A num- Der of the commissions have been dis tributed and the work of taking the census has started by those receiving the commissions. The work of enum- erating the men at the plant of the American Thread company has started and it is thought that this plant will have it's list in soon.
 The first person to fill out his blank was Mayor Dunn. who was followed by five other prominent citizens. In answering the number of questions on the blank the mayor stated that his age was fifty-seven. his height. five feet five inches and weight 10 pounds. He gave his occupation as a merchant and had one dependent upon him.
 As the blanks, which are filled in. are arriving at the headquarters the committee has sent out a call for more volunteers to come to the rooms of the chamber of commerce and do cler- ica1 work. There is no doubt that the committee will be swamped in an eff fort to check up the lists as they came in and the mayor hopes that a mum Der of patriotic citizens will volunteer their services for this work.
