u. S. SHOWS BIG GAIN
1920 Census Puts Total Popula.
ton at 1O5, 768,1OO.
Cities Growth is Seven and One-Half
Times That of Country Districts,
Figures Disclose.

Washington-Citie are increasing
in population seven and half times
as fast as the rural districts, the Cen
sus bureau disclosed in compilation
of figures covering approximately 50
per cent of the new census. The fig
ures indicated that the completed cen
sus would show the majority of the
population to be city jewellers.
For the last ten years, rural growth
was but one-third as great as it was
in the previous decade, but the cities
almost maintained their rate of
growth, getting five new inhabitants
from 1910 to 1920 for each six added
during the preceding ten years.
Cities over 10000 Grow Fastest.
All population centers, even the
small country hamlets and towns,
showed a greater proportionate in
crease than the purely rural districts.
The greatest increases, however, were
by cities of 10000 or more inhabitants.
While the bureau attempts no ex-
PLANTATION of the reasons for the in
creasing migration to the cities each
year during the last decade, presum-
ably higher wages, shorter working
day and home conveniences attracted
the rural population. especially during
the war.

rate of population growth for the

country as a wo1le, the figures lndl
Gated that the complete census would
place the total number of inhabitants
of the continental United States al
approximately los, 768,1 100, a gain OF
13,795,8 or fifteen per cent.
Cities will absorb practically all OF
this increase, it being estimated that
an increase of 12,172,700 comes from
towns of $500 or more inhabitants
while 1,623,040 were added to the
farms and the small hamlets.
Such movement of the people will
place the urban population at ap
proximately 54,796,1O0 and the rural
population at 5O,972,OO0. In 1910, the
rural population outstripped that OF
the cities by almost 100000 people
there being 49,34S,S83 in the country
and 42,623,3S3 in the cities.

81, 100000 Which Was Voted By
Congress Last Year Believed
Almost Depleted.
MORE MONEY NEEDED
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer
Handicapped Because of Lack of
Funds-Cannot Enforce Law
Unless He Has More Men.

Washington-The cost of prohibition
enforcement already threatens to
mount. The $4,50O,0OO which was
voted by Congress for the conduct of
the department last year is showing
signs of depletion, and it Is understood
that when John F. Kramer, prohibition
commissioner, submits his budget for
the next year the money that he will
ask for will be nearer $10000,000.
Prohibitionists in their fight for the
adoption of the Eighteenth amendment
always disparaged the assertions of
their opponents that the enforcement
of prohibition not only would deprive
the treasury of revenue, but add con-
siderable burden on the taxpayers.
Events have proved that the prohib-
itiOnists underestimated the task be-
fore the enforcement division. Mr..
Kramer has repeatedly declared he has
been handicapped by the fact that he
has not been able to get as many men
as he needed and every item that has
entered into the work of his depart
ment has far exceeded the figures
originally estimated by the prohibition
lists.
The money asked for will have to be
approved by David F. Houston, secre-
tary of the treasury, before it reaches
Congress, but it is believed to be the
present plan of treasury officials to
pass the matter sQuarely up to Con-
gress with the statement that Con-
gress will have to appropriate the
amount asked or accept the blame for
the failure to enforce the law to the
utmost

terial, and manufacturers, while on the
export side, food forms about one
fourth of the total, manufacturing ma
terial another fourth, and manufac-
lures one-half of the grand total"
Trade Balance Falls Off.
The statement concludes with the
opinion that the favorable trade bal
ance," namely, excess of exports over
imports, will be smaller this year than
at any time since 1915, and will prob
ably approximate $2,000,000000 as
against S4,00O,OO0,00O in 1919 and a
little more than $4,000 900 900 in each
of the three preceding years.

Both imports and exports continue
