When You Can't Sleep,

There is an cdd theory (that many
people believe and which is certainly
harmless) that sleeplessness may oft
en- be cured in the following odd way:
Move your bsd out into the room SO
that no part of bed or covers will
touch the wall Then place under
each caster of tie bed a piece of rub.
Der or rubber oyershoe, or set the
caster in thick glass dish. Then go
to bed, making sure the covers do not
touch the wall Thus the bed and
yourself will b cut off from all elec.
trio contact with the floor or wall.
Such absence of electric current con
tact, it is claimed, will make you
sleep better 1t is said to have cured
stubborn cases of insomnia

"but know a man who makes money
on his glass eye. He goes to Europe
three times year on business. While
there he does little trading in jew
els as a side line. 1t is on the home
ward trip that he turns his glass eye
to good account. In the cavity back
of it he carries two or three small but
valuable diamonds. Half the duty

Poultry raisers in the United States
are greatly indebted to the thorough
ness of the tests made at our expert
ment stations for a great many inn
portant improvements in every
branch of the poultry industry.
These experimental farms have
proved beyond doubt that by syste-
matte feeding and scientific breeding
of hens the latter can be made to
greatly increase their number of eggs
and also improve the richness and
weight of the same thereby raising
their market value.
The gratifying success thus far at
tanned by experiments in the way of
increasing the reproducing quail
ties of certain breeds of hens has
made breeders hopeful of securing
still greater achievements along the
same line in the near future.

1t was the expected that happenee
when the Maroons beat Northwestern

did not think the score would be sc

good turn for them ana perhaps they
do not realize it at this time.
With the growth of the moderl
school of football there have b2er
many changes as 20 the relative i'm

Under the new system of football the
end rush is the most important mar

The varying wage scales In different
parts OF the country and the differences
In the nature and extent OF the local diff
hculties confronting the enumerators In
the larger geographical divisions OF the
United States have Influenced and guided
United States Census Director Durand in
the adoption Of a classification of emu
merators' rates of compensation. within
the limits prescribed by the United States
census law enacted by congress.
The different classes OF rates will be so
applied that in general the average emu
merator will earn substantially the same
actual amount In one district as in anoth-
er, even though the population may be
much sparser in one than In the other,
with other conditions also different. Re-
gard is paid to the fact that prevailing
wages and salaries are higher In some
parts OF the country than in others, but.
aside from this. the directors aim is TO
adjust the rates so as to make the earn
ings of enumcrators substantially uni

not give sufficient pay, the per diem rates
are prescribed. The rates in general will

The rate Will range from So TO Sc per

Pleasant Diversion.

Harking back to the place where cen.
sus enumerators were under discussion,
it may be said that in many states the
farmers take an unusual interest in the
work. and many of them undertake the
work Of enumerators. They do this be-
cause 1T gives them month g diversion.
They have an opportunity to visit their
nelghbors, and to talk about the crops
and the condition of the stock, and
many swap Of advantage may be
made. a practical farmer makes an
excellent enumerator in the rural dis
tricts, because he knows beforehand
pretty much all about conditions in his
section Of the country, anyway, and
therefore the task is not for him so diff
fcult as it would be for a stranger
Everybody in Utah ought to know
about the coming Of the census men,
for everybody can be great little help
to him. The proprietors and managers
of rooming houses ought to have COM
plete record Of their dodgers and guests
along about the time when the census
man is expected-the two weeks follow
ing April 10. If this record is kept
in the Office it will save the enumerator
many wearisome trip and, besides, it
VIII insure accuracy.
People who live in the rural districts
and who make their living by tllng
the soil, should search their memories
as to how much they produced last
year and, in short, be prepared to tell
the enumerator when he calls all about
their farm and themselves
Don Z let the enumerator have to use
an augur to get the information out of
you. Be ready for him. Answer his
questions with eyes or "no," and
