The story Of England's patron saint

He Is generally believed to have been
born at Lydia, but brought up in Cap
padocla. and suffered martyrdom in
the reign Of Diocletlan. A. ID. 1903. The
legend OF his conflict with the dragon
may have arisen from a symbolical or
allegorlcal representation of his con.
test With the pagan prosecutors. when

adopted him as the patron of soldiers.
Edward Ill. was thus led TO make him
patron OF the Order OF the Garter, and

Farm Records For the Census.

Farm Records For the Census.
The census bureau evidently aims
TO do a little country uplift" work.
although not strictly IL the line laid
down BY the recent administration.
Special effort win Be made to put
the truth about the farms and farm
ers Of the country upon the census
records. The census director proposes
that the bureau workers and the farm
ers get into direct contact and CO.
operation IN this matter Of supplying
data. Guarantees against the wrong
ful use Of the Information yielded up
by landowners are found In the GEN.
sus act, and the director believes
that he can guard this secrecy abso-
Iutely.
The censns bureau appeals not alone
to farmers. but 70 a wide circle OF ag-
ricultural professors and specialists. to
study and criticise the plans now be-
ing made to bring out the best farm
census ever known in this country,
what It calls "a practical, useful and
belIevable census Of Americas farm
population. operations and wealth"
The various agricultural associations
Of the country can do much to inspire
the confidence Of farmers in the good
faith Of the bureau and to stimulate
individual interest In this particular
branch Of census work. In fact. the
cooperation Of the country associa-
lions with the bureau makes the forth
coming farm census pre-eminently
farmers matter.

We do not believe that the question
