transacted business with our
merchants.
Most of our advertisers are
taking a rest this week , but
business continues to go on. The
only time to stop advertising is
when you quit business.
Considerable space this week
is given to the publication of the

enumerators' Test Easy.
Washington , D. C. , Dec. 27 , 1909.
Any person of good judgment ,
who has received an ordinary
common school education , can
readily and easily pass the test
to be given applicants for Census
enumerators' places on Saturday
February 5th , the date finally set
for U. S. Census Director Durand ,
according to an announcement
from the Census Bureau to-day.
This will be a comforting assur
ance to the several hundred
thousand who are believed to be
contemplating application for
the places.
It was emphatically stated at
the bureau that the test will be
an eminently reasonable and prac
tical one , similar to that applied
tn applicants at the Twclvcth
Census. It will consist of filling
out a sample schedule of popula
tion from a description , in narra
tive form , of typical families , and
in the case of enumerators whose
work will be in the rural dis
tricts , they will be called upon
to fill out an additional sample
schedule of agriculture , from
information furnished by the Cen
sus Bureau.
All persons , whether women or
men , who may desire to become
Census enumerators must be cit-
zens of the United States ; resi
dents of the supervisor's dis
trict for which they wish to be
appointed ; must not be less than
18 nor more than 70 years of age ;
must be physically able to do the
work ; must be.trustworthy , hon
est and of good habits ; must
have at least an ordinary educa
tion and must be able to write
plainly and with reasonable rap
idity.
Those who can comply with
these requirements arc invited to
put in their applications , as there
will be at least 68,000 enumera-
Jors' places to befilled by the mid
dle of March in preparation for
the enumeration beginning April
15th ,
Application forms , with full
instructions for filling-in , and
complete information concerning
he test and the method of ap-
lointment , can be secured by
writing to the supervisor of cen
sus for the supervisor's district
u which the applicant lives.
All applications properly filled-in
must be filed with the supervis
ors not later than January 25th
es any received after that date
cannot be considered.
Further information may be ob-
ained by addressing Jos. Pigrnan ,
Supervisor of Census , Broken Bow
Nebraska.
The New York Clipper has the
following to say of a former
Broken Bow boy , Jack Benjimin :
This company closed a season
of forty-seven weeks on Saturday
night , Dec. 18. The first forty
weeks the company played it had
only two losing weeks , one due
to weather conditions and the
other well , we just didn't make
a hit. Out of the last seven
weeks hardly one paid expenses
so we are inclined to believe it is
not a good season. On the whole
the season has netted he manager
a nice little fortune , and his suc
cess is . .largely due to an cxcep
tionally clever company of men
and women , who never tired in
their efforts to please. We have
had but one change in the eas
since organizing and not a re
hearsal in thirty weeks. The
company is as follows : Ed Beach
Fred Frink , Ralph Griffin , Gco
Havlin , Jim Welsh , Winsor Mun
nell , Frankic Elliott , May Shan
non , Dot Karroll and Jack Ben
jauiin , owner and manager. .
Mr. Benjamin and most of his
company will spend Christmas al
their homes , opening again aboul
the first of the year.
Will Slart the New Year Right ,
Last Thursday evening a very
pretty wedding took place at the
home of the bride's parents , Mr.
and Mrs. Joshuo Sheffield south
of town.
The parties moat concerned at
this gathering were Mr. Earl
Hammond and Miss Corda Shef
field both of Custcr county. i
The groom is an energetic
young farmer well and favorably
known in this community.
The bride is a young lady of
many accomplishments , having
taught school in this county sev
eral terms.
The wedding was solcuiized
with the ring ceremony by the
pastor of the Broken Bow Baptist
church in the presence of about
thirty guests.
After the cermony all were
seated around a table ladencd
with the many products of Custcr
county.
Sunday School Revival. J
The Revival in the Sunday
School is on at the U. B. church
and the school has begun to grow1
in enthusiasm and numbers and
they arc looking forward to many
new members.
Prof. fcDietrick's talk Monday
night opened up the way in
which the Sunday school will
endeavor to enroll all the members
of the church in Bible study and
the committees have been chosen
and the contest will prove inter
esting to the workers as well as
to those who arc brought into
the school as new members.
"The Organized Bible Class
and its Activities , " "The Trained
Work" will be interesting subjects
to members of other schools and
those who do not attend as well
as the U. B. people , and all are
invited to attend. All will be
interested in the poems that will
be quoted from time to time.
Sunday will be the last day , and
the climax of the Sunday School
revival meeting. A big iron's
meeting will be held at o'clock
Sunday afternoon. On next
Tuesday night the regular evan
gelistic service will begin with
Rev.Cikc in charge.
On Monday night next week
Prof. Dietrick will give a lecture-
recital entitled the "Age of
Man" illustrated with recita
tions from our best authors. This
.
lood to old age and then his
reflections on life. It is lull of
wit and humor and good eolid
cnse.

Broken Bow people who were
fortunate enough to be present
at the opera house Tuesday night
enjoyed a rare treat. The bill

the people satisfactory entertain
ment and they certainly did
themselves proud when they
billed this attraction. The bill
for tomorrow ( Friday ) night is
] li and Jane , a funny show , and
if you go , and don't l&iigh , the
doorkeeper will hand your money
back together wi.th a prescription
guaranteed to cure the grouch.
