THE PROPER WAY TO SWEEP
Principal Work, 1t Must Be Remem. hered, Consists in Getting tho
 Room Ready.

To sweep a room Is little-but to get it ready for sweeping takes some time.
 Each upholstered piece of furniture should be carefully brushed and plain polished surfaces wiped with slight ly damp cloth, then rubbed with dry one and moved out of the room.
 A paint brush Is excellent to remove the dust that will lodge in carved parts, or if in crevices a very tiny brush or a wooden skewer can be used. If there are holdings at the top of the wall. use long handled brush If 1t Is perfectly clean. If 1t isn't. tie a duster over it. Brush the ceilings and walls in the same way.
 Do not open the windows till the actual sweeping Is finished, or the cur rent of air will scatter the dirt over the room again.
 Sprinkle salt or tea leaves on the floor and work from the corners to the center of the room. The stroke should be long. the broom always on the floor pushing the dirt before 1t, not setting 1t in motion by swinging 1t around.

Pictures of Ex-Speakers Like Chromos

That is. they are called pictures
 Many of them are fiamboyant things in colored crayons, that would make a kindergarten kid weep to gaze upon them. lot more of them are done in black crayon. and they are certainly the limit. A few of the latter ones are done in oils, and the poor speakers whom they represent look as though they had been boiled in oil while sit ting for those same portraits. so pained and injured is the expression on the faces of most of them.
 In the latter class are Speaker Reed and Speaker Crisp. Speaker Reed. when gazing upon the canvas that represents him one day. turned to a friend and said: "Sa-ay. l don't wonder the Democrats hate me if 1 look like that to them The picture of Charles s. Crisp is a snug. fat looking customer as little like the genial-faced. clear-eyed Speaker Crisp as anything could well be imagined.

W WAS1INGTON.-"P me, mad. w am. the government of the United States would like to know your age"
 With that remark the census enum- orator will politely display his badge and prepare to make an entry in the official census papers. The question is, will every woman in the United States when they start taking the census April 15 disclose her real num- Der of years. or will she reply that it is none of the governments business? The sporting editors says the betting Is about even.

course, is the ostensible head of every household, but when it comes to mak- ing an official report to the govern ment there may be a difference of opinion.
 Supervisor Hotchkiss said another of the most important question dis cussed was that of fully acquainting foreigners of the real purpose of the census.
 "A display of official papers and badges tends to frighten the foreign CTS, said MT. Hotchkiss. They fear it has something to do with deporting them or forcing them to give up money, and their instant refuge is to give untruthful replies to the ques- tions put by the enumerators.
 ITO guard against this we decided to try to educate the foreigners be- forehand so that when the enumeratOr calls they will know just what to ex- pect We are educating them through their children in the schools. through the churches. the foreign newspapers and settlements and societies in va rious parts of the country.

ONE MAY BE ADDED.
1t is Thought as Result of New
Census Indiana Will Have IA
Instead of Is Congressman.

1t is believed that as result
of the census to be taken this
year Indiana's population will be
of such increased proportion that
Congress will give the Hoosier
state fourteen instead OF thirteen
congressional districts. The re-
presentation of the state in the
lower house has been thirteen for
many years, not because the pop
ulation has been stationary, but
because the national lawmakers
at Washington, after the taking
OF each census, have found it nee
esSary to raise the number OF
population emitting a state to a
representative. This has been nee
esSary to keep the lower branch
of congress from becoming too
many in number and consequent
ly too unwieldy for the expedi-
tious transaction of the nation S
business. When the present NUM-
Der of representatives was given
Indiana, based on the population
of the state, 127 900 was the basis
for a representative. Maybe the
state will be able to shake off un-
lucky "13" after the noses are
counted this census.

MAY ADOPT TELEPHONE.

General Superintendent II. a
Boomer OF the Lake Erie, has
given out the information that
the local division of the Lake
Erie may install complete tel
ephone system 10 supplant the
present telegraph system. There
are several systems OF tele-
phones for dispatching pur-
poses and the officials have not
definitely decided which will be
used.
On account OF the almost uni
versal use OF the telephone and
the simple manner in which il
can be operated without years OF
training, the phone is expected to
add greatly to- the facilities for
dispatching trains. etc. 1t is not
the expectation OF the company
to reduce the operating expenses
or the required efficiency OF dis
patchrs in adopting the telephone
however.
The use OF the telephone Is
gradually coming into practice in
all railroads in the county AM
by and by the art of dispatchins
trains by telegraph will be a
thing of the past. unless ii will
be required temporarily at times
on account OF telephones being

Easter Comes Early-March q.

\ rather interesting train OF
thought is suggested by the fact
that Easter will come. unusually
early this year March %, which
to the minds OF some people. pre-
diets an early spring.
The earliest date upon which
Easter may fall is March %, but
in period OF over 200 years the
conditions brought it upon that
day but once in 1918. The dates
have been calculated from 1856
to 1913 both inclusive. being -
cycles OF the moon. Only four
times in that extended period has
Easter come as early as March
%. 1t may come as late as April
%, as it did in 1866, but it will
not again strike that late date
until 1913. In 1871 it occurred
upon April q, but it will be the
year OF grace Poll before it is
again as late. The next early
Easter will be 1913. when it will
fall upon March %.
