what changes will be made as the
result of the sale of the Katy rail-
road to the Yoakum Hawley inter
ests are not known here among the
local officials. In fact they know as
little about the matter as the general
public But they feel safe in regard
to changes from the fact that the
present general manager will be
raised to the presidency. Mr.. A. A.
Allen, under whose management the
road has prospered, will have COM
plete charge of the property as pres

Has the stupendous growth of ur-

4,O00, 900 people were in cities; to-

THE city dweller has awakened
to the realization that he is entitled
