ITS GLORY ALL IN THE PAST
passage OF Time Has Left Quaint OLE
Welsh Town Of kidweIly
Far Behind.

kldWelly Is q quaint old town In
wales. 1t is dreamy little comm
nifty set in snugly between broad
marshes and Carmarthen bay, and di-
V1ded by curving river with an tln-
pronounceable Welsh name. Old Kid.
welly lives largely in the past. It has
been the Scene Of battles and sieges.
1t has castle whose turrcts and
round towers still stand bravely, their
age kindly hidden by the vines that
enfold them.
1t pretends to remember well the oc-
caston of the Welsh princess who
stormed the town at the head Of her
army. 1t tells the story proudly, 8
little sadly at the end, for the warrior
princess was executed by her enemies.
1t is a dusty, unYomantic climb to
the battlenents, but the view from the
castle top is worth the trip. The
quaint, tumbledown house, at The foot
Of the walls are mere skeleton Of the
old town as It Was in its prime. Be
yond them are marshy fields rolling
away to the next village. Far below
Is the river once thronged with ships
Of trade that long ago deserted it for
richer ports. It's streets are almost
empty, and its old-fashioned residents,
primly oblivious to new improvements
and styles of architecture, testify loud
~ to its age.

NUTS MILLION YEARS OLD
Interesting Fossils Recently Found by
the United States Geological
Survey.

Among the fossils recently discov-
cred by the United States geological
survey are remarkably we'll preserved
impressions or casts Of leaves Of sew
eral extinct varieties of ash, oak, beech
and hickory, which were found, with
three present-day species, In states Dor
dering the Gulf of Mexico, according to
the Youths Companion. Although the
leaves themselves have rotted aud
gone. here aDd there some were buried
in soft clay by sediment In such q man
ner as to leave perfectly preserved i'm
preSSi0ns.
The nuts, on the other hand, neither
decaycd nor periied, but fell into
pools OF water. which is one of the
best personalities in nature, and soon
er or later were also buried under silt
and clay. Owing to their hard shells,
those that fell into places favorable
to their preservation are today in ex-
cellent condition, although slightly
fattened by the long soaking and the
gentle pressure of the clay. The de-
post in which the leaves and nuts were
found Is not less than million years
old

ENUMERATORS FOR
CENSUS WANTED
supervisor Pape of Second Vermont
District Issues Call for 100
Work to Begin Jan. 2.

The director of the census, Hon. Sam
L. Rogers, announces that $4,000 en-
umerators will be needed to take the
next census. The work begins 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 locality and character of the dis
trict TO be canvassed. The average
pay per enumerator at the census of
1910 was about $40 At this coming
census it probably will not be less than
800.
Active, intelligent and reliable men
and women, not less than IS wears of
age are needed for this task" said Di-
rector Rogers, "and, in a sense, this is
call for volunteers. The Importance
of complete and reliable census, es-
pecially in these critical times when
more than ever before perhaps we need
complete data regarding population,
conditions, tendencies, and resources.
can hardly be overemphasized. The
reorganization of the social and econ
omlc structure and the readiustment
of international relations necessitated
by the war must be based on accura to
knowledge if we are to act wisely and
deal justly with all classes and all in
terests. 1t is hoped, therefore, that
publc-spirited, energetic people
throughout the country will volunteer to
act as census enumerators even thouph
they may not care for the positions so
far as the pay is concerned. l should
be sorry to think, and l do not believe.
that all our patriotism was used up bv
the war and none left over for pub
lie service in times of peace
q. Herbert Pape, supervisor of the
census for the Second district of Yer
mont, which includes the counties of
Caledonia, Essex, Orange, Orleans.
Washington, Windham and Windsor.
states that he will need about 600
enumerators for this district. Applica
tons or requests for application forms
should be sent to him on or before Oct
10. His address is Barre, Vermont.
As test of their fitness for the work
applicants will be required to fill out a
sample schedule and will be duly mott
ned of the time and place for this test
SO far as practicable the place selected
