POINTS REGARDING THE CENSUS

The census begins April IS and must be COM
peted in two weeks in cities and in thirty days in
all other areas
The enunerators will wear a badge inscribed
limited States Census, 1910"
The law requires every adult person to furnish
the prescribed information, but also provides that
it shall be treated confdentially SO that injury
can come to any person from answering the
questions.
The President has issued a proclamation,
calling on all citizens to cooperate with the
Census and assuring them that it has nothing to
do with taxation army or jury service, compul-
sorry school attendance, regulation of immigration,
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
complete and correct.
Therefore every person should promptly,
accurately, and completely answer the Census
questions asked by the enumerators.
