RESENT TAKING OF CENSUS
Enumerators in India Find Their Jobs
Full of Undesirable Thrills
Many Are Beaten.

The trials and tribulations of staff
of some 100000 census takers to
find out there were approximately
319,000,000 people i'll India in 1921,
have been related by J. Marten, CEN
SuS commissioner for India,
The employment of this huge army
of enumerators, said Mr.. Marten, was
necessitated by the fact that, owing to
the illiteracy of the population, the
employment of the householder as
enumerator of his household was i'm
possible. He told Of instances of
enumerators being stabbed by suspi-
cious Hindus, who considered the CEN
sus takers too inquisitive. Some of
the natives, on the other hand, resort
ed to violence when bribery failed to
induce the census takers to make
false entries showing that the natives
enjoyed higher stations in the social
scale than was really the case.
The census, Mr.. Marten said
showed gain of II per cent over the
population of 1911. The average
density of population over the whole
of India was TT to the square mile.
The maximum density of any province
was in Bengal, where there were
found to be COS to the square mile.

TAUGHT Enqland to Smoke.

The first man to make cigarettes for
the benefit of these islands was Mr..
Nicholas Coundouris, a Greek who be-
came an American citizen. 1t was in
1858 that he brought ten bales of Turk
fsh tobacco to England and started to
make cigarettes, which were then I'M
known.
"At first" Mr.. Coundouris told me,
"only few people adopted the new
habit; they included the then Prince
of Wales and Lady Mordaunt. 1t took
much patience and perseverance be-
fore cigarette smoking became popu-
lar"
Mr.. Coundouris, who is one Of the
most picturesque figures in London, is
eighty-seven, and is able to speak 20
anguages.-London Tit-Bits.

Every cellar window was broken in

Consequently, all the small domestic
animals in the Observation-Disclosures

Sometimes there was quite a gather
ing in the cellar, and when a pet was
missing, it was the regular thing to go
to Uncle Bill's" door with, "Have you
seen my cat?"
One evening nearby family missed
their ''tortoiseshell' at bedtime, and
concluding that she had joined the
happy throng at Uncle Bill's, sent their
man over to ask him if he would take
look and see if she was among the
number. 1t may have been a day of
many similar demands; at all events,
Uncle Bill was not in his usual good
temper.
"Your cat may be there, or she may
not be there" he said, "but l amt a.

DEEP DISH PIE RECIPE

A deep dish blackberry or blue
berry pie is much appreciated by a
hungry family. Take an enameled
ware bake dish of a proper size to fit
the family Place in the bottom Of
the baking pan an enameled ware
cup upside down. OF course, the
dish must be deep enough so that the
cup reaches, but does not extend be-
yond the crust, which is supports.
The cup collects the juice from ber-
ries and keeps it from making the
top crust heavy and form over
flowing.
Put in the berries, allowing for
every cupful tablespoonful of
sugar, even for these days when we
are trying to economic in that d.
rection. Roll out the piecrust rather
thick; butter the edges of the
enameled ware bake dish slightly
and put on the pie crust cover. Bake
in a slow oven and serve either hot
or cold Milk is great addition to
this dish or better yet cream, If one
can afford that LUXURY. After two
or three slices of the pie have been
cut the cup can be removed and
juice that has collected under 1t put
over the slices already cut.

CROSS CROSSINGS CAUTIOUSLY

Every year 1900 people are killed
and 5000 injured by driving autos
in the way of moving trains in this
country, and the safety first organ
izatoin is conducting a campaign to
arouse people to the danger and get
them to stop, look and listen before
going upon railroad tracks.
Try 1t upon yourself when you are
driving car and If you stop, look
and listen few times you will then
remember to look both ways il the
tracks are clear and stop and listen
II there Is an obstruction with a pos
sibility of a train back of it ready to
burst upon you at the wrong instant.
People who have driven in front
of moving train conf1de to their
friends that at such q moment, a To-
connective looks bigger than a mount
ain and thousand times as danger
GUS.
Persons riding, but not driving the
car should help the driver by look
ing along the track for him and re-
porting so he will not have to look
back over his shoulder and thus take
the risk of swerving the car while
looking. A driver always appre-
ciates 1t II his guest or seatmate, on
approaching railroad crossing,
looks for him in the difficult direc-
ton and says in low tone, mo train
on the left" or mo train in sight"
or Train approaching, STOP" Make
it a rule to aid the driver in such
ways and also mention whether there
is an auto following close up.
Don't try to boss the driver-just
inform him, and speak low.
The railroads and the press of the
country are trying right now to in
form people and impress them with
the danger at railroad crossings, and
of how to keep safe. The number
of deaths and injuries is increasing
and it is up to you and others who
drive or ride in cars to change this
appalling situation and make auto
travel safer. 34-35-36

ELECTRICITY, ASSISTANT TO Sol

The international institute of agri-
culture reports that farming by
electric light produces better and
bigger crops than farming in sun
light. 1t reports that vegetables
have been successfully forced" by
the aid of electric light Over a
plot Of lettuce five lamps were ar
ranged so that the light was difiused
as uniformly as possible. These
lamps were furnished with ref1ectors,
and the intensity of the illumination
varied over the surface at different
points. The lamps were switched on
for about six hours every day begin
ming at, dusk. Lettuce illuminated
had, after twelve days, about, two
and a half times as many fresh leaves
as those not illuminated. Moreover,
the leaves of the forced" produce,
says the institute, were larger and
firmer and realized better prices"
Plants exposed only to daylight re-
quired from four to five weeks, or
double the time, to attain this degree
of development. 1t would be posi-
BILE, therefore, in practice to obtain
in the same period of time, two CROPS
of lettuce instead of one
After seven weeks of prolonged
illumination a comparison was made
between the plants of the Illuminated
plot and those of the plot not illum-
mated. A SO per cent superiority of
weight of the former over the latter
was found

TO PARENTS AND
COLLEGE STUDENTS

The young people of Blackfoot
planning to go awly to school should
not overlook the Idaho Technical
Institute at Pocatello. 1t has gone
up so rapidly that many people do
not realize its splendid status at
present BY enlarging the faculty
and by raising the standards of
equipment and instruction, the
school has in four years achieved a
new epoch and it's credentials are
now as valuable as those from any
institution of the same class and are
so recognized thruout the United
States. High school graduates by
attending the Tech JuniOnr College
are upper classmen from the start,
drawing the best teachers and heads
of departments and reducing ma
terially their chances for disappoint-
ment or failure. They enter the
University of dIaho, or any other
standard university, as full fiedged
juniors and are thus upper classmen
thruout their entire course. Think
it over-state school, no tuition, in
structors equal to the best, splendid
school spirit, wide choice of courses,
An inspection visit to the campus
now might pay big dividends. Learn
about our regular college courses,
also commerce, pharmacy, agricul-
ture, engineering, home economics,
normal, music, art and trades. Reg
