CENSUS BULLETIN.
Indicates Increase in Population In
West and South.

Washington. Jan. l4.-The director OF
the census announced today the per-
centage Of increase of population in
different parts OF the country showing
for the last decade a rapid decrease
from previous rate of growth Of popu-
lation in the West, a less marked, but
decided decrease in the North, and a
slight increase In the South. For the
first time in the history Of this coun-
try the population of the South has In
creased somewhat more rapidly than
that OF the North The East geographi-
cally Is included In the term North.
The rate OF the growth In the North,
West and South Is far more nearly the
same than It ever has been. The Off
cial announcement divides the coun-
try as follows;
West. from the Pacific TO the eastern
boundary Of Montana, Wyoming, Colo
RADIO and New Mexico North and
South. the respective sides of line
formed by the Potomac and Ohio rlv-
ers and the southern boundaries OF Mis-
souri, and Kansas, The percentage OF

I'm the West while In the last twenty
years, 1SS0-l9O0, II was 49, In the
North, ass In the South, and 1918 in
the West.
Prior 20 the Civil war the Northern
states nearly doubled In population
with each twenty years, while IN the
lation was only about two-thirds as
great. Since 1860 the rate of growth In
both PARTS OF the country has been
much less. but while the rate Of growth
I'm the North has decreased steadily,
that in the South during the twenty
wears from 1860 TO 1850 has been slight
