Bride Tells ey MREVIEW Nee BOSTON POST PAGES| New England Daily of March 12 Contains Description of the , City and Its History The fame of Bismarck has pene- trated to the land of the Cabots and the sacred cod. In its issue of March 12, the Boston Post prints a descrip- tive review of North Dakota's capital city as among the famous towns of {the world. A ore of the paper was business blocks, hotels and auditorium are commented on as generally more jimpressive than similar features of ; towns of the size of Bismarck. The | aticle follows: Still another ‘ofthe ‘little cities of the United States which may be re- garded os famous because their names are known to all American school | children is Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota. The State is not so thinly settled as Nevada but it is sufficiently different from Massachu- setts to make it an amazing contrast. In this: state, nearly 95 per cent of the’ population live in places of 2500 |or more inhabitants. Only about | 200,000 of the nearly 4,000,000 resi- dents of Massachusetts live in what may be defined rural sections. In North Dakota, the percentage is al- most reversed. More than 86 per cent of the people there dwell in villages with populations of less than 2500 or on isolated farms. Massachusetts had, in 1920, 470 people living on every square mile of its territory. North Dakota had less than 10. Even Maine, with its huge inland forests which stretch in such lonely majesty from south to north, had more than 25. people living on every square mile within its boundar- jes. North Dakota is, for the most part, a vast rolling plain where it is easy enough to escape crowding. The biggest city in the state, ‘would be regarded as @ very little city indeed in Massachusetts. There were, at the time of the last census, only three cities in the enormous state with populations of 10,000 or more. Bismarck believes that it will get into that exclusive rank this year, when the new census is taken, but in 1920 it had a population of only 7122. From New England standpoints, Her Secret of Happy Marriage It’s d Ctime to Lose Vitality and Beauty saysSouthern Girl! “OR a young bride of twenty- one to lose her vitality and pep is disastrous, almost a sacrilege,” says Mrs. George E. Pillow, of Franklin, Va. “That, however,” she continues, “is just what I did.” “I had only been married a few months to a-delightful husband, who" went everywhere and did every- thing, and was just a typical sporte- man.
