According to the last census of
populations, while the state as a
whole gains nearly 100000 inhabi-

in the winter season the ceremony
generally is made bimonthly. For
those whose birthdays occur in No
vember and December the Corps
set apart yesterday, Nov. Is, as the
occasion for commemoration of the
anniversary. Of these there were IL +.
