STATE FOUND TO
BE PROSPEROUS
%Interchurch World Movement Survey
Shows Considerable Advance
ment In Wealth

Mitchell, s d., April 2S.-Prosperity
for South Dakota! This is the out
standing feature of a newspaper scoop
just completed from a thorough survey
of the state. made by the Interchurch
World Movement and issued even In
dvanc of the United States censas
report.
The remarkable growth and pros
perity of South Dakota for the past
ten years has brought bank deposits
up to an average of $416.62 for every
man, woman and child in the state.
There are enough automobiles owned
by South Dakota families to carry the
entire population to a zone of safety In
one trip, should the state suddenly
start to settle back to it's old position
as the bottom OF a prehistoric sea In
ether words. there Is an automobile
for every six and one half people In
the state.
The population OF the state as OF
January, 1920. compiled from every
available source of information, is CIV
on as 675, 900. The total bank deposits
Of the state, amount to $2S1,221,90
and license records show that there
are in use 100,2S4 cars and 1857
trucks or a total of 103,9S1.
The farmers cooperative movement
has spread rapidly and with great sue
cess during the past few years, and is
shown on the Interchurch World Sur
vey to comprise at the present time
$40 grain dealing associations and
over 100 cooperative general stores.
besides several newer corporations
formed to buy and market live stock.
The boys and girls club movement
Is an educational and productive en-
terprise which has met with spectccu-
lar success and aroused the united
support of the agricultural industries.
In the sixty-four organized counties
OF South Dakota there are n hum
dred and sixty-one boys and girls.
clubs. One club girl raised and sold
three pigs at an average Of STA apiece
TO make enough money to pay her
expenses through college.
1t is the purpose of the Interchurch
World Movement to compile these fig
ures in order that they may be used
as an accurate working basis for the
execution OF the church program. The
survey has been tabulated by G. o.
Denies of Brookings. Speaking OF the
showing of the survey for South Dako-
Ia, Mr. Denies said:
"These figures showing the prosper
ity of our great state stand out as a
challenge to'the whole people to make
our churches as prosperous and pro-
gressive as we have made our material
affairs"

The fact that fewer births were
recorded in 1919 than for 1918, while
1t may be in part due to the war, also
may be due to indifference On the
part. of the general public as to reg
istration of births and deaths.
While the law of the state contains
the requirements &or complete regis
tration, the Importance of these APP
parently does not impress many peo-
pie as II does In older communities,
where settlement of points Of law SO
often hinge on such records. As the
fee for reporting such data to the
state is only twenty-five cents, many
whose duty it is to report will not
take the trouble, but primarily II is
the neglect of the general public:
The vital statistics department
finds it's work hampered by failure
of officials to enforce compliance with
the law in many cases. Justices OF
peace who issue burial permits fail TO
make reports, physicians fail to report
births. and states attorneys decline to
prosecute for such failures.
Federal authorities have recognized
the reports of some states sufficiently
tc include these states in the regis
tration area" South Dakota was In
this list for a time but was rejected
because the federal authorities consid-
cred the death reports as incomplete.
There Is a national movement by the
League of Women Voters to get all
states included in this registration
area, as fast as their complete reports
will warrant 1t, on account of the i'm
portance OF such registrations APP
parently the trouble in this state is
In reports of births and deaths, as
marriages, divorces and naturaliza-
tions must be made a record in the
Offices of clerks of courts.
While influenza led the death list
in 1918 with 1847. it also leads in 1918
with 700. Pneumonia took 544 in 1918
and 3S1 in 1919, and tuberculosis 307
in 1918, and 273 in 1919.
