A most successful program was con-
cluded by a comedy drama 10 two acts
entitled Rock Allen, the Orphan"
The different characters we're taken by
members Of the seripr e -, and each
and every one appeared with the grace
and dignity that might cause much older

Special mention is made of Merrill
Fuller in the part Of the old man. He
proved himself more than an amateur,
as not one in ten OF the professionals
could, even in the gait, outdistance Mer-
ril.
Ruth Snow, as the old lady, was
equally as good. She certainly looked
and acted her part as fault finding,
busy old lady true TO life.
We mention these two parts, as they
are always hard to fill and it is quite
unusual to have them so we'll played as
they we're in "Rock Allen" The whole
entertainment was success and was
highly enjoyed by all, thanks to the
teachers and pupils.

considerable attention in the circuit

four hours deliberation with verdict of
$4,000 for plaintiff.
Mrs. Campbell will be remembered
as the party who was examined some
time ago as to her sanity and was later
arrested on the charge Of arson, but re-

the charge.

the week is as follows:
Emory Graves, highway commissioner

CENSUS TAKING
BEGINS TODAY
Army of 10000 Enumer-
ators TO Count Uncle
Sans Children.
NINETY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
Is Estimate of Entire Population oi
United States Today. Last
Census Showed 7o,000,OOO.

This morning Uncle Sam begar the
numbering of his children IN prepara'
ton for the 18th census. At day break
this morning 10000 interroga ors, men
and women, white and colored, were
turned loose in pursuit of the people OF
the United States.
The enumeration will cover ali of the
40 states and two territories of the union
proper and also Hawaii and Porto Rico.
Alaska, the Philippine Islands and Guam
Will not be included, as special arrange
ments are made for numbering the peo-
pie of those dependencies.
Under the statute governing the work
the entire enumeration must be com-
pleted in 30 days, and in the cities the
work is limited TO ID days. 1t IS proba-
BILE, however, that the exact population
of the entire country will not be detin-
itely determined until some time In
September. Director Durand OF the
census bureau confidently expects that
the official figures will show a total popu-
lation of upwards of 90,U00,000 people.
The last census in 1900 gave approXi-
mately 76,0O0,0O0, and judging from the
rate of increase in the past the above
figures will probably not be far out of
the way.
The mere getting of this vast amount
of information will cost the government
about S5,500,000. OF this sum 81 800, 600
will be paid to enumerators and the re-
naming million to super ysors of the
census. With few exceptions the
enumerators will be paid on the basis OF
work done. A stated price for each
farm and each name.
There will be in all about 800 women
enumerators. In point of numbers New
York state leads the list with $500, and
Nevada will close the procession with
but Sc.
rhe results of the Iabors of this army
of people will be published in y or 10

ton of matter for the printer will be
done in Washington under the direction
of Mr.. Durand.
The Paw Paw enumerators, as pre-
viously announced are Arthur Hutchius

the country. They will work under the
direction and supervision of Supervisor
G. r. Dawson of Allegan.
