road to Mr.. A. Harner's; thence
on the Keysville road to the
bridge across Toms Greek, near
Maxell's Mill; he will then follow
the Stony Branch road past the
school house to Mr.. Sheeley's.
From this point the carrier will
go east of the Ridge road past
the school house to Mr.. Shee-
ley's. From this point the car
rier will go east to the Ridge
road, thence to Mrs. Nagle's
where he will connect with car
rier No. Is, from Taneytown by
collection boxes, then west on the
Bruceville road to Fourpoints,
where a collection box will be
placed at Roddy's Store. The
carrier will proceed from this
point via the Toms Greek Church
road, coming out on the fancy
town road near Mr.. VIM. Max
ellis residence, thence to Emmits-
burg. This route is 161 miles

1t may not be long before the
present system of postoflices, as
far as relates to the rural districts
of the county, is abolished and
the new plan instituted in its
place. If it works better than
the old one there can be no SEN
sible objection to the proposed
substitution.

CONTRACT AWARDED.
Mr.. Harry w. Bowers Will
Build the New Public School
on East Church Street For
$22, 800.

After many complications and
delays the County Commissioners
on Tuesday last accepted the bid
of Harry w. Bowers to erect the
new Female High School build
ing on East Church street for the
sum of $22, $40. This is a reduc-
ton of So, $50 over the lowest bid
that was put in q few weeks ago,
when the commissioners refused
to award the contract. The
present contract price is slightly
higher than the sum originally
intended, but it was found i'm.
possible to put up substantial
building with modern improve
ments and properly ventilated for
that amount. So other bids were
called for and some slight altera-
tions made in the plans to enable
the bidders to come within q
conservative distance of the S21,
600 mark.
There were five bids received
the last time and Mr.. Bowers
figures were the lowest. Work
has been started in demolishing
the present structure and the
school is to be ready for occu-
pancy in about six months.
The community will be glad to
learn that this matter has been
satisfactorily settled and that
their children will have in the
future comfortable and sanitary
quarters to perform their duties.

The Census and Persons Away
From Home During June.

The count of the people in the
United States will begin in all
parts of the country, June L, and
end in the cities two weeks
later and in the rest of the count
try before the close of the month.
The people are to be counted at
their places of residence, but as
many persons and families will
be away from their homes during
June there is some danger that
such persons will not be counted.
If they are not counted, the To-
cality in which they live will be
misrepreSented to that extent,
and in some cases this miSrepre-
sentation may be enough to affect
the representation in Congress of
the State from which they come.
Local pride and State pride,
therefore, should influence all
such abSentees to take reason
able precautions against being
omitted from enumeration in their
places of residence. Such omis.
siOns are most likely to occur in
the large cities where families
close their homes and go else
where for the summer. The oc.
currence of the Paris Exposition
this year is likely to increase the
number absent from this country.
In all cases of contemplated
absence the head of the family is
requested by the Census Office
to communicate with the super
visor of the district in which he
lives. He is also requested to
leave information regarding his
answers to the questions which
are to be asked with some relia-
BILE neighbOr who will agree to
see that it reaches the enumera-
tor OH his rounds. Such infor-
nation might better be left as a
memorandum in writing, as in
that case it is less likely to be
overlooked. The questions to
which answers are desired apply
primarily to the population, but
also to all farms and manufact-
uring establishments. They are
being published from time to
time in the press of the country.
By taking this trouble the alb
sent citizen will do justice to his
locality and his State, and ma
terially aid the Census Office in
the performance of its duties.
The census schedule will in .
clude inquiries about the age,
color or race, date of birth, con
juga! condition, number of years
married, place of birth, year of
immigration to the United States,
naturalization, occupation, num-
Der of months not employed,
school attendance, and ability to
read or write of all persons to
whom these questions are appli-
cable. In addition, inquiries
will be made about the owner.
ship of homes and farms, farm
acreage, valne and quantity of
farm products, amount of live
stock, etc.
Mr.. A. L. Harrington is the
supervisor for this district aud
the names of the enumerators
were published recently.
