Several of the enumerators on being interrogated as to whether they ex- perienced any difficulty on the first day, replied in the nsgative. In fact all were pleased with the progress they made. The system of taking the census in each of the sub-distriets, is entirely up to the enumerators and in some cases the easier sections were taken first in order that the experience gained by the work can be used to the best ad- vantage in the harder districts, The men are sworn to secrecy and will not be able to give out spythiog definite concerning their work at its conclusion, making it necessary to wait on the official announcement be- fore the population of the borough as well as other statistics concerning its growth during the last ten years, The indications are that the popu- lation of the borough has increased considerably over ten years ago, while the country districts surrounding Cen- tre Hall, as well as the country die tricts in general have decreased popu- istions. The population of the borough in 1900 was 537, sand io 1500, 441. Potter township in 1809 had a populstion of 1764, and in 1900 a gain of but one, a Pine Grove Mills.

The yield of wheat has steadily grown during the past twenty yesrs as larger areas have been brought under cultivation ; but the country’s population has grown much faster. Moreover the per capila con- sumption of wheat has increased like. wise, It is declared that, while the average American used five and one- half bushels of wheat annually in the five year period ending with 1588, he now consumes almost seven bushels. It is very evident that if the populs- tion of this country continues to ex- pand and there is no appreciable im- provemen! in farming methods, the sathe factors which have raised the cost of meat are likely to operate with respect to the material for bread-—pos- sibly not to the same extent, but al. most assuredly in the same direction.

A dsughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank B, Relish, in Centre Hall, the latter part of last week. By the looks of the amount of busi. ness being done by the implement dealers, farmers haven't used up all thelr checks. J. O. Deininger, one of the oldest residents of Centre Hall from a point of both residence and age, passed his eightieth birthday Bunday. There never were better prospects for a hay crop than there are at pres ent. This is but April 21st, yet clover has already made a wonderful growth, Wheat was quoted at $1 21 last week, bat this was an error—the cents were transposed, the correct quotation be- fog $1.12 There was a further decline this week, the price being $1.10, William Rossman, west of Centre Hall, had a Bell telephone installed in his farm residence. Mr. Rossman is remodeling his dwelling house, and will make a number of improvements during the coming year. Miss Helen Bartholomew, Miss Orpha Gramiey and Charles D.

Mrs, Lucinda Runkle, of Bpring Mills, who daring the latter part of February fell on the ice and fractured her hip, Is improviog somewhat, al- though unable to be out of bed.

It will be an all glass front—no woodwork. The display windows will be fourleen feet deep. Nothing like it in Bellefonte. Mont- gomery & Co. are always just a bit ahead. Harry Keister, who for the past few years has been engaged by C. M.

Wetzel, two acres of bottom land along Elk creek pear Miliheim for the purpose of start- ing » market garden.

When he arrived st the house he found the doors and win- dows barred and was met with the firm declaration that he could vot get in and if he did the woman declared she would shoot him. Nothing daunted the sheriff calmly proceeded to pry the door off ita hinges and then stepped into the house, only to be stunned by a blow from an axe handle energetioally wielded by the pugna- olous Mrs. Green.
