 We are now asked for a definite Remuneration Return" including the number of adults and children. under 12, in every household The blanks for these returns will be in thc hands of the captains and cam paigners. with the list of pledgors in their districts. and from these much of the desired information can be tabulatcd without further visi- tation.
 This really means a census of Alaska. And 1T thc war continues, every thinking person understands the purpose of this next move. lt is important that the householder knows that a registration is on rec ord of their number And no pains will be spared to see that no one is missed.
 Your chairman feels the burden of Che tremendous issues involved. He is always ready to share this burden by giving new developments of the movement at meetings Of various kinds.
