DENSITY OF POPULATION.
An Interesting STUDY for Students of th
Population Problem.

An interesting Stuov Tor students OF the
Population Problem.
The following summary will be of in
terest to those who wish to compare
the relative density of the population
in different countries in Europe and
America. The number os inhabitants
given is that occupying square kilo-
meter, which is about SO of a square
mile.
In Europe, Belgium is the most
densely populated country, and in
America, Chill. The mean density of
the population by countries is thirty
two inhabitants to the square kilometer
in Europe. Doubtless the limited ex-
tent of territory in Chill give it the adj
vantage of more dense population,
because there is little waste territory.

Being aware Of the annoyance,
and sometimes loss to borrowers,
by having to wait weeks and
sometimes months for money, we
have organized a company with
sufficient cash capital to enable
us to cash mortgages as soon as
the papers are executed, and as
we pass upon all loans here in
stead of having to send them
East to be approved, we can GEM
plete a loan and pay over the
money in less than half the time
usually taken.
