paticn, with its glamour of tree, of
lighted candles and toys, and the fas-1
cinating story by "mother" of the
angels' visit to the shepherds and
the finding of the "baby." The sweet-1
est story eve:y told!
Here stands man in wonderment of
the incarnation, too deep for the mind
to fathom, the great "mystery" of
Godliness; how Gcd was manifest in
the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen
cf angels, preached to the Gentiles,
believed on in the world, received up
in glory. (I Tim. 3:16). This is the
unparalleled and wonderful event
commemorated at Christmas time and
Luke feives us the fullest and most
beautiful account of it. The shepherds

his creat ancestor King David.
It would seem strange that the

praise to God for his gift to man. The
visit cf these humble folks was never

herdsmen were the first Christian
evangelists, forerunner of the apostles
and a long line of missionaries. Many
heard the story of the shepherds and
wondered. If the incarnation is diffi
cult for us to believe, it was a thous
andfold mere difficult for Mary; yet
she believed it with all the energy of
a pious and a simple heart.
Christmas is above all others the
home festival. The home, as we know
it, is the product of Christianity.
"Children, obey your parents in the
Lord." Obedience is the law of child
hood; it is a great part of a child's
religion, and that is to be practiced
"in the Lord." "Jesus is the head
over all things and is the authority
cf life for boys and girls." (Rev. E.

Farm census headquarters for the
5th census district of Nebraska, have
beer- established at 421 Post Office
Bldg., Lincoln, Nebr., according to
an announcement by Mr. Charles M.
Haller, district census supervisor.
This district includes the coun
ties of Butler, Cass, Fillmore, Gage,
Jefferson, Johnson, Lancaster, Ne
maha, Otoe, Pawnee, Polk, Richard
son, Saunders, Saline, Seward, Thay
er and York.
The actual work of taking the
census is scheduled to begin Jan
uary 2, 1935.
William L. Austin, director, bu
reau of the census, urges all farm
ers and ranchers who have not re
ceived a sample copy of the schedule
to procure one at the earliest pos
sible moment so that they may give
careful study to the questions and
be prepared to give full and accur
ate information when the enumer
ator calls. Copies may be obtained
by writing to your district super
visor. The schedule is divided into eight
basic sections comprised of one hun
dred questions covering practically
every phase of the agricultural indus
try. Of course, every farmer will
not have to answer all of these ques
tions, only those pertaining to his
particular lines of activity. The
questions will cover the calendar
year 1934.
The enumerators will make in
quiry as to farm tenure; farm acre
age; which includes all crop land,
all pasture land and all farm wood
land; the total value of the farm;
acreage and yield of each of the
principal 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 population.
Director Austin has declared that
this is the most significant farm
enumeration since the inception of
agricultural statistics in 1840, and
he earnestly requests the co-operation
sot alk farmers and ranchers to
the end that complete and accurate
statistics may be procured and tab
ulated at the earliest possible mom
ent. The unprecedented destruction
of crops and livestock caused by the
drought and the many changes
which have occurred in farms and
ranches and in the utilization of land
due to the depression of the past
few years make it imperative that
the farm statistics be available as
soon as possible, if agriculture is to
be assisted in going forward with
other industries.
The director desires to call atten
tion to the sectiond of the Fifteenth
Census Act, approved June IS, 1929,
which makes it unlawful for any
person to refuse to answer ques
tions on the census schedule:
"Sec. 9. That it shall be the duty
of all persons over eighteen years
of age when requested by the Di
rector of the Census, or by any super
visor, enumerator, or special agent,
or other employee of the census of
fice, acting under the instructions of
the said director, to answer correct
ly, to the best of their knowledge,
all questions on the census sched
ules applying to themselves and to
the families to which they belong
or are related, and to the farm or
farms of which they or their fam
ilies are the occupants; and any per
son over eighteen j-ears of age who,
under the conditions hereinbefore
stated, shall refuse or willfully neg
lect to answer any of these ques
tions, shall be guiity of a misde
meanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be fined not exeeeling $100 or
be imprisoned not exceeding sixty
days, or both, and any such person
who shall willfully give answers that
are false shall bo fined not exceed
ing $,j00 or be imprisoned not ex
ceeding one year, or both. ..."
