NEGROES GAIN In POPULA.
TION PAST DECADE

Racial classification of the United
States population was announced to-
day by the Census Bureau, showing
marked gain in Negro growth rate
and a slight loss in white growth rate.
During the last decade, the Ne
groes increased by 1875 per cent as
compared with 6.5 per cent in the
ten years previous. The white race
increased by 14.8 per cent as com
pared with 16 per cent the decade
before.
Even when adjustment was made
for the approximately 700, 900 Mexi.
can population counted as white"
in 1920, the PERCENTAGE Of increase
for the white population was but
1877 cent in 1880.
The Census Bureau said the white
decline obviously was due to the fall.
ing of the birth rate and the restric.
ton OF immigration.
Nearly two-thirds of the entire Ne
gro increase took place in the north,
and the census bureau assumed that
large numbers of southern Negroes
migrated northward. However, the
Negroes in the southern states in
creased by 5 per cent.
Georgia, only state with more than
a million Negroes in 1920 decreased
by 11.2 per cent, and Virginia and
South Carolina also lost. Mississ-
ippi gained by s per cent and became
second state with more than million
Negro population ,OO9,7
New York state gained by 1O8 per
cent. making the Negro population
412,814; New Jersey by 1873 per cent
to 108,828; Pennsylvania by 51.5 per-
cent, to 431.257.
Highest in percentage of Negro
gain was Michigan, 1872 per cent,
with present Negro population OF
1859, 453. Illinois gaining 80 per cent,
now has 1913, 972 Negroes; Ohio with
66. per cent has 309,3O4
Because of the growing importance
of Mexican population, the Census
Bureau said, it was given separate
classification for 1880, and by check
ing 1920 returns with, country Of
birth the Mexican increase was
shown to be more than 100 per cent.
The apparent increase of SO per
cent in the Indian population wa
said by the Census Bureau to ''prob-
ably be accounted for in part by the
more complete enumeration in 1880
of the Indians of mixed blood"

WHEAT GOOD FEED AS
CORN

The Extension Service advises the
feeding of wheat, as the present
prices for the grain lend force to the
oft repeated suggestion that farmers
plan to feed as much of their wheat as
possible, marketing it through their
livestock, thereby saving part of the
cost of commercial mixed feed. 1t
is hoped that everybody who can is
holding as much wheat as possible
for feed. Wheat is equally as good
feed as corn but should not form
more than 80 per cent of grain mix
ture. The Extension is ready at all
times to suggest mixtures which
will meet the need of livestock
more economically, at the same time
make most effective use of whatever
farm grown grains are available.

John Garland Pollard, Governor OF

John Garland Pollard, Governor O.
Virginia, says:
Education is no substitute fol
work. 1t only enables us to direc'
our work more intelligently.
''After having become educated
the eternal question will be, What
use are you making Of what you have
learned?' It is disgrace to have an
education and not use it for the
benefit Of your community.
''The man who acquires knowl.
edge and keeps it for himself and to
himself is an intellectual miser, as
despicable as the selfish hoarder o |
money. What really counts is not
what we know-it's what we Dc
with what we know.
In that final day when we stand
before the Judge Of the earth to give
an account of deeds done in the flesh,
the question will not be what you
knew, but what you DID with what
you knew"

FULL RECIPROCITY FOR
THE AUTOIST
FULL

Full reciprocity courtesies for mo-
florists in all states is urged by the
Delaware Automobile Association
through the legislative committee of
American Motorist Association with
which the localrassociation is affilia-
ted.
Twenty-three states now have rec
iprocal arrangements with reference
to auto licenses, as compared with
sixteen states two years ago.
Despite the factthatthere has been
. uniformity Of opinion by the state
Legislatures and State High Motor
Vehicles Commissions that full rec
iprocal licenses should be universal
among the states, there are still 26
states which have not adopted same,
lit is pointed out by Linneaus L.
Hopes, executive secretary of the
local association. Delaware, how
ever, enjoys full reciprocal privileges.
1.-TWO states, viz, Mississippi and
Texas, permit foreign motorists Is
days of motor vehicle operation with
out the necessity Of. securing new
automobile license. Georgia and
Tennessee give the foreign motor
lists 80 days. Arkansas, Indiana,
Nebraska and Oklahoma have 60
day law. Thirteen states have a
90-day limitation. They are: Colora-
do, Minnesota, Montana, Michigan,
Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Wash
ington, West Virginia and Wyom-
ing. Arizona has a four-months
law, while Illinois, Iowa, New Mexico
and Virginia each havea six-months
limitation. "Good roads have an
initiated distance. Interstate travel
has become common and universal.
"A proper automobile license by one
state should suffice for all other
states. Yet, Notwithstanding the
fact that full reciprocity should be
common to all and that there is no
logical argument aginst it, there are
today seven different limitations
made by the 48 states and District
Of Columbia, declared Mr.. Hopes.
The twenty-three states having full
reciprocity at the present time, ac-
cording to the associations survey,
are as follows: Alabama, California,
Connecticut, Delaware, District of
Columbia, Florida, Idaho, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine Mass
achusetts, Maryland, Missouri New
Hampshire, New York, North Da-
kota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Wisconsin.

MARRIAGE NO BAR TO MD.
TEACHERS

A warning against dismissine
married school teachers simply be.
cause they are married was sem
Monday to the county school super
intendents and the members of the
county boards of education by Albert
S. Cook, State Superintendent Of
Education.
The warning, in the shape of a cir
cular letter, was issued as a result
of queries from Maryland teachers
with reference to the employment
of married women in the schools,
Mr.. Cook said.
All the queries embody the ques'
ton of whether county boards OF
education have authority to dismiss
married teachers for sole reason that
they are married and to make vacan-
cies for young gradutes.

One of the serious factors retard-
ing revival of brisk industrial and
business conditions is declared by
Senator James j. Davis to be the
economic woes of the farmers of the
country.
Speaking at a picnic of the Mont
gomery County, Pa, Agricultural
Societies, Senator Davis said the
problem had ceased to be one solely
affecting the welfare Of the agricul-
tural regions and had become a re-
tarding factor in the national welfare.
Substantial prosperity depends
largely on the uncurtailed buying
power of the general public" said
the former Secretary of Labor, land
it must be remembered that the peo-
Pile Of the agricultural regions consti-
tute almost so per cent of our ma
tional population. Hence, it is OBJ
vious that if the people Of the farm.
ing regions have empty purses due
to over-production and price slashing
in marketing of their products, a
tremendous curtailment in the buy
ing power of our national population
results" Senator Davis added.

THE POWER OF SONG

Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland
Sing when the days are lonely,
And the night is dark and
long;
There is inspiration and power
In some Grand Old Gospel
Song.
Sing when the skies are
darkest,
And the clouds above you roll
When persecution and trial
Sweep down upon your soul.
Sing, and the skies will tighten,
The clouds will roll away,
And into your life come the
dawning
OF a bright and better day.

 ''In the opinion of Ernest Wal Iker Sawyer, member of the Com mission. Fairbanks will become an important center when air routes to Europe and Asia and across the Polar Basin are de- veloped
 This preliminary purpose has drawn the attention to Alaska of scientists who have been .ac- customed to look at maps drawn on a mecators projection and they have expressed surprise to find that London is only APO miles from Fairbanks and Lem ingrad 3,S2o.
 The map has "a bearing on the road project from Seattle to Fairbanks in calling attention to the stratgetic position of the Northern Terminus and visual izzes how the world would look to a person in Fairbanks, it's ' new conception of the Northland to see land and air routes con verging upon it.'
