for the patient NOT to be removed to-
the hospital here as he had several
ribs broken and was injured i,-
tern"lly. They were in almost cor

death which came Friday afternoon.
The deceased was the son of Mr..

IN WARFARE OF FACTIONS
Snapshot Of Quiet Domestic Scene
When Rivals Fought for the
Control Of Mexico.
There was a dramatic silence.

There was a dramatic silence.
1--WE need butter for supper" said
the wife and mother firmly. Il don't
see how we can get along without it.
III send Johnnie to the groCer's. It's
just across the street, you know. He's
little and can run fast"

firmly, q will GO
But the wife flung herself on his

He caught her by the arms.
No he quickly said. What would

They all listened.
Il can open a tumbler of jelly" said
the wife and mother.
Gimme jelly" cried the child.
So they sat down and ate their but
terless supper.

got nearly all over his body. 1t form
ed a crust on his head, hair fell out
and the itch was terrible. When he
would scratch the crust, the water
would ooze out in big drops. On face
and body 1t was in a dry form and
would scale off. He was in great mis-
cry and at nights | would lie awake
scratch and disfgure himself. / tried
simple remedies at first. then got
medicine, but it did no good.
Finally a friend suggested Cuticura
Remedies, SO I sent for a sample to
see what they would do, when to my
surprise after q few applications
could see an improvement, and he
would rest better. / bought a box of
C~uticura Ointment and a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and before / had them half

School Attendance.

The Ems inquiry as to school at
tendance was merely as to Wother the
persons enumerated had attended any
kind of school at any time between
September l, 1909, ahc the date Of
enumeration, April Is, 1910.
The total number ii persons of
school age-that is, from 6 to 20 years,
inclusive-is 1899, of whom 122,642
or CO.. per cent. attended school. In
addition to these, 1870 children under
6, and 2,471 persons y and over at
tended school. For boys from 6 to 20
years, inclusive, the percentage at
tending school was 66.1; for girls, 67.2.
For children from 6 to IA years, inclu-
sive. the percentage attending school
was S3.3. The percentage for children
Of this age among native whites OF for
eign OF mixed parentage was $84.6;
among native whites of native pa
rentage. S41; among foreign born
whites. 1913; among negroes, S6.4 and
among Indians, 61.2. The percentage
of school attendance for children from
6 to il is SD in the urban population
and SIS in the rural for persons from
Is to 20, the percentages are A and
1913, respectively.

illiteracy.

iIliteracy.
The census bureau Classics as illit-
crate any persons 10 years of age or
over who is unable TO write, regard
less of ability to read. There are H.
$50 il~literates in the state, represent
ing % per CEN of the total popula-
ton 10 years of age and over. as ON
pared with 5 per cent in 1900. The
per centage Of ~illiteracy is 41 = among
Indians, SIS among negroes, 5 among
foreign born whites, and GA among
native whites.
For all classes combined, the per
ceutage Of ill~iterates is 16 in urban
communities aud 81 in the rural.
More than one-half of the rural Hitter
ates. however. are Indians. For each
of the native white classes the per
centage Of illiterates is the same in
the rural as in the urban population,
and for the foreign born whites it is
lower i'll the rural.
For persons rom 10 to 90 years In
elusive, whose l~iteracy depends large
ly upon present school facilities and
school attendance. the percentage Of
illiteracy is very low, being only 08.
Marital Condition.
In the population Is years Of age
and over, 44.6 per cont of the males
are single and 1913 per cent of the
females. The percentage married is
50.4 for males and &c for females, and
the percentage widowed 2.6 and Sc,
respectively. The percentage Of those
reported as divorced, 06 both for
malee ard fonales. are believed TO be
too small, because Of the probability
hat many divorced persons class
themselves as single or widowed.
That the percentage single is so
much smaller for women than for
men is due partly to the excess of
males in the total population. and to
the fact that women marry younger.
Thus 8 per cent of the females from
Is to 10 years Of age are married, as
compared with 0.4 per cent of the
males. and 49.3 per cent of the fe-
males from 20 to "a years are mar.
ried, as compared with 1916 per cent
of the males; in the age group, % to
"a years, the percentages are SIS and
55.5, respectively: in the ext age
group. So to Al. the difference is less
marked. while in the age group As and
over the percentage married is higher
among the males. That there is a
larger proportion of widows than OF
widovers may indicate that men more
often emarry than women, but. since
husbands generally are older than
their wives, the marriage relationship
is. broken more often by death of the
husband than by death of the wife.
For the main elements of the popu
lation the percentages Of married per
sons among those Is years of age and
over are as follows: Foreign bcrr
whites, G2.3 for males and 75.4 for fe
males: native whites of native parent
age 487 and 61.9. respectively; ma
tive whites of foreign or mixed pa
.rentage. 41.3 and SIS, negroes, At.
and So, Indians. 63.3 and $50.

payers will have to pay larger as
sessment this year than last, When
the legislature abolished offsets for debts
owing it was seen that the grand list
would be increased materially, and the
work of the listers showed an increase
of over 81 ,0Os,000,
With the prospects of a large increase
in the list it was believed that there
would be substantial reduction in the
tax rate, and for that reason in one or
two instances the rate was not fixed at
the usual time, the voters preferring TO
wait until the amount of the grand list
was determined.
Expectations have not been realized
however, and the village tax bills are
larger this year than they were last.
This leads to the question; What would
have been the rate if there had been no
increase in the taxable listl
Last year thu total rate in the viii
lage was $l940 on $1,000. This year,
in spite of the large addition TO the
taxable list, the rate in the village is
$3.50 on 81 GOO. Before the total prob
able expenses had been figured out il
was believed that rate of $3.50 would
suffice for this year.
