Taking the country as a whole, it il
probable that the population is slightly
lnderstated by the Census Bureau" de-
clares Director of the Census Durand
in his annual report. but whether tho
margin OF error is a fraction Of ! per

Ii should exceed , per cent. is certainly
extremely i~nrprobabln.'
This statement. which indicates that
more than 100000 persons may have
been missed in the count, is made in
the course OF Mr.. Durand's discussions

Under the conditions the cost to
the farmer FOR electric service
and for interest and depreciation
on his pumping plant will amount
to from $1.OO. to $500 per acre
foot when water is being raised
through 25-foot lift, the varia-
ton depending upon the load
factor under which the pumping
is carried on together with local
conditions, such as efficiency of
apparatus used and the type of
equipment installed.
During the past two years it
has been found that one acre foot
of water is an average of the
amount which had to be pumped
in excess of rainfall for the av-
erage crops raised in the terri
tory supplied
AS soon as the farmers installed
the motor driven pumps for irri-
CATION purposes they began to
find all kinds of use for the
electric power upon the farm,
and farmers of northern Colo
rado generally use the electric
current for house and barn light
ing, feed chopping, for stock feed
ing.-which has been increased
tremendously during the past
year-for the operation of milk
separators and for driving the
suction milking machine, for
running the small repair shop
upon the farm, for shcaring shee
and for operating the threshing
machine at harvest time.
Experiments are about to be
made in adopting the German
method of blowing some of the
large farms by means of the
motor driven drums and cables
on gang plows which it is be
lieved can be successfully and &c.
onomically done.
The pronounced success secured
in the furnishing of electric ener
gy for the purposes enumerated
has demonstrated to both the
consumer and the power company
the value of this class of business
and has encouraged the building
of lines to cover the tremendouSl,
increased territory so that tho
territory of northen Coloado viii
be practically cobwebbed witt

work now under way is brought

which were at points formerly operated
by the Straus laboratory.
Mr.. Oyster has carried his work

HOLIDAY PLAN BOON
j. s. Schenker Says Clerks
Are Benefited.
EXPERIMENT IS A SUCCESS
Bluestein Company Head Declares
That Full Holiday mt Weekend
Is Boon to Employees During uot
Months - Urges Adoption of
scheme.

Joseph S. schenker. of Bluestein Com
fled in every particular with the expert
ment of closing his store all day on Sat-
urday during July and August.
In all the efforts to reduce the hours
of labor for working people," said Mr.
Schenker, employees in stores seem to
have been overlooked. We hear a great
deal at Christmas time about shopping
early to make it easier for clerks. If
any one thinks six days a week in hot
weather is any more bearable than the
Christmas rush, just let him try il.
while II is the custom of all the large
stores to close at o'clock in hot wealth.
er. / felt that the practice did not give
those who work in Office until 4:30 o'clock
a chance to do any shopping. So l de-
cided to open at $50 o'clock in the MORN
ing instead of s. and to close at s o'clock
in the evening instead of 5.
Clerks Get Holiday.
This extended the working hours OF
my employees two hours and half a week
beyond those of employees in other stores.
So ! thought 1t would be we'll to try to
close all day on Saturday. My expert
ence has made it very clear to me that
the employees appreciate the change and
the rest from Friday night until Monday
morning on these hot days. They show it
in the better and more willing service
that / get during the week.
There are some who cannot see how
1t can be profitable to pay an employe
for six days work when only five are
given. but / find that it works well, and
am pleased with the returns l am get
ting from my assistants.
Just as soon as customers reflect and
realize that by doing their shopping on
one of the five days in the week they
are giving some tired employe a chance
to have a little rest from hard work in
the hot season they will help to make
the system general. for at bottom we are
not all wholly selfish
