athletes entered the events and scored
So points against all comers, while the

ond in the official score with 20 points
After the decision Of the athletic
committee was handed in, stating that
Chickasha high school would not be
allowed to enter the county contests
and participate in the honors, the men
who had been training, decided that
they would enter for fun" and with
the understanding that their scores
should not be counted in the official
records.
The events were more hotly contest
ed than last year and the teams were
more evenly matched 1t was simply
procession last year, with Chickasha
at the head This year. Chickashas
first string Of men were at the inter-
scholastic meet at Norman and it was
up to the second string squad to meet
the invaders Officially Verden is the
winner OF the silver loving cup, that
was won last year by Chickasha, which
school complied with the rules of win
ming more points than all other entries
combined. Chickasha is q little loathe
to relinquish tEeir claims to the cup
in favor of Verden, simply by being
ruled out Of the contests. What will
eventualis become Of said cup is not
al this time determined.
There being no stop watches on the
hill when the events were pulled off, it
was impossible to clock the sprints with
any degree of accuracy, hence a record

Local Protest Meeting.

At meeting held at the city hall in
this city Sunday afternoon under a
call issued by the Trades Council, res
olutions were adopted calling upon the
president and congress to act in Colo
RADIO. After recitiug the conditions ex-
isting now and for years past, the res
olutions say:
"Be it resolved, by this body Of work
ing class people OF Chickasha, Okla,
that we demand OF the congress and
the president Of the United States thar
they at once take such action as may
be necessary to protect the lives and
liberties of striking miners and their
families in the state of Colorado, or in
dicate by an emphatic refIisel so to do
their sympathy and endorsement OF
the brutal methods now being employ
ed by that state in subjugating the
working class to the will Of the master
class, the mine operators.
And be it further resulted. that a
refusal on the part OF congress and
the president to take such action as
viii forever stop the murderous out
RACES which are continuously being
perpetrated upon the working class can
only be regarded as an eyidence that
the members Of our national congress

cern or interest in the lives and well

beyond this appeal to the highest civil
authority for justice and liberty, there
is but one refuge one last analysis

were such animals on the ground, and
had you played every Chickasha entry

Washington, D. c.. April 27.--The
United States is now country Of 1O9,-
100000 people, according to the bulle-
tin containg the estimates Of popuIa-
tion for the years subsequent to the
thirteenth census. soon to be published
by Director. William ]. Harris OF the
bureau of the census. department OF
commerce.
AS stated, the estimated population
OF the United States for July /, 1914.
will be 100,O2l 1892. The population OF
the United States and its possessions
in 1910 was 1O1,74S,269, so there will
have been an estimated gain of over
100000 persons in little more than
four years. The corresponding esti-
mated population of Continental Unit
ed States for July /, 1914, is 9S,7Sl,-
324, as compared with the population
Of 9l,972,266 as returned by enumera-
tors April Is. 1910.
Estimates of population are required
primarily for use in the census bursau
in calculating death rates and per cap
ita averages for years other than she
census year. The so-calIed arithmeti-
cal method was adopted for comput-
ing these estimates. 1t is the simplest
and it has been shown by experience to
come nearer In accuracy In the major
ity Of cases than any other formula
It rests on the assumption that the in
crease in population each year since
the enumeration is equal to the annual
increase from 1900 to 1910.
The estimates of population for July
1, 1914, and the population April is,
1910, for all states are as follows.
