hog the tariff for New England.

CENSUS ENUMERAT0RS
ARE NOW BUSY

The census began April Is and
must be completed in thirty days.
The enumerators will wear a
badge inscribed United States
Census, 1907
The law requires every adult per-
son to furnish the prescribed infor-
nation, but also provides that it
shall be treated confidentially, so
that no injury can come to any per-
son from answering the questions.
The Census Bureau, prior to
April Is, will distribute to every
farm owner and tenant in this state
blank or schedule containing the
Census questions relative to farm
operations and equipment. This
should be filled up, if possible, not
later than the morning of April Is,
but if anyone has been unable to
fill it up. by that time, he should do
it as soon afterwards as he can.
Peopleawho do not speak English
or who do not understand the sched-
ule completely should get help from
others, if possible, in filling it up.
The President has issued a pro-
clamation, calling on all citizens to
cooperate with the Census and as
surfing them that it has nothing to
do with taxation, army or jury SER
vice, compulsory school attendance,
regulation of immigration, or en-
forcement Of any law, and that not
one can be injured by answering
the inquiries.
