In the rate of growth of the different

any other TO" long time. The range
is from a decrease Of 5.3 per cent in
Iowa, to an increase of 120 per cent
in Washington.
THE country" he said, els plainly
marked off in broad groups of states,
according to the differences in the
rates of increase. The states showing
rates of increase below 10 per cent
are Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana
