In replying to the census enumera-
tor all questions must beanswered In
accordance with the facts as they ex-
listed June |. Thus if the enumeration
calls on June 5, and the man whom he
interrogates was married on June I,
that man goes down as bachelor,
and his wife as a spinster living at the
home of her parents, or wherever she
lived before marriage. Ii a child
happened to be born on the day pre-
ceding the visit of the enumeratOr, II
that date is subsequent to June l, SO
far as the enumeratOr and United
States government are concerned,
that child doesn't exist. Everything
happening subsequent to June !
doesn't count. and is obliterated en-.
TREY from any reckoning 10 the Gen.
suS. II the enumerator finds that a
man whom he Is looking for died on
June 2, although he may call upon
him on June I, the dead man goes
down as part Of the population just
the same.
