From the Wall Street Journal.
"That house took SI7,000 worth of
I
cigars from me last year," said a cigar
man who has been dealing with
the big men in Wall street for forty
years. "It is astonishing how many
highgrade cigars some of the Wall
street houses take, brands which the
general public hardly ever hear of.
"The Olympian mokers are either
uead or retired from the street, however,
John dates, who frequently
gave me an order for two thousand
prime cigars at $4 apiece to distribute
among his friends was one of
iny best clients.
"Charles Gates formerly duplicated
the order.
"J. P. Morgan smoked specials at
$2 each, a cigar so strong and full
that one had to be a real man to
tackle it. I remember showing one of
these to Dan Reid, who smokes the
best He Immediately wanted 1,000
and although J. P. M. was not a
client of mine I got tne tinplate man
a similar cigar from the special factory
in Habana.
"William Leeds smoked $2 cigars
^ at the rate of five to ten daily.
"I remember a woman coming to
my office ad prdering 1,000 cigars at
$1 apiece with the proviso that no ad
vertisement of any kind should appear
on the box or cigar. I assured
her this would be all right and the
order was addressed to Theodore
Roosevelt, at the White House. The
!ady was a relative of the same
name. Roosevelt usually smoked a
15-cent cigar."

WORLD IS FACING
CRISIS OF THE AGES j
Speaker at Northern Baptist Convention
Says Present is Most Momentous
Time
Dts Moines, la., June 23.?The
year of 1921 marks a "crisis of the
ages'' the Hon. Ernest L. Tustin,
president of the Northern Baptist
convention, and a well-known lawyer
of Philadelphia, declared today
in his opening address at the four1
tenth annual convention of North
em Baptists, in session in this city.
He laid emphasis upon the "great
extravagances in living," the "deplorable
lowering of morals in our
social life," the "moral degeneration
and let-down in the habits of ourj
young people," the "morals in our!
local politics perhaps lower than
ever before," and the "non-churchEoing
and non-religious people,
whose knowledge of the sacraments
is chiefly confined to those of marriage
and of death," as evidence of
such crisis. There is, he declared,
"A clear distinct call throughout
the land for the unification of all
forces of Christianity to consider the
preat questions confronting the po
litical, business and religious world."
"Countless thousands of our people
are running beyond their means,
and living without .the economic
care and saving of our forefathers,"
Mr. Tustin said. "There has come
into the minds of the many a desire
for equality of condition. In business
lines, the whole assumption
seems to be?get money; get it honestly
if possible; but get money. In
dur local politics the morale is lower
perhaps today than ever before. In
nearly evry city of our country the 1
word ol the doss is supreme.'
As an evidence of the lowering of
pur socral morals, Mr. Tustin cites
the '"terrible indictment" of young
women, contained in the advice recently
given by another denomination,
which charged them not to
swear, to give up drinking, quit
gambling, refrain from immodest
dress and stop joy-riding. He said
that there was an "equal moral dogeneration
and let-down in the habits
of our young men."
The cure, he said, can come only
"by a united effort of all Protestantism."
The marked decrease in
church membership; he said, while
fraternal and worldly organizations
are increasing in membership, is
due to the fact that "the great lack
in the followers of Christianity of
tjhe present day is that we do not
possess the fervor, the heart-throbs,
which characterized the Christianity
of a century ago. We allow worldly
affairs to crowd out our devotion and
loyalty to our religious life."
Better Sunday schools and Bible
schools would counteract the moral
let-down among young people today,
he declared. He urged the Northern
Baptists to sustain and develop
the 22 colleges and 43 schools of the
denomination, and to earnestly
strive for the religious education or
all our people,, from the cradle to
the grave. He also urged the practice
of tithing upon the denomination.
"Let us try humbly, prayerfully,
and sincerely with the opening of
this convention to inaugurate a tremendous
forward movement for another
Pentecost," he said in closing.

