heavy water
drinkers.
There is a time for drinking water
Just as for everything else. The per-
son who is fighting fat should avoid
drinking at meals. because the food is
washed down 200 easily and one over
eats almost unconsciously.
The sufferer from acid stomach
should not drink Immediately after
eating or, in fact. until digestion is
well started. Although water is an
aid to digestion. If taken in excess,
It will cause an excessive flow of gas
trio acid.
To be sure Of enough water to keep
the body in normal condition one
should drink at certain times during
the day. When the business man has
finished opening his morning mail,
he would do well 10 swallow a glass
of water. Again. in mid-afternoon, ne
should take a tumblerfuI. If a glass
is taken upon rising and another just
before retiring. this will meet the

course. that some is drunk at meal

tion lengthening human life? To get
an unbiased view. the question was
put to officials Of Ave big life insur-
ance companies whose business it is to
know why people die and how many
are gong to die.
WHAT do your statistics, your
charts and your mortality research
show about the effects OF prohibition?"
they were asked
All said there were no statistics.
Some thought It doubtful whether the
question ever would bo answered. And
some intimated strongly an opinion
that prohibition has had no effect
whatever on mortality. Statements
follow:
James M. Craig. actuary, Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company:
TT is difficult to tell what influence
prohibition has had. Last year saw
the lowest mortality on record in the
United States. But the same phe-
nomenon occurred. in England. which
has no prohibition. Mortality, on the
other hand, was just as high in Amer
ica during the past five years as in the
previous five"
DR.. T. Fl. Rockwell medical director,
Equitable Life Assurance Society:
ut seems to us in our review Of ap-
plications that prohibition has made
no difference. Without analyzing
causes, we see no difference in mortal
ity because of prob .bition."
John K. Gore. vice president and
actuary, Prudential Life Insurance
Company:
I'VE can't tell because we can't get
the facts; people do not remember or
they do not tell us what drinking they
do. Applications show as much drink.
ing as ever. but we can't tell what the
effect is on mortality. Although NOR
tality decreased in America last year,
1t also decreased in England"
William Young, actuary. New York
Life Insurance Company:
ut is impossible to arrive at any
statistics showing prohibition's in
fuence on mortality, or even to hazard
an opinion
William A. Hutcheson, second vice
president and actuary Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York:
Misuse OF statistics Of life insur.
ance companies has been made by
both prohibitionists and anti-prohibi-
tionists in an attempt to prove that
prohibition does and does not lengthen
human life.
THE misuse of statistics of all
kinds is very common, and where
such misuse is made honestly. II "a
