DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
IN STRONG FILM

In January of 1919 the entire
amusement world was startled by the
formation of the United Artists AS
sociation, This association was
formed by Mary Pickford, Charlie
Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and b.
w. Griffith. These artists, conceded
throughout the world to be the
screens foremost producers, after
having released their pictures for a
number of years through various dis
tributing companies decided that to
assure their best work and in order
to have full independence for the
highest expression of their art, they
would upon the completion of their
then-existing contracts, release their
own pictures, direct to the theatres

tence Of few enumerators and sick
ness in the families of others were
other causes contributing to the de-
lay, with the result that It will be
the end of this week before the entire
enumeration is finished. Up to Tues
day, there were ten districts from
which no returns had been received.
One Of these is in Tampa; and, In
mentioning this fact, the supervisor
said that he had made strenuous ef-
fcrts to get in the returns from Tam
pa before the first of this month and
send them to Washington to enable
the director Of the census to publish
the total, but two of the enumerators
OF that city did not finish their work
until within the past week.
The enumerators whose returns
have been sent to Washington were
paid promptly and practically all OF
them appeared to be satisfied with
the compensation received.
The supervisor mentioned an in
teresting incident of his work aris-
ing from the fact that the returns
from one town In this district showed
q population increased Of nearly 300
per cent He was so surprised that
he made careful inquiry as to the
correctness OF the returns with the
result that he became convinced that
no padding" Of the rolls had been
done and that the returns were and
are correct He declined to name the
town or the county in which 1t is To-
Gated.
In closing hiS work,ethe supervisor
speaks very highly Of his office force:
Mrs. Celia Wotitzky, stenographer
Braxton B. Blount, Jr., chief clerk:
and Mrs. Mars Gautier, assistant
clerk and stenographer.
He said that he is sure that no su'
pervisor's office In the country had Q
more loyal, efficient and agreeable
force of clerks than the First Distric'
of Florida,

Temperature-The temperature av-
eraged 2 to 3 degrees below the nor

moderately high on several days, and
much Of the week was sunshiny.
Precipitation--The week was most

is most decided in south-central and
southern counties.
Condition of Crops,--The week, as
q whole, was probably the most fav-
orable Of the season, and It might be
termed complaining week, being
given largely TO that task. Replant'
ed corn that is up is generally prom
ising, although some complain OF poor
stand. This is confined. however, to
portions of the central division, as
the bulk Of the crop was recently

planted in central and northern di
