NEWS FROM THE COUNTY
ASSESSO

County Assessor Carl n. Gleason has
received from the Stat te Board of I'm
migration the schedules to be used
his year in collecting q gricultural sta
tistics, as required und er the agricul-
ural statistics law passed in 1919. The
Information to be cole cted this year
about the same as that collected
asst year, with a few items added. The
most important addition is regarding
fruit. each farmer being; asked under
he new schedule to Civ e the number
of fruit trees of bearing age of the
arious kinds to be fountl on his farm
md the number of acres in small
fruits. This information was not
asked for last year and will not be
asked for again for two or three years.
20. 1t is especially important that this
part of the survey be covered COM
pletely.
The schedule is simple and all ques-
tions may be answered by farmers
without reference to any books or ac-
counts. In addition to the number of
acres of various crops they are rails
ing this year farmers are requested to
give the total acreage of their farms,
acreage first cropped this year, acres
If unbroken land fit for farming, num-
Der of slos and farm tractors and
number of hens and brood sows on
April /, 1920. Since the enumeration
IS begun on April l, most farmers will
not have planted all their crops when
they are visited by the assessors, They
Will be asked to give the total acreage
they expect to devote to each crop
this year, including what they have
planted and what they expect TO plant.
The information to be gathered
through this survey will be used in
keeping farmers, transportation COM
panies and others interested informed
as to the amount of the various. crops
hat will be produced in the different
sections of the state. Crop bulletins
giving acreage, condition and esti-
mated production of all the principal
crops, by counties, will be published
each month and the fullest possible
publicity will be given them, so that
the farmers, as well as those who deal
in the farmers products, will be in.
formed regarding crop outlook and ex-
Dected production. 1t is believed that
hat kind of Information will be of
great value to the farmers in guiding
sheir marketing operations.
The law requires that each farmer
furnish the assessor or deputy the in
formation asked for and provides
penalty for failure on the part Of the
farmer to comply with the assessors
request. 1t also provides that no use
shall be made of individual reports of
farmers except in compiling totals for
the various counties. In other words,
the individual reports of farmers are
strictly confidential and severe penal
ties are prescribed for disclosing them.

her feet and tumbled out on the floor
The room was filled with smoke that
poured into the hall, and the blazing
curtains had caught the flames SO
f1erceiy that several pictures were
ahre. A moment later and the fire
would have gotten over the whole flat
and both Fluffy and Aunt Pauline
would have been burned.
But seeing a moments lift in the
smoke, Aunt Pauline dashed to the
bathroom and, getting a pail of water,
managed, by making several trips, to
put out the flames.
Then, tired and exhausted with the
excitement, she sat down In tears in
the front room with little Fluffy curled
In her lap.
Presently the door opened and In
came Ada. The smoky room, the wet
floor, a weeping woman with the dog
in her lap, astonished the child.
"Why, what on earth has hap

Fluffy scorched and lying in your

Aunt Pauline burst into new flood

smart and good of her to do that?"
"She is the best doggie in the
world cried Aunt Pauline as she went
to the cupboard and got out a bit of
chicken and some milk. 1--WE will
never speak again of her going away.
Fluffy must stay right here, and she
shall have milk and chicken for din
ner every day. Then that pretty rug

a very happy party there was that
night after the gas was lighted and
the dinner had been cleared away.
Fluffy sat on the sofa while Ada and
Aunt Pauline made pretty bows for
her neck and praised her up as the
best little dog in the world

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
DOUBLE NEGATIVES.

A LTHOUGH the double negative
L a that is. the use of two words to
express the negative when one is need
eds found in early English and in
other languages, its use in English
nowadays is incorrect. The use of
such phrases as "She don't want
none," Il can't do no more I'VE don't
know nothing" etc, marks the care
less speaker. They are found seldom
in writing, since the very act of writ
ing, save in letters by the uneducated,
induces a more careful selection OF
words than does speaking.
Shakespeare says, Il cannot go no
further" but in this the unsurpassed
writer probably followed the usage of
his own times; a modern writer or
speaker would say, 81 can go no fur
ther," or II cannot go any further"
Similar to the use Of the double
negatives, and similarly erroneous
are such sentences as the following
81 haven't had hardly nights sleep
'I cannot get but one suit of clothes.
Say, "I have had hardly a night
sleep :" 81 can get but one suit

Il the window with Fluffy In her
arms, the dogs wet nose pressed
against the pane, while the chllds
tears flowed silently down her cheeks
and on to Fluffy's curly head.
Tor Fluffy was to be sent away into
the country. Ada, who was mother

Aunt Pauline, but the aunt did not like
dogs and decided to send the pet out
to her farm. The news broke Ada s
heart.
