revolution that followed, gained such
rapid momentum can be explained as
a general physical and psychical col
lapse of the people. who after four
years of grinding war with the great

limit of its resources.

FRIENDS OF IRISH FREEDOM

On Wednesday evening, October %.
at s o. clock, at the Municipal Theatre,
Mineral Point. Mr. James McHue of
New York City will present Ireland 8
claim to Right of Self Determination.
This is not local, religious, nor ma
tional question. It is world question,
for us an American question. The
Irish people are to-day seeking the
right to live according to the principals
enunciated by our president Wilson, in
which he sounds the death knell of
autocracy and oppression.
It was his inspiring words that set
the world on fire, that called forth our
brave young men and caused the World
War to be brought to a speedy close
At the present time when world affairs
are being adjusted, Ireland feels that
"Her case should be heard She asks
our sympathy as we once asked ber
help when seeking liberation from the
same oppressive power.
A cordial invitation is extended to all
our citizens to come to the Municipal
Building Wednesday evening and hear
Ireland's claim as set forth by Mr. Nc
Hue and local speakers.

Golden Wedding Anniversary

The fiftieth or golden anniversary of
Mr. Calvert Spensley and Miss Clara j.
Cobb occurred on Monday, Oct. 13, but
owing to the fact that the members of
their family were so widely scattered,
no formal celebration of this event was
held. However, Mr. and Mrs Spensley
entertained Mr. and Mrs Charles E.
Gale at an evening dinner On that day.
Mr. Gale was a groomsman and Mrs
Gale bridesmaid at the wedding of
Mr. and Mrs Spensley fifty years ago.
The wedding dinner at that time was
prepared by Catherine Monahan who is
still living in this city and in good
health, and she also prepared the ami
versary dinner on Monday evening.
Mr. and Mrs Spensley received a large
number of congratulations and floral
gifts, which were highly appreciated by
them. In the evening many friends
called to extend congra tulations. Re-
freshments were served. Reminiscent
ces of years ago were recalled and a
jolly time was had by all.

10000 CENSUS ENUMERATORS
WANTED

The Director of the Census, Hon.
Sam. L. Rogers, announces that 80, 900
enumerators will be needed to take the
next census. The work begins on Janu-
ary 2 and will last about two weeks in
cities, and month or more in rural
districts. Rates of pay will vary, de-
pending upon the locality and charac
ter of the district to be canvassed.
The average pay per enumerator at the
census of 1910 was about $40. At the
coming census it will probably be not
less than $i00
ACTIVE, intelligent, and reliable men
and women, not less than 18 years of
age, are needed for this task" said Di-
rector Rogers, land in a sense, this is
of complete and reliable census, es-
pecially in these critical times when
more than ever before perhaps we need
complete data regarding population,
conditions, tendencies, and resources,
can hardly be over emphasized. The
reorganization of the social and eco
nomic structure and the readjustment
of international relations necessitated
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. 1t is hoped, therefore, that
public spirited energetic people thru
out the country will volunteer to act as
census enumerators even though they
may not care for the positions so far. as
the pay is concerned. should be sor-
ry to think. and do not believe, that
all our patriotism was used up by the
War and none left over for public ser
vice in times of peace.
John Moran, Supervisor of the Gen.
sus for the 3rd District of Wisconsin,
which includes the counties of Dane,
Grant, Lafayette Richland and Craw-
ford, states that he will need about 225
enumerators for this district. Applica
tions or request for application forms
should be sent to him on or before Oc-
tober l5. His address is 115 w. Main
St., Madison. Wisconsin.
AS test of their fitness for the work
applicants will be required to fill out
sample schedule and will be duly mott
fed of the time and place for this test.
So far as practicable the place selected
will be one which is easily accessible.
