Points Regarding the Census

The census begins April 15 and must be completed in two weeks in cities and in thirty days in all other areas.
 The enumerators will wear a badge inscribed "United States Census, 191O."
 The law requires every adult per son to furnish the prescribed infor nation, but also provides that it shall be treated confdentially, so that no injury can come to any person from answering the ques- tions. The president has issued a proclamation, calling on all citi- zens to cooperate with the census and assuring them that it has noth- ing to do with taxation, army or jury service, compulsory school at tendance. regulation of immigra- ton, or enforcement of any law, and that no one can be injured by answering the inquiries. It is of the utmost importance that the census of population and agriculture in this state be com plete and correct.
 Therefore every person should promptly, accurately, and com pletely answer the census questions asked by the enumerators.

WHEN JIM CAME HOME
By M. QUAD.

PressJ
Jim Baker was lazy and shiftless as
a young man: He didn't drink, and he
was good tempered. He had the repu-
tation of being truthful and honest,
but everybody said he would die in
the pooThouse. At the age Of twenty
four, to the surprise Of everybody, he
got married. No young woman in his
locality would have looked at him
twice, but one twenty miles away &C
tually fell in love with and married
him. A thousand different times in
after years she tried to explain to her
self and others how it came about,
but she never satisfied any one.
The father Of Jim's wife gave her
thirty acres Of land with cabin on
1t, and the couple went there to exist.
For the first five years Jim was ap-
pealed to, protested at and complained
of for his laziness. Then the hard
working wife realized that it was no
use and gave it up.
Jim Baker read and heard Of the
civil war when it broke out, and he
saw many Of his neighbors enlist and
20 marching away. He had no partic-
ular Interest in war. He was patriot.
but he didn't say much about 1t for
fear he would be asked to swing his
hat and cheer That would have hcen
hard work for him. 1t was only when
the days of the big bounty came that
he sat down under tree for serious
thought. He was thinking when re-
cruiting officer came along and sat
down beside him and said:
81 "Jim, if you want to enlist can get
you 500 bounty money. 1t looks now
as If the war would be over in thirty
days, and Just think Of earning all that
money in a month"
'Ill think 1t over" replied Jim after
4 long time and that evening his wife
noticed that he was looking very seri-
GUS. When she asked If he felt i'll he
answered:
"Num. Say, Bet, I'm thinking Of
going to war"
She smiled at the idea, and he con-
tinued:
II allus thought it was mighty hard
work, but that Teller told me today it
was dead easy. All you've got to do is
to eat and sleep and shoot rebels. You
have niger to cook for you and load
your gun. believe could stand that,
and I'll get 500 for going"
Nothing more was said about the
matter that evening. Next morning
the wife started for the fields, and Jim
started for the village. She missed
him at noon when she returned to the
house, but she didn't worry. When he
came home at shutdown he tossed a
big roll Of greenbacks into her lap and
said,
@I've enlisted for soldier and am
going away tomorrow.
She counted the money over slowly,
:laid it upon the clock shelf and re-
