presented to the city commission last
night had not owners of property
still north of the Normal requested
that the petitions be held up in order
that the question of extending the
work to the city limits could be con-
sidered. The request was complied
with, but Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Smith
told that they are not in a position
TO make a personal canvass for the
latest proposed extension. Both gem
tlemen said there is no longer doubt
that paving will be laid, but that
they will continue their efforts with
the petitions a day or two longer in
order that the consent will be as
unanimous as possible.
In reply to inquiries as to the cost
of the paving. the Merchants com
mitee has replied that ii should not
exceed 5000 for a lot of 25 feet
frontage. They express the opinion
that that amount would be the maxi
mum cost on a basis of 50 a square
yard. Word has been received here
that at several places in Iowa paving
is being laid for s125 square yard.
While the freight on cement, one in
gredient, would be less to central
Iowa points than to Madison, sand,
another essential, would probably be
cheaper delivered on this city's
streets.

MADISON TO Celebrate
DECEMBER y NAMED As THE
DATE FOR OPENING MADI-
SONS NEW WHITE WAY.

Wednesday, December s, has been
chosen as the date on which to usher
/ in the formal opening of Madison's
new white way, and TO put on display
I In local theaters the first motion pic
lures ever taken of the city. The day
and evening will be made the occa-
/ sion of general celebration of prog
ress, in which the whole of Lake
county, and more beside, will be ask
ed to take an active part
The date was decided upon and de-
/ tails for the fete were gone into 1t at
a general meeting last night of the
Merchants association.
Good Time Assured.
During discussion which led up
4 to the associations decision, it was
suggested that there should, perhaps.
be an additional inducement or two
extended to those who will come to
participate in the jollification. To a
proposal that free oyster supper be
provided the city's guests or that a
public speaker be engaged to address
them, reply was made that neither
proposition probably would prove an
incentive to a well fed gathering of
visitors, who had, more than likely
during the year, have listened TO
their full share of technical discus
sions.
Acting on the theory that most of
those who come will probably make
the most of their trip to the city by
: combining business with pleasure. il
4, was decided TO inaugurate a dollar
day" 1t was pointed out that re
gardless of any free inducement thai

Farming today is highly technical business.
A farm paper, to serve its readers fully, must
qualify as technical authority 1t must be able to
give advice on a range of subjects wide as all
agriculture and as deep as all science. This advice
too, must be plane equal to that of government
bulletins. and of the best experts.
Such service must be prompt, for growing
crops and destructive pests do not wait 1t must
be personal for the inquirer asks only the difficult
unusual questions to which he cannot find an answer
in the experience of his own neghbors. 1t must be
thorough for thousands of dollars investment may
hang upon one decision.
1t is this authoritative, prompt personal and
thorough service which The Country Gentleman
gives it's readers, and which has won their conf
denCe and support.

Only skilled specialists in branch

regularly depend on The Country Gentleman and

A significant feature of the correspondence is

as the r. F. D. Letter Box.
The farmer writes a
letter to the r. F. D. Letter

question that's troubling him.
In two or three days, or a

l. 1t develops among the

the fact that one article

man recently sent 10000 letters to the
Department of Agriculture from our
readers. This responsiveness adds much
to the value of the advertising columns.
This correspondence also means that the
readers advise the publication. They do
this unknowingly, through these same in
quiring letters. The questions tabulated
and classified, show the trend of thought
among farmers-what they are thinking
and doing what they want to know about
where they need help. To the editors
therefore, these letters are, every month

PASS 1O0,0OO,OOO MARK.
Census Bureau Figures Population of
L. : Down to the Minute

The census bureau has announced tina,
according to its official estimates the
population of the United States passed the
one hundred million mark at four O'Clock
on April 3. The estimate was compute ed
under the direction Of G. c. Sloane geo
grapher of the census bureau. The process
was TO take the population of the United
states on April Is, 1910, which was o..
1895, and subtract from that the popu-
lation of the United States on June !, 1900
which was 1J,a94,5,5, the days named being
the official dates for the actual census
OF the years named. The difference,
which Is l5,97769l, when divided by lls5,
which is the number of months interven-
Ing between the two census dates, gives
AS the actual increase in our populat ton
for one month l34.s2s4
This being accepted it Is not diff
cult task TO find out that the increase
for one day is ii9i.2l and for one hour
49, Necessarily the increase for one
minute appears to be 3.1l. And with this
result coming hot from the actuarys pen
ell II follows that three native born Amer
leans, to say nothing Of the fraction OF
leven-hundredths. must dispute for the
honor of being the one hundred millonth.
