Supervisor.
Census Supervisor Dresser, whose
office is at Centuria, has received
from the Census Bureau supply of
blank applications for persons ap-
plying for positions as census enum-
orators. These will be forwarded
to his list of applicants as soon as
possible.
The applications, properly filled
out, must be returned to the Super
visor not later than January 81, the
Census Director having extended
the time for filing from January rs,
which was the date first set for clos
ing the consideration of applica-
tions. The test" will occur Feb
ruary S, as previously announced.
The instructions printed on the
application form state that definite
answer is required to each of the
questions, which are:

States? If naturalized citizen, when
and where we're you naturalized?

census work, either national or
state? If so, in what capacity and

ish, Yiddish, etc.

committee of any party? (Answer
Yes or No. but not indicate what

In view of the fact that you may
be required to take a test before a
postmaster, state what post-office
would be most convenient to you
for this purpose. (This test is of a
practical character, consisting
chiefly or wholly of the filling out
of sample schedule of population
from information furnished regard
ing typical families, and, in the
case of enumerators whose work
will be in rural districts, the filling
out of a sample schedule of agri-
culture.)
Are the answers to each of the
foregoing questions true to the best
of your knowledge and belief? Are
they in your own handwriting?"
Endorsements of each applicant
must be secured from two repre-
sentative citizens of the community
in which the applicant resides.
They must be at least q years of
age and acquainted with the appli-
cant not less than one year In
dorsements will not be accepted
from any person who is in any way
related to an applicant. The in
dorsement certifies that the appli-
cant lis a thoroughly trustw orthy
and honest person of good habits,
and, in my opinion, is fully capable
of 6ischarging the duties of a CEN
sus enumeration, if appointed.
