The drift of population from the agri-
cultural districts to the cities in the
older states is clearly indicated in the
census returns for New York and Ohio.
In New York fifteen of the sixty-one
counties showed a decrease in popula-
tion, While others made only meagre in
creases. Only the counties containing
the larger cities made any considerable
gains in population. The movement
vas more marked in Ohio than in New
York, for in the Buckeye State thirty
nine Of the eighty-eight counties
showed decreases, wIIIIc IN twenIy-one
other counIies the increase was less than
two thousand.

extent with his training grind.
The present boils of the retired
champion are located on his upper left
arm and between his shoulder blades.
They are an irritating affection and
become painful if he INDUCES in hard
exercise. But the experience the train
ers had in treating the old boil on the
fighters back leads them to believe
that they will be able to cope success
fully with the fresh trouble and with
out causing much delay in his condi-

turbed over the rumored trouble re-

ers' union and one of the vice presi-
dents of the American Federation OF
Labor, addressed the club women on
the death roll of industry, showing
that large number of wagewOrkers
are killed and manned In industry
every year Mr. Mitchell claims that
large proportion Of these accidents
are preventable and where they are
not the employer should assume much
greater liability than he does now.
Mrs. Starkweather Of the Minnesota
bureau of labor received an ovation.
She followed John Mitchell as one of
the principal speakers on the morning
programme. Mrs. Starkweather re-
viewed some of the points made by
Mr.. Mitchell and, in contrast to his
examples, showed how many things
were prevented In Minnesota by the
efficient labor system, and ESPECIALLY
the fine work done for the children
and women in conserving their health,
education and morals.
Mrs. Philip N. Moore, president OF
the general federation, slipped on the
polished floor as she was about to
enter the home of Mrs. Howard Hol-
lister, where a luncheon was in prog
ress, breaking the two bones of her
ankle and displacing the ligaments.
Her close friend and family physician,
Dr. Frances l.. Bishop, also delegate
tc the biennial convention, reduced
the fracture and she is under attend
