FARMERS URGED TO PROCURE
CENSUS SCHEDULE

United States census enumerators
will visit every farm and ranch in
the Nation during January, 1885,
to take the mid-decennial Census Of
Agriculture They will make in
quiry as to farm ownership, farm
acreage, which includes all crop
land; all pasture land and all farm
woodland the total value of the
farm; acreage and yield Of the prin-
cipal field crops and vegetables; the
number of trees and yield of the
principal fruits and nuts; number
and value of each class of livestock,
poultry and eggs, and farm popu-
lation.
William l.. Austin, Director, Blu
reau of the Census, Department of
Commerce, has declared that this is
the most significant farm enumera-
ton since the inception of farm
statistics in 1910 and he earnestly
requests the cooperation of all farm
plete and accurate statistics may be
procured and tabulated at the earli-
est possible moment. The unpre-
cedented destruction of crops and
livestock caused by The drought and
the many changes that have occurred
in the utilization of land due to the
depression make it imperative that
the farm statistics be available as
soon as possible, if agriculture is to
be assisted in going head with
other industries.
Farmers and ranchers can CO.
operate by writing Immediately to
the Bureau of the Census, Washing
ton, D. c., for sample copy of the
schedule and prepare themselves to
give accurate answers to the ques-
lions when the enumerator calls in
January.

BETTER LEGAL PROCEDURE

The American Bar Association is
carrying out an educational program
directed both to lawyers and to the
general public. The points included
are Enforcement of professional
ethics; Criminal law and it's enforce
ment; Legal education and admis
sion to the bar; unauthorized prac-
tice of the law; Selection of judges.
AS a start, the Association sent let
tiers, pamphlets, questionnaires and
informative releases to the 1,400
bar associations of the country, ex-
planning the scope and purposes of
the campaign. This was followed
by radio program, designed to give
the public knowledge of the work.
The program has been on the air
each Saturday night.
The Association believes that the
public, at the moment, is particular
ly receptive to proposals for reforms
in criminal law. and this phase of
the project has been emphasized.

LARGE COMPANY PROVIDES OLD
AGE INSURANCE

c.. M. Chester, President of the
General Foods Corporation, a nation
wide organization, recently announc-
ed a plan whereby assurance of old
age retirement income is given to all
employees. The project is especially
important in the light of the growing
question of providing such security
for workers in all industries.
Contributions to the fund will be
made both by the company and en-
ployes until retirement age-60 for
women, IS for mems reached.
The company will pay more than
half of the total cost of the plan. 1t
is also provided that an employe,
with the company's consent, may re-
tire and receive reduced rate of in
come at any time within ten years
of the customary retirement age.
Here is the way the plan will work
in the case of an employe 80 years
old, who earns $35 week. He will
contribute $1.84 forty-eight times a
year, and his payments will be
matched by the company. If he re-
mains in the same classification until
age 65, his retirement income will
be $112 monthly. Payments and
income will, of course, vary, depend
ing upon length of service and earn
ings previous to retirement.
Should the employee die before re-
ceiving all the contributions made by
him and the company, the balance
goes to his beneficiary, either in a
lump sum or monthly payments.

GOVERNMENT PUTS VALUE ON
CCC WORK

breaks.
Reduced fire hazards over 825, sos

Tel. No. Adds SGD
To Letter Value

John HOWE Wright, author and edi-
tor, marks down" the value of BUSH
ness letterhead FIVE per cent. if it does
not carry the firms telephone number.
Mr.. Wright is specialist in direct
mail advertising.
A complete letterhead, in the opinion
of Mr.. Wright, should answer three
questions: Who? Whatf Where7
The name of the firm answers the first
question, the business of the firm
answers the second, while the address
of the firm is the third. In the opinion
of Mr.. Wright, the telephone number
is a ,art of the address.
Says the well-known editor: "The
purpose Of a business letterhead is to
help business. If prospect or GUS
toner of yours receives letter from
you and wishes to Immediately get in
touch with you by telephone, you
should make it easy for him to do so.
If prospect or customer of yours is
in hurry for some stationery and
wishes to send messenger to your
place of business, it should not be
necessary for him to look up the adj
dress. If you want to do business with
me and want to use your letterhead as
on, of the mediums of telling me about
your business, please do not put me to
any unnecessary trouble"

BUDGET YOUR RESOURCES

If you have not had an audit made
recently of your physical assets and
liabilities, go to your doctor at The
beginning of the New Year, and have
it done, is the advice of DR.. r. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, to grown ups in
Maryland, along with his New Year
greetings, with wishes for health and
happiness for young and old in the
State. in 1895.
at is quite as important" Dr..
Riley said, ito check up on your
physical resources as it is to look
into the state of your financial pos
sessions. BY regular care under your
doctors direction, you can conserve
Your physical assets and can avoid
the accumulation of destructive
liabilities.
Each of us starts with certain
amount of physical capital. Merely
as a personal business proposition,
it is worth while to conserve it to
the best of our ability. In infancy
and in childhood, our physical re-
sources, as rule are safeguarded
for us. AS we grow older, the re-
sponsibility for doing so rests 20 a
large extent upon the individual.
The critical period for many comes
in middle life with the sudden sharp
realization that the physical capital
is yielding diminishing returns in
the way of physical well-being.
1.-THE records of health depart
ments and of insurance companies
show that from ten to fifteen years
have been added to the average
length of life, or, to what the statis-
ticians speak of, as the expectancy
of life. But the same records let us
see that large part of the deaths
reported every year, are due to what
are known as the degenerative dis
eases of middle age-heart disease,
OCnGr diseases VI CuS ClTCuldIOIy oyo-
tenn, diseases of the kidneys, cancer,
diabetes and other ailments. Over
half of the deaths that occur in
Maryland, every year, are charged
to these causes.
Nearly all of these diseases have
slow beginnings, and their onset can
often be recognized, in the course of
thorough physical examination, be-
fore they have gained serious head
way. In the majority, early detec=
ton of the menacing conditions with
readjustment of physical expendi-
lures and a better budgeting of ac-
tivities under the doctors direction,
will help TO shift the balance from
the unfavorable to the favorable
side of the ledger.
LET your doctor be your auditor.
Then budget your resources as he
directs"
