Girls Comprise 55 Per Cent of Sshool Aae Children in Omaha, Census Shows The relative Increase of Omaha's population with reference to males nn<l females shows a steady In crease of the latter. This is re flected In the school census, which has just been completed for this year. School census for 1921 showed that females between 6 and 21 were 62.2 per cent of the total, while corresponding figures for this year show that the feminine popula tion Is 65 p°r cent of the total school age population. This In crease In the female population has been steady during the last four years, August Bpeeht, registrar of the health department, believes It may be "on account of the war.” Total persons of school age this year was 50.231, an Increase of 1,676 over last year. Of that total, 24,861 were males ami 25,370 fe males. These persons of school age were registered from 23,739 homes. The enumerators reported 26,812 homes without children of school age. Vacant homes were listed as 2,849, compared with 2,308 vacant ( last year. Members of the health depart ment state that the changing pro portions of males and females may be applied to the total population. Before the world war, 106 males were born in this country for every 100 females. It is believed by some that the .increasing survival of fe males may be attributed to the out door freedom which women have been adopting. -s Nebraska News Nubbins v__/ Harvard—While land owners around here are asking $150 an acre for their farms, a farm was sold here Satur day at a referee’s sale for $90.50.

Peter Rabbit had been out nil night. Yes, sir, he had been over In the Green Forest all night. Sow day light had come and he was still In the’Green Forest. It would be foolish to start across the Green Meadows for the dear Old Briar Patch In broad daylight, so Peter decided to remain In the Green Forest. J.lttle, Mrs. Peter wouldn't like it. Probably she would worry. Peter was sorry for that, hut he didn't see any way to help It. Truth to tell, Peter was quite willing to stay In the Green Forest. He went straight to a certain bramble tangle and In the middle of this he settled himself In comfort. He felt quite as safe there as he would have felt in the dear Old Brier Patch. He was sleepy, for, as I said before, he had been out all night. It was very quiet and peace ful there and he ' was soon fast asleep. When lat»r In the day he awoke he still felt hazy and was quite satisfied to remain where he was. But along about the middle of the afternoon he felt like stretching his legs and decided to see If there was anything going on In the Green Forest. He crept out of the bramble tangle, hopped over to the Lope Little Path and started down this. He wasn't bound for any particular place.
