He has no one to help him. No one

buzzards hate him. They flap their
wings angrily and rush at him with

he may have moisture in his mouth, no

When he reaches that little tent or

to be disappointed that he finds moth

questions WIFI be softened and the quiz

Is expected to be a revelation to the
people at large.
Some Questions to be Omitted.
The unsatisfactory data obtained ten
years ago by inquiries regarding the
kind of timber on farms, the enumera-
ton of Union and Confederate sol.
diers and the unemployment Of citf-
zens In general, has led to their aban-
donluent. There will, however. be a
census of forestry and forest prod
ucts. A census will be taken also of
Guam, Samoa and the Panama canal
zone, but not Of the Philippines, as
that government will take q census Of
it's own this year.
The 1910 federal census began April
10. The 1920 census will start on
January 1, as a date better suited to
ascertain the crop yield Of the preced-
Ing season and, particularly in the
South, because 1t Is time prior to
the general change in farm tenancy
and before the breeding season Of
domestic animals. It Is also a date
when most "city folks" are at home
and travel Is at its lowest volume. It
Is expected that within two weeks all
places Of $500 inhabitants will have
been canvassed. What is known as the
"hand count" will begin about January

The, census bureau believes in pre-

ties. Once in ten years it expands sud-

lures feed.
The fourteenth time for doing all
this and more is still months off. but
the time is short to do what has to be
done to get ready. The task grows in
features and details every time 1t is
undertaken. The bureau is working
hard on it's arrangements to comply
with the additions the recent congress
has made to its schedules.
One Of the first new things in the
law Is a proviso that in making ap-
pointments preference shall be given
to honorably discharged soldiers. sea-
men and marines or their widows II

Will Employ 100000 Persona
There will be a force Of about
100000, including 10000 enumerators,
1000 clerks in Washington. and 400
supervisors with force Of special
clerks and agents. The cost Of taking
the census will approximate $4,000

WOMAN'S CLUB HOLDS GOODFEL[OWSA|P DAY

MESA, April 12.-Yesterday was a great day among the members of the Mesa Woman's club, the occasion being the observance of good fellowship day. The custom among the usually staid and dignified matrons and demure maidens, who compose the club, is on good fellowship day, to lay aside that same staid dignity and that beWitch- ing demureness, and barring vigorously all mere men from the assembly, have just a jolly good time. To this end 96 members of the club met at noon yes terday in the Orpheum theater where they were entertained by a program which was nothing if not funny in the extreme. First, however. the gathering was called to order by Mrs. Winona Stilwell, who in a few well chosen words, set forth the general purpose of goodfellowship day. Then followed a playlet Peter Peleg Gallup" and after this came the royal circus wherein two well known club women became the front and neither ends of trained ele phant, while another was the trained dog. Both of these animals, under the guidance of the clown of the circus, proved both docile and intelligent.
 Madame Outski, the Prima Donna and her baby dolls were the concluding number. the dolls representing the fashions, and each singing her little song. These same dolls were chosen from the grown ups, and the conception of the fashions of all the ages was strictly original and brought forth gales of laughter.
 Following the program came turkey | luncheon at the Bee Hive. Evidently
 this popular catering resort was at its best in the effort of yesterday for the
 women were loud in their praise both
 of the quality of the luncheon and the l perfect service rendered.

ANXIETY IN COTTON
 MARKET LESSEN|NG

The Republicans weekly New Bed ford, Mass, cotton letter says;
 The arrival of two shipments of Egyptian cotton which was reported in this market went long way toward allaying anxiety on the part of certain mill men who had accepted tire yarn orders calling for that variety and had found practically none of it available in this country. That situation result ed in an active demand for Peruvians and Sea Islands and to some extent for American Egyptian. This interest has continued to some extent this past week and some Sea Island and some Peruvian was sold. New Bedford mills took a little, but most of it went to Rhode Island and Boston territory, and will be used to fill in until the pure Egyptian is landed passed through quarantine and delivered. Good grades of Peruvian Mittafiffi have been quot ed at 45 to 46 cents and thereabouts, while Sea Islands have been nearly stationary, being quoted at 50 cents and higher for average extra choice, 51 cents for straight extra choice, and 52 cents for fancy. American Egyptian prices have remained stationary at 50 to 52 cents for Yuma and 66 to 60 cents for Pima, with little actual deal ing in either.
 Prices on extra staples have ad- vanced a cent or a cent and half a pound since last week though very wide variations exist. The following, based on both sales and quotations. is for white strict middling cotton classed as to staple on high standard of stap- ling:
 Inch and an eight, 35 to 36 cents.
 Inch and three -sixteenths. S7 and 3S cents.
 Inch and a quarter, 39 to Al cents.
 Inch and five six-teenths, Al to 43 cents.
 In some quarters prices slightly lower than these may be quoted, but it will be found that the difference is chiefly due to difference in the stand ard of stapling.

FIGHTING TANK" ID
 ENTERTAIN IN TEMPE

TEMPE, April 12.-The Fighting Tanks are expected to make the chau- tauqua atmosphere vibrate with the vim of their musical and dramatic entertainment as the program feature for the afternoon and night of the first day. This organization includes four of Uncle Sam's soldier boys who were talented musical and comedy enter tainers before they went over the top" and who have enlarged their vision and enriched their repertoire with the human contacts that trench and European camp life afford. Out of the trenches have come new gleams of humor, new flashes of fun, new bits of the dramatic element of life, and new melodies and sould refrains.
 These musical soldier boys will in- ject virility into the concert program. and. with their varied pattern of in- strumental music-making, vocal flights, quartet ensembles, monologues, comedy passages arms and glimpses of trench recreation. The Fighting Tanks promise to be a snappy and colorful battery of entertainers.
 The quartet will appear in uniform and will maintain the military flavor throughout their numbers, though the afternoon and the night performances will be quite distinctive in conception and matter.

the Red Cross will have finished their war activities, but the home service sections find that the volume of work is increasing very rapidly, and it will be of great assistance to the workers to study the methods of other localities and to bring many puzzling questions to those in authority to be solved.
 All chapters and branches are being urged to send delegates in order to prepare the service workers to meet the problems that must be faced with the return of disabled soldiers. This is but one of the issues to be met by those who are doing their bit to relieve the after the war conditions. There are countless situations that arise daily and it is to qualify for service that the conference is being held in the Old Pueblo of Tuesday.
