CENSUS COMPLETED IN
BEM|DJrS FOURTH WARD
Every Person in Bemidji Owes a Duty
To the City to See That He or
She Is Counted.

The first ward has been thoroughly
covered BY census enumerator, D.
G. Smyth. He states that every
nook and corner and every building
in which human beings can live
has been visited by him. He be-
lieves, however, that there are some
who have been overlooked.
Anyone can understand how hard
it is for the enumerators to locate
such persons who have not been
counted. Here is what must be done.
Every man. woman and child who
has not been listed on this census
count should report to the enumera-
tor in their respective ward.
Now stop! think! you, Mr.. Citizen,
have you been counted? Is your
name on the federal census books?
It's up to you and not the enumer-
ator to see that you are on. For
your convenience, if you are one who
has been overlooked, you may tele.
phone to your enumeration or to the
Pioneer Office and the proper person
will call upon you or make an
appointment with you. Bear in
mind that the census books will be
closed Sunday night, May IS. The
enumerators in the city are:
D. c. Smyth, first ward.
John L. Brown, second ward. >.
P. M. Dicaire, third ward.
A. G.. Rutledge, fouth ward.
Each of these gentlemen can be
reached by phone.

BY THE WAY

The reason that things 20 in the
one ear of some people and out of the
other is that their brains offer no
resistance.
When you don't know anything,
keep your knowledge to your self.
Its good ad. indeed, that doesn't
need retouching.
1t takes pushing man to pull
the business.

Little Rock, June 21.-With the filing of the statement of tho Iron Mountain Railroad this aft ernoon with the State Tax Com mission there remains but ono large line still unreported, the Cotton Belt, and it's report is ex. pected to come in without delay Nearly all the short roads filed their statements early in the month.
 The State Tax Commission will probably take the month of July to pass on these statements. For the present they are being filed away for reference later.
 Two members of the commis sion are out visiting the assess. ors, Commissioners Gates and Burge. Many requests have come to the office asking that the commissioners visit this or that county assessor during his work and make whatever suggestions appear to be pertinent
 The new assessment blanks requiring the more carefully de- tailed statements as to personal property are said to be meeting with favor.
