A CALL FOR so,00O CENSUS
 ENUMERATORS NEXT CENSUS

The Director of the Census, Hon. Sam. l.. Rogers, announces that 8O,-
 enumerators will be needed to take the next census The work be- gins on Jenuary 2 and will ;ast about two weeks in cities, and month or mCre in rural districts. Rates of pay will vary depending Lp- on the locality and character of the dis: rict
 sActive, intelligent, and reliable men and women, not less than IS years of age, are needed for this task" said Director Rogers 'and in sense this is a call for volunteers. The importance of a complete and reliable census, especially in these critical times when more than ever before perhaps we need complete data re- garding population, conditions, ten dencies, and resources, can hardly be over emphasized. The reorgani- zation of the social and economic structure and the readjustment of in iernational relations necessita,ed by the war must be based on accurate knowledge if we are to act wisely and deal justly with all classes and all in- terests It is hoped therefore, that the public-spirited energetic people throughout the country will volunteer to act as census enumerators even though they may not care for the positions so far as the pay is concern ed I should be sorry to think, and !! do not believe that all our patriotism was used up by tho war and none left over for public service in times of peace".
 Ray Bernard Leach, supervisor of the Census for the second district of Arizona, which includes the counties of Cochise, Gila, Greenlee, Graham Pima and Santa Cruz and Pinal states that he will need 300 enumerators for this district Applications or re- quests for application forms should be sent to him on or before October 2S. His address is 40 West Con- gress Street, Tucson, Arizona. As a test of their fitness for the work ap- plicants will be required to fill out a sample schedule and will be duly noti- fled of the time and place for this test So far as practicable the place select ed will be one which is easily acces- sible.

SHORTAGE OF SILVER AFFECTS
 WORLD TRADE
World Turns to United States For
 Urgent Need of White Metal, Dis appearance of Silver Coin in France

New York, Oct. 25-Current tran sections in bullion are considered by experts to mark the end of the su- premacy of the London silver market The nominal and official price of sill yer in New York today, based upon London quotations, was $1.1S 1-2 an ounce. Sales were actually made at $L21 and $122 an ounce. Leading hangers state that London bullion prices are coming to be considered the world over as merely nominal. There is no silver in Europe for eX- port to the Orient and it is becoming scarce even in the hands of jewellers Purchasers must turn to New York and California for the white metal.
 The seriousness of the silver shor- tage, which extends all over Europe and America, cannot be oyerestima- ted, according to reliable authorities Private advices from Mexico say that the government has determined upon a recoinage of gold and silver, in or der to prevent the hoarding and pri- vate melting of the precious metal Tn the country It IS reported IHdC one peso, fifty centavo and twenty centavo pieces will be recoined on the basis of the American dollar, two pesos being equal to one dollar.
 Paris, October 24.-The gradual dis appearance cf silver coin from circrl- lation has caused the Minister of Jus tice to circularize his department ordering that traffickers in money must be prosecuted with the full force of the law.
 The Minister of Finance today as sued a warning to travellers that they would not be permitted to take out of the country more than a thousand francs worth of French or foreign pa per money, and ten francs worth of silver.

SCHOOL NEWS
 AND NOTES
NIGHT SCHOOL OPENS s'- AT CHASE CREEK
Opportunity For Non English Speak
 ing to Learn English

Night classes for the non-English Creek last week under the direction of Miss Lilies, principal at Chase Creek and Miss Priest The school executives have set aside reasonable sum to defray the expenses of con- ducting these classes during the com ing winter.
 It is desired that large number of non-English speaking residents of Clifton, who desire to acquire know ledge of the English language and history of the United States will avail themselves of this opportunity. Ev- cry one is urged to circulate and ex- plain this announcement among the n0n-En nelish speaking residents, giv- iEg as much publicity as possible
 If the plans materialize there shall be at least three classes, an advanced and intermediate class of those who made such satisfactory progress last winter and class of beginners.
 This movement has State and Fed eral cooperation and one that is be- ing promoted vigorously in all parts Of the United States.
 Classes meet on Monday and Thursday nights from 7:30 to 9:30 at the Chase Creek School.
 The next number of the Redpath Lyceum Entertainments will occur November 13 and will consist of a demonstration of modern scientific discoveries by Montraville M. Wood, a scientist and inventor and formerly an associate of Thomas Edison.
 His demonstrations of the gyro- scope and it's application to the aero plane the mono-rail car and the sub marine torpedo are unique and fas- cinating. His revelation of the ultra violet ray and other scientific won- ders can not fail to interest and en- certain.
 Until after this second number sea son tickets will be sold at the same rate enjoyed by those buying at first, That is, the balance of the ticket, good for the remaining four enter tainments, will be sold to adults for $20O and to school children for 100.
 The school management hopes that the public will give its support to this enterprise of providing several high class entertainments at a nominal price.
