These Americans who are leav ing us understand our institutions, our ways and our aspirations, while most of the immigrants into this country have to be taught these things. "In one week not long since. 1.S45 American farmers with $388,500 in cash and $145,000 in personal proper ty, crossed into western Canada to set tle permanently in British North America.

But It's Not Butter-Krust best citizens. I am personally ac quainted with two or three hundred of them. There is not a bad or shift less man in the lot. They are seeking to better their condition. They almost invariably take their families with them. The principal reason they ex patriate themselves is the lure of cheaper land and less stringent land laws as to homesteading. "Congress should make our home steading conditions as easy as possible compantible with safety, and should increase the area for home building by judicious encouragement of both irrigation and drainage. A statisti cian has figured that the average adult citizen is of the money value of $1,000, considered solely as an asset to the country. If that is true, the 1,845 American farmers who crossed the Canadian border depleted the assets of the republic that week by $2,378,500, which, multiplied by fifty-two weeks, would make the grand annual total of loss to the republic of $123,682,000 by those gone to Canada alone."

Keep the Babies Cool and Cosy Babies require particular care during; the hot weath er, not only in the matter of clothing but in food as well, as every intelligent mother knows. It frequently happens, however, that mothers are at a loss where to buy ba bies' clothing, because picking out anything for baby is always a momen tous choice. The best thing for a young mother to do when in doubt is to follow the ad vertisements in THE STATE JOURNAL. These announcements usually tell her all about clothes for the little ones, from the tot in the cradle to the little sun-browned scamperer on the highways Very often an advertise ment contains the news of the sale of precisely what you require at a price that is a pleasant surprise. Some mothers make a habit of cutting out all ad vertisements relating to baby clothes and then visit ing certain stores when they are ready to purchase. When you see some thing you need advertised by a reputable house at an attractive price you are safe in bujring at once. POWERS IN DANGER Lower Birth Bate Stares World 2N at ions in Face. Smaller Countries May Gain the Ascendancy. ARE CHILDREN A BURDEN? Jfoted French Protestant Blames Lore of Ease. Luxury May Cause Overthrow of Forces. Kansas City, Mo.. June 23. That un less the rapid decrease in birth rates of the dominant nations Is checked, the smaller nations of the world ultimately will gain ascendancy, is the opinion of the Rev. Charles Milne d'Aubigne of Paris, French delegate to - the second world's Christian citizenship conference which opens in Portland, Ore., June 29. Dr. d'Aubigne is in Kansas City today. "The . greatest problem France is now facing is that of the decreasing birth rate.'- said he. "And that is more or less true of all the stronger nations. It has been noted with alarm in Germany, in Austria, in the United States and even in England. "The cause seems to be the modern love of luxury, the disposition of each generation to look more to its own comfort than did the preceding. The rearing of children is a burden, accord ing to the modern viewpoint, and one's ease is so" important that one doesn't wish to divide it with a family of youngsters. "In France there is another element not always noted elsewhere. The thrift of the average Frenchman is a considerable factor in preventing an increase in the birth rate. He saves his surplus earnings for old age and is un willing to take the material risk of rearing a large family. "In all of the more highly civilized and more generally cultured nations, the tendency is the same fewer chil dren to the family. In your own na tion it is the immigrant who keeps up the general average. Otherwise we now would be pointing to you as an example of decreasing birth rate. Un less a change comes, it means the pass ing of the stronger nations of the earth and the supremacy of the little people who still are unspoiled enough to reproduce themselves.. Believes a Change Is Coming. "But I think a change will come. I believe a revival of the Christian spirit and a new application of that spirit to the problems of the modern world will bring the larger nations back to normal lives. "The liquor problem is an increasing ly momentous one to the French peo ple. It may seem . strange to you, but the high class Frechman does not get drunk. It is the working man who is responsible for the larming increase in the use of alcholic liquors. Partic ularly is the use of absinthe, which is nothing less than rank poison, increas ing. "The divorce problem is another which looms large before us. Divorce Is not so prevalent in France as in the United States, but it is rapidly grow ing more prevalent. I attribute this to the modern lack of religious influence. 1 he people are straying away from the churches. Family ties are not held as sacred as they should be. There is too strong a tendency to regard marriage as merely a contract. "These are some of the things that we will talk about in Portland. They are the big problems everywhere. The cure lies in the application of the prin ciples of Christianity tc every phase of modern life." Dr. d'Aubigne is one of the most noted ministers of Protestant France and is a leader in the movement for applied Christianity. JOHN D. USES ECONOMY Buys Sheep to Replace Lawn Mowers on Golf Links. New York. June 23. John D. Rockefeller, jr., still is economizing. While playing golf on his Tarrytown estate last spring a friend said: "Mr. Rockefeller, why don't you buy about four hundred sheep and let them feed on your greens? You not only would save the cost of cutting the grass but the sheep would keep the links in condition always." "How much would they cost?" Mr. Rockefeller asked. "About $2,000," answered the friend. "Oh, that's too much," answered Mr. Rockefeller. When he- got back to the house he started figuring the cost of his motor lawn mowers and the cost of the I sheep and found that the suggestion witj an economical one.
