INTERPRETATION OF WORD

Washington, November 8: What Is
Seems a foolish question to ask.
Doesn't it? Almost anyone can tell
9n-hand just what a farm is and
Knows one when he sees it.
farm for census purposes is all
.ne land which is directly farmed bv
one person conducting agricultural
operations, either by his own labor or
Nith the assistance of members of his
hVqsenoid or hired employees"
N further explanation of this def
lhllion the Census Bureau points out
may the term agricultural opera
Hons" is used as a general term re-
ssLrlng 70 the work Of growing crops
producing other agricultural pro-
uuets and raising domestic animals,
poultry or bees.
from this definition it will be seen
suat a farm may consist of a single
uaet OF land or of number Of sep
arate and distinct tracts. And these
Tracts may be held under different
ssenures as, for instances, when one
Lact Is owned by the farmer and an
oaner IS rented by him. Thus if a
1!an ss. who owns 100 acres rents an adj
u.g1lonai ten acres from some one else
~ operates both the 100 acres and
sAe zen acres, then his farm includes
acres. NVl'a y iSiiAs ~

MISS SCHILLIG'S
MUSICAL DEBUT
Port Gibson Girl Makes Record in
Musical World in New York. GA
Soprano of Rare and Fine Art..

The New York Evening Sun thus
comments upon the debut Of Miss
0tillie Schillig, a former Port GIBSON
girl, in New York city last week:
Heard but seldom before and then
not solely on her own behalf, Miss
Ottilie Schillig's recital IN Aeolian
Hall yesterday afternoon was virtual-
W her debut. A more propitious one
has not greeted young singer in
New York for the many moons of this
and last season. Her first few notes
betrayed her as a soprano Of rare and
fine art and a member Of that aristoc-
racy where voices, however pleasant,
are but the means to that end toward
which the brain and heart and an un-
erring taste conspire.
Hers is none the less a voice Of
beauty; she uses it, apart from all its
capable range and colorful texture,
with restrained intensity which be-
comes both her and her vocal mate
rial. Her style, unobtrusively fore
most, has the archness, yet the subtle
drama to it, which has made Povla
Frisch artistically famous. Besides
which, to be sure, she has much more
voice on which to build than Nine.
Frisch, and proved it when she sang.
Her placing is admirable, and In her
legato is an ease and grace almost
rapturous to hear.
Mozart is stylist's test: Miss
Sehillig did the "Arictte" as she had
previously done a Gluck selection,
more than prettily. She was equally
successful with the modern French
men she interpreted; even the fierce,
short whoopings of Alexandra
Georges's "Hymn to the SUM- had
refulgent rays across it as she sang.
One Brahma she gave, "May Night"
and IL the audience was cooler to IL,
the fault lay more probably In the
awkward translation into English.
w. L. George, the English novelist,
tried in his Literary Chapters to
perfect an Esperanto Of Art" where
in all various firms Of art should have
a common lingo. Had he succeeded,
it would be easier to express the sur
prise and delight which surrounded
the quiet, unannounced entry Of Miss
Sehillig.

chicken yard accommodating a few
busy hens will not be allowed to quail
ify as a farm" in the census no mat
ter with what pardonable pride and
satisfaction the proprietor may view
his agricultural enterprise,
But if the garden or chicken ward
expands until it covers not less than
three acres Of ground, or until it re-
quires for its care the continuous SER
vice Of at least one person, or Yields
products annually to the value of $3.50
or more, it comes within the census
definition Of a farm and will be rec
ognized as such and counted.
The agriculture schedule contains
many questions regarding farm val
ues, expenses and live stock as well
as the acreage and quantity of crops
raised in the year 1919. Census Bu-
reau officials are urging farmers ev-
erywhere to prepare for the census
enumerator by looking over their
books and records so that accurate
answers may be furnished to ques-
tions.
In this connection the Bureau Of the
Census emphasizes the fact that the
information furnished to census TAX
ers is absolutely confidential, made
so by Act of Congress, and that under
no circumstances can any such in
formation be used as a basis for tax
alton.

CATTLE THEFTS NEAR
NATCHEZ ARE DENIED

Natchez, Miss, Oct 2S.-Cattle
owners of Adams and Wilkinson coun-
ties, investigating the alleged whole
sale cattle stealing, reported to the
Adams County Live Stock Associa-
tion by Judge George Armstrong,
owner of cattle ranch of 10000
acres, declared they had been unable
to find evidence Of extensive thefts
or that Judge Armstrong had person.
ally lost approximately 1000 head. The
committee declared that it had OBJ
tanned a record of shipments from
Texas and Oklahoma to the Arm
strong ranch and also shipments from
the ranch to outside points and that
this with other information warrant
ed the conclusion that Judge Arm
srong had not lost over 2z5 head,
which were believed to have been
drowned in freshet or lost in a large
swamp on the place.
The committee denied that an or
ganized band of cattle thieves is oper-
ating in Adams and Wilkinson coun-
ties and deplored the statement to
this effect and publicity resulting,
which it was claimed had injured land
values.
When the report was submitted to
the live stock association for endorse
ment it was decided by the body that
the matter was one for the authorities
Of the county to consider and no form
oil action was taken on the matter.
Judge Armstrong was not at the
meeting of the association, but a res
olution offered by him was read urg-
ing the members to agree not to pur-
chase unbranded cattle and also re-
tain the services Of an inspector.
While no action was taken with re-
gard to an inspector, resolution was
passed that all of the memebrs of the
association register their brands and
list them with the secretary Of the
association.

SOME OF THE NEEDS OF
THE AMERICAN RED CROSS

There are in the United States 200,-
GOO discharged disabled men who need
the help Of the Red Cross in securing
for them their rights under the com
pensation act, hospital treatment
or whatever assistance they may
need
In the Gulf Division there are g.

2,483); and Of this number $500 are
tubercular Thus far, only 200 have
been persuaded to take the proper
treatment. There is, therefore, still
much to be done; but the Red Cross
is on the job and already the After
Care Bureau Of the Gulf Division has
followed nearly 5000 men from camp
to home and win continue to keep in
touch with each one until he is prop
erly cared for.
Surprising as it may seem, the last
few months have shown an increase
in the number of families aided by
the Red Cross. This is due largely to
the fact that men still in service are
for the most part in hospitals and
can do little or nothing for those
dependent upon them.
The figures show that $12,264.25
was spent during the one month Of
August, while the average for the
preceding twenty months IS $6,344.55
per month. The fact that twice the
usual monthly amount was spent in
August.
