The twelfth census of the United
States will be taken this year beginning
June 1st There is queer notion
a1aoung some people that the taking OF

is not So The census is taken for the
benefit of the people themselves, and the
statistics are very useful in deduct1ne
conclusions important to science, indus
try and other great interests 1t Ii
therefore proper that every one shoulC
lend his aid in making the returns full
and accurate.
