An Expensive Item 'Kingston. -- During 1930 the county council cost the county of Frontenac $2,565.80 for 'regular meetings, four of which were held one in January, one in March, one FEWER PEOPLE IN SUT TODAY Census Shows Decline in Emigration and Redistri- "bution of Population The Scottish population is de- clining numerically. The census taken on April 26 showed the to- tal number of the Inhabitants as 4,842,664. The comparable fig- ure of ten years ago was 4,882, 497, so that there has been a re- duction of 39,943 in the decade. That is not a very large falling- off--expressed in percentage it is only four-fifths of a person fin every hundred--but it is all the same a rather disquieting revela- tion. The world is definitely poor- er by the loss of four-fifths of a Scotsman, the fraction being equal, of course, to several full units from any other race. The development is disturbing because it is the first time it has ever hap pened. Hitherto we have always gone on multiplying with a suffie- fent regard for the welfare of the world as to have an addition at every census. At the first decennial census taken in 1801 the population of Scotland was only 1,608,420. Fifty years later it had risen to 2,888, 742, and in another fifty years there was an accession bringing up the number to 4,472,103, The increase went on during the open- ing two decades of the present century, and in the twenty years from 1901 till 1921 there was an addition of 410,394. That was a diminishing rate of progress, but it was still on the credit side. Now the process has ended and we have begun to decay in repro- duction. How fis this thus? The problem is an intriguing one. The analysis of the figures gives prominence to the fact that it is the country folks who are dwindl- ing. All the agricultural coun- tries have suffered considerable draughts, with those of the North especially affected, Proposed Holiday For Miners in N.S. Fields Sydney, N.S., July -- A resolu- tion designating May first as a holiday in the coal fields of Nova Scotia met with a variefl response at a recent session of United. Mine Workers' convention, and was final: 1y referred to the constitution com: mittee after the resolutions com- mittee had refused concurrence. Delegate John R. MacDonald, pro ponent of the scheme, declared the miners should be able to declare a holiday as "the company always gave them a holiday of three and four days a week." He discounted the belief that May 1 had any Com- munistic origin. Claire Gillis, chairman of the re- solutions committee pointed out that the locals already had a holiday, June 11, commemorating the death of William Davis, New Waterford miner who was killed by police in the early clashes of the 1925 strike. Another motion requested that Dominion Steel and Coal Corpora- tion. Company cancel all debts against the miners incurred during periods of enforced idleness, and was unanimously passed. Mr. Gillis explained that miners who had grocery debts prior to the burning of the company's stores in 1925 were still paying on these old accounts. Discussion lasting more than an hour resulted in disapproval, by a vote of 62-56 of the plan promulga- ted by L. L. Snell, bread manufac- turer, under which Nova Secntia merchants would refuse to purchase Ontario products until that Province created a greater market for Nova Scotia coal. CUSTOMS-EXCISE RECEIPTS TUMBLE Last Month's Total Down $391,146 Compared With June, 1930 Montreal, July 4. -- Montreal customs "ahd excise receipts for June, 1931, show a decline of $391,146 compared with the cor- responding month last year, ac- cording to figures issued by Ar- thur Magnan, collector of nation- al revenues. The total for the past month was $7,311,626.45 as against $7,702,772.94 in June, 1930. There is also a decline for June contrasted with May, 1931, when receipts reached a to- tal of $7,704,493.92. The drop would doubtless have been even more marked, how- ever, had it not been for the intro. duction of the one per cent, excise tax which has been collected since June 2, There ig also the effect of the increased sales tax from one to four per cent. on importa- tions collected from the same date, As the sales tax on domestic goods, that is to say articles man- ufactured in Canada, is pot paid until the following month, this as- pect of the Prime Minister's fin- ancial changes cannot be estimat- ed until another month has pass- ed when the June sales domestic tax will be included in the July returns. ¢ A story is going the rounds of a curious accident that occurred during the Prince of Wales' visit to Paris, a story that adds to the lengthy saga of beaux gestes as- gccited with him. He was sitting one night in a club with friends when there was a sudden disturbance. A frantic msitre d'hotel appeared, excitab- ly informing his guests that his waiters had taken advantage of the presence of the Prince to de- mand a 30 per cent increase above their normal wage. Distraught, the maitre asked for volunteers to help serve the Prince. A score of people immediately rose from the tables to be warm- ly welcomed +y the relleved maitre. Among them, quietly un- obtrusive, was - the Prince him- se!f!"--London Opinion. At a wedding feast in the country district of Smolin, near Vilna, a quarrel developed between the young farm hands present as to who should sit next to the pretty bride. Knives and hatchets came into play, and the bridegroom and three of the guests were killed, while eight others were seriously injured. "What is the difference between marching and dancing?" asked the girl of her clumsy partner, "I don't know," he replied. "I thought so," she said. we sit down?" "Shall" His Honor--So you deserted your wife hecause she was always arking you for pin money? Vicflm--Yes, Your Honor, but it was diamond pins. Everyone Enjoys It "It's Dot's first anniversary to- day," said Mother. "It hardly seems possible!" Father ' said quietly: "Let's surprise them with a visit eh? No, not a real one,--a telephone visit. We'll call at dinner time, and it will please them go." And it pleased Dot's parents just as much! in June and the final i in November. This amount was the remuneration paid to the council- lors for the time taken up by the meetings and is shown in the 1930 auditor's report, which has just been placed in the hands of the clerk of the county, Mr, J. W. Bradshaw.
