too. whose soldiers fought along
side the American troops and gain

feels the necessity for voice in
the big partnership which is to de-
termine the affairs OF the world
Indeed, 1t was when a tendency to
show a spirit independent Of Lon
don appeared that the statesmen Of
England yielded to the demand Of
the self-governing colonies for a
part in settling the foreign policy
of the empire, especially when it
might affect their lives and prop
erty. New Zealand felt the same
way. To be sure, IL is said that,
based on his experience at Paris,
the president thinks the British
colonies are Just as apt to concur
in the views Of the United States
as they are in those OF the mother
country. This would be especially
%tue If ever the question Of racial
is introduced by Japan.
Z. S. Has Supporters.
But Mr.. Wilson's argument that
the British colonies merely were
to have delegates present who can
express their views applies also to
countries more or less under the
protection Of the United States.
Cuba, for instance, would have a
vote or delegate in the assembly.
So would the Philippines when its
independence is granted. So would
Panama, which is already an indie
pendent state. America could as
a rule count on Brazil and some of
the Central and South American
states whose interests are identi-
cal with the United States, so that
even in the matter OF an express
sion of opinion in the assembly,
the United States would find al

Which were disinterested in Euro
peAQ intrigues and which would
be more than likely to occur in the
American view as they have in the
past.
Shantung Also Revelation.
The way Mr.. Wilson has handled
the Shantung question has also
impressed Californians At the big
meeting in Oakland there were oc-
Casional Kisses for Johnson, some
thing unheard of in California
But some of the people in the
crowd with whom l talked
afterwards said this was not to be
construed as by any means a rep
resentative expression of public
feeling toward Senator Johnson,
though they admitted that his ar
guments on the league had omitted
to tell all the facts about Shan
tung and the question OF Britain's
six votes so that his prestige in
the state might eventually be af-
fected.

Fire Destroys THREE Buildings
at HiMcklcy

Three buildings were burned
and the destruction of the village
again threatened at Hinckley
last Thursday.
The fire originated from vul-
canizing a tire. in a repair shop,
when the gasoline exploded and
the room became a mass OF
flames.
The chemical engines failed tc
work. Meanwhile the flames
spread to the harness and shoe
shop, owned by John Harth. anC
DESTROYED it and the J, c. Engel

THE COMING 14th
DECENNIAl CENSUS
Census Facts Have Nothing to
Do With Property Valuation
for Taxation.

Washington, October H.
That the facts and figures gath
cred by the enumerators. super
visors and special agents of the
Fourteenth Decennial Census
will have absolutely nothing to
do with valuation of property
for taxation purposes is a point
| desire to emphasize with all
possible vigor." said Director of
the Census Sam l.. Rogers today
in speaking of the forthcoming
1920 enumeration.
Some difficulty has been ex-
perienced in the past" continued
Mr.. Rogers. lin getting absolute
ly accurate values of land and
other property because of a cer-
tain amount of confusion over
this point. Many people we're
enormously inclined to connect
the Census with taxation. We
hope to avoid any such confu-
sion this time"
The act of Congress which,
under the Constitution. provides
for the taking of the Fourteenth
Decennial Census makes it un-
lawful for any enumerator. spe-
cial agent. supervisor or other
employee Of the Census Bureau
to divulge any information what
soever concerning the census re-
turns. A heavy fine and possible
imprisonment. or both. is the
penalty prescribed for violation
of this provision Of the law.
The proper tabulated figures
of the Census are given out no.
where but here in Washington
and then only upon the express
authority Of the Director of the
Census Bureau.
Actual work by the enumera-
tors in the various census dis
tricts will begin on January 2.
1920. II is expected that the p0-
pulation statistics of all cities
and towns will be gathered in
approximately two weeks. Final
figures for rural districts. how.
ever. can hardly be gathered in
less than a month.

While visiting at Tyler in
Lincoln county, Rev. Bobjerg,
who left Askov few weeks ago
for California. was called out to
baptize triplets.
The Tyler Journal gives the
following account Of the affair:
Lincoln county is booming
beyond question! When the po-
pulation increases at the rate Of
triplets the neighboring counties
will please tip the hat to Lincoln
county.
AT the Knud Petersen home
about 4 miles north Of Tyler
triplet girls were born last Mon
day morning Oct. 6, 1919. We
hope the three young ladies' will
prosper and some day be the
pride Of the county, and the
Journal extends triple congratu-
lations.
Rev. A. Bobjerg was called
out to baptize the X. Petersen
triplets Tuesday afternoon and
they were called Violet, Verma
and Vera. Two were so similar
that they had to be marked that
they might be sure of keeping
the name given"

will have at least so gallons from
his small patch of cane. AT the
present price Of syrup. he will
receive very good returns for his
