THE HOME CIRCLE. FARMERS AND THE CENSUS.
Newtown Farmers Must Get Busy.

The Census Bureau wants the farmers of the country to do some bookkeeping between now and the 18th of next April. The experience in previous censuses has demonstrat- ed that statistical information re- lating to agriculture is not as rella- ble as 1t should be, because farmers as rule do not do any bookkeeping. The enumerators who will start on their rounds the 18th of April will be under instructions to gather from the farmers accurate accounts of their operations during the year end ing December 31. Every farmer also will be required to make an inven- tory of the date of April 15 of all his farm possessions. The new director of the census believes that if he can persuade the farmers of the country to begin at once making note of their business for this year he will be able to get together farm statistics that will be of real value. The schedule which farmers will be asked to study will soon be distributed through farm organizations and other agencies. The country newspapers have been asked to help in apprising the farm CTS as to what will be expected of them. The schedule is divided into five parts:
 1. Personal information regarding the farmer.
 2. General information regarding farm acreage, values and expenses.
 3. A statement of the acreage, yield and value of all farm crops harvested in 1909 and of all animal products that is, dairy products, eggs, live stock sold, etc.
 4. An inventory of all live stock, including poultry and bees, on hand April 15.
 5. Miscellaneous information.

Rear-Admiral Schley, who com manded the Greedy relief expedition and is an authority on Arctic ex- ploration, says that he does not wish to criticise the action of the National geographic society, but he adds that the Danish experts are "by far the most competent of any in the world" Quite as severe as any criticism could have been is his remark that what they do mot know about polar exploration and examination of polar records no one can presume to tell them. This is humiliating, Of course, to that cheap patriotism which holds on general principles that Americans must necessarily have more intelligence than foreign CTS in regard to everything. But it must Dc rsmsmt cred that through their Greenland colonies the Danes have direct interest in the Arctic which we lack, and as Admiral Schley said in his interview, Friday, members of the Royal geographical society spend practically their lives at this sort of work. So far as he is concerned, he says, the verdict of the Danes on Dr Cooks records will be final, and he adds emphatically: '1 would rather have their indorse- ment than the indorsement of any other geographical society. In fact, l would rather have their indorse- ment than the indorsement of all the other geographical societies put to- gether."

THE BENEFITS or TIT GRAIGE.
Essay Written by In D. ?. Dardvell
 and Read Before Pootatuck Grange. last Tuesday light by Hrs
 ', H. Mitchell.

The question is 50 often asked, "How would 1t bsnsnt me if I joined the Granger" And 50 many criticisms are made by those outside the Order, that I will make the attempt in a small way to give a few benefits de- rived and make some suggestions relative to Grange work.
 In the first place the Grange is in- tended to bs "a farmers school, where the mind and heart can be cultured, the vision broadsned and life made worth the living"
 One of our state ofAcsrs has said, When we sssths psanutAunt, whist or euchrs and the midnight dance prominent in Grange work ws con clude that the purpose of the Order is poorly understood. A social enter tainment is all right in its place, con sisting of whatever good committee may deem wise to have, but an not here to discuss social evil, advocate what is right and what is wrong along that line, but I do wish ts say that a peanut hunt, or game of whist, at a social entertainment of the Grange, is no more a part of Grange work than the same thiug at church social is part of the church work, and if any Grange has made the dance or games of amusement the principal or prominent part oi their regular meetings it is only a question of time, and quick time, too when that Grange will cease te be Because our school days are oyer it is no reason why we should cease to grow in knowledge. We must first have a desire for improvement before we seek for it, but if we have that uesire the Grange is an oppor. tunity we should embrace to hell Us to progress and not fall backward in the education we have already obtained. If we are members of tht Grange and are not doing this I cal assure you the trouble is with our. selves. If we would continue oul subordinate and Pomona Oranges and stand for what the Grange repre- sents when we become a member oI

the Order, we cannot idly fold our hands and rest while we see others working hard to accomplish the end which we profess ourselves to be desirous of obtaining, but we p:ust ourselves work. If we want to get the best out of life we must put our best into 1t,
 For life is the mirror of king snd
 slave,
 'Tis just what YOU are and do. Then give to the world the best you
 have,
 And the best will come back to
 you"
 And such members can reitelate the words of minister in the cast ern part of the state, who was in- stalled as chaplain of a Grange. He was a friend of the nti'e master and once his pastor, but not a member of the Grange at that Llms. Referring to that he said, .l l had been l should have been a better man, bet ter pastor, and done more for the town" and he added, "l have never found better helpers in church work than in the Grange. d. M. F. Gaunt says: "fhe subordinate Grange IS the basis stone of our order and without which we conld not succeed. 1t is ths strong link in the chain that binds this great far iers organiGa- tion together iron orean to ocean. , would suggest that in our Oranges if we were elected to an office and ac- cept that office we should plan to be present at all meetings as far as pos sible.

Whatever you do, strive to do we'll. and to each officer I would say, dignify you po- sition, yet be humble, be courteous, and not presume too much on your position. But not on the officers alone rests the responsibility of nak- ing a good Grange. Each member should contribute his or her share He should be present at the meetings and take the part assigned to him. If you once join this glorious organi- zation and would be benefited there by strive to be a good worker, which means one willing to do their part, ever ready to put their shoulder to the wheel, one not easily discour- aged but always looking on the bright side, though seemingly every thing goes wrong. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says:

 Is the man with smile
 Whom everything goes dead wrong. 1 When serving his last year IS mas tor of the State Grange G. l.. Ladd said: "The past year has been the most successful in the history of oul state organization, and there has been splendid spirit of cooperation and unity in the work, and credit is due ali down tho line, even to the least in the ranks" As the years gC on may there be reiteration of the report by each successive master Lot us continue to labor together fol the good of the Grange, the town ant the church, and heartily endorse tht motto, "In essential unity, in non essential liberty, in all things chari' ty."

Buffalo is apparently to bs the next large city to follow Boston in adopting a commission form of government. The people there voted by an overwhelming majority, last week, in support of petition to the Legislature for the grant of com- mission charter. The spread of this plan of local government among the cities of the country is the great municipal feature of the time. It is becoming no longer possible to keep count of the places taking up the plan, so rapid and widespread is the movement.
