W turns on the large cities of the
country are now complete. The fig
ures show that most of them have had
healthy growth during the ten years
since the last count was made, but
some Of them have fallen out of the
places they occupied then and their
places have been taken by other cities
OF the many that have tried, in the
past ten years, to climb into the
5000 class, only five have succeeded.
Among the ten largest cities there
has been only one important change
of position. Baltimore has lost sixth
place to Cleveland. Baltimore's popu-
lation, as officially stated, is 558,485,
while Cleveland has 560,663. The gain
in Baltimore over 1900 was 81 per
cent.
A comparison Of 20 cities in the
100000 class shows that the aggre-
gate population is 13,596,819, as
against 10,376,0 in 1900 and 1904 ,140
in 1890.

ings in every town in the state OF a
thousand inhabitants and upwards,

the vice-president of the judicial
circuit in which the town is lacated,
/ or some one designated by him.
From fifteen to fifty speakers and

advisory board to make all arrange
ments and dates for these meetings.
Chambers of commerce, town and

to be asked for this money and the
amount asked for has been appor-
toned to each judicial bircuit, accord
