Old Abe, the eagle that went
through the civil war at the head Of
the eighth regiment, was found in
1861 when a young bird by an Indian
on the Flambeau river in Wisconsin,
and was sold to Daniel Mccain, OF
Eagle Point, for a bushel of corn. A
few months later he was given to a
military company which had just been
organized by Capt. John E. Perkins,
for the eighth regiment. The eagle
was sworn in by putting around his
neck red, white and blue ribbons with
a rosette of the same on his breast.
The name "Old Abe" was given him
at Madison, in honor of President
Lincoln. He soon became well known
and men of company c were called
the Eau Claire Eagles, and the regi-

"Old Abe" was with the regiment
from the time it was mustered in and
never left it. He was in every battle

UNITED STATES NEARS
POPULATION LIMIT
WILL CONTAIN 100000, 600 PEo-
PIE IN 21O0, WHICH WILL BE
ITS MAXIMUM TO SUPPORT.

BALTIMORE, Md. - About the
year 200 the United States will have
reached point at which ii viii be I'M
able to support any more inhabitants.
This is one of the startling asser-
tons of DR.. Raymond Pearl, PROBES
sor of vital statistics at John Hopkins
university.
IF no way has been found to beat
populations progress" he said, the
United States will find itself then in
the same position as China today. We
will have about 200,000,000 people and
thenceforward the number win oscil-
late, back and forth, as few years OF
famine and then OF plenty affect ii.
Pearl is well known in economic
circles for his studies in population
growth. He is one of the couniry's
leading biologists and statisticians and
has specialized on heredity and biome-
try. or statistical study in human LIES
variations.
"The world is on the high road to
population saturation," is his conclu-
sion. From my experiments | have
found two mathematical laws accord
ing to which populations seem to
grow.
How Laws Work.
Zone is that a population, starting
at a beginning as near as possible to
zero. grows at an increasing rate un-
til il reaches its optimum relation, be-
tween its means t.. OF subsistence and
the number OF people Then il keeps
on growing, but at an ever-decreasing
rate until the saturation point IS reach
ed
The 'optimum relation in the
United States was passed in 1914.
Now our population is growing, but
at a decreasing rate. Hoboken, \. J.,
is already close to its own saturation
point. Ii its population increases the
city will have to expand or its people
will have to move out.
when the saturation point is reach
ed what happens to the United States
will be about the same as what is hap
pening in China today, if nothing is
done meanwhile to correct this law.
That is, famine, pestilence, war, will
cut down the population for a few
good years, and famine will step in
again.
War, Pestilence, Famine.
China is reacting to the second law
OF population growth-the law OF
self-regulation. That in simple terms,
is that war. pestilence and other ca
lamities make only a little jiggle in
the population curve, which then cor
reefs itself as though there were no
disaster.
War and pestilence, therefore, are
no solution. The only other one sug-
gested thus far is birth control. On
that subject / am still doubtful. It's
good remains to be felt.
The only alternative is this law Of
self-regulation by which over-crowd--
ing results in great misery and suffer
ing.
Il have come to believe that the
fundamental cause of the last war was
population pressure, just as it has been
in the past, and undoubtedly will be
in the future But that does not solve
the problem"

GEORGIA LOBBYISTS
ATTACKED BY WALKER
GOVERNoR-ELECT, IN AN AID
DRESS TO FARMERS, SAID
TAX SYSTEM FAILURE"

ATHENS, Ga.-Dirty politics in
Atlanta hotel Hobbies are forever dead
so far as Governor-elect Clifford Wal
ker is concerned.
Addressing the agricultural confer
ence here the governor-elect said; AS
far as | am concerned | am going at
ter the invisible property interests II
| never have another Office. This state
has been corrupted for many years by
dirty lobby which had its headquar-
tiers in Atlanta, but the skids have
been placed under then. | appeal to
YOU to get your representatives to see
to il that these people are buried Tor
ever"
Referrin gto the tax ~ituation in
Georgia he declared that the reduc-
ton must come about within the city
and county. Your county, your nlu-
nicipality and your special taxes are
Intimately large, compared with state
taxes. which could hardly be decreas-
ed. He said if all state taxes but those
absolutely essential to the maintenance
of our state Institutions were dropped
only 81 per $1,000 would be saved to
the taxpayers.
County and Town Taxes Too High.
Referring TO the tax situation in
Georgia he declared that the reduction
must come about within the cities and
counties.
Your county, your municipal and
your special taxes are infinitely large
compared with state taxes. which
could hardly be decreased, he said.
IF all state taxes but those absolute
w essential to the maintenance OF our
state institutions were dropped only
two dollars per thousand would be
saved to the taxpayers.
Continuing his address Mr.. Walker
said that the great interests OF the
state hire the best talent in an attempt
to prevent the enactment OF taxes. and
| that after enactment the best legal
minds are employed to dodge them
"The tax burdens of Georgia are
absolutely unequal" he continued.
THE present system has been an ut
ter failure. OF course it has some good
points, and those points we wish to
keep. I am willing to accept what IS
good.
Side Swipe at Political Hot Air.
"But the present law must either
be abolished or must be so amended
as not to be recognizable in decent
company"
Commenting briefly on political hot
air Governor-elect Walker stated that
the vast majority of men and women
demand that there shall be something
more than hot air in politics, Service
to the public must be the watchword
of every official"
They have gone and invented vest
