Summer
Homes
Wanted

~ EW ENGLAND'S summer visi-
tors from all over the country
are again seeking the pleasant spots.
They are looking for the well-man-
aged hotels and the pleasantly located
boarding places and farms where
paying guests are received.
Every spring these people turn to
the advertising columns OF the
Boston Evening Transcript, where
announcements of the best summer
places are published.
Though many families prefer to
lease farms, houses, or cottages in
the country, a large number of
properties are sold every year to the
New England States by advertise
mer is in the Boston Transcript.
If you desire to reach the well-to-
do people and attract them to your
town insert a well-worked advertise
ment in the Boston Transcript.
Full information, rates, copies or
advice cheerfully given on request.

The total number of children of

Tort of Census Taker Harry Bickers
in the report turned over to County
Superintendent / E. Young. OF this
number S3S are boys and SS2 are
girls. This is an increase of Il over
last year when the census showed
1853 of which sos were boys and s47
were girls.
Supt. Young has not Vet checked
over the names and this number may
Possibly be reduced a little Fre-
quently Implications occur. that is
the same family will be enumerated
in two different districts.
The number as accredited by the
county superintendent is used as a
basis for apportioning the per capita
tax. Thus the county allows $40 to
the distric. for each pupil enumerated
and the state apportions an amount
varying between $lS0 and $3.50 per
capita.
Employing the customary ratio Of
five. the school census would indicate
that the population of Pendleton is
5000 or better.
