A. despatch from Washington saysi -For the first time in the history of the baited States, the 1920 census re- turns will show that more persons live in the cities and towns than in the rural territory, officiala of the Census Bureau have estimated. ' When the final tabulations aro com- pleted, the officials declared, they ex- pect it to be shown that 51 or possibly 52 per cent. of the total population of the continental tithed States reside in urban districts. That the urban population would ex- ceed the rural has become increasing- ly evident as the tabulations of the past several weeks were completed, census officials stated.With the popu- lation of about one-third of the cities and towns, including practically all of the larger cities., and about one-third of the counties, tabulated and an- nounced, the bureau statisticians feel certain that the rural population will be shown to be less than the urban. "There has been a very great ten- dency toward large increases in the cities and towns, which we cannot ac- count for, unless. it has come from the country," said Samuel L Rgers, direc- tor of the census. "This tendency (6 - ward the cities has been apparent for some time." League of Nations to Have General Staff A despatch from Gan Sebastian, Spain, says: -A plan proposed by M.

Some days imperishably live in our January -May, 1920 memories. It is a great good fertilise ,January -May, 1919 for mankind that bitterness and hard- ness die first out of our lives and the sweetness and cheer that have inet us along life's way remain. Our minds affectionately linger on "red-letter of 1918, when heavy losses were en - days" when with the friends we want - tailed through the destruction of M1111- ed we did the things we liked to do. ition plants. If the average of the We wish those happy times might re - first five months of the current year turn, and we leave a mental picture - is maintained our fire line for 1920 will book whose pages we con repeatedly. reach elmost $28,000,000. Sometimes in a crowded street, eeme- Canada cannot afford this -waste and times in the thick of our busiest helms the consequent destruction of money or amid the huddle and pressure of teeming appointments the ision and effort. The Government is vcern- flashes of those eccaeions in the past estly seeking new revenue; there is a shortage of help for building Piss - that brought a gladness which is living still and never is to fail. None can take from us those pre- cious recollections. We may be rob - Bed of property and a dear ambition may be thwarted. We may lose wealth, influence or even friends, and still these memories recur of 'the times when our lives were at their best and noblest; when they rose to an apex and stead upon a hill, and it seemed as though the dawn would last all day. The strong man does not sap his strength by churning over and over his defeats, his mortification, his fail- ures. He flings these to the limbo of irrevocable things and fronts the present and hails the future. The by- gones and have-beens that were dis- pleasing have no hold cm this next precious hour that he must fill with its own constructive task. He has no room for what constricts and -weakens; he must not allow himself to count for less than his full value because his mind is absent from Isis work in quest of things that deserve to be forgotten. But the blessed memory of the good and great among people, the emotion that inspired and the experience that quickened, the incommunicable thrill, the zest and the rapture of 'the beet that life brings us- these are the real treasures that abide, the riches that never take wing, the friends that are lad and stanch in the- days of adversity. None is so poor that he may not have a wealth of happy recollectipn to enliven and comfort and fortify him through the harder times. The pre- cious treesure-trove of sweet and pleasant recollection is deep -hid, where none tan break through to lay violent hand upon- it. Days of distinc- tion are worth months and years of drab, unlbeautiful monotonies. They shine like starry lamps When the night has come, and when "memory brings the light of other days" we are not cast down, but compensated and con- soled. $11,557,944 10,026,419 Increase in loss this year, .$ 1,531,026 Canada's fire loss for the current year bids fair to exceed any thus far recorded, with the exception of that — 4.. Hears Song Across Ocean by Wireless A despatch from St. John's, Nfld., myth -When Chelmsford, Eng., was giving a wireless telephone demonstra- tion to Denmark at 5 p.m. on Satur- day, the experimental station on Signal Hill here picked up the sounds and heard, without interruption, the words uttered by II. J...Rounds,•the manager at Chelmsford, who was talk- ing with the operator in Denniark. Mr. Rounds was heard to tell 'Den- nusek that Melthior would sing, Signal - Hill kept in touch and heard distinctly bus' songs sung in Danish, as well as the conversation that followed -between Denmark and Chelmsford. Chelmsford • and St. John's are 2,673 miles apart.

It's a Great Life If You Don't Weaken poses aud many factories are hard pressed to supply the market for manufactured goods; yet -we are burn- ing up our capital at the rate of 2 1-3 million dollars per month. According; to the "Monetary Times,' from which the above figures of fire losses are taken, 103 residences were damaged or destroyed. The serious shortage of houses is thus •accentuated by the fire waste. The toll being taken by fire is a charge which must he met by the peo- ple of Canada. In 1919, insurance • companies collected $40,0004000k or over 322 for each family of five mem- hers. Had the Minister of Pinance, Sir Henry Drayton, announced in his budegt speech that to replace the fire lose, a direct tax of $22 would be lev- ied upon each family there would have been a storm of protest from one end of Canada to the other. We are, how- ever, •silently paying this tax, which includes the loss by fire, $15, and the charges of the insurance companies to cover business costs, dividends, etc., 37. Everything we buy carries its percentage of this tax, and will 0021- tinue to do so as long as we allow our national wealth to he burned up at its present rate. The Plioht of Polanti„ The president of Polend, Gen, Pil- sudelti, might appropriately echo the words of Manila' Ilalg at Amine: "We are fighting with Quells:eke to the His Ambitious campaign to wrest ail muilleastern Annie from the Boisheviki and. to extend the ithluenee if not the actual dominion of Poland to the Black Sea hes broken clown.

