Pittsburg Steel Man Tires of Turning Crank to Get "CentraI," Secures
 Latest Model.

Pride's Crossing, Mass.-That mon- ey talks is an old adage that may well be aplied to the efforts of MT. Henry Clay Prick of Pittsburg to get better telephone facilities. MT. Prick has the most beautiful summer palace on the whole north shore. For many weeks of the summer season he contents himself with spending only the week ends with his family at Eagle Rock, as his place is called, and he comes on from New York usually on Friday nights in his private car, returning to business Monday During the hottest part of the season, when he lives here all the time, he is in daily communica- tion with his New York office by tele- phone.
 MT. Prick, like all other subscribers along the north shore, when he wants to use his telephone must ring "cen- tral' by turning little crank, as the more up-to-date method of signaling central by simply lifting the telephone receiver from it's hook has not yet been installed in the small towns along the shore. This ringing the bell proved too arduous a task for MT Prick, it appears, and he made an ap- plication to the telephone company for the more up-to-date device. He was told that the only way he could get the service he wanted was to have

Inmate of English lnfirmary En-
 ters Her Hundredth Year.
Happy, Active Old Lady Says Secret Is to Just Keep on Living Hugely Enjoys Sunshine
 and Fresh Air.

London.-There have been scenes of subdued revelry at Crowdon infirm- ary recently, for Mrs Harriet Belton, one of the inmates, entered on her hundredth year and the nurse gave a party in her ward in honor of the event.
 All the staff seem to feel that she has conferred fame and honor on the union by spending the long. evening of her days there, and a reporter who called to see her was told by the smil- ing matron: Certainly you can see Granny She's in No. 6 ward, up stairs"
 But when the fine days come no ward can hold this active, happy old woman, and she was found hasking in the sun on the bridge corridor that joins two blocks of the infirmary.
 Tell you how to live to be a hun dred?" she replied to the first ques- tion. Why, the chief thing is just to go on living. That's how I've done it. l never had to work too hard, and always liked sunshine, fresh air. and plenty of company. -.z-.-
 q was girl of five when Waterloo was fought. I can remember my mothers two brothers going off to the wars, and I remember how I wanted to go with them"
 The old woman's pride seems to be her son. She would talk of little but her ''.boy"-a boy of about 73-of how well hn dninO nd nf hou ch 10 would like him to come and see her "As for grandchildren and great-grand- children, I don't know how many I've got" she said. q only know that when we all gathered together at my son s last Christmas twelvemonth the room was crowded with them-more than I could count"
 Deafness is almost the old woman's only defect. She still reads without glasses, being constant student of her Bible and taking an interest iu newspapers. AS the uncrowned queen of the infirmary she is granted some little indulgences by the devoted staff It fs, perhaps, the best testi mony to her well being that she Is still able to have strong opinions on the subject of food. And if you ask her what most impressed her at the birthday party she will talk in glow ing terms of the rum punch the nurses brewed in her honor.
 She was born in Brockham, neal Dorking, in 1910, but has lived in Croydon for the last 20 years.

FARMERS ON CENSUS
Queries and All Kinds of Advice
 Sent to National Bureau.
Officials Invite Cooperation and Make Arrangements to Consult Many Experts of Country as to
 Methods.

Washington-The farmers of the United States are naturally very much interested in the census of agricul- ture and farms that will be taken April IS, 1910, as one of the subjects to be covered by the thirteenth de- cennial census. Many are showing their interest by writing to the census bureau for the purpose Of making comments on census information re- garding agriculture as presented in the past.
 The director of the census wei comes all such suggestions, and gives them careful consideration, as he is anxious to have the results of the coming census correspond as nearly as may be to the desires of the people most interested.
 In addition to studying carefully these suggestions, the director has on his own initiative requested certain professors of economics and agricul- ture of the more important univers1- ties of the country, and other persons who have specialized in agricultural matters, to come to Washington for short time for the purpose of studying carefully and criticising plans now un- der way.
 Especially is it desired to obtain their opinion relative to the questions to be asked, and their form, as the re- suits to be obtained will so largely depend on the character of the sched- ule and the manner in which the ques- lions are propounded.
 These suggestions, coming from out side experts, are proving to be Of great value, and 1t is believed that in consequence of this preliminary study more valuable and accurate data will be obtained than could otherwise be secured
 After these special students and ex- perts have made their preliminary studies, formal conferences are held in the office in which the whole matter of the character of the schedules and the best methods of securing the in formation are thoroughly gone over.
 The department is also seeking to secure the advice and cooperation, as far as possible, of the officers and ex- perts of the department of agriculture, of the state agricultural colleges, farm CTS societies and like organizations.

Farmers Get More Money for All Lead Ing Products This Year Except
 That of Corn.

Washlngton-Corn Is the only crop that is not bringing the American farmer more money to the bushel in 1909 than 1t did in 1908. The price of corn is sky-high at that, for it's farm value was 75.2 cents bushol August 1 of this year, as against 78.1 cents a bushel August 1. 1908. the latter being at least 15 cents above normal value.
 The farm value of wheat is 16.7 cents higher for 1909 than it was for 1908. Oats are 0.8 cent bushel this year over last Barley is 3.1 cents dearer this year than in 1908. Rye has advanced Al cents over last year. Buckwheat is 28 cents and aaxseed 296 cents over year ago.
 Potatoes participate in the rise in value occasioned by the 1908 season of shortage in the crops generally. Hay is worth 46 cents more per ton than it was year ago. Cotton to-
