10000 ON JOB TO
TAKE U. S. CENSUS;
COST, ~ MILLIONS

The taking Of "the greatest census
the world has ever seen" was started
last week when 10000 workers began
the task Of enumerating the popula-
tion, as well as the natural and indus
trial resources of the United States.
Sam Rogers, director of the census,
who gave the word to start work on
January 2, expects to be able to make
his first estimate two weeks later.
Though no official prediction as to
how many people are living in the
United States are Forthcoming, It
was learned that the census bureau
expects the final count will show at
least between 100 and 105 millions.
Work of directing the census Is d.
vided up into 379 regions, with su-
pervisor in charge Of each region.
The districts are split up in con-
formity to Congressional districts,
though in several instances, especi-
ally where there is thick popula-
tion in small area, two or three
Congressional districts are combined
under the direction of one supervisor.
Cost Of taking the census, Rogers
said will be approximately $22,000,-
900. The census will include Hawaii,
Porto Rico, the District Of Columbia,
Alaska, Guam, Samoa and the Pana-
ma Canal Zone.
"The census will cover statistics on
population, agriculture, manufac-
lures, forestry and forest products,
and mines and quarries," he con-
tinued.
According to the last census Of
1910, there were 91,972,266 inhabi-
tants Of the United States, exclusive
Of Alaska and insular possessions.
This has been increased by at least
100000, according to an estimate
made by the census bureau when It
recently made an investigation on the
country's man power. The result
caused the bureau to estimate the
country's population at more than
100,O00,OoO.
Other work Of the enumerators will
include census on how many farms
there are in the United States, their
value of manufactured and mineral
products. The 1910 census placed
the value Of farms, manufactured
and mineral products at more than
100000, 900, 900.

CLOVIS HAD FEW
FIRES IN 1919

Clovis was exceedingly fortunate
in the matter Of fires during the year
just passed. Fire Chief Jack Lewis
furnishes the News with some inter-
esting statistics in regard to the fire
losses in Clovis for 1919. There were
nine fires with total loss of only
$244O.SO. 1925 of this loss was with
out the reach of fire protection and
was unavoidable. S1625.30 of the
loss was within the fire limits and in
not a single instance was building
completely destroyed 1t is doubtful
if another town the size of Clovis in
the entire state can show such re-
cord While there were nine fires in
1919, the record shows that the de-
partment answered twenty-five
alarms during 1918.

FEELS SORRY FOR FOLKS
IN HIS NATIVE STATE

d. l.. Moye returned the first Of
week from visit to his old home in
Kentucky. He says he had a fine
time but feels sorry for those folks
back there because they do not real
ize what fine country Eastern New
Mexico is. Mr.. Moye says farms in
the section where he visited sell for
from SIS to $500 per acre and they
do not produce as much as our farms
do. On practically every farm the
farmer uses fertilizer in order to
produce. as good crops as he does. He
says IL those folks would visit New
Mexico tbis year and see the bOunti-
ful crops we have raised on cheap
land. the land out here wouldn't be
cheap very much longer.
