GOVERNMENT CENSUS WORK
OPENS JANUARY 2
Enumerators Will Want to Know
Many Things You Consider Pri-
vate and Unnecessary-Don't
Hesitate

Census enumerators commence their
work for Uncle Samuel on Friday, and
are expected to complete their jobs
in only few days, so it will be ne
cessary for everybody to be ready
with their answers and facts. Our
Uncle" makes it imperative for peo-
pie to give all information asked of
them. 1t is probably not generally
understood that the state makes no
census collections now That used to
be done every five years. The federal
census is taken each ten year period.
The Censor, last week, gave a list
of persons appointed to do the work
in Vernon county, except in two or
three instances, where Supervisor Can
non had been unable to secure Compel
ent persons. 1t has been difficult to
induce to accept these places. The
work 81 complex and unpleasant and
pay anything but remunerative. The
enumerators are paid for the number
of beings they count and farms or
business concerns from which they
collect the desired information. The
public, therefore, owes it to them TO
have the matter at their fingertips
when the man or woman representing

his or her appearance; it will not be
treating them fairly to make them sit
down and dig" out the data that you
should have at hand. Be ready to an
swer all questions as to where you
were born and when, all about your
business; what it is, what it costs to
run it, and the figures on the volume
of business. The farmer must tell
the size of his farm, the yield of all
the crops for the year 1919, the value
of the farm improvements, the num-
Der of horses, cattle, chickens, sheep,
hogs, etc. on the farm. He must
have reliable figures on the value of
the feed consumed for the year, as
we'll as the cost of labor employed,
Is the farm his own, and is it mort
gagged, if so, to what amount. The
statistics as TO butter, milk and eggs
produced on the farm should be all
worked out. Go right to this work
one of these long evenings and show
that you have an interest in the cause
of good government. Any informa-
ton given the census taker is held
strictly confidential.

How Word "Booze" ORIGINATED.

In the Pennsylvania museum, Memo
rial hall In Paramount park, Phila-
delphia, can be seen collection Of
highly decorated old bottles, and the
one which attracts most attention Is
the log cabin whisky bottle, nodded In
the shape of q house. On one end Is
the inscription 800 Walnut street,
Philadelphia, together with the date,
which is "184O," on the front Of the
roof On the back is stamped In bold
letters, "E. G. Boozs old cabin
whisky"
This erstwhile vendor of spirituous
liquor is said to be responsible for
the use in America Of the slang ap-
pellation BOOZE" by which all kinds
of Intoxicating drinks are known to-
day. Although some etymologists give
1t as being derived from the Hindu
stani word "booza," meaning to drink,
while others claim it is from the
Dutch "buyzen" to tippIe. The term
was good English In the fourteenth
century.
