A great majority OF the new resi-
dents are from the country, altho
considerable number have come here
from other towns. Many of the latter
have taken rooms until such time as
homes viii be available and others
are teporarily housed in hotels.
Busy Days for Moving Man.
These are the busy days FOR the
moving man. The last four days, ac-
ccrding to one o. the leading trans
fer men, have been the busiest In the
History OF the city. Days have been
too short to accommodate all the NOV
'rs and the work has been continued
until late into the nights,
The exceptional rush started Mon
day. when the vans were busy un-
til a late hour. Tuesday the rush in
creased and it reached its height on
Wednesday, when several families
were moved after night. Thursday
there was little decrease in the work
and Thursday niGht found vans still
hauling household furniture from one
Ee.c hborhood to another.
When Neiehborhoods Change.
The greatest change in the in
habitants of any section of tho city
has been in the southwest portion.

Calities. every house vacated being
occupied by newcomers.
In many instances vans with fur
niture of an incoming family have
driven to the rear OF the house to
unload before the first load OF fur
nitUre belonging to the departing
family has been pulled away from
the front door. often Mrs. Browns
tahby makes the acquaintance Of
Mrs. Jones' poodle while housed UNI
der the same roof for the passing
hour But Mn. Jones and Mrs. Brown
run a critical eye over the furniture
hcfore exchanging greetings. Mrs.
Jones. perhaps. will resent the intru-
sion of Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Brown
will have her own ideas Of how Il
house should look when vacated.
Is the Town Growing?

ano HEAVIER. repeating the queury pat
TO him I'm saw she is. I've helped
move dozen this week, and every
house We emptied was housing now
family before night. And them mat
moved in We're new ones. Nest OF
'em come from the country.
This movin' amt play but we Get
a lot of fun along with it. We drove
up TO one house about noon and the
family hadn't got their truck rea dy
for easy handlin'. Out in the back
yard was hayrack full OF goods
with woman and three kinds
perChed on q bundle of beddin.
An that woman was mad. SHE'D
been there all mornin'. she said
and the one in the house "ouldR |
get out. OF course. she couldn't he
cause we didn't get there until We had
| finished another jon.
Well the one on the hay rack en-.
| couraged us to make time and ~ did
althO the one in the house WASH. in
near the hurry she was the dry she
/ ordered the vans. Under orders w
took a little from this room. and d
/ little from that and kept all the
rooms partly occupied until the last
load was moved. And the one on the
