over. MANY are Aldu.
But often the most
severe weather comes
when we are writing. spring.
The cold weather has worked
haFdships on those who look to
others for food. fuel, shelter
and clothing. The Kings Daugh-
ters have had very busy win
ter and have probably helped as
many as forty families, some OF
them assisted for week after
week. At this time the organ
ization is feeling the need Of
help. too, for the demands made
on the funds in the treasury have
almost depleted them. There Is
still a long stretch OF cold
weather to go before work will
be more plentiful, when some Of
the families can be self-support-
ing again. So food and the rest
will have to be forthcoming for
a while yet. Could some gener-
GUS persons come to the rescue
Of the Kings Daughters with a
substantial check? 1t has not
seemed the right time to give
benefits and card parties to
raise money for the needy, for
those who attend are ones that
are called on again and again
to help with all OF the other
benefits, but the Faithful Circle
may have to resort to that to
give the very necessary help to
those who must have 1t. There
have been written many beauti-
full things concerning charity.
Dickens says Charity begins at
home, and Justice begins next
door" That is now the Kings
Daughters Charity and
Justice for their proteges.

New Ulm Picked as
District 10 Champ

With the state high school basket
ball campaign barely underway dis
trict champions have already been
tentatively selected by a poll con-
Quoted among the coaches of the
various districts.
Among the 32 district champions
of last year, only four are looked
upon as repeaters this year. In the
tenth district New Ulm is doped to
take the title, while Redwood Falls,
the 1888 champion, is dropped into
sixth place below Springfield, which
eked out a one point decision over
the Cardinals at the opening of the
season.
New Ulm's claim to the district
title, however, will be hotly contest
ed by Sleepy Eye which is reported
to have a classy aggregation and
which has swept away handily
everything which so far has come
its way. In their next game, JAN
uary IL, the Cardinals will meet the
Indians here.
Following is the order predicted
for the finish of district ten: New
Ulm, Sleepy Eye, Winthrop, Gay
lord, Springfield, Redwood Falls,
Lamberton and Echo. Whether or
not the coaches are correct in their
prognostications win be known aft
ter the district tournament schedul-
ed to be held March 8 and 9 at New
Ulm.

AS FEDERAL FARM
CENSUS COUNTERS
State Divided Into z Districts
Redwood County In Third;
Olivia Man Supervisor

A federal farm census in Mime
sofa, which is expected to require one
month, was to begin about January 2,
according to an announcement by
Congressman Einar Hoidale.
The state has been divided into
seven districts each under a super
visor and assistants. Redwood county
is included in the third district with
Big Stone, Chippewa, Douglas, Grant,
Kandiyohi, Lac Qui Parle, Lincoln,
Lyon, Murray, Mobiles, Pipestone,
Pope, Renville, Rock, Stevens, Swift,
Traverse and Yellow Medicine coun-
ties. The third district headquarters
are to be established at Willmar, with
Richard S. Freeman of Olivia as sup
ervisor assisted by Theodore 0. Void
of Starbuck. In addition there will be
an office force of about four clerks
and stenographers, while enumera-
tors are to be selected by the super
visor from rural districts.
AS explained by Congressman Hoi-
dale, the census is one of the activi-
ties undertaken by the government
primarily for the benefit Of the farm
er. All farmers are urged to cooper
ate by writing to the Bureau of Gen.
sus, Washington, D. c., for the SAM
pie copy of the schedule, so that the
questions may be studied and answer
ed accurately when the enumerator
calls.

ed from Washington to take charge
as area supervisor, with offices in

CARA directed the industrial census in

1t has been estimated that it will
require about month for the enum-
orators to take the census and be-
tween two and three months more
for the supervisors to tabulate the fig
ures and compile their reports each in
dividual report to be sent direct to
Washington. One enumerator will
cover two townships and will be paid
on basis of fixed sum for each re-
port made. Efforts will be made to
appoint farmers or members Of their
families as enumerators.
