lcensus districts, each district to have supervision. In 1910 Alabama had five census districts, and that will probably be the number in 1920.
 The supervisors will appoint the enumerators, whose active duties will be limited to a few weeks, but each supervisor will begin service the latter part of this year and will not com plete his work until all the reports are forwarded to Washington and checked up.
 George M. Cruikshank has been recommended by Senator Underwood for supervisor in the district which will embrace Jefferson county and his appointment will be made accordingly. No better selection could be made.
 As the time for enumeration-April, i192O-approaches there is naturally much speculation as to Birmingham population when the count is made. If the census were taken this April Birmingham would be found with ap- proximately 225 1000. The city is grow ling at rapid rate now, as evil denced by the unprecedented demand l for houses. If the present rate is maintained Birmingham would prob- ably be credited with population of l300,000, or even more, in the next census.

WHEN NEW YORK was DRY

From the New York Times.
 The fact that the city and state of New
 York once were dry for nearly year
 was recalled the oth CT day by Arthur L.
 Cruikshank of Chicago, who was born in
 New York 80 years ago. The experience of New Workers under arid conditions
 came just before the outbreak of the civil
 war, MT. Cruikshank said. and after the
 law had provoked turmoil throughout
 the state the court of appeals declared i:
 unconstitutional and imperative. For an
 account of the sta te's experience. Mir.
 Cruickshank referred to Roberts His
 tory of New York, which says
 Maine had enacted it's law of prohibit
 ton in 1851, and it s example attracted much attention in New York. In the ses'
 sion of 1854 the legislature passed an acr for the suppression of intemperance' which aimed to prohibit the sale of intoX- icating drinks. Governor Seymour inter posed his vote on March 30, 1854, having previously warned the legislature not to act in opposition to the rights of the citi- zens.

THE NEST
By Lowell

By LOWeu
 When oaken woods with buds are pink,
 And new-come birds each morning sing, When tickle May on summers brink
 Pauses and knows not which to fling, Whether fresh bud and bloom again. Or hoar-frost silvering hill and plain, Then from honeysuckle gray
 The oriole with experienced quest Iwitches the fibrous bark away,
 The cordage of his hammock-nest, Cheering his labor with a note Rich as the orange of his throat. High OCT the loud and dusty road
 The soft gray cup in safety swings To brim ere August with it's load
 Of downy breasts and throbbing wings, Der which the friendly elm tree heaves An eternal roof with sculptured caves. Below, the noisy world drags by
 In the old way. because it must, The bride with heartbreak in her eye,
 The mourner following hated dust; The duty, winged flame of spring Is but to love, and fly, and sing. Oh. happy life, to soar and sway Above the life by mortals led. Singing the merry months away, Master, not slave of daily bread, And, when the autumn comes, to flee Wherever sunshine beckons thee!
