The Director of the Census,
Sam L. Rogers, announces that
80, 900 enumerators will be need
ed to take the next census. The
work begins on Jan. 2 and will
last about two weeks in cities
and month or more in rural
districts. Rates of pay will
vary, depending upon the To-
caIity and character of the dis
trict to be canvassed. The av-
erage pay per enumerator at the
census of 1910 was about 70 dol
lars. At this coming census it
will probably be not less than
100 dollars. Sam B. Bradner,
Supervisor of the Census for the
First District Of Arizona, which
includes the counties of Mari
copa, Yavapai, Coconino, Apa-
che, Navajo, Mohave and Yuma,
says that he will need about 800
enumerators for this district.

rate the Deeds of a Knight in
the Days of the CruSadeS.

A CURIOUS custom prevails In
~ Florence at Easter in the flight
n of the Dove. Its origin is OBJ
scure, but the Rev. S. Barring.
Gould, who has well described it IN
his "In Troubadour Land" says that
it is alleged by some to commemorate
the deeds of Florentine knight, who,
in the crusade led by Godfrey de
Bouillon, was the first to climb the
walls Of Jerusalem and set upon them
the banner of the Cross. This knight
then sent back the news of the re-
covery Of the Holy Sepulcher to Flor
ence by carrier pigeon, and so it was
the first city in Europe to hear the
good tidings.
The caro-, a huge black structure
on wheels, Is garlanded with flowers,
and covered with fireworks. 1t is
drawn into the Cathedral square by
white oxen, also decked out with flow.
.ers. Then the following ceremony
takes place. A rope is extended from
the caro- to a pole which is set up in
the choir of the DuomO, before the
high altar, right up the whole length
of the nave. Upon the rope, close to
the pole, is perched a white plaster
dove. At the stroke Of twelve, while
the Easter eve Mass is in progress, "a
match is applied to a fusee, and in
stantly the white dove flies along the
rope, pouring forth a tail of fire, down
the nave, out at the west gate, over
the heads Of the crowd, reaches the
caro-, ignites fusee there, turns, and,
still propelled by it's fiery tail, whizzes
along the cord again till 1t has reach
ed its perch on the pole in the choir,
when the fire goes out and it remains
stationary. But In the meantime the
match ignited by the dove has COM
municated with the squibs and crack
ers attached to the caro-, and the
whole mass Of painted wood and flow
ers is enveloped in fire and smoke,
from which issue sheets Of flame and
loud detonations. Meanwhile Mass is
being sung compOsedly within the
choir as though nothing were happen
ing without. The fireworks continue
to explode for about quarter of an
hour, and then the great garlanded
oxen, white, with huge horns, are re-
yoked to the caro-, and 1t is drawn
away"
The flight of the dove is watched
with keen attention and interest by
the peasants, for from its style Of
flight they augur variety of future
happenings. Thus, If the bird sails
along easily without jerks they say
the summer Will be fine; while if 1t
goes sluggishly, and makes frequent
halts, they presage storms, late frosts,
hail, and, as a consequence, bad crops.

MAY END MINERS TROUBLES
Conference Held at London Recon-
mends That Men Accept Offer
Made by the Government.

The miners conference at London,
Eng, decided to recommend to Its
members that they accept the Sankey
report for the settlement Of the miners
demands on the government and that
a ballot be taken on the question. The
men are urged to continue at work on
day-to-day contracts, pending further
conference after the ballot is taken.
The report of the coal commission, OF
which Justice Sir John Sankey is
chairman, was issued March 20 and
recommended seven hours work In
stead Of eight from July 16 next and
six hours from July 1921. Increases OF
so cents a day were advocated, with
naturalization Of the men.

Common Easter BeIiefs.

It is considered by many unlucky to
omit wearing new clothes on Easter
day. To see lamb out of the window
on Easter morning is good omen, es-
pecially If its head be turned in the
direction of the house. To meet lamb
is lucky, as, according to the popular
notion, the devil can take any other
form than that Of lamb or dove.

Day Of Victory.

Easter is not the celebration of
serene and untroubled righteousness,
1t is no festival Of life always secure
in the enjoyment Of mastery over ma
lign forces. Easter is the day which
commentaries a supreme victory OF
good over evil temporarily triumphant
and newly overthrown. 1t is sacred to
resurrection, and resurrection implies
at least the brief ascendency Of death.

productive, many losing department
has been made to pay or has been cut
out and many farm has increased in
value thousands of dollars by virtue
of better farming methods, introduced
by the invaluable county agent.
This does not mean that Windham
county has had a monopoly of such
services; in fact, Rutland county.
Washington county and several other
counties have gained UNNECESSARILY
by such services, and the STANDARD of
work done has been similarly high in
other counties. The fact is that, rel
atively speaking, no single public en-
terprise has been of greater practical
value to the farmer than the employ
ment of county agents.
The recognition of this fact by the
federal government is good enough
proof of the same, and one of the early
acts of the U. S. department of agri-
culture will prol ably be in the diree-
ton of eo-ordinating the work of fed
eral agents and experts with the work
done by states, thus avoiding much of
the duplication which now exists.
County farm agents work, farm
bureau work, home demonstration work
and commonsense agricultural teach
ing in our schools have developed ed
vocational possibilities of the most i'm
portant nature, and the progress of
such work is certain to have a direct
and visible effect on the farming
