Recalls Visit to Indiana.
Uncle J. W. Berger, one of the old
est citizens of Murray, and who has
been here for a long time, coming
in 1S5S, which is seventy-two years
ago, while speaking with a repre
sentative of the Journal recalled a
visit which he and the father, Enos
Berger and family made from Win
terset, Iowa, to northern Indiana, in
the summer of 194S, which is eighty
two years ago.
Mr. Berger recalls that his father
had an opportunity to secure an old
tpring wagon, which was very delapi
dated and taking the irons portions
supplied the wood and made a new
spring wagon. Then during the early
summer departed for their old time
home. Mr. J. W. Berger being but
two years of age. However he re
tained a vivid recollection of the trip
and the visit.
He recalls the pointing out of Lake
Michigan by the father, and many
other instances. One was that the
father said when we get to uncles
place you will see him sitting on the
fence in front of the house eating
an apply.
Sure enough when they arrived,
there sat uncle on the fence eating
an apple. The summer was much
like the present one, turning dry dur
ing the summer and staying dry un
til the fall. As they came back they
found it difficult to obtain water to
drink and for the horsed. They came
to a farm and saw a well along the
fence near a house and the father,
Enos Berger, stopped and going to
the well was going to draw a buc
ket of water that the kiddies might
have a drink, but the man of the
house came out and ordered them to
move on and not take any water,
notwithstanding they were nearly
famished.
They however, got water about
a milr further on. Ten years after
wards in 1S5 8 they came to Nebras
ka ar.d crossed the Missouri rirer at
Rock Bluffs and the first night they
were here there was a heavy rain
which covered the entire bottoms of
liock Creek at Hock Bluffs, and an
instance which Mr. Berger never
forgot, during the seventy-two years
he has lived here.

census supervisors in the various
states after completing the enumer
ation which began April 2.
Only one district in the United

census supervisor placed its popula
tion at 1,319.
The total figure for the United
States population is. however, sub
ject .to revision in the census bureau's
official announcement, which is not
expected for another week or more.
Territories of the United States

total, bring the nation's grand total
of population to 137,501,561. This
figure includes an estimate for the
Philippine islands, whose census is
controlled by the insular govern
ment, which has not made an enum
eration for several years.

Continental United States had 105,
710,620 people ten years ago, while
the nation with its outlying posses
sions totaled 117,859.395.

the last ten years, despite restricted
immigration and a declining birth
late. There was an increase of 17,
018.523 people in the decade, cotn
pared with the previous record In
crease for a ten year period of 15,
977,691, made between 1900 and

In rate of growth, the last decade
made a better showing than that
which ended in 1920. The increase
was 16.1 per cent, compared with
14.9 per cent from iai0 to 1920, and
21 per cent per cent from 1900 to
