The Short Course Plans
So much has been said about this
Short Course and Farmers’ Institute
work that it almost seems unnecessary
to further mention the matter. How-
ever it is a matter of so much im-
portance to our farmers that it very
desirable to fully impress them with
; the value of this work and thus se-
cure their co-operation in making it a
success. Tho work heeds no intro-
duction to the progressive farmer and
he is the one who is in the front ranks
: boosting it on to success.
Mr. Huulinan, who willhave charge
of the work, lias his plans all made
and will use his best efforts to do his
part and with your co-operation the
success of the work is assured. In
speaking about the matter Mr. Haul-
man says:
“This meeting needs no introduction
to the farmer. We all know the wave
of agricultural meetings going all
over the United States. You will
never have a better opportunity, to
get an ideaof what this work Oonsis's.
Bring the boys and spend a little time
time with us. If wo can’t tell you
anything good or new, we would like
to hear from you on these subjects.
| This is a mutual work and everybody
has a voice. If you don’t want to
enter class work, just come as a visit-
or and you will be welcomed. The
Commercial Club is doing a good
work and the farmer should turn out
in large numbers and make this meet-
ing a success. It won’t cost you any
money, so you won’t get the worst of
it. If you take the corn work bring
5 ears of corn with you white or yel-
\ low. If you take the stock judging
bring a good animal along to work on
and show what you have. We want
to see lots of good stock. Come.”
The Press wishes to emphasizes
all that Mr. Haulman sc vs. The good
which willbe accompli 1 •! willbe of
inestimable value to ca.

Low Rates to Presho.
Warren Young, chairman ef the
Executive Committee of [he State
Federation of Commercial Clubs, has
been assured that a rate of one and
one-third fare tor the round trip will
lie granted for the Annual Convention
which is to be held at Presho on Jan.
11th and 12th, 1910. Those attending
should ask for a certificate when they
buy their ticket to Presho, and this
certificate will enable them to get
their return ticket for one-third the
regular fare.. The State Board of
Railway Commissioners willmeet at
Presho at the same time and willbe
ready to consider any question which
may be brought before them by the
State Federation of Commercial Clubs.

large and enthusiastic meeting.

Any person of good judgment, who
lias received an ordinary common
school education, can readily and
easily pass the test to be given ap-
plicants for census enumerators’
places on Saturday Feb. 6th, the date
finally set by U. 8. Census Director j
Durand, according to an announce- ¦
ment. from the Census Bureau today.
This willbe a comforting assurance
to the several hundred thaiiHand who
are believed to be contemplating ap-
plication for the places.
It was emphatically stated at the
bureau that the test willbe and em-
inently reasonable and practical one,
similar to that applied to applicants
at the Twelfth Census. It willcon-
sist of filling-out a sample schedule of
population from a description, in nar-
rative form, of typical families; and,
in the case of enumerators whose
work will lie in the rural districts,
they will be called upon to fillout an
additional sample schedule of agri-
culture, from fnformution furnished
by the Census Bureau.
All persons, wether women or men,
who nnj dosire to become Census
enumerators must bo citizens of the
United States; residents of the super-
visor’s district for which they wish
to be appointed; must be not less
than 18 nor more that 70 years of age;
must be physically able to do work;
must be trustworthy, honest and of
good hahias; must have at least an
ordinary education and must be able
to write plainly and with reasonable
rapidity.
Those who can comply with those
requirments are invited to putin their
applications, as there willbe at least
08,000 enumerators’ places to be filled
by the middle of March in prepara-
tion for the enumeration beginning
April 15th.
Application forms, with fullinstruc-
tions for filling-in, and complete in-
formation concerning the test and
method of appointment, can be se-
cured by writing to the supervisor of
census for the supervisor’s district in
which the applicant lives. AU appli-
cations, properly ftlled-in mist fJV*
filed with the supervisors not later
than January 25th as any received
after that date cannot be considered.

