THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAU. MONDAY, DEC. 15, 1919.

The work of compiling : the fourteenth United States census in the

Btxth district will start Pan. 2, according to Jess Stevens, of Liberty, supervisor of census for this congressional district Stevens is not . yet

f -reedy to announce his list of super

visors, but says he will have a corps

of intelligent workers.

During this census, enumerators will be allowed 4 cents a name and 30

cents a farm which they tabulate. This

is . practically twice the amount allowed years ago. President Wilson called the atten

tion of the nation to the fourteenth decennial census in a proclamation issued Saturday. He asked that every effort be put forward to make this the

biggest, best and most complete cen bus of the United States ever taken.

Samuel L. Rogers, national director

of census, has announced . that every

thing is in readiness to begin the can

vassing campaign in January. An . army of more than 87,000 enumerators,

under the direction of 372 census su

pervisors, will be engaged in making the count. The names of every per-

- son in the country will be enumerated together with ages, occupations and birthplaces. Many other questions concerning home, tenure, citizenship, martial t status, literacy, sex, color and race are

, contained in the population schedules. This data will be forwarded to Washington to be preserved in permanent records. Farmers will be asked the questions contained in the agriculture schedule. These will cover farm tenure, farm products, land values, buildings, implements and improvements, field crops, . garden products, farm expenses, live stock, poultry, bees, dairy products, improved and unimproved land, farm

"draining and Irrigation and all other Dhases of agriculture.

Information on farm facilities will be sought to complete records being compiled by the government to show the modern improvements Installed on farms in the last decade. Officials of the cwisus bureau desire to emphasize the fact that the information is for general statistical purposes and such Information can not be used as a basis for taxation. This is pointed out in the president's procla

mation. As a matter of fact, the identity of Individuals is lost as soon as the data is received in Washington. Upon receipt at the national census headquarters, the information will be transferred from the district reports to cards. This is done by a mechanical device and names are discarded entirely. Every person connected

with the taking of the census is pro-j hlbited by Federal law from divulging

any Information given them in the performance of their duties.

The Complete Christmas

Mr. Joy's expansive smile betrayed a self satisfaction unusual even for him. He had given birth to an idea an idea that pleased him mightily. As an experienced husband, ditto father, he kept his own counsel. Also he laid his plans and no one knew anything about them until Christmas morning. Joy was up before even Junior had his peepers open and started it!

Mrs. Joy thought at first it was the Harmony Club come to serenade them. It was a serenade, but not the Harmony club. Bettern that. It was a quartet of famous opera stars singing a medley of Christmas carols. They started with "God Rest Tou Merry Gentlemen", and ended with "The Little Star of Bethlehem".

"What a lovely surprise," said Mrs. Joy, and such a fine selection of records why Jim, you have a wonderful sense for good music." Joy wagged his head proudly, falling to remember that he had "left it all" to . the wise little saleswoman at the musio store. Junior climbed on the Morris chair to watch Dad start each new record and would not be satisfied until .he had played one record all himself. "At last we've got something that will keep that child quiet," said Mrs. Joy. T think it's been the most complete Christmas -we ever had", she told Jim

later when the children were tucked in bed and quiet reigned in the Joy flat. "It's the music that did It." said Joy. "I never realised how much we've been missing by not having some kind of a music-machine especially on Christ-
