hawk county. Supervisor Krapfel is
mailing commissions to the different

office, which they. are required to sub
scribe to. The work of enumerating
will begin on the first day Of June and
the enumerators will have until the
first day Of July to complete their work
and return their bookssto the supervis-
sors. The 1913 enumerators chosen were
selected from more than 500 applica-
5tions which were filed with the super
syisors. In each case the choice was
solely on the merit of the applicant,
shown in filling out test blanks which
We're sent from the supervisors office
1t is q remarkable fact that out of all
the applicants not one succeeded in
securing a perfect record in the tests
given. Many succeeded however. in
reducing the number Of errors to the
minimum and in large number of
cases the mistakes only footed up two
or three to the blank returned. while
in others the errors We're numerous.
The examination consisted in filing
out regular enumeration blank, the
facts being gained from narrative
which accompanied the sheet in each
instance.
