rHE cENTER Of POPULATION

y An eastern statistician, who has
treated the census returns to close
analysis. has discovered that the CEN
ter Of population has stopped on Its
westward journey and has started back
east again. The large number Of immt-
grants who arrived in this country
and remained in the east are held re-
gponsible for this showing. The eastern
man says:
can analysis of the census returns
indicates that for the first time in the
history of the nation the center OF
population may move from west to
east. When the first census was
taken in 1870 the center of population
was found to be twenty-three miles
west Of Baltimore. It has moved west
ward steadily and in 1900 was twenty
Ave miles west of Columbus, Ind. a
distance of sos miles from the start
ing point. The longest move taken
in any decade was eighty-one miles,
from Parkersburg, w. Va, to Chilli
cothe, O., from 1850 to 1860. The farth-
est south the center has reached was
a point sixteen miles north Of Wood
stock, Va, attained in 1920, when the
country had population of 4,5OO,O0O.
IAN examination of the returns just
made public shows that during the last
decade there was a total gain of 15,-
977,69 In continental United States.
The states east of Indiana, along with
the District of Columbia, show an in
crease Of 7,224S60, or almost half the
total for the country. That does not
take into account the gains in Michi-
gan, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and
Alabama, amounting in all to 1,1s8,9o5,
and most Of which is east of line
drawn through Columbus, Ind. The
gain east Of that town seems to have
been greater than in the territory west
OF it. There is reason to believe that
when the computations have been
made, it will be found that the center
of population has moved south and a
little east"

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
!" Twas the night before Christmas
YxY1.<,a III &hro1luh the house.

"~Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house,
Not q creature was stirring,
Not even mouse"
Do you remember how these lines
stirred you back in your boynood Gays
as you, were famed into fever OF ex-
pectancy in contemplating the Visit
soon to be made by Santa Claus
Those days return to you now II you
have children who are as agltateo
now over Santa's coming as you were
then.
The night before Christmas is a
wonderful night for those to WhoHl
Santa Claus remains real personal
ity. It is a night that thrills the young
and stirs adventurous spirits SO that
even when the eyes are closed IN sleep
the ears are watching to catch the first
sound of the bells of Santa's RENDERS.
And when morning comes what
scramble there is to see what Santa
left.
But there are tragedies as well as
lows in the home on Christmas eve.
There are mothers whose hearts are
pierced by the prattle Of the young
sters. mothers who know that Santa
Claus will never find their homes I'M
less some generous heart responds
and helps the good saint on his rounds.
The Courier Juniors will do their part
this year The Christmas Stocking club
will brighten hundreds of homes. More
than 800 stockings, filled with Christ
mas goodies, were brought in by the
Juniors to be distributed systematlcal-

Through charitable organizations,

ened. There will be few houses in Of
tumwa that will not be blessed with q
visit from Santa Claus tonight.
