crowd filled the court house an hour
before the meeting and many men and
women who came from remote sec
lions of the country failed to hear the
speech. At night meeting in Con-

COME TO KANSAS!
Population of State Increases
42,91S in Year.
In Last Five Years Increase
Was Only 5000.

A report submitted by ]. c. Mohler,
secretary of the state board of agricul-
ture, indicates that the population or
Kansas has increased Apis over 1915.
1t shows that eighteen of the twenty
two counties showing a decrease are
rural in character and pursuits. The
total population of Kansas on March
I, 1916, was 1,715,463.
Eighty-four counties have increased
in population, the greatest growth in
any one county being in Butler where
the oil fields are located. In fact,
practically all western counties show
an increase in population while many
of the counties IN the eastern half OF
the state are showing a decrease in
population. Montgomery co u n Y
shows the greatest decrease.
WyanGotte county easily leads in
population with 1880 inhabitants.
Sedgwick second with 1854 and
Shawnee third with 64,842. On ac-
count of alleged carelessness of Shaw
nee county enumerators figures for
this county collected in 1916 were
used only in fact, and the 1915 figures
were substituted.
Following is the table showing the
population by counties for 1916 and
7Q1E md their pain and losses.

western dope is that Illinois will come

Minnesota lines up against North
Dakota at Minneapolis. North Da-

is always in good training before the

Action Except Drake.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 14.-Close
followers of Missouri Valley football
today were looking forward to what
purported to be the first real line on
the merits of the different teams in
the championship hunt. The struggles
scheduled for today included every
team in the Missouri Valley confer
ence with the exception of Drake,
which had an open date. A list of the
conference games follows:
Nebraska VS.. Kansas AggieS, at Lin
coin.
Kansas VS.. Iowa State. at Ames,
Iowa.
Missouri VS.. Washington, at Column
bia, Mo.
Supporters of the Kansas Aggies
this year are jubilant over what they
term the best team ever turned out
from the school. Nebraska is in for
a merry battle if not for a beating,
they declare. Nebraska won last year
81 to 0.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 14.-Interest in
football in the Big Nine centers on the
Indiana-Chicago game here today.
This is the only contest between big
nine e1evens scheduled, and it is i'm
portant in that the loser will be elimi-
mated from the championship race.
Chicago went down to to 0 defeat
last Saturday at the hands of Carleton
college, an unheard of thing. But the
Maroons are expected to show more
fight today after a weeks grilling at
the hands of Stage.
Indiana's strength is unknown and
just how effective the work of the
