CALLS FOR HELP IN TAKING
CENSUS OF LYNDEN DISTRICT

The Director Of the Census. Hon.
Sam l.. Rogers. announces that S0.-
OOO enumerators will be needed to
take the next census. The work be-
gins on January and will last about
two weeks in cities, and a month or
more in rural districts. Rates OF
pay will vary depending upon the
locality and character OF the district
to be canvassed. The average pay per
enumerator at the census OF 1910
was about $40. At this coming CEN
sus it will probably be not less than
800.
Active, intelligent, and reliable
men and women, not less than IL
years Of age, are needed for this
task" said Director Rogers, "and, In
a sense, this is a call for volunteers.
The Importance of a complete and re-
liable census, especially in these crit
ical times when more than ever be-
fore perhaps we need complete data
regarding population, conditions, ten
dencies, and resources, can hardly be
over-emphasized. The reorganiza-
ton of the social and economic struc-
ture and the readjustment of inter
national relations necessitated by the
War must be based on accurate
knowledge IL we are to act wisely
and deal justly with all classes and all
interests. 1t is hoped. therefore,
that public-spirited energetic people
throughout the country will volun-
teer to act as census enumerators
even though they may not care for
! the positions SO far as the pay is

sides moult:ng of this overstrain on
the pullets. One of the first signs
is down" birds, or rheumatism or
partial paralysic. This latter trouble
is cured by placing the bird in a
box by a hot stove and giving her a
physic-two !. grain calomel pills
are sufficient. She should also be
kept away from full feed for a few
days until her digestive organs get
back to normal.
Fourteen hours of light is the max
imum which it is safe to use, and
whenever the yield exceeds 60 per
cent it is wise to reduce this amount
of light gradually.
The one outstanding fact demon
strated by artificial lighting is that
the fowls. instead of hiberlating as
in the past during the short winter
days, are now brought directly under
the control of the caretaker. 1t has
made of poultry work far better
and more certain business proposit-
ion. Instead of only 10 per cent of
our poultry raisers being successful,
we predict that a late census would
show that only so per ct. aren't. and
that the unsuccessful ones are not
using modern methods.

LYNDEN MEN URGED TO LOOK
AFTER INSURANCE RIGHTS

The following warning to Lynden
from the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance:
"The Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance wishes to emphasize the import
ance to service men of one OF the
provisions of the War Risk Insurance
Act upon the fulfillment of which
may depend the validity of their
claim to compensation under the Act.
1.-The War Risk Insurance Act pro-
vides that No Compensation shall be
payable for death or disability that
does not occur prior to or within one
year after discharge or resignation
from the service. except that where,
after a medical examination made
pursuant to regulations, ct the time
of discharge or resignation from the
service, or within such reasonable
time thereafter, not exceeding one
year, as may be allowd by regula-
tions, a certificate has been obtained
from the director to the effect that
the injured person at the time OF
his discharge or resignation was suf-
fericg from injury likely to result in
death or disability
MANY discharged men are not
familiar with or are inclined to dis
regard this provision of law and are
allowing their rights hereunder to
lapse.
Request for the certificate men
toned above should be made to the
