Our Population.

A LTHOUGH the population Of the
United States Is now at the high
water mark Of 114,31l,0 900 people. the
advance over last year was less than
the average for the last five years,
according TO the estimates Of the Ma
tional Bureau Of Economic Research,
and the opinion is that the once rapid
advance has now definitely slowed up.
That the regular increase in the
population has not been due to i'm
migration, but to the excess Of births
over deaths, is shown by figures COW
ering the last l6 years. In that period
there We're over Al 200, 900 births and
about 22,0O0,0O0 deaths, or an excess
of 100000 births. About 5.50o,00O
were added by immigration, bringing
the total increase to about 24,o00,o 900,
OF this number immigrants formed
little more than a fifth.
Both the birth and the death rates
In the United States are falling, but
the death rate is falling faster. Ten
years ago the birth rate was 26.3 for
each thousand persons. while today II
is 23.3, a decrease of II per cent. At
the same time the death rate has de-
creased from 1874 per thousand to IL,
a decrease of about 13 per cent.
In 1924 2.645,00 babies were born
and 1888 900 persons died, or one
death was compensated by two births.
If the number Of births and deaths
remain stationary in 1925, as Is very
likely. 10 babies will be born every
two minutes and five persons will die
in the same time.
Further studies by the bureau SHOW
ed that employment has again shrunk
to the prewar level, and that there
are now 3S persons out Of every 100
who earn a salary or wages. But
children, women and others not work
ing for money are almost as numerous
as this class. Employers and men and
women in business for themselves
make up onlv S1a per cent Of the pop
ulation, and the actual number is now
less than 1t was in 1915. 1t Is held
that the growth of large corporations
has kept down the number of indie
pendent business men.

LOGAN COUNTY J
TO HAVE BIG
STATE PARK
Place. To BE Dedicated To
Memory of Pioneers
of North Dakota

Fargo, NJ d., May l2.-Some seen
cry and some history and prospects
for a state park and recreational
center are outlined in the sixth of a
series of letters to the Associated
Press from Dana Wright, field man
for the state historical society. Mr..
Wright outlined his trip in connec-
ton with historical sites and hap
penngs around Bismarck, BraddOck,
Napoleon, Burnstad and Streeter.
"At Burnstad there is live bunch
of people," said Mr.. Wright, folks
who believe in helping themselves
and making their communities bet
ter places to live. Some people in the
eastern part Of the state would say
that they do not live in a very fav-
ored spot. Their country is located
OIL the plateau between the drainage
systems of the James and Miss ouri
rivers; they have hills and sloughs,
ravines and glacial moraines and a
visitor is apt to notice these pictures
que things first and overlook the
well-drained slopes and fields where
rich crops are raised. No one need
sympathize with Logan county peo-
pie with their comfortable homes and
good roads; all the county needs is
more OF the same kind Of people
they already have and when the ad-
vantages of the county are appreciat-
ed the people will come.

"Burnstad citizens recently invited
