a tendency to return to normal now
that the war is ended.
Pronounced changes are expected
also in the constitution of the popu-
lation"-the ratio of males to females,
the proportions Of native and foreign
stock, and the age distribution. When
city experiences a rapid growth due
to industrial and commercial activity,
the gain in population is largely made
up of persons in the young and early
middle ages. Among these persons
there will be more men titan women.
For example, in Oklahoma City, where
the population grew nearly 500 per
cent between 1900 and 1910, the ratio
of males TO females in the latter year
was 126 to 100, and So per cent of the
population was between 15 and IS.
The coming census is also expected
to show a continuation of the move
ment from the country to the city,
which has been going on for many de-
cades. A further decrease in the pro-
portion Of negro population is ex.
pected. In 1900 negroes numbered
11.6 per cent and in 1910 107 per cent.
1t is expected that the percentage of
foreign-born will show marked de
cline, due to the discrimination of
immigration In recent years the
native~born population did not in
crease as rapidly as the foreign-born.
Fewer persons will be found. 1t is pre-
dicted, who are unable to speak Eng
lish. In 1910 this number was 22.S
per cent of the population.
The law requires the census bureau
to make an actual count every ten
years, and an estimate for cities and
states every year by arithmetical pro.
gression Since 1917, however, the
bureau has not estimated cities.

PAVED ROADS
Donnellson Review.

On Monday Des Moines county,
by a majority Of 1923, voted to pave
their forty miles of primary roads.
The material project, as well as the
increase in street car fares, voted
on at the same time, were both de-
feated.
On October 7th Lee county Will
vote on whether they want to au-
thorize the supervisors to proceed
with the hard surfacing OF the pri-
mary road system. Don't get tsis
mixed in your minds and imagine 1t
is bond issue-for 1t isn't. If we
are going to take advantage Of the
government aid, you must give she
supervisors permission so to do.
They will do just as much hard sur
facing as the money received from
the government and the auto tax
will take care of. Later, IL the
people want to vote bonds and
finish It all at once, that will be
another matter.

few stomachs are strong enough to
grapple with all conditions OF restau-
rants, hotels, clubs, depots and ban
auets. The safe plan is to be pro
vided with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, that you may eat rich and palat-
able food served or selected and not
be troubled with gas. sour rfsings or
such forms of indigestion. These
tablets digest food, they assist the
stomach secretions and for this
reason people who travel away from
home and must eat as 1t is served
may play safe by taking one or two
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal.
You can get these tablets in any
drug store anywhere In the United
States or Canada, which shows IN
what general favor they are among
those who have learned how to enjoy
their meals.

assist Coach John F. Miller with the
football team. 1t is rumored here
that Coach Jimmie Phelan, before
leaving for San Francisco, where he
will go into the building material
business, was offered an attractive
salary by the athletic department.
Phelan was one of the most success
full coaches and one of the most pop
ular men with the team that Missouri
has known in long time.
Coach Miller will be recommended
by Doctor Meanwell to be head coach
next year. Instead of the three coach
es that Missouri had last season there
will be only Miller and one line coach.
Coach c. R. Woody will assist when
ever his duties as freshman coach
will permit, but he will not be with
the Tigers during the entire season.
1t is known that Meanwell has sew
eral men in mind to take Kelley's
place, but whom he is trying to get
here is still mystery in Columbia.

Fifty years ago. instead of the clat-

stamping and snorting of horses and
the merry laughter of the dozen or
more occupants of big bob sled.
Mrs. ]. c. Gillespy, who was a stu
dent at Stephens College in those
days, says that the sleighing party
was reckoned one of the most enjoy
able events of the winter. "On every
moonlight night" said Mrs. Gillespy
1.-The streets were almost crowded
with sleighs. Every one who went
to dance or party went in sleighs
as long as there was any snow on the
ground. But now the automobile has
taken the place of the sleigh and ]

On all sides the passing of the
sleigh ride is bewailed by those who
saw the days of old. But Elmer Keel

there ever was. After heavy snow
