Forbes, editor of Forbes Magazine, and a noted financial writer, calls attention to the fact that the United States has grown as much in the last ten years as most other countries have grown in fifty, and the next ten years are destined to bring still further growth. He backs bis assertion on the records which show that our popu lation has increased 36,383,000 Since 1900 and 14,758,000 since 1914. We now number 112,686,000 souls. Our natidnal wealth works out at $2,847 for every man, woman and child in the land. Ten years ago our wealth ^mounted to only $1,902 per head. Ten years ago our bank de posits were $18,000,000,000. They are now $46,000,000,000, The value of our factory product has practically doubled, rising from $24,000,000,000 to nearly $44,000,000,000 in 1921, the latest year for which figures were avail able. Since 1900 the value of our manufactures hove multiplied four fold. The value of our farms an^ farm property has mounted from $20,000,000,000 in 1900 to $41, 000,000,000 in 1910, and to $78, 000,000,000 In 1920. This Shows that the value of farmers’ possessions has increased as rapidly as the increase in the value of the products' of all our factories. Curiously, there has been no material increase in the number of farm animals. We now have 1,000,000 more cattle than we had ten years ago, but we have fewer horses and 11,000,000 fewer sheep, with only a 6,000,000 increase in swine. The total value of farm animals has actually decreased nearly one billion dollars. ■WOMEN m OFFICEHOLDERS Now that the tumult and shout ing and smoke of battle have died away, it is interesting to note what an important part women had played in the drama; not only in voting and campaigning, but also in winning elective office. In twenty-two of these United States women entered the com petition for state offices. In eleven, women ^yere nomi nated for Congress. This much has been accomplish ed within a brief four years toward recognizing the capabili ties of the former stay-at-homes. Two women have won govemor *hips, «t least 88 women have Ifeen returned to the state legisla tures of the nation and one to congress, while another was elect ed a secretary of state. To be sure, a great many of those who ran for office did not wht—but there is significance in the fact that so many were nomi- nated, and that here and there they did win. One curious fact is that women generally do hot support women. Those who were elected were put in by men’s votes. As a rule the two major parties never nominate a woman only when there is no chance for their party to win, and occasionally when there is no chance for her to lose. Women took great strides in politics from 1820 to 1924. The next four years will be even more important to them, and every one interested in national affairs will be watching the de velopments. SMUGGLERS BOLD They’re having high old times up north. The Vermont-Canadian border, in particular, is beginning to re semble No Man’s Land at a crucial stage. In Beebe, Quebec, a number of powerful searchlights, miles of barbed-wire entanglements and twenty-five special officers keep vigil every night to prevent con traband material from trickling over the line. We know what you’re thinking/ No, it isn't that. The “contraband” in this case consists of denim overalls, cotton gloves and shirts which the tariff act does not permit to enter free of duty Where/jre the Canadian author ities rise to the occasion and aid government against our smugglers bold.

It awaits only the hand of the Industrious and enterprising set tler to capitalize all this poten tial wealth. ii We are, therefore, hoping that there will soon begin a tide of immigration, especially from the United States. We demand only that the immigrant possess five qualifications: sound mind and body, a willingness to live under our traditions—for f want no communists—an : ability to earn a living with the help we offer, and that he be a Caucasian. Canada cannot afford to create for her self a racial or negro problem. Tourists are most welcome, for we feel that the beauties and attrac tions of our country may induce some of them to settle there.
