a great deal. Look at the best
citizens Of Devils Lake: the citi-
zens who do something for them
selves and for the town. Not a
knocker among them. Look into
the. case of every knocker, and you
will find he is not very careful Of
his own affairs. A good many Of
them spend a great deal of their
time loafng around; some of them
do not pay their bills. There is
something wrong with every gos-
sip; there is something wrong with
every knocker. A man who gives
his own business intelligent atten-
ton, hasn't time to sit around and
roast the neighbors.

WEST SHOWS LOSS
Rapid Decrease from Previous Rate
Of Growth of Population.
FROM CENSUS BUREAU.
For the First Time in History the
South Has Increased More Rapid.
IL Than the North How
Country Ii Divided.

Washington, Jan. 14.-The director
Of the census has announced the per-
centage of increase of population in
different parts Of the country, show
ing for the last decade a rapid decrease
from previous rate Of growth of pop
ulation in the west, a less marked, but
decided decrease in the north and q
slight increase in the south. For the
first time in the history of this country
the population of the south has in
creased somewhat more rapidly than
that Of the north. The east geo
graphically is included in the term
north. The rate of growth in the
north, west and south is far more
nearly the same than it vel has been.
How Country L. Divided.
The official announcement divides
the country as follows: West, from
the Pacific to the eastern boundary Of
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and
New Mexico; north and south, the re-
spective sides Of a line formed by the
Potomac and Ohio rivers and the
southern boundaries of Missouri and
Kansas. The percentage of increase
from 1860 to 1880 was 61.9 in the north,
4s.4 in the south and 1856 in the west,
while in the last 20 years, 1seO-19O0, it
was 48.7 in the north, 1873 in the south
and 1918 In the west.
Prior to the civil war the northern
states nearly doubled in population
with each 20 years, while in the south
ern states the increase of population
was only ebout two-thirds as great.
Rate OF Growth.
Since 1860 the rate of growth in
both parts Of the country has been
much less, but while the rate Of growth
in the north has decreased steadily,
that in the south during the 20 years
from 1860 to 1880 has been slightly less.
During the last 20 years there has been
no substantial difference in the rate of
growth Of the two sections. The per
cent. of increase Of growth Of these
regions during each of the last two ten
year periods follows $4,000, north,
AS; south. pol; west, 71.3; 1s90-190O,
north, 10; south, 2s.4; west, $40.
If the comparison is Limited to the
states east of the Mississippi river,
CHASING Minnesota and Louisiana with
the western states, the result is slight
ly different. It would show the in
cFeas to be: 10000, north, sO.1;
south, 16; 189o-19Oo, north, 1919; south,
IT..
Nearly the Same
When the trans-A1ssi ssipH states
are omitted, the rate Of growth in the
north is slightly greater than that in
the south, but the present difference
between the two sections in this re-
spect is about half what it wac between
1880 and 1890, and less than one-sev-
enth of what it was between 1850 and
1860.
The frontier as a large area Of rapid
but intermittent growth is no longer
an important factor In the progress OF
American population. and the rate OF
growth in the several great vi OF
the United States is now nearly the
same.

B.. G. Madden, third assistant
postmaster general, has given no.

piration Of the time paid for. It's

are not half strict enough. The
pound rates are taken advantage
of by schemers who are not emit
tied to them, and when the depart
ment presses down on the schem-
ers, the schemers rush to the
newspapers for assistance. eve

cry. And then the newspaper
publishers, although they have not
been injured, appeal to their con-
gressmen, and the schemers are re-
instated in the mails. The post
office department has never shown
the slightest disposition to inter-
fere with legitimate publications.
It is always popular to "roast"
railroads and corporations. Any
man who makes a success in life is
a fit subject for a roast, and the
greater the success he has attained
the hotter the roast dished up for
him. j. j. Hill has done more for
the northwest than any other ten
men-yes, any hundred. And no
man has received, and is now re-
ceiving SO much abuse from the
newspapers as j. j. Hill. Who
started the fight on the merger
scheme? Was it the people who
started the agitation? How many
people in Minnesota took any in
terest in the affair until the Min
neapolis and St. Paul papers set
up a howl. It is a remarkable CO.
incidence that the Twin City pa
pers which are fighting Mr.. Hill
are controlled by men who have
interests in opposition to the. pres
ident Of the Northern Securities
company. In due time the people
will understand the whole scheme.
In the meantime it will be as we'll
to remember that the mas still
rule, and that whenever the time
arrives that the railroads become
oppressive, the people will regulate
them-and properly, too. While
the people are largely dependent
upon the railroads., the railroads
are wholly dependent upon the
people. As the people prosper the
railroads prosper. Therefore it is
to the interest of the railroads to
maintain a policy that will contrib.
ute most to the prosperity of the
people. This idea is not entirely
original with US, but it is none the
less true on that account.

If the northern company that is
going into the business shall sue
ceed at it it will not only benefit
itself very mucn, but will encour-
age the development Of an indus
try that may become immensely
important to the South. 1t is a
fact which will be admitted by all
who have tried the sweet potatoes
raised in the north, the west and
the South that those which the
South produces are incOmparably
the best of the lot when they reach
the market in good condition.
With proper care they can be
marketed promptly and delivered
in perfect shape.
The demonstration that this can
be done will solve a very interest

APRoEITARLE CROP.

It is undoubtedly true that there
are many crops now neglected in
the South that may be cultivated
very prOfitably without neglecting
the great staples of agricultural
production in this section.
One Of the most promising OF
these is sweet potatoes. They
grow we'll on almost every variety
Of soil in the South and the de-
mand for them is practically un-
limited.
industrious and eDterprising
farmers in Georgia and other
Southern states raise profitable
crops of sweet potatoes every year
en- rich land and poor land and
many Of these farmers are increas-
ing constantly their production OF
this wholesome food crop.
But the raising of potatoes for
shipment has never been under
taken in the South very generally
or on q large scale.
The supposed difficulties which
deter our farmers from trying to
make a money crop out Of sweet
potatoes are what they regard as
the probable cost of saving and
shipping.
According to the New York
Commercial a northern company
has arranged to raise sweet pOta-
toes in the South on a very large
scale and to ship them to the great
markets OF the country when first
gathered, a time when the demand
for them is active and prices con-
sequently good.
The Commercial is very much
interested in this enterprise and
says Of it:
s'If this company can provide a
Dlan that will make the shipment
Of southern sweet potatoes in large
volumn not only practical but pro-
fitable, it will prove a boon to
thousands Of southern farmers
for the crop is easily and cheaply
raised and deserves better treat
ment than It has had in the past.
A chief difficulty lies in the pro-
viding Of steady demand at the
north for the tubers. They must
be popularized. The fact is that
we don't know how to cook sweet
potatoes up here. II they could
be had cooked in the style that the
