As the story of the Liberty Bel! brings to each generation of Ameri cans feelings of gratitude, pride and joy, so will history give to future generutions the story of the signing of the armistice on November 11. 1918. That outburst of joy as re corded throughout the land may nev er be repeated, but as long as time shall last every American on the an niversary of that triumphant day will pay grateful, joyful tribute to the victorious heroes of the Great World War. The American Legion has suggest ed that November 11th be known as Armistice Day and requests that it be set aside as a legal holiday. As Governor of the Stale of Idaho I am glao to comply with this sug gestion and request. Now, therefore, I, I). W. Davis. Governor of the State of Idaho, do hereby designate Tuesday, November 11, 1919, Armistice Day, and pro claim it a holiday throughout the Slate of Idaho, to be observed by tin people in a spiiit of thankfulness and joy and prayer that Divine Provi dence may continue to guide our na tion to righteous victories. In witness whereof, I have here unto set my hand and (used the Great Seal of the State of Idaho to be affixed. Done at Bose, the capital of the State, this 29th day of October. 1919 ( Signed ) D. W.

SCOPE OP THE 14TH CENSUS IS EXTENDED Washington. Nov. 2.—That the Fourteenth Decennial Census, on which the actual enumeration work will begin January 2, 1920, is to be the most impôt tant ever taken is shown by the fact tin t the Act of Congress providing for this census expressly increased the scope of the inquiries so us to include forestry and forest products, two subjects nev er covered specifically by any pre ceding census act. The Inquiries to be made relating to population, manufactures, mines, quarries and agriculture were also ex tended in their scope by Congress, the keenest interest over the forth coming census having been shown by members of the census committees of both the House and Senate while the law was under consideration. The statistics gathered on mining will include all oil and gas wells Many startling developments in this important branch of the nation's re sources are looked for by census of ficials. The figures gathered in Tex as. Oklahoma and Kansas will no doubt prove lo be those most eagerly sought for. ready received by the Cenusu Bureau. The compilation ana gathering of forestry and forest products statis tics will bo in charge of a special force of experts. The accurate and comprehensive figures gathered con cerning this vital nature resource will be much in demand, and the comparisons made with conditions existing before the war will be of great interest. Agricultural statistics will like shown by inquiries al wise be the subject of special effort on the part of the Census Bureau as the Importance of farming is being realized by the average citizen far more than ever before.
