ton that wields so great an influence
In Americanizing the newcomers. The
supervisors in all the districts have
methods of their own of reaching the

plays no small part. Rivalry between
towns causes them to use every en-

to ind you. You are going to
answer a score of questions. and a little
card is going to be made and punched

your kind of a man or woman will be
mechanically counted in all the tables
in which you belong and excluded from
those in which you do not fit. Each

an influence on the final assay in ac-
cordance with what he is.
The time is at hand when you are to
be enumerated. The census man makes
his first sally on Friday next. He ex-
poets to capture 100000 of you on
that day, and a similar number on each
day for two weeks following. At the

For that occasion. that comes TO pass

stars and stripes is about to be forced
TO tell the truth about her age. Every
man is TO be called upon to tell few
vital facts about himself Every child
is to be enumerated that the vital
things that enter into its being may be
added to that quota of information that
will go to make up the completest cen

to be combined in a great mass Of fact
that Uncle Sam may know what are
the conditions that exist in his great
family. He wants TO know where there
are tendencies that are working to the
betterment Of the nation, that these
may be encouraged. He wants to know
where there are driftings toward the
rocks Of individual or national danger.
that steps may be taken TO throw out

Of all his people and their conditions,
that he may know how intelligently TO
keep his house in order.
