THE CENSUS OF
HOME INDUSTRIES.
Is Being Taken in Alma This
Week.
.SIXTY-THREE MEN
WORKING THE STATE.
Government Agents Working in
Conjunction with State
Officials.

A census Of the manufactures Of
Alma began Monday morning when
Mr.. Geo. w. Moulton, from Lansing,
arrived in the city.
This state has been divided into eleven
districts, and every district has "a vary
ing number of agents 10 take the census
there being 63 employed for the state Of
Michigan. Mr.. Moulton was in Ithaca
last week, and from here be goes to St
Louis, then on through his district Of
the state
The object Of this census is to gather
complete statistics relating TO the manu-
facturers Of the state in relation to fac
tory products only. The items called
for in this census are, organization,
capital invested, number Of salaried
employees and their salary, average num-
Der of wage earners and wages, mis-
cellaneous expenses, cost Of supplies and
materials, value of products and power
As soon as the statistics for the state
are entirely completed they will be pub
lished showing the census Of the manu-
factures Of the state. The publication
of the census statistics will be made,
however, in such way as TO prevent
disclosure of the operation Of any in
dustrial establishment.
This census will under the United
States law, be taken every ten years,
beginning with 1905, but the state law
of Mich lgan requires the census of this
state to begin with 1904, so for this
reason Michigan is the only state that
will be taken this year.
MIR. Moulton will be here about three
DAYS. IL will take several mouths for
the reports of the entire state TO be made
out. consequently it will be some time
before being published and placed IN
the hands Of the people.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY TO
EVERY FARMER 5 HOME.
Special Agent Col. c. V. R Pond
is Working on New System.
GOOD ROADS ARE A
NECESSITY To GET It.
Hon. A. B. Darragh Deserves Much
Credit for This Good Work

The work of establishing county
system Of r. f. d. mail service is being
conducted by Col. @. V. r. Pond, Of the
y. ). postoffice department, with head
quarters at Ithaca This work Will re-
quire about three months time, and Mr..
Pond viii ride over every road in the
county, while establishing the system,
reporting to the government the condi-
ton in which he finds all our roads
We may now feel reasonably sure of
the long talked of county service. in
which every farmer in the county will
get his mail delivered to him free every
day, providing they viii do their part
in making and keeping good roads.
That ioes not mean roads which are
piled fol- Of sod, dumped here and there,
nor those full of "chuck" holes with
narrow, fat roadways. SO it stands
the farmer in hand TO grade and gravel
their roads in a proper shape.
Free delivery is one of the greatest
benefits the farmers have today, and it
is TO their interest, il they wish to re-
tain the system and have it improved,
to pay more attention TO the improve
ments OF the roads, and do their part.
Gratiot county will be the first in the
eleventh district to have general free
delivery and it is to Congressman Dar-
ragh's influence and persistent work
that every farmer in the county will be
able to have his mail delivered at his
door.
Another important matter in this con-
nection is the condition of the mail boxes
along the routes. The postoflice depart
ment laws read that, "all holders Of
boxes on the rural routes SHALL have
their names painted on the boxes in
good plain letters and KEPT there"
This is for the benefit of the carriers
and his deputies when called upon to go
over the route as he is unfamiliar with
the owners OF the boxes, therefore he
cannot deliver the mail il the name is
off, and the owner is liable to have his
box taken.up. and bis mail discontinued.
The great bulk OF mail matter which
is at present handled by the four routes
out Of Alma. as given in Postmaster
Browns statement for the month Of
July, shows the extent Of the rural mail
business, as il is under the present sys-
tenn, and an indication OF what II would
be under the one now being established.

Waste ON the Farm.

have heard or read of a man ex-
cusing waste on western farms by say
ing the farms are so large and produc-
tive that it is cheaper to waste much
than to save it. 1t is true about many
farms there is a fussy economy that is
penny wise ana pound foolish" that
"pours in at the Spite and let run out
at the bung-hole.'' the emulation of
which one does not care to recommend;
but surely there must be an economic
misadjustment about a business that is
so large and productive that it is cheap
ed to waste part of the product than 10
save it, Such a condition of affairs
would suggest a business bigger than
the man conducting it, and the logical
thing for him to do would be to trim
sail, so his speed would balance his
carrying capacity.

OBJECT TO 20 MILL SCHOOL TAX
Residents of District No. 33 Think the
Levy Is Too High.

The residents of school district No. SO,
Shawnee county,. are Directing strenu-
ously to the tax levy of 20 mills, which
the school board of that district voted at
recent meeting.
Quite number of the people called up
on County Clerk Newman yesterday to
see if the levy cannot be reduced He re-
ferred them to County Attorney Hungate.
The latter said that he can not give an
opinion on the matter now, but states
that if the meetings were properly called
that the levy would stand.
According to the story told by some or
those who ask for a reconsideration of
the levy, the trouble is about the building
of a school house at Wanamaker. They
say that the school board had a meeting
and agreed that the tax levy for school
purposes should be one mill. A commit
tee was appointed to see if more than
that amount would be needed to build an
addition to the school. After this had
been agreed upon another meeting was
called, which was attended by only those
who favored the building of the school
house. and it was decided that the levy
should be 20 mills This amount was GER
titled to the county clerk
