WOMEN MAY DO CENSUS WORK

Census Director Durand's general in:
structions to the supervisors Of the GEN.
sus in the thirteenth decennial general
enumeration, April next, have been. for.
warded to them.
The instructions point out that there
is nothing in the census act making
women or persons under 81 years of age
ineligible for appointment as enumerators.
It is stated that considerable number Of
women were employed in both the
eleventh and twelfth censuses. 1t is sug.
gested that it is undesirable to employ
enumerators who are too immature, either
in experience or appearance. The super
visors are cautioned to exercise their
Judgment in each individual case.
It is suggested, as they are particularly
likely to be good snumerRtors, that the
supervisors employ crop reporters of the
United States Department of Agriculture,
officers aud leading workers in farmers
organizations, live stock associations, CO.
operative creameries, ETC., progressive
farmers and their sons and daughters, and
especially young men and women who
have attended agricultural colleges or
agricultural experiment stations, physi-
Giant, school teachers,and substitute teach
ers, college and high school students,
persons who have passed Federal, State
or municipal civil service examinations
for clerical positions or mail carriers. sub
stitute letter carriers, local, State and
municipal officers and particularly town
and village clerks and recorders.
Applications should be addressed to the
individual supervisors and not to the
Census Bureau. It is understood that the
filing of applications will be permitted
to continue until about January 10Th.
The population and agricultural schedules
will not be forwarded the supervisors
until few weeks before the enumerstors
begin. Il is estimated that more than
IS, 600 enumerators will be employed.

a GREAT POTATO REGION

Past National Lecturer Whitehead, one
OF the early organizers of che grange
movement, made addresses in Maine as
we'll as in other states the past summer,
and here 10 what he found up in the great
potato region Of Aroostook county. ''The
CROP" he says, lis estimated this year at
Is, 900, 900 bushels on 100000 acres. 1
saw rows of potatoes there mile long.
One Patron had little patch Of 206 acres
in potatoes. The grange kas taught the
farmers how to sell their crops, and last
spring over 100 cars of seed potatoes were
shipped direct to their brother Patrons in
New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland" "
He also found that Aroostook county Pa
irons have been very successful in their
other cooperative business enterprises.
-Four Of their stores this year will do
business Of about 100000. Al Houlton
they have grange gristmill. II is esti.
mated that the cooperative business of
the Patrons of Maine this year, through
their stores and in handling western grain
aud feed, also fertilizer, ETC., will amount
to at least 81, 900, 600. Their three grange
fire insurance companies are now insuring
$2S.0O0, 600 worth of grange property.
The grange halls of the state have cost
over Sl,OOO,O00. Mr.. Whitehead also
found autos owned by Patrons no IN.
common sight in Maine. Why not? They
evidently can afford autos better than
many who are not farmers and drive
machines covered by mortgages.
We are asked when a member should
begin paying dues-at time of initiation
or later. In New York he begins with
the month succeeding the one in which
be takes his first degree. The dues OF
charter members likewise begin the month
following that in which the grange was
organized. The subordinate grange does
not pay dues to the state grange on a
member until the quarter following that
in which he was received into the grange,
but does pay dues to the state grange on
any names dropped during the quarter by
demit or expulsion.

THANKSGIVING DAY
BY JOHN KENDRIcR BANGS


Now the turkey roosting low
Finds his spirit full of woe;
Notes that popularity
Is not all tits said to be;
Wishes that he had been wise
In his corn fed paradise.
He'd by far the wiser been
Had he rested 'mongst the lean;
Had he dieted bit,
Keeping all his muscles fit,
STEAD of, like prideful fiat,
Gorging until plump and fat.
See! In state at last he lies,
Flanked about by pumpkin pies,
Flanked with fresh cut celery,
Giblet sauce and cranberry;
Covered with pail of crisp,
Here and there parsley wisp
Lying softly on his breast;
Stuffed with spice and nuts OF chest
Poor old turkeyl Victim he
Of his gobbling vanity.
Gladstone day for young and old,
Whether winds be soft or cold;
Day that gives aInation pause
For it's grateful "Deo Laus;"
Day that bring us face to face
With the fount of love and grace
1t were blessing past compare
That we have a day so rare;
Day from others all apart
Given over to the heart,
To realizing sense
OF the great bsnefcence
OF the hand divine above
That hath ruled us but through love

cess. who was Countess Sophie Cho-
TEX, was born forty years ago ana
remarked Archduke Francis Ferdinand
son of Archduke Charles Louis. IN
one ard the archduke was forced to
renounce the claim of his issue by
her to the throne. That he may not
do so, when the aged emperor dies and
he ascends to the throne, is common
rumor in Europe.
The Emperor Francis Joseph is old,
and there are those in Vienna and
elsewhere in his kingdom, who assert
that when his nephew succeeds him,
he will not consider himself bound
by the oath taken at marriage that
barred his wife from sharing the
throne with him, and his children
from coming after him. At all events
the princess who was once the least
considered of ladies-in- waiting, will
be Queen of Hungary whether or not
she be empress of Austria. Hungary
hates Austria too well not to seize any
opportunity to flout her laws. and
the Hurgarians do not regard any
marriage as morganatic.
Meantime, the wife of the Archduke
Francis Ferdinand is yearly improv-
ing her position in Austria. She
works quietly, never putting herself
forward among the archduchesses, and
these naughty ladies tolerate her with
excellent grace in consequence. The
aged emperor likes her better than he
likes his heir her husband, and her
pretty and engaging children are be-
ing treated precisely as are the other
children of the imperial house. They
receive equal presents each Christ
mas. for example. and are favorites
with the emperor rather than other
wise. When Princess Hohenberg Wis
tied the Roumanian court last sum-
mer, people in Austria were not SLOW
to notice that she received all honors
as a future empress, and they resent
ed the fact less than would formerly
have been the case The lady has a
staunch ally in the German emperor.
