Population Center Moving West.

Population Center Moving west
The center OF population Of the
United States is four and one-quarter
miles south OF Unionville, Monroe
county, Indiana, according to a census
bureau announcement
Since 1900, when it was six miles
southeast Of Columbus, Ind. it has
moved thirty-one miles westward and
seven-tenths Of mile nOrthward The
westward movement was more than
twice that Of the 1S9O-19OO decade.
This acceleration OF the westward
movement is attributed by census Of
fcials principally to the growth Of the
Pacific and southwestern states.
The geographical center of the
United States is in northern Kansas,
so that the center of population, there
fore. is about $50 miles east Of the
geographical center of the country.

Government Again Sues Coal Roads.

Government Again Sues Coal Roads.
The government will renew the
fight to take from the great coal car
rying railroads their virtual control OF
mines, and thus vitalize the cOmmodi-
ties clause OF the interstate commerce
law.
A test case against the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad company was filed in the
United States court in Philadelphia.
That the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany, Coke Brothers. Inc. the New
York & Middlefeld Railroad and Coal
company. and the Locust Mountain
Coal and Iron company are not bona
fide coal companies. but merely ad-
juncts to the Lehigh Valley railroad.
and are devices for evading the COM
modities clause" is the governments
principal complaint It ts also alleged
that the Lenigh Valley railroad, with
the object Of removing competition,
has caused the Lehigh Valley Coal
company to contract at a loss for the
output Of other anthracite operators,
has transported the coal over its own
lines and through the coal company
fixed the price in New York and other
markets.
The government charges that al
though the buying Of coal from other
operators has been done at a loss to
the coal company. it has enabled the
Lehigh Valley railroad to transport the
coal over It's lines and profit from the
freight charges.

The High School Play.

The play, 1.-THE College Ball" was pre-
sented on Wednesday evening by the
graduating class of the high school to
full house, practically every seat be-
ing sold. Quite large representation
came from Emerson, st. Vincent toilette
and other localities. The proceeds
which will be given to the school dis
trict for some needed impro. ement as a
gift from the class will net nice sum.
The play itself is of the simple order,
in most cases the actors being ouly re-
quired to be natural. which however is
not so simple as might be thought by
anyone who has not tried it. The most
difficult part was that the Professor

and carried out his part in excellent
style. Misses Rhoda Harvey, Enid Swift
