DIRER HARDWARE COMPANY, Covington, Ga.
For spokes and axles tough second growth highland hickory is
used For hubs and felloes the sturdy white oak is preferred.
This wood grows upon the mountain side. The ground nearly is hard
the climate severe. It has to fight for life. It has twice
the strength of oak and hickory that grows under softer condition..
Outdoors under shelter it remains for three to five years. The
sap dries in it, giving it a strength that’s kin to steel.

On the front bolsters of ThomhiW wagons
are heavy iron plates running along top and
bottom—connected by rivets’ that run , tear

Age in Georgia
According to the census 38.4 per
cent, or almost two-fifths of the people
in the state of Georgia are either in¬
fants or children under 15 years of
age: 10.6 per cent are young people 15
to 19 years old; 34.9 per cent, about
one-third are men and women in the
prime of life, being from 20 to 44 years
old; while 16.0 per cent, being 45 years
of age and over, are well along in mid¬
dle life if they have not reached old
age.

with the rural shows some rather strik¬
ing differences in age, the percentage
20 to 44 years of age being 44.8 for the
urban population as compared with
31.5 for the rural, while the percent¬
age under 15 years of age is 28.0 in
the urban population as against 41.8
in the rural. These differences may in¬
dicate larger families of children in
the country than in the city, but prob¬
ably indicate also the fact that coun¬
try children as they grow up have a
tendency to flock to the cities, thereby
increasing the active adult population
of the cities at the expense of the rural
districts.
Just about one-half of the popula¬
tion. 49.1 per cent, are old enough to
vote, being 21 or over. The males of
military or fighting age, 18 to 44. con¬
stitute 37.4 per cent of the male popu
ation and 18.7 per cent, or less than
one-fifth, of the total population.
( ili/ciiship of the Foreign-Born White
Population.
The bureau of the census, depart¬
ment of Commerce, today issued a pre¬
liminary statement giving the citizen¬
ship status of the foreign-born white
population 21 years of age and over,
as ascertained at the census taken as
of January 1, 1920.
Of the total foreign-born white pop¬
ulation in the United States, which
numbered 13,703,987 on the census
date. 12,198,334 were 21 years of age
and over; and of the latter number
6.928,027 were men and 5,570.307 were
women. For the men, the returns
show 3,314.577 naturalized, 1,116,698
who had taken out their first naturali
ation papers, 2,138,205 aliens, and 358,-
547 for whom the citizenship status
was not reported by the enumerators.
The corresponding figures for 1910
were as follows: Total foreign-born
men 21 years of age and over, 6,646,-
817; naturalized, 3,034.117; having first
papers, 570,772; alien, 2,266.635; citizen¬
ship not reported, 775,393.
The return show no great change in
the proportion or naturalized citizens
among men of foreign-birth, but tin
number who had taken out their first
papers in 1920 was nearly twice as
great as it was in 1910 and as a result
the proportion of aliens is considerably
smaller than it was ten years ago.
Of the 5,570,307 foreign-born white
women, 2,893.785 were reported as nat¬
uralized. 77,558 as having taken out
their first papers, and 2,226,690 as
aliens, and for the remaining 372,274
the citizenship was not reported. At
the census of 1920 a woman married
to a native or naturalized citizen of
the United States was returned as a
citizen, even though herself foreign
born; and a native-born woman marri¬
ed to an alien or to a foreign-born man
who had taken out his first naturaliza
tion papers only was returned as
alien. An unmarried woman born in
the United States is. of course, a
zen by birth; and for an unmarried for
eign born woman the process of natur
alization is the same as for a man.
returns as to citizenship of
were made at the census of 1910.

The University of Georgia has a way
of eamoflouging advertisement, mak
ing then) appear like news items.
We are just in receipt of a great
long article from the University head

boy. The remainder of the article is
typewritten in old sterotype form.
and the boy. nor the town he is from
is not mentioned a single time in the
article.
An institution that cannot run with
out the continued harassing of the
newspapers for advertising under the
guise of news, should not he run at
all, and for our part we have no free
advertising for the University of Geor
gia or for any thing else.
Our advertising is our stock in
trade—it is so to speak our meat and
bread—and we can just about as well
donate a dollar as a dollar’s worth of
advertising space.
The University of Georgia is a pub
lie institution supported hv the state
and institutions of this kind should
not pay high salaries to men to try to
beat the newspapers out of advertis
ing space.—Swainesboro Blade.