It is cer- tain that the Bolshevist armies will meet fierce resistance and Inthahlo that Poland, if its military supPlies are not exhausted, will check the enemy at the frontier. Gen. Pilsudski seems to Have under- taken the Ukrainian campaign with an impulsiveness that is perhaps char- aeteristitally Palish. It was from the first impossible for bim to raise and equip armies equal in lumber to those of Russia. He hoped to win the vic- tory by dash and, superior fighting. But the Russians usually fight , wall when they are attacked, and the Red army is no longer a restless mob, for it has been disciplined and. instructed. Hundreds of German and Russian offi- cers ' of the old regime have taken service under Trotzky; Gen, Brueslieff is said to be chief military adviser to the Moscow government. Those men, like the Francis soldiers who served under the Revolutionary government, believe in holding their country and its army together in anticipation of a day when. both shall have different mas- ters. They do not mean to let Russia be destroyed by Poles or by Bolshe- vnicikOliOnceeinon whom he can depend for 'difficulty, Gen. Pilaudski has military support. France and England will supply arms and ammunition and will try to persuade or threaten the Soviets into making peace. There is some talk of supporting the Poles with an army, too, and in case the Bathe- viki seemed likely to overrun and de- stroy Poland an .army would have to be sent to its defence. But the French and British Governments are very reluctant to tette that step, partly on account of the expense of another campaign but mainly became the working population of both countries is not in a mood to consent to a war against the Soviets. *Germany is, of couree, no help; the Germans are'cle- lighted at any misfortune that over- takes Poland, for they believe that Central Europe is not big enough for two great powers, and that if Poland grows great Germany must dwindle. The chances are that by the inter- vention of the Allies a peace will be arranged that will restrict Poland to its boundaries as recognized at Paris. The dream of a Poland that will stretch unhindered from the Baltic to the Block Sea is for the present -and probably for .all time -dissolved. The problem now is to keep the Reds froth pushing through to the Baltic and getting into direct touch with Ger- ky from doing what Ise would most like to do. many -in other words, to keep Trotz- Less Activity at Some Automobile Plants Czar and Czarina's Gems Smuggled Into England A despatch from England says : - Priceless jewels, formerly the property of the Czar and Czarina, of Russia, have been successfully smuggled into England, despite the vigilance of the authorities, according to a warning issued to London diamond merchants. It is said the Soviet emissaries who brought in the gems intend selling •them to replenish the depleted propa- ganda coffers of the Soviets. _ Miss Francois Billington Representing the Society of Wonsan journalists, England', who will be the only lady representative from Britain to attend the Imperial Press Con- ference at Ottawa. India and China contain approxi- mately one-half the total population of the world. In some of the larger Canadian automobile plants a falling off in pro- duction is reported, due to the fact that some of the companies are re- ducing their output for the time be- ing. The advisability of such a policy is said to be due to a slackening off in the 'demand for automobiles, more particularly since the recent tax went into effect. It is thought that the lessening of activity in some of the automobile plants will be a good thing for the lobar situation generally in other lines of industry. For some time past it has been felt that the automobile makers had bees paying too much' for labor and that it made it difficult for other lines to get a sufficient number of men. Britain's Crop Fails; Looks to Canada A despatch from London says: - Unprecedented weather has marred the British harvest prospects. "It is to Canada mainly that Britain's 45,- 000,000 consumers must look hopefully for imports to supplement Britain's deficiency," say's a London grain ex- porter. "It is estimated here that Can- ada's total crop will be 200,000,000 buehelssaf wheat."

Green Flash of Sunset. One of the moat rarely witnessed. of natural phenomena, but one that -has often been discussed in scientific circles and that always awakens won- der when seen, is the so-called "green flash" occasionally visible at the mo- ment of the disappearance of the sun behind a clear hinizon. The observer'e eye must be fixed upon the rim of the sun as. it disap- ears in order to catch the, phenomen- on. An officer of the British. Navy says that he has seen the green flash, although rarely, at the instant of .set- ting of a bright star. Among the ex. planatione offered is one based upon the optical principle of complementary colors. If one looks at the sun and then olo'see the eyes a green disc will be perceived, A A*118107'0 eye might be similarly affected by a brilliant star. Origin of Artesian Wells. Why do we speak of a well es an artesian well? Because this pardon - lar kind of well was first used in Ar- tois, in the northern part of France. From Artois the word "artesian" 14 derived, which we use to designate any kind of small bored well, whether it le overflowing or not. The first ar- tesian well ie said to have been bored in the year 1840, but long before this the ancients, dug artesian wells 68 their rude way. Now, however, we see artesian wells all over the country, A proposed Winnipeg factory wilt manufacture boxes from a wood flirted The fibre will be made of goaded waste paper and wood eereening, re4 inforeed with snetal, ••••••••,••••••• ,I.Wr• 40110 OthbOdk onmiersi rtorn 82 littera fileylack felf tine of the iptviirig. tanners Prince Edward; :slat& seeursd Vying pups. 7Phe broding season 110 been Vary eatisbetery omsthe le1a4l A pulp and MO campfuiv oove, street dams And oreot intlle ittTobiottit Narrowa, N, 9Z11.0 aQopotly14 purchased 000 sow) of tialb lands :from he New Britlaitiek way do,