POPULATION GIVEN
BY RACIAL GROUP
COUNTRY CONTAINS NEARL
NINETY-FIVE MILLION WHI1
PERSONS AND * MORE THA
TEN MILLION NEGROES?JA
ANESE INCREASE FASTEST.
Washington, June 23.?The raci
composition of the population of tl
United States in 1920, as announci
tonight by the census bureau show<
. he country to contain 94,822,4.
white persons, 10,463,013 negrof
242,959 Indians, 111,025 Japanes
61,680 Chinese and 9,485 others. Tl
Japanese race exceeds by far tl
rate of growth in the last ten yea
of all other classes.
Unofficial estimates of the i:
c-rease in the number of Japanese
the United States, particularly on tl
Pacific coast were borne out in tl
official tabulation which revealed
rate of expansion of 53.9 per ceri
during the decade of 1910-20. Cali
fornia absorbed 30,596 of the tot
urowth of 38,868 Japanese in tb
eriod. January 1, 1920, there wei
71,952 Japanese in California. Tl
remainder of the increase was di
tributed largely in the states <
Washington, where 17,388 make the
home. Oregon 4,151 and Utah, Col(
rado and New York, with betwee
two and three thousand each.
The white population showed on!
a 1(5 per cent, expansion for the di
cade and the negro 6.5 per cen
Both the Indian and Ch;nese grou]
dwindled 8.6 per cent, and 13.8 p<
:^nt.. respectively. The growth
the white population was consider
:b)y less than the rate for the pr
vious decade which was 22.3 p<
cent. This decline, the statemei
said, Was due principally to tl
marked reduction in immigratk
during the war. An estimate base
m tne excess 01 tnrtns over aeatj
and on the excess of immigratic
jvcr emigration showed a diffe
ence by only a small fraction of
- or cent, from the total white en
merated.
The greatest numerical increase
:it? white population was shown
the east, north and central divisio
embracing the states of Ohio, I
diana, Illinois, Michigan and Wi
consin, where the increase was J
011,663. In the South Atlantic ai
east and west and south central po
tions the whites proved a norm
increase of 3,586,107.
The rate of increase in the neg
population, which was not percepi
jly affected by immigration or ei
igration, was the lowest on recor
according to the statement.
Evidence of the emigration of ti
negro to the North and West w
found in the figures showing near
three-fourths of the increase in tl
legro population, or 472,418 of t
635,250 gain, in these sections,
growth of only 162,832 or about on
iurth, was reported for the. Sout
iespite that 85 per cent, of the tot
negro race is still below the Maso
Dixon line. The percentage increa
of the negroes in the West was 55.
in the North 43.3 per cent, and in't
South 1.96 per cent.
Michigan with fi0.082 nptrrnps. 1
all states in percentage of increa
with 251 per cent. Illinois and Oh
with increases of 67.1 per cei
showed further evidence of the nor
ward movement of negroes. Pen
sylvania's negro population grow
was 46.7 per cent.
Decrease in the Indian race in t
ten years' period was probably d
in part, it was said, to the en
meration as Indians, in 1910 and
whites in 1920, of persons havi:
only slight traces of Indian blood.
Georgia leads with the largest n
gro population, numbering 1,206,36

100,000 negro inhabitants are: M

RUSH DAMS PREVENTS
SOIL FROM WASHING
One of the big problems that
extension workers are giving their
ittention to this year is saving soil
according to extension specialists
>f the United States Department of
Agriculture. In mtany sections of the <
Central and Western States every
iffort is being made by extension
vorkers to prevent washing and
irosion of soil by building dams ot
>lacing brush heaps in gullies. A
epresentative of the department
irho returned recently from southwestern
Nebraska gives the followng
as an example of what is being
In April 1920, a county agent asiisted
in building 19 small brush
lams in a large ditch on a farm
vhere large amounts of fertile soil',
verc being washed nway. By March
)f this year the ditch was filled with
ioil. Fallowing this demonstration
nany farmers in the neighborhood'
vho had been watching the outome
of te soil-saving work, built
rush dams in washouts on their
arms. ,
The representative reports that in
tabraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa,
nd Indiana the extension workers
re holding soil-service meetings
ind demonstrations, and farm erf
re 'being taught to make use of soil
