8INQ A 80NQ OF GLADNESS.
aaaaaaaaas
Have you tried to measure the depth
of Europe's woe? Have you looked
beyond the glare and glitter and pomp
of marching armies to the battlefields
-which make all of Dante's Imagination
of the Inferno seem tame and com-
monplace? Have you opened your soul to a
Ktudy of what It means to have 400
000000 people In an agony of sus-
pense of suffering of aching and
breaking hearts for every shell fired
though it mlits Its mark yet strike's
aome woman's or child's heart
Have you thought that never In his-
tory was there such an awful weight
upon so many millions of people and
that never before did the angels of
heaven look down upon so much hu-
man suffering physical and mental
aa now?
Have you thought of the millions
and millions who In their homes will
suffer In deepest poverty and who
this winter will know more of famine
and of starvation than the world has
ever known before while husbands
and fathers and brothers and sweet-
hearts will day after day be among
the killers or killed?
And as you think of these things. Is
not your heart so full of gratitude for
the blessings enjoyed by you Rnd
every man woman and child who lias
the privilege of living In this country
that there Is no room left in your soul
for worrying over the petty things
that confront us in business
Sing a song of joy and gladness
aong of thanksgiving every hour of
your lire. Make the best of the situa-
tion even though you may have many
real burdens to carry and the clouds
will pass away ere you kuuw It.
Manufacturers' Record.
The South has refused to believe
that supply and demand has anything
to do with fixing the price of cotton
Even In the face of the present .expe-
rience many cotton raisers think; the
price Is fixed by men who are specu-
lating. Those who believe a minimum
production will bring a maximum
price want laws to restrict the amount
produced. Bonham News.
The whole country Is now piled
high with cotton and there is no de-
mand for It consequently It is worth
fcut little. Yet there are many farm-
ers who are sufferers because of pres-
ent conditions who refuse to believe
that lnck of demand is the cause of
the present low prices and stoutly
maintain that Wall street Is at the
bottom of it
There Is more money In a 300-pound
hog than In a bale of cotton. Jle Is
not affected by boll weevil drouth nor
flood and there Is practically no un-
certainty about the price. The. hog
does his own growing and while he
Is at It you can be doing something
else. If you keep your cotton grow-
ing you have to work at it every day
and when you go to pick It you have
to put In the nights and a feiv Sundays
and hire somebody to help you. riant

One farmer complained to The
Eagle that If the farmers raise peas
tomatoes and cabbage next year the
people of Bryan will not buy them..
To be sure the people of Bryan could
not be expected to eat all the peas
tomatoes and cabbage that could be
grown In Brazos County especially as
many of them have gardens ao4 .sup-
ply their own tables. If the farmers
of Brazos County however yilK or
ganize in the growing and In the mar
keting they can find a market for
them In places where they axe not
grown.

The farmer who lias nothing to Bell
during the year except cotton will feel

CHINESE IN U. S.
Statistics of Yellow or Mongolian
Races Now Making Their
Homes In This Country
aa i
Washington Oct. 2. The total
numller of Chinese in the United
States proper according to the census
of 1910 was 715.11 while the total
number of Japanese was 72157. These
figures for 1 ! 1 0 are comparable with
89863 Chinese and 24326 Japanese
who were In the United States proper
In 1900 showing that the number of
Chinese In this country In 1910 was
18332 less than in 1900; while the
number of Japanese Increased 47831
from 1900 to 1910. These figures do
not Include the Chinese and Japanese
under the American flag living In the
outlying possessions of the United
States.
This Information Is contained In a
bulletin on Chinese and Jupanese In
the United States soon to be publish-
ed by William J. Harris director of
the census Department of Commerce.
The Chinese and Japanese In the
United States are mostly adults. Thus
while 36.5 per cent of the native white
eople In this country are under 15
years of age only 5.8 per cent of the
Chinese are below that age and only
6.9 per cent of the Japanese. Two-
thirds or 65.3 per cent of the Japa-
nese enumerated by the rensus were
between 25 and 45 years of age; and
only 4.6 per cent of them were over
43. Of the Chinese on the other hand
44.7 per cent were over 45. The ex-
planation of this difference is found
in the fact that the Japanese repre-
sent a more recent Immigration than
the Chinese. Of the Chinese enumer-
ated In 1910 70 per cent came to the
United States prior to 1890 as com-
pared with 3 per cent of the Japanese.
Four-fifths of the Japanese had Immi
grated within the 10 preceding years
or between 1900 and 1910. In the
next four years or In the Interval be-
tween the date ot the census and July
1 1914 40999 Japanese arrived In the
United States and 33.415 departed.
making a net Immigration of 5.584;
In the same Interval 23071 Chinese
arrived and 26496 departed making
a net emigration of 3.425.
Of the 71631 Chinese In the United
States in 1910 66.856 were males and
onlv 4.675 females: in other words.
there werea bout fourteen times as
many males as females. Among the
j 72.157 Japanese the number of males
wss 63.070 and of females. 9.0i. or
hnnt seven times as many males as
females.
Regarding marital conditions the
census reports that 53 per cent of the
Chinese men were single and 70 per
cent of the Japanese. For the females
of each race the percentage single was
very much smaller only 23 per cent

nese women.
Of the Chinese over 10 years of age
15.8 per cnt were Illiterate; of the
Japam i.e 9.2 per cent Tills Indicates
for each race a decline In Illiteracy
since 1900 when the percentage of
Illiteracy was 29 for the Chlo-'jie and
18.2 for the Japanese. "Ullufulo" as
the term Is used In the census means
tinnblo to write in any languuge.

Japanese who know how to reud and
write In their own langjuo are Ig-
norant of English In fact according
to tlio census 41.2 per cent of the
