the old style counting devices in use when the
Job was started nine years ago.
There two styles of machines-one is the
card punching device and the other the tabulator
me nrst punches the holes in the census cards.
Which are arranged much as in the conventional
card index. The wonderful tabulating machine
then takes the pasteboards and solely by mechan-
1ca means adds, classifies and makes up totals
from the cards, which pass through the device
faster than the eye follow them. Both ma
chimes are essential and each is dependent upon
the other for success.
The new card punching machine, which is
great improvement upon the old system. is an
electrical continuance. Hitherto the operator was
compelled to play upon it like typist, but to-day
all that is necessary is to touch the key desired,
press lever and the machine keeps on punching
cards as long as the power is kept on. The old
hand puncher was capable of sending out 800
cards each day while the new automaton attans
a speed of $500 and saves the operators nerves.
Another feature of these new machines 10 that

spection Saturday Evening of
Present Week.

The cafe of the New Harper house is
nearing completion, and those who
have had the privilege Of seeing 1t

it is without a doubt the prettiest in
this part of the country. The cafe
consists of three dining rooms, the
main cafe, the family dining room, and
a private dining room.
The main cafe is finished with black
oak. early English style. The win
dows are also early English style.
Around the upper border of the room,
a scenic artist. Emil Kirchner of Dav-
export, is painting an exquisite coun-
try scene. This, with it's even road,
banked on either side by green fields,
with country houses scattered here
and there, and a German tavern with
it's old German proprietor and family
in the background. is very effective.
The road is traversed by tourists in
large automobiles, men and women on
horseback and in carriages. A party
of tourists is stopping at the tavern
for refreshment and is being served by
the tavern keeper.
Family Room Ia DreamIand.
Beautiful as the main cafe is, the
family dining room is even more so,
finished as it is with exquisite blue and.
white canal and sky scenes of Hor-
land. It is impossible to convey the
beauty of the decorations Of the upper
border on this wall and ceiling by
mere words. A pergola has been con-
structed along the east side of this
room and grapevfnes have been en-
twined about it, adding greatly to the
effect of the room. This pergola is
made of white enameled ivory. A blue
and white sky scene has been painted
upon the ceiling. The private dining
room is being decorated with cross
country scenes. The furniture consists
of green fiber rush chairs
The fixtures in the cafe are of ham
