IS A GIGANTIC TASK
Taking of the Thirteenth Gen.
sus Will Cost Country
Millions.
WORK TO BE COMPLETE.

Washington. D. c., July lit will
require an army of 10000 men and wo-
men to take the thirteenth census of
the United States in 1910. The task
of enumerating the 90,OO0,OO0 persons
under the protection of the United
States flag in Alaska, Porto Rico,
and the United States proper, will be
one of enormous proportions. 1t will
be the most gigantic work of enumer-
alton ever undertaken in this or any
other country. Not merely count and
compilation of the populat. IN is made
by the census, but an accurate ac-
counting of the agricultural, industrial
and social status of the citizens of the
country is included. Director S. n.
d. North of the census bureau is now
preparing for the thirteenth census.
He has been planning it for a year
or more. 1t will cost about $4,000
600. Additional cost can be guessed

Agricultural Conditions Are
Such as to Give Con-
fidence.
THE FRUIT CROP is LIGHT.
AGED BY THE OUTLOOK AC-
coRDINe TO REPORTS OF THE
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Judging from reports made at the
meeting of the Wayne County Horti-
cultural society yesterday the farmers
of this county are faring much better
than the fruit growers. Agricultural
crops this year are the best for some
time, while horticultural crops are the
only fear. The reports referred to
were made by Caleb King, George
Dougan, William Elleman, Nathan
Garwood, Thomas Elleman and others.
The reports made to the society yes
terday are. summarized, as follows:
Corn is most promising, making rap
i'd growth and near tasseling in many
fields. It has excellent color. Most
fields are clear of weeds, and as soon
as the harvests are gathered and
stored the '1ay-by'' blowing will be
given the fields.
Wheat is being rapidly threshed and
the yield Is from IS to 30 bushels OF
fair grain to the acre. Wheat grown
on fallow ground yielded the best.
Straw is excellent this year, as it has
not been soiled by rains which usually
occur this time Of year.
One of the very few agricultural
crops which has not come up to the
usual standard is oats. A rusted con-
dition of the oat straw due to fungoid,
is said to be accoun : for the low
rating of oats. The straw will not
be of much value for feeding purposes
while the yield in grain will not
reach the usual standard.
AS the result Of the excellent wealth
err this summer, both clover and tim
othy hay are in splendid condition.
Barns are being rapidly filled and
many stocks are being left outside.
No scarcity Of hay will be experienced
the ensuing year and the prices will be
low.
The reports made on the condition
of the fruit crops were not so encour-
aging Fruit growers will have but
few apples to place on the market.
The bossoming was complete but the
cold r IS which followed greatly
injured crop. Apples are falling
rapidly -, those which remain on
the trees are knotty and of small
size. AS to peaches. pears and plums
there appears to be a difference in con-
ditions due to locality. However,
there will probably be a fair supply
of this class of fruit marketed at the
proper time. Many pear, plum and
peach trees are we'll laden but curcu-
lilo Is bad among the plums.
The next meeting of the society
will be held at Glen Miller park on
August 8. At this meeting DR.. Lee
Hoover will deliver an address on the
milk situation in this county.

TRAVELLING IN PORTUGAL.

Antonio Scarfoglio, of the Italian
car in the New York-Paris race, said
Of American roads at a reception in
Salt Lake City:
Your American roads, with their
ruts and holes. their mud and quick
sands, are the most dangerous in the
world, can only compare them to the
railways of Portugal.
A friend of mine boarding a train
at Lisbon last month. was astonished
to see the carriages all adorned with
flags and flowers and a band playing
in the rear.
Why is SO much honor being paid
to this train?' my friends asked the
station master.
In the strictest confidence re-
piled the station master, I don't mind
telling you that you are travelling on a
train in which a carriage has been en-
gagged for our young King. But as a
matter of fact, His Majesty will not
take his departure till two hours lat
err. Thus the anarchist plot against
him may not take effect on this train,

Riqht to Left Writing.

Those exceptional modern folk who
write with equal ease in the ordinary
left to right manner and In "Jabber-
wocky" fashion are unconsciously re-
producing the deliberate method OF the
very ancient Greeks. Originally the
Greeks wrote from right to left. &C
cording to the precedent set by the
Phoenicians. but afterward. until about
500 B. c.. when they adopted the mod
ern way. they wrote their lines alter
nately from right TO left and from left
to right. so that the eve did not have to
travel. as ours do. from the end Of one
line to the beginning of the next This
zigzag writing. In which the laws of
Scion were written. was called Bod
strophedon." meaning that II turned
as the OK did at the end of a furrow in
blowing. These early Greeks also often
began at the bottom and wrote each
succeeding line above the last--Lon-
don Chronicle.

problem Of finding name that hadn't

common consent of the villagers. a

him last night, Darling bristled up at

Darling has been twice married. BY
his first wife, Hannah Smith, of
Flushing, who married him in 1864

The moment you take Kodol your
Digestion Starts

Kodol is liquid. like the diges-
tive juices. 1t acts the moment
you take it.
The pain ends, irritation stops,
the food is completely digested.
That is not true of other diges-
tiers, for they rely largely on pep
sin.
Pepsin digests albumen perfect
ly, but that is all it can do.
Starch, fats and phosphates
form most of your food. Pepsin
can't digest those.
And it can't do bowel digestion
Yet half of digestion is done by
the bowel fluids.
It requires many ingredients to
make perfect digester, and Kodol
contains them all
1t digests any food-any mixture
of foods-eompletely.
1t does all that the stomach
does-all that the bowels do.
You can see it do this in a test
tube, under proper conditions. You
can feel what it does in the stom-
ach. There can be no doubt about

such marriages when he saw an Eng

Then he smiled grimly and ended:

The result is complete relief

Medicine can't cure dyspepsia.
A weak stomach is like a lame

But a cure is impossible while
undigested food irritates the stom-

1t is impossible so long as the
stomach is taxed.
