Figures Sometimes Lie.

Two clerks in the census Office al
Washington made the same mistake
when calculating separately the cent

States, and it is now officially an
nounced to be in Bloomington, Ind.
instead of near Unionville, eight
miles east of Bloomington. 1t will
require exact measurements to de-