erators during the Thirteenth Decen-
nial United States Census. April 15

Interior Merchant Married at Gordon
A quiet and unostentatious wedding
took place at the M. K. parsonage last
Wednesday p. m. when Rev. Johnson
united intfie holy bonds of matrimony
George L. Johnson of Interior, S. D.,
and Miss Jennie Cyntha Scott of Gor-
don. Mr. Johnson is a prosperous
merchant and ranchman of interior
and the bride an estimable lady, who
has made her home for som« time
with her brother-in-law, Mr. Sam
Moore, twelve miles north of Gordon.
Mr. Jonnson started on the matrimon-
ial road in the right direction by set-
ting his subscription to the Journal a
year ahead. The happy couple left
on No. 7 for Chadron where they will
visit a few days on their way home
to Interior. May joy and prosperity
be theirs is the wish of the Journal. —
Gordon Journal.
The preparation of the population
schedule engaged for the past few
months the joint consideration of As-
sistant Director Willoughby, Mr. Wil-
liam C. Hunt, the United States cen-
sus chief statistician for population,
and Prof. William B. Bailey, the Yale
instructor in political economy, a
prominent member of the Census
Bureau advisory board of statistic-
ians etc., who later was cohamissioned
supervisor of census for tho state of
Connecticut.
The Kadoka Commercial Club have
elected delegates to attend this meet-
ing as follows: J. H. Fryberger, F.F.
Reidinger and A. C. Zemanek. There
are also, a number of other members
of the Club who will attend.
The schedule has been approved
by Census Director Durand, and in its
final form willbe 16 by 23 inches in
size printed front and back, with 50
lines on each side, one for each per-
son enumerated. The government-
printing office will print 1,800,000
copies, so as to give each ot the 330
supervisors of census an amply sup-
ply to meet all the needs of about
67,000 enumerators who willenumer-
ate the population in April next.
The paper on which the schedules
willbe run off will be first quality
white writing, 23 by 32 inches, 64
pounds to the ream, the total weight
being 230,400 pounds. The entire
edition will be printed on a web press
which willprint two of the schedules
face and back, each revolution, at
the rate of 9,000 an hour. It willtake
about six and a half days for the press
to print 1,800,000, running sixteen
hours a day.
MORE CONVENIENT FORM.
Tha schedule paper is very heavy
and willstand a great deal of hand-
ling. The forms of the schedule is
more convenient than that used ten
Years ago, aud the two pages are so
spaced thit when the scbedtfle Is

t he ratchet wheel automatically moves
the schedule up one line, and ail the
operator has to do is to operate the

the population statistics 122.000,000
manila cards has been ordered for
the card-punching machine.
Tho thirty-two questions are class-
ified under thirteen groups.
The first is Location, and under this
head the enumerator must write down

house number in city or town; and

merical order of the enumerator’s

Rnmared “Still Hunt” For County
Division.
It is rumored that the representa-
tive men of Philip are laying plans
for a division of this county in two
' parts with Philip as the prospective
1 county seat of the new county pro-
posed or present western half of Stan-
ley county. This is upon the same
lines as proposed two years ago and
only given up when Philip found that
the northern and western half of
Stanley county which is the greater
tax paying and better part of the pro-
posed county would not stand for a
! ‘‘twodivision” not desiring to be an-
nexed to Philip and help build up
another county seat octopus. There
is no objection to county division if
upon the right lines, equitable and
fair to all. That Philip desires to be
a county seat is alright, the people
of this end of Stanley county while
wishing Philip all success do not wieh
tto be on their band wagon, not be-
cause of any feeling against Philip,
j but that if there be a county division
;it should be at least in three parts,
and that situated west of range 24
and north of the Deadwood trail
should be a county by itself. If or
when division of comes, by all means
' have same upon permanent lines.
Should a two county division be made
now it would only result in another
fight for re-division later, with a
harder struggle to get away and in
the meantime the tax payers of this
' section would have been paying for
. building up another county seat, hav-
ing the same cause for complaint as
is heard throughout Stanley county
at this writing. Conditions existing
being most unsatisfactory. It is im-
portant that all in this northwestern
part of Stanley be on the watch that
no plans be sprung at the last mo-
ment or railroaded through as rumor
proposes, whereby a two division can
be made. It should be three counties
or no division, no less.—Marietta
Eagle. •*
