GITY POPULATION INOREASES FAST Rate of Growth of Municipali- ties Greatly in Excess of Rural Districts. Washington.—Cities are increasing in population 71-2 times as fast as |! rural districts, the census bureau dis- | closed in a compilation covering ap- f proximately 85 per cent of the new F census, The figures indicated that the completed census would show the ma- jority of the population to be city dwellers. For the last 10 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 10 years. All centers, even the small country hamlets and towns, showed a greater proportionate increase than the purely rural districts. The great- est Increases, however, were by cities of 10,000 or more tuhabitants. Although showing a check in the rate of population growth for the coun- try as a whole, the bureau's figures in dicated that the complete census would place the population of the continen- tal United States at approximately 105,768,100, a gain of 13,795,840, or 15 per cent. Cities will absorb practically all of thie increase, it being estimated that 12,172,800 would reside in towns of 2500 or more inhabitants, and the small hamlets. For the coun itself, the increase would be Such a movement of the people will place the urban population at approxi- mately 64,796,100 and the rural pop- ulation at 60,972,000. In 1910 the ru- ral population outstripped that of the citles by almost 7,000,000, there being 49,348,882 in the country and 42, ° 383 in the cities. U. S. PUBLIC DEBT « GUT $237,315,995 Washington.—There was a decrease of $237,315,995 in the public debt of the United States during the month of September, according to an an- nouncement by the treasury depart- ment. The total gross debt of the country September 30, had been reduced to $24,087,356,128. This decrease was due, it was an- nounced, to the fact that the govern- ment no longer was paying out funds for operation of the railroads and | | Other essentially war expenditures. The statement bore out the prediction of Secretary Houston that the entire receipts of the country now were con- siderably in excess of the ordinary dis- bursements, 'PLAN FARMER-LABOR BANKS Hillyard to Get First One, According to Promoters. Spokane, Wash.—Plans for the es- tablishment of a string of 30 farmer- labor banks in Washington and Idaho, including a large parent bank and clearing-house in Spokane, to be cap- italized at $1,000,000 were announced by Barney Donaldson, chairman of the formed farmer-labor service bureau. This bureau is now complet. | Ing arrangements for the opening of ~)a farmer-labor bank in Hillyard, for % which nearly $50,000 has already been | Subscribed. “Our plans are to establish the par- % ent or central bank in Spokane early | next spring,” declared Mr. Donaldson *® recently. “We expect that it will be capitalized at $1,000,000. The bureau has already picked out six towns in the state of Idaho in which we plan to establish banks to be capitalized at from $25,000 to $50,000. “Within two or three years we be- lieve that 30 banks will have been | established in Washington by farmers and wage-earners under the direction of the bureau.” Sugar Stocks are Enormous. Boston.—The drop in sugar prices caused a shrinkage in value of at least $250,000,000, according to an estimate made to Attorney-General Allen by Edwin F.
