POPULATION TOTAL GIVEN FOR COUNTRY Census Bureau Announces 105,983,108?Outlying Precincts Yet To Report. Washington, Oct. 7.?The 1920 population of continental United States was announced today by the census bureau as 105,983,108. This was an increase of 13,710,842, or 14.9 per cent. Since 1910. Today's - total does not Include the populations of outlaying possessions which Will be announced as soon as the figures for Alaska and the military and naval services abroad are tabulated. It is estimated, however, that those possessions have 12*250,000 inhabitants, so that the total number of people living under the American flag is in rpund numbers 118,000,000. .The figures for continental United States compare with 9,1.972,266 ten years ago and 75,994i575 20 years ago. The increase for the last ten decades, however, fell 2,266,848 or 6.1 per cent, below that of the pre ceding decade. "? . i Director Rogers of the census by-1 reau, in. a formal statement, attribut- J I ed this reduction to the almost com-| plete stoppage of immigration during the world war, -an increase in emigration during the same period, deaths in the influenza epidemic of 1917-18 and war casualties. The statement neted that the trend of population from the country to the city had been greatly accentual ed since 1910. , For the first time % . in the corintry's history, it is said more than half the entire population v waJr now living in urban territory. Preliminary tabulations, Mr. Kog-1 ers said, showed that 54,816,209 ori 5I.d per cent, of the people were! living in incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or rpore and, 50,966,899 or 48.1 pfcr cent, in rural territory. This situation was clearly reflected in the figures as to farms in the country which also w$re;niade public today. THese plated the total of ftiems at 6,459,998, an increase of j only 98,496 or 1,5 per cent, in ten . > years as against at increase of 624,13d Or i 0.9 jper cerit." during the de cade endea m * xv. that while to-; da^a~ fibres, eh tlie country's population wfeJ^ iJi^eliiiinary aftd subject to revision, the final official population as transmitted to congress inDecember for ap^okio^ejt'^iirpos- j e* was not, likely to be greatly dtf-1 feTent, although it might be slightly larger through the addition of popu-, lafion for small sections claimed not ' - ? .-Ar Kw to have census, enumerators. j 4 Revised figures for(a number of cities arid counties are yei to be announced, but th? main work of the ' 1920 Census is completed after nine month* of labor. ? I ; '.'the census bureau to date has s?eftt 40 weeks in supervising the enumeration and tabulation of the e<mutr3rs millions. A similar period elapsed before the country's population was made public in 1910. This year, lio^ver, all minor civil divisions and incorporated places of eaeh state have been made public with the announcement of-the United total, while in 1910 the census (bureau's objective was to arrive at the total as soon as possible, leaving fiVe states and their, county civil divisions to be announced later. The Work of the 13th census did not begin until April-5 and ended December 10, 1$10. On January 1, this year, 85,000 enumerators began counting the men, Women and children of the country and collecting certain information concerning the nation's resources. Under the direction of Sam LV Rogers, chief of the census bui reau, enumerators collected data on I farms, manufactures, forest and oil I production, and it is this work which ~*!n ?** *"* nf thp bu Will , WCUI'31 uvuyitvtvH v ?^ I reau fro i now on., A large force I of stati icians and clerks will be re tained to complete it.

It has been remarked before tha Newberry needs houses. There ar numerous vacant building: lots i town, but no vacant houses.
