Census OF Farm Life
To Be Taken In State

The department of commerce is
about to take a census of agriculture
covering the crop year 1924 and re-
lating to conditions on or near Janu-
airy 1, 1925. This is the first census
of agriculture to taken midway be-
tween the decennial censuses. The
act of congress authorizing it is bas-
ed on the belief that with rapidly
changing conditions in agriculture,
there should be stock taking as
often as every five years.
The work of taking the census will
begin on December 1, and is to be
completed on or before January 81.
AS rapidly as possible after the re-
ceipt of returns statements will be
released for the press by the census
bureau at Washington, relative to pro-
duction of the principal farm crops
and the values of farm properties, in
Guiding land, buildings, machinery and
livestock.
w. NJ Grain has been designated
as supervisor of the census of agri-
culture for the. state of Arizona, with
headquarters at Phoenix. Approx
mately 81 enumerators will be requir-
ed to make the canvass. The 1920
census showed that there were 1875
farms in the state at that time.

BRINGING UP FATHER

Ruhbling over with hilarious good

engagement of one night, Thursday
December 18th. Bringing Up Father
in Ireland is the title of this years

artist, gives us new "Phool-Stunt

playwright give theatregoers a new
NAV every season. There's nothing
left but the inevitable characters,
"Jiggs and Maggie" and those Two
bannv conceits of the fertile artistic
brain of George McManus, will live
forever and after.
It's just plain old tashloneq
sT,augh-fest" with musical and dancy
environment. Not meant to cause
tiresome thought or any dire dramatic
illusion. Just plain musical snow
with pretty girls and some new and
nleasing music. All set to scene OF
rare beauty in the land of the "Old
Sod" from whence "Jiggs and Mag
gle" had their birth. Even II thelr
birth was fathered and mothered py
a lead pencil, pushed by as good as
Irishman as ever sampled pint Oh
beer, Bringing Up Father" patrons
are loyal enough to patronize the play
whenever it comes to town. And Judg-
ing from the success of last season
production, it will last another gen

McManus to train one of the bright
Young hopeful McManuses to push
pencil as successfully as did the OLD
man. For bringing Up Father" with

Although only about 80 tons of
reindeer meat were shipped from
Alaska to this country in 1928 indi

there would soon be a rapid increase
in the quantity shipped. In 1923 the
entire number of reindeer in the ter
ritory totaled about 241, 900, according
to estimates made in sc herds. The in
crease in the number of reindeer in
Alaska each year runs from 33 to As
per cent of the total number of ami
mails in the herd This percentage
can be raised by better understand

of the Eskimos and other owners, and

United States department of agricul-
ture conducts important investiga-
tional work in Alaska in the interests
of the reindeer industry, including
studies of diseases and parasites,
feeding experiments to determine the
nutritive values of different types of
native forage, poison-plant problems,
herd management and breed improve
ment.
Through the establishment of cor
rails, herd owners are improving con-
ditions in their herds. Cooperative
handling and management of some of
the herds has been practiced with
good results. An additional impetus
has been given to the industry by two
American companies which are now
operating refrigerating plants to re-
ceive reindeer carcasses for the pur-
pose of shipping them to markets in
the United States through Seattle. One
of these companies operates refriger-
ating barges which can move from one
point to another, mainly in the rivers,
and the other company has several
small cold-storage plants along the
coast.

Mute Quarrelers Divorce.

The odd story of how deaf mutes
quarrel with one another and indulge
In mutual insults through the medi-
UNI of sign language Just has been
adumbrated In a Paris court, says the
New York Tribune.
A deaf-mute wife was suing her
deaf-mute husband for divorce on
grounds Of brutality, and It was from
the evidence which the wife produced
that Frenchmen first became aware
dumb people can be just as mean as
can their more fortunately endowed
brethren.
1t might easily provide a new plot
for Anatole France. who wrote about
a husband who was not dumb and
married dumb wife. Here neither
of the two participants In the do
mestic tragedy could speak except
thr ough their hands, and yet. accord
ing to the interpreter who was called
into the case, the husband. by quIrk-
ing his thumb and forefinger in a
curious way conveyed most insulting
and brutal phrases to his wife.
1t seems that within the sign Ian
guage there has grown up whole
vocabulary of abusive words. though
meaning nothing whatsoever to per-
sons endowed with speech, and they
id cause for divorce.
Then, too, the wife testified,
through her interpreter. that often
times, when she had been engaged
in an animated conversation with her
husband in the evening, he would get
up and switch off the light, making
1t impossible for her to talk any
more.
The divorce was granted.

merchant seemed to be convinced
that the line was just what he want

Yorkshire man added, refiectively:
There's ma lad Jack: Ah'd lake

The traveller gladly assented to the
proposition, and at the appointed
hour presented himself again for the
interview with father and son. Again
he went over the forceful selling
points Of his line. Never had he put
forth a more persuasive argument or
a finer selling talk. When he had

STRICT CASTE RULES
IN SCHOOLS OF INDIA
From the Saturday Evening Post.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
The children Of India are not per-
mitted to enjoy anything that remotely
resembles free association. There are
a great many public schools. but the
children who attend them are either
caste equals or they are held to the
strict observance Of caste regulations.
The children Of the depressed classes
are not allowed to enter anywhere. Yet
In one way, and as far as the advan-
tages go, the depressed classes enjoy
better educational advantages than any
class in India, because 1t Is to them
that the Christian missionaries devote
their particular attention.
The communities and castes are all
mixed up in the general population, and
are not, except In occasional instances,
domiciled en- masse in separate areas.
A Hindu and Mohammedan may live
in adjoining houses.
The castles and communities may all
enjoy certain measure Of social inter-
course. They may meet together and
talk, but 1t must all be In the open or
