fourteen of the principal European coun.
tries are to "count noses," but the census
of The United States. is to be more ex.

The last census cost $11,211,5OO. and
more than 10000 men We're employed in
making it. This census will be ever o
greater effort.
The law requires that the census shall
be ctwee June 1 and June 10.
AS two of these days fall on Sunday,
but thirteen working days are left.
The director of the twelfth census is
William +. Merriam, former Governor
