leased to any person of Chinese, Jap
anese, Moorish, Turkish, Negro,
Monaghan, Semetic or African
blood or descent"
If the firm were asked who was
meant by Semetic, their answer
perhaps would be: the ancient Ba-
bylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians,
Carthagenians, Canaanites, etc.
And yet we suspect that Semetic is
really Jew in disguise. There is no
likelihood that Chinese, Japanese, or
Negroes will ever try to squeeze
themselves into Walton's exclusive
neighborhood. So that the affront
to them, too, is quite gratuitous.
It is worth noting in passing that
the Journal and the News carried
the Walton advertisement, but with
the offensive part omitted. Evil
IDENTIFY the Tribune could have done
the same, if it had cared to follow
the simple rule of decency. Aside
from other considerations, the Trib-
une carries considerable Jewish adj
vertising, which means that it makes
a part of it's money from the Jews.
AS a matter of decency, therefore,
it should not allow any copy to get
into it's columns which is meant as
an offense to it's patrons.
But to return to the Walton
crew. Jews have known all along
that that outfit has no particular
liking for them The Semetics will
therefore, take note of this ad which
is a strong confirmation of that
fact.

You remember that some time ago the Governor, in
trying to explain the failure of bills to pass the
Legislature or to be enacted into laws charged le

angry about it and succeeded in proving that technically

Washington, D. c., March II,
1919.-The Act providing for
the Fourteenth and subsequent
decennial censuses was signed
by the President on March 3.
The enumeration, which will be
made in January, 1920, is now
less than ten months distant !;
and the Census Bureau alEeady
has under consideration the Sc
lection and appointment of not
to exceed 400 supervisors who
will have charge of the 10000
enumerators. The supervisors
districts will, in most cases. ex-
cept in the large cities, have
the same boundaries as the Con-
gressional districts. The super
visors, under the law, are to be
appointed by the Secretary of
Commerce upon the recommen-
dation of the Director of the
Census.
The following instructions
have been given by the Secreta-
ry of Commerce to the Director
of the Census in regard to the
procedure to be followed III
making selections and appoint
ments of census supervisors:
Conforming to the assuran-
ces given the President in my
letter to him Of March 3rd, you
will please be guided by the foil
owing instructions respecting
appointments to the post of SUI
pervisor in connection with the
taking of the Fourteenth Census

census shall he an example in it's
quality as well as in it's prompt
ness. | need hardly say that
neither result can be had unless
the supervisors are selected with

| fitness for their task. l am de
pending on you as the respdnsi.
BILE officer in immediate charge
of the work to see that every
precaution is taken to achieve
this result. In particular, the
appearance as we'll as the fact
of political patronage are to be
avoided and fitness for the work
to be done will be the controlling
factor in the appointments"
The Director of the Census
has already taken steps to carry
out the instructions of the Sc
cretary.
The supervisors duties will
occupy their time for the grea-
ter part of a year, beginning
about July 1, 1919. Their COM
pensation will be $1,000, plus
81 for each thousand or major
fraction of a thousand of popu-
lation enumerated. The total
compensation in an average-si-
zed districts, outside large city,
will therefore be between $1.700
and $1,000. Clerk hire and other
necessary expenses will be paid
by the Government.
All candidates for supervi-
sorships should address their

the Census, Washington, D. c.

required for appoint ment to the
post of supervisor. In addition
to this, a careful personal in
quiry is to be separately made
respecting the qualifications of
each candidate. Of this inquiry,
also, a record will be kept. :
.In making appointments
from those whS shall have pass
ed the test examination and the
separate inquiry as to qualifica-
tions, preference is to be given
to those candidates who have
had executive, administrative,
statistical, or accounting expe-
rience and to those who have
had charge of bodies of men as
administrators, provided in all
cases that men with the eXpe-
rience stated possess the other
qualifications necessary.
"You will arrange to give no.
tice to the above effect to every
candidate applying for appoint
ment and to his sponsors, and
no candidates are to be selected
for appointment who do not
pass both the test examination
and the personal inquiry.
"You are requested to ask the
Civil Service Commission to pre-
pare the blanks for the test exa-
mination or to cooperate with
YOU in the preparation Of them.
You will welcome the assistance
of the Civil Service Commission
in this and in any other respect
in which they can be helpful to
you.

Berlin Wednesday, April 9-(By The Associated Press)-The resigna- tion Of the whole specialization com mission, which has been rumored for some time, was formally announced last night. The action was due ac- cordlng to declaration made public in the Norwaerts by Dr. Kantzky, Inde- pendent Socialist, to the fact that from It's birth it had to combat ob- structed tactics from the imperialis- tic economic bureau" It was, there fore unable, it is said, to make proper plans for the SociaHstic reconstruc- tion of Germany.

Many a potato patch which spreads its foliage in most promising fashion throughout the summer proves sadly disappointing at digging time.
 It is true that good potatoes can not be produced without good tops; but luxuriant tops do not always mean fine potatoes. Running to tops," as the experienced grower calls it, has a most significant meaning. Potatoes grown on soil treated with manure alone frequently show this tendency.
 Excessive foliage at the expense of tubers ordinarily means that too much
