One Saturday the boys in the Walnut

they would be pleased If their friends
and relatives would visit them in a

They met at Palmers. and proceeded
in body to the park. There was a

tire Palmer family and Aunt Phoebe
and Mr.. Ilenshaw and Mr.. and Mrs
Jones and Aunt Grace and her new
husband and Billy and Mary Ellen and
their papa and mama and Mr.. Ramsey
and James Augustus Brown who was
to be a member Of the gang as soon as
he could walk.
Every one admired the ball diamond
and the croquct court and Tie swimmu'
hole. There wasn't a weed in sight and
everything was spick and span with
paint. Even the high fence was a daz-
zling white and the boys had done il
all under the direction OF their fathers.
When II was all inspected the boys
swung the girls in the final new swings
and let them wade in the pool and then
they all ate picnic lunch under the
big elm.
Then the boys all got together and
under Peters direction yelled out:

THE CENSUS COUNT
EVERY PERSON IN THE COUNTRY
TO BE COUNTED FARMS
TOO.

The Fourteenth Decennial Census, to
which President Wilson has called the
attention of the Nation in his PROCLAIM
alton made public today, is to be the
biggest, best and most complete census
of the United States ever taken if the
plans of the Census Bureau do not 60
.awry.
Director of the Census, Sam l.. Rog-
ers has announced that everything is in
readiness to begin the canvassing cam
paign that during the month Of Janu-
AIRY, 1920, will cover every mansion,
every cottage and hut in the country.
An army of more than 81, 900 enumera-
tors under the direction of 372 census
supervisors will be engaged in making
the count. Every person in the land
will be enumerated and the names OF
all Uncle Sans nieces and nephews
will be set down and forwarded to
Washington.
Many other questions concerning
home tenure, citizenship, marital stat
us, literacy, sex, color and race are con-
tanned in the population schedule
which the enumerators will fill out from
the answers given them.
Farm Questions Important.
Farmers also will be asked the ques-
lions contained in the agricultural
schedule relating to their farms. These
questions cover farm tenure, farm pro-
ducts, values of farm lands, buildings,
implements and improvements, field
crops, garden products, farm expenses
livestock, poultry, bees, dairy products,
improved and unimproved lands, farm
drainage and irrigation-in fact, all
phases of the farming industry are COW
cred.
Even the family Ford will be count.
ed. as, in fact, will all automobiles and
tractors on farms. Questions as to tel
ephones and electric-light, gas and wat
er plants also are included in the
group of inquiries which fall under the
general heading Of "farm facilities,'
the purpose of the government in col
Letting information Of this character
being to show the modern improvements
installed on farms during the past de-
cade.
Information Confidential.
The Census Bureau desires to empha-
size the fact that the information gath
cred in the Census is for general status
teal purposes only and that such IN
formation can not DO used as a basis for
IaNaL1On. moi Gull SuC1l luIoI CAoIl wv
used to harm any person IN any way
This is pointed out in the President s
Proclamation.
AS a matter of fact the identity of
individuals is lost as soon as the filled
out schedules are received at Washing
ton. For upon reaching there the IN
formation is transferred from the sheets
to cards. This done by machinery and
names arc discarded entirely. More
over, every person connected with the
taking of the Census is prohibited by
Federal law from divulging any In
Information given them in the perform
lance Of their duties.
The Bureau of the Census has always
had the willing cooperation of the pub
lie in the past and confidently looks for
ward to that same spirit Of cooperation
for the Census of 1920.
