HELP ENUMERAT0Rs,
SAYS CONGRESSMAN

Congressman John w. Summers
believes that everybody should as
sist the census enumerators in ev-
cry way, to the end that their returns
will be as accurate as it is possible
to make them. In statement is
sued at Washington, D. c., on
March "a, he said:
| Zone of the greatest benefits to
east Washington and the State will
be to show by the new census a
marked increase in population, de-
! velopment and growth. An organ
lied committee should work sys-
tematically with the enumerators
with a determination to count all
who claim the grand new State OF
Washington as ''home".
"Our population affects the distri-
button of federal road funds and
other federal aid to the State. Those
desiring new homes select growing
and progressive communities. A
failure to show an increase in pro-
portion to other States will work to
our disadvantage.
Washington's representation in
Congress will be increased, and our
peoples interests will be vitality al
fected in many ways by this 1880
census. Therefore, we should all
strive to see that the census returns
are as complete as possible.
"There are thousands in our dis
trict who are temporarily away from
home attending school, working, or
on visits, who will not be enumer-
ated in Washington unless blanks
are obtained from enumerators and
sent to them.
Il hope the civic organizations
together with the town and county
officials, postmasters and influ-
entail citizens will make it their duty
to confer, check lists and offer sug-
gestions to the local enumerators,
who, with the Census Supervisors,
am sure will welcome such as
sistance.
every man, woman and child
should be counted"

GOING TO LARGER FIELD

The announcement Of his appoint
ment to the pastorate of St. Joseph's
Catholic church Of Spokane by Bishop
White, was made by Father ]. J. Cal
lanan after mass at St. Mary's church
in White Bluffs last Sunday.
The local congregation while
painfully surprised by the prospec-
tive loss of spiritual leader and
guide who by his devotion to the
needs of his people, had won their
love and admiration, were, however,
appreciative of the honor. esteem
and merit implied by his promotion
to so responsible charge in an ex-
banded field of endeavor
AS all who have met Father Cal
lanan in more or less intimate
way realize his abilities and accom-
plishments and his engaging person
atty and fitness for large RESPONSE
bilities in his sphere of spiritual ac-
tivity, he takes with him to his new
field of usefulness the undivided
]pve and esteem of his present
parishioners.

SOFT FRUIT IN BlooM

The unusually warm weather of
the past ten days has been forcing
the fruit buds with the result that
the cherries, plums and other early
fruit are in full bloom and the APP
pies will soon be out Handicapped
by more or less wind, the growers
have had a hard time the past two
weeks putting on the dormant spray
before the fruit and leaf buds had
advanced too far. Those orchards
or parts of orchards that have not
been sprayed by the last of this
week will probably have to struggle
along this year without their an.
rual oil or lines sulphur bath as it
is considered dangerous to the buds
to apply either spray after the trees
are advanced as far as they probably
will be by Sunday.
