'.Chen looking over to- wards the poplar I saw on a bare branch, at the very tip of the tree, a Baltimore Oriole tilling his love song. i don't believe there is any bird so food of high perches as the oriole.

That is if you try to take it all in at once. That way madness lies, Actually it is all very simple if you deal with only a few questions at a time. 1 would earnestly suggest, Mr. and Mrs. Farmer, that you study this forst at your leisure and fill in all the questions you can before the enumerator arrives on the scene. You will thus save a lot of time, And I sprak from experience as 1 was enumerator for our own dis- trict during the last census. Don't attempt to figure out alt the an- swers at 0112 sitting.

TRU1VIPED The police raided a private club where four Wren sat round a table apparently playing polar. They sternly questioned each man. 'You're playing cards in defiance of the law" they told the first of then, "Not oto." he replied. "i just sat down for a talk." "You're playing cards in defiance of the law," they shouted at the second mat, "You've got etc all wrong," he replied, "Pma stranger ]fere" And you're playing cards, loo," they told the third man. "Not nae," he answered. "Pm just waiting for a friend." • The police theft stared at the fourth man, holding card, in iris hands. "Well, anyway'. you're play• ing cards." 111ey exclaimed trium- phantly. "Mc playing cards.:" he said, "With whom?" ISSiJE 22 -- 1951 Housewives Classed. As "Unemployed" "He'll tell you he won't work Saturdays," said the bus driver, "but by the time he does the shop- ping attd the other errands down- town the misses sends him for, lte might as well have gone to worlc." "Yup, that's the catch in the five-day week," his friend replied, "If you aren't working for the boss, the old lady has plenty of things to keep you bttsy." We thought of that when we say the Iowa Employment Secur- ity Commission figure of 84,950 for "non-farm employment" in Polk county this February, and an esti- mated 90,600 for next June. It is regular statistical practice not to count housewives as em- ployed. There are practical statis- tical reasons for this. But economically it doesn't make sense. The simple economic truth is that most housewives are not fully employed themselves, they arc also employers. They are engaged simultaneously in several doyen branches of pro- duction and transportation indus- tries, service trades, and profes- sional service. No task stake great- er demands on intelligence, charac- ter, judgment, spirit or sheer phy- sical vitality. Housewives let out souse of their work on contract, they hire some of it clone by skilled labour, some by unskilled, some by child labour. Some they get done without any cash outlay-, by delegating it to their husband or their children. They are no longer the handi- craft labour they once were, Many of their operations are highly spe- cialized. 11 you totalled the horse- power their operations consumed, it would he no mean figure. . Rut their work is so varied, and so much of it is "custom-tailored" to it particular person or situation, that there is a terrilic amount of hand and arm and back. work left in it. In percentage of mechaniza- tion, as in hours on duty, their taste ranks with the more backward em- ployments recognized by the sta- tisticians. • Yet it dii'fcrs from those sharply in one major respect --the housewife is self-employed. She sets her own tasks, and (toes thein at her, own pate. Some of them still allow tradition and the expectations of their selfish families to drive them to fantastic efforts -but the oppor- tunity to stop, to slot( down, 00 break c'owu, or to blow up is in- herent in the housewife's position. And once she abandons some par- ticular task, the' famiiy finds out soon enough what the value of her services toast So rally 'round, boys, '.)'hose t, tek- end chores are a small price for enlisting ler freely given enterprise. -flea Moines Register.

The one over the door was the largest and the far- thest was known as the "sugaring - MI" kettle, There were a couple of bunks near the roof for the theft who attended to boiling off. I used t0 think it was veli' conveni- ent and comfortable. The crust on the snow was hard enough to hold up the calves that were used to haul the load and we would drive around through the woods, bore a hole in a tree, put in a spite, and set up a trough, or maybe a pan, to catch the sap. We would get back to the house before the snow softened enough so it would not hold the calves, and late at night after it had grown cooler so that the crust would hold again I 'would fasten our old churn to toy calf sled and go out and collect sap front the trees we had tapped in the morning. The sap would be poured into the bits kettle and, if we had enough to be worth while, a fire would be started . , - Whcn they awakened they would fill it up again, and in the morning the sap would be much reduced in quantity. It would take a lot more boiling to make syrup. -From 'Vat,-• key Boyhood," by R. E. Gould. Pottery Miracle when .Lord Gower: table was set in 1765 with a complete dinner service of the new Queen's ware. as Wedgwood called Itis cream colour, it was the subject of conversation among his guests for a long tittle and a landmark in Social anal in- dustrial history. In a surprisingly short time it was .exported to many parts of the world; over a hunderd English and Scottish potteries were staking it; mut in America it became the standard of excellence for pot- ters. '1'he potter who performed this miracle of the substitution of dishes of opaque ereaut-coloured baked clay for those of material- gener- ally regarded as more precious was Josiah \'Vedgwood, who surpassed all potters in modern times in the variety and sustained artislir quality of his productions anti to the num- ber of improvements and inventions.
