CIVIC RELIGION.

A civic religion, that shall be worth
while, cannot come to pass until men
place the public welfare above every
private interest. The rich and the
well-to-do, who seek privileges and
protection and immunities, are the
malnstay of the political bosses. It
is just as base to be purchased by

est possible grounds.
l. No machinery will do the work of
civic reform or supply the want of
civic religion. Cities can be cleaned

Before and beyond all nomination and
election reforms, important though
these in truth are, is needed the
ceaseless and unwearying consecra

years ago his wife died, and having
no children, he gave up farming and
commenced working at the carpen-

Deceased was relative of the
Westbergs in Vega and was a quiet,
industrious man, and useful citizen.
Many friends regret his sad death.

home of August Westberg at two
o'clock next Sunday afternoon and

ADVANCE FARM SCHEDULE.
Farmers To Be Furnished Copies Be.
fore the Census Begins.
Washington. D. C.


March IA, 1910.
"A great increase in the accuracy of
the census returns from the farmers.
a considerable saving of the working
time OF the farm enumerators, and
the removal Of much of whatever mis-
apprehensions and prejudices may
exist among farmers with regard to
the census are the important results
expected by the United States Census
Bureau to follow the use of the Ad-
vance Farm Schedule, which has been
adopted and will be circulated, thru
the rural postmasters, among the
farmers a short time before the actu-
al census taking.
The employment of this advance
schedule is distinct innovation in
census methods. It is the logical and
practical outcome of the Census
Bureaus persistent effort for some
time past to give the farmers a clear
and comprehensive preliminary know
ledge of the Farm Census questions
and to induce them to keep written
records of their farm operations and
equipment in readiness for the call of
the enumerators, beginning April Is
next.
Four million copies of the schedule
will be printed, and the distribution
of them among farm owners and ten
ants will be intrusted to the farm emu
merators soon after they are commits
stoned, about April 1.
Fostmaster-G General Hitchcock has
promised the assistance of his depart
ment in the effective distribution of
the schedules. and he will issue in
structions relative thereto to the ru-
raj postmasters. They will be re-
quired to address and forward to the
farmers receiving mail at their Offices
the advance farm schedules supplied
them by the enumerators.
In note to farmers on the front
page of the schedule, Census Director
Durand states:
in accordance with the act of Con-
gress, the census of;=the population
and farms Of the United States will
begin on April Is, 1910. On or soon
after that date an enumerator will
call at your house for the purpose OF
obtaining the required information
concerning your farm.
"Many of the questions which will
be asked you concerning the equip
ment and operations of your farm can
not be accurately answered by you
without considerable thought and the
making of careful calculations or esti
mates. Therefore. this form has beer
sent to you in advance, so that yor
may study the questions at your con
yenience and have the answers writ
ten down before the enumeratol
comes.
"You are earnestly requested tf
read this form and instructions care
fully, to write down the answers tt
all questions that apply to your farm
and to keep it until the enumerato
comes. BY doing this you can save
yourself much time and contribute
greatly to the success of the agricu]
tural census.
"Besides the information concern
ing your farm, the enumerator will
also ask you the names, ages, an
other facts concerning the member
