WASHINGTON, June 14 In Idaho, as elsewhere, the census office discovers that young men and women are drifting from the farms to the cities. This Is disclosed in a digest of figures showing the population of the state by age groups. , Other Investigations by the census office ahow a decided decrease In Illiteracy In the state as a whole and In Boise, but a marked Increese In Illiteracy at Pocatello, due to the Influx of a considerable foreign-born population. Details of the various summaries prepared by the census bureau follow: According to the census, 35 3 per cent, or more than of the people In the state of Idaho are either infants or children under 15 years of age; 8 9 per cent are youths or maidens 15 to 19 years s, are old, 37 4 per cent, nearly men and women in tha prime of life, being from 20 to 44 years old; while 18 3 per cent, being 45 years of age and over, are well along in middle life If they have not reached old age. one-thir- d, two-fifth- Striking Differences Shown. fhe urban population, as compared with the rural, shows some rather striking differences In age, the percentage 20 to 44 "years of age being 40.6 for the urban population, as compared with 36 2 for the rural, while the percentage under IS years of age Is 30.4 In the urban population as against 37 2 in the rural. These differences may Indicate larger families of children In the country than In the city, but probably indicate also the fact that country children, as they grow up, have a ten- -, dency to flock to the cities, thereby Increasing the active adult population of the cities at the expense of the rural districts. A little over one-ha- lf of the population, 64 2 per cent, are old enough to vote, being 21 or over; and in this class the men hit ll I' Within ten minutes, Rotarlant at their weekly luncheon yesterday "at the Hotel Utah, subscribed 62050 to the Pueblo relief fund.

Cooley of Ban Bernardino, Cal., who has been In the city attending the meetings of the Intermediate Rate association. Interest In Mr. Cooley was heightened because of the fact that he was born on the site of the hotel In which the luncheon was taking place. The visitor spoke briefly. He said that he was born In 1852, a period in Utah history which required development of the fighting Insttnct to combat tpe vicissitudes of pioneer life. However, he said the Instinct stood him In good stead, for even though civilization had reached Its highest farm In the west, formidable problems were constantly presenting themselves, not the least of which is that of shipping rates.
