WOMEN; OVER SUPPLY OF MEN The girls of Beaver have a better chance of petting married than the men judging- - from the population figures in the latest bulletin issued on the findings of the 1930 census. The girl's chances for matrimony are better than the men's for the simple reason that there are more marriageable males in the county than females- - There are 557 single men an only 323 single women, nearly one and four fifths man for every woman. Then if each girl is satisfied with her one, and four fifths boy friends instead of trying to corner two or three there should be no heart break in the county as far as the marriagable female population is concerned. But the men, that is a different story. Should all the girls be married off at once, there would still 1m? 234 nien wifeless. Other figures on the marital condition of the county prove interesting. There are 1,013 married men uiui 1,002 married women, eleven more husbands than wives. How the census bureau reconciles this discrepancy we do not know but assume that eleven wives were in California when the census taker made his rounds. Again consulting the figures it appears taat matrimony proves more fatal to the men than the women as there are 143 widowed women and only 78 widowel men. Also Beaver county ruen are more prone to seek the divorce court as a solution of their marital troubles than, women as there are 20 divorced men ami only 17 divorced women. The total number of mules and females over fifteen years of agef married, single or otherwise is: Males 1,G8; females, 1,485.
