CENSUS TO SHOW
GREAT CHANGES
Remarkable Shifts In Population
in United States Because
Of European War.
CALCULATIONS ARE UPSET
Figures for 1920 Expected to Reveal
Striking Changes In Growth
and Character Of Popula.
ton Of This Country.

~ Washington:-StfihiRgSsaeh anges IN,
the growth and character Of the popu-
lation Of the United States are ex-
pected to be shown by the 1920 cen
sus, preparations for which are under
way.
The shifting Of population because
Of the war has upset the calculation
Of census experts who since 1917
have considered it useless to attempt
to estimate population Of any other
units than states. Before that it was
possible to predict with fair de-
gree of accuracy the number Of per-
sons in any given locality.
The "center of population" it is be-
lieved, has stopped it's westward move
ment, which was continuous from 1890
to 1910, when it was located In Bloom
ington, Ind. This is because indus
trial cities in the central east, such
as Cleveland and Detroit, have been
growing at a greatly increased rate
during recent years, as have manu-
featuring centers farther east. For
merly, the Rocky mountain and Pa
cif1c coast states increased in popu-
lation with twice the rapidly Of east
ern and central states.
Notifications Are Seen.
During this year, however, certain
notifications of the usual situation
may be made. The opening Of recla-
nation projects in the west, the re-
sumption of immigration, and other
causes, it is thought, will change the
abnormal distribution. There will also
be tendency to return to normal
now that the war has ended.
Pronounced changes are expected
also in the CONSTITUTION of the popu-
latiOn"-the ratio Of males to females,
the proportions Of native and for
eign stock and the age distribution.
When a city experiences a rapid
growth due TO Industrial and COM
mercial activity the gain in population
is largely made ~ of persons in the
young and early middle ages. Among
these persons there will be more men
than women. For example, in Okla
homa City, where the population grew
nearly 500 per cent between 1900 and
1910, the ratio of males to females
in the latter year was 126 to 100, and
81 per cent of the population was be-
tween Is and As.
Percentage Of Negroes Drops.
The coming census is also expected
to show continuation Of the move
ment from the country to the city,
which has been going on for many dec
AIDES. A further decrease in the pro-
portion Of negro population is ex-
pected. In 1900 negroes numbered
11.6 per cent and in 1910 1o.7 per
cent.
It is expected that the percentage
Of foreign-born will show a marked
decline, due to the discontinuance of
immigration. In recent years the ma
tive-born population did not increase
as rapidly as the foreign-born. Fewer
persons will be found, it is predicted,
who are unable to speak English.
In 1910 this number was 28.8 per
cent Of the population.
The law requires the census bureau
to make an actual count every ten
years, and an estimate for cities and
states every year by arithmetical pro-
gression. Since 1917, however, the bu-
reau has not estimated cities.

FARMERS PLAN =
4 WEEKLY PAPER
Vote to Take Page in Yakima
American and Call it Benton
County Free Press

Benton county farmers are to have
a newspaper. This was determined at
a meeting of stockholders of the Ben
ton County Free Press association held
at Richland Wednesday evening. About
80 stockholders were present. Elihu
Bowles of Prosser, acted as chairman
of the meeting and j. R. Gardner of
Richland, secretary. Stockholders were
present from every part of Benton
county.
The meeting was scheduled for eight
o'clock. Promptly at 1855 every light
in town went out, and remained out
for one hour and ten minutes. Not
until farmer had driven out into the
country and brought in a fine, big gas
lamp and installed it in the hall did the
electric lights again appear.
Reports of committees showed that
approximately TOO had already been
subscribed for the new paper. The
authorized capital stock is $4,000.
Drafts of incorporation papers and by
laws were presented, but the meeting
voted to consider two main questions
before taking up the details of organ
ization. These questions were, how
the paper is to be published, and what
its policy shall be.
Discussion developed three alterna-
tives in the matter of issuing the pa
per. The first provided for the pur-
chase of a plant; the second, having
the paper printed in another shop; the
third, buying page in the American,
to be designated the Benton County
Free Press. At 1880 vote was TAX
en- on the three questions, with the re-
suit that one vote was cast for the
first proposition, one for the second
proposition, and the remainder of the
votes for the third proposition.
The question will now be sent out
to a referendum vote of all the stock
holders, a large number not. being
present at this meeting.
While no stakeholder spoke in favor
of conducting an exclusive political
propaganda paper, the decision was
unanimous that the paper must sup
port Independent producer in political
action, in the nature of political
union of all producers in county and
state. On this point the vote was
unanimous. .-....
A further meeting to complete the
organization will be held within two
weeks, at the call of the chairman and
secretary.-Yakima American.

explanation County Agent Lee M.

of feeding the world. Questions OF

one pianist and 'celloist. The music
was all high class and each and every
performer an artist on his particular

Gated the satisfaction of the Hall full

TWENTY-EIGHT PERSONS
ARE BURNED TO DEATH.

While 300 persons were attending
dance last Saturday night on the
second floor of two-story building in
the town Of Vile Plat, Louisiana, an
oil stove exploded in a grocery store
on the first floor. When the fire be-
came known, some cool-headed person
succeeded in emptying packed NOV
ing picture show in the same building,
but the three-hundred on the dance
hall floor became panic-stricken and
in the attempt to escape by mar
row stairway, those less able to fight
their way were trampled to death or
knocked down and left to perish In
the flames. Twenty-eight, mostly wo-
men and girls, lost their lives--many
more were injured. When men lose

Federal Judge John E. Mccall, at
Memphis, Monday, in charging his
grand jury, said that he believed that
much Of the high cost of living might
be charged to the income tax, that
merchants and manufacturers are al
lowed to make a profit great enough
to enable them to pay their income
tax and at the same time to make the
profit they made before, provided
such profit be reasonable-and all, all
the dealers can get is reasonable"
when they are left to define the reas-
onableness. However the Judge did
not utter the last part of the forego-
ing sentence.
