CALL FOR 10000 CENSUS
ENuMERATORS

The Director of Census, Hon. Sam.
=. Rogers, announces that $4,000 en-
umerators will be needed to take the
next census. The work begins on
January 2 and will last about two
weeks in cities and month or more
In rural districts. Rates of pay will
vary, depending upon the locality and
character of the district to be can
vassed. The average pay per enum-
orator at the census of 1910 was
about $40. At this coming census it
will probably be not less than $100I
"Active, intelligent and reliable
men and women are needed for the
task" said Director Rogers, "and, I'M
a sense, this is call for volunteers4
The Importance of a complete and
reliable census, especially in these
critical times when more than ever
before perhaps we need complete1
data regarding population, conditions
and resources, can hardly be over
emphasized. The organization Of
school and other economic 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 just
ly with all classes and all interests
1t is hoped, therefore, that public
spirited energetic people throughout
the country will volunteer to act rs
census enumerators even though they
may not care for the position so far
as the pay is concerned. l should be
sorry to think, and I do not believe,
that all our patriotism was used up
by the war and none left over for
public service in time of peace"
William E. McEwen, Supervisor of
the Census for the Eighth District
of Minnesota, which includes the
counties, of Carlton, Cook, Itasca
Koochiching, Lake and St. Louis,
states that he will need about 213
enumerators for this district. Appli-
cations or requests for application
forms should be sent to him on or
before October IS. His address is
Room GA Manhattan Bldg, Duluth,
MINI.
AS test Of their fitness for the
work applicants will be required to
fill out sample schedule and will be
duly notified of the time and place
for the test. So far as practicable
the place selected will be one which
is easily accessible.
Examinations will be held in Grand
Marais on November 1st. See the
Postmaster for further particulars.

LABOR UNIONS ON. TRIAL F:I

y The Republican Publicity Associa-
tion, through its president, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., has given out
the following statement from it's
Washington headquarters:
"The labor union has it's proper
place in the economic world, but if
it is to be made more of a menace
than a help, it will have to go. If it
is to be made an agency for the in
timidation of men who desire to work
at legitimate occupations, it is an
obstruction to progress. If it is to
serve as an agency for violence
against men who undertake useful
employment, it is breeder of crime.
Ii it is to be used as an agency for
Intimidation of public officials, either
legislative or executive, it is an enc
my of good government.
"The labor unions will be tried,
not in court, but at the bar of pub
lie opinion. They will be judged, not
by their pretensions, but by their
performances. Judgment will be
passed upon them, not by sense of
justice.
whenever the people of this coun-
try conclude that labor unions are
a menace to public welfare, they will
refuse to buy goods made in a. union
shop or bearing the union label. This
should be clearly understood by labor
union leaders, and they should govern
themselves accordingly. The labor
union can live just as long as the
people of the country want it to live
and no longer

ROOSEVELT DOES 1T
while OTHERS TALK

Since the death of Colonel Roose-
velt, old-timers i'm Washington have
been recalling many Incidents Illus
trative of the tremendous vitality of
the man and his determination to
get things accomplished. One. Of
these incidents was narrated with
much appreciation by a Congressman
who didn't appreciate it so much
when it occurred. 1t ran as follows:
The Government was cooperating
with the rail roads in the project for
a new union station. The site of the
old station had been purchased, and it
was purposed to raze the buildings.
But Congress had been held late in
special session so it was decided to
postpone the letting of bids until
Congress re-assembled. This duty
naturally devolved on the Committee
on the District of Columbia. Mean
time major of engineers was placed
in charge as custodian.
When the committee had it's first
meeting at the next session of Con-
gress, the matter of letting contracts
for the razing of the old station was
brought up.
'Why, gentlemen" declared an as
tonished Representative, "there is
nothing to tear down. walked past
there this morning, and there's nothr
ing but the bare earth where the old
| station stood"
The Committee sent post-haste for
THE custodian, and the chairman asked
him sharply what had become of the
building he had charge of.
1T has been razed and the material
stored, sir,'' replied the major.
"By whose order?' quired the
chairman, red in the face.
"By order of President Roosevelt,
sir"
|Where did he get any authority
to butt into our business?" exploded
the chairman. ~ -.
'Wel, SIR" said the major, 'fit. is
not for me to question the authority
or the orders of my conmander-in
chief, but to obey them. And I did,
sir" <:
And Congress decided to consider
it 2 fact accomplished, and let it 10

WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATION s.
MAKING STEADY PROGRESS

Since the first shipment made the
29th of July the warehouse associa-
tion has shipped more than $2.1O0
worth of butter-fat which has
brought an average price of 1913
cents per pound. After deducting
the charge for collection the butter
fat has netted the, farmers an av-
erage of practically 81 cents per
pound. At the beginning of opera
tions farm butter, when a buyer
could be found, as local production
exceeded the demand, was selling at
about 40 cents per pound. Against
those 40 cents there must be charged
the cost of buttermaking and market
ing, which in many instances, because
of the small quantity made and mar
keted at one time, amounted to SO
per cent Of the value of the product.
But should no deduction be made for
cost Of making the butter and mar
keting it, the. shipper has gained, and
dIlu t1le IOIdl gain LUZ CIIe peIlOu
covered amounts to more than $500.
If this gain were all there would be
little to it, But the fact that a.
marketing system has been estab~
ished, which if given the loyal sup
port of the farmers and others wise
enough to place the welfare of the
whole county ahead of their own i'm
mediate selfish interest, is the great
thing.

caused the CARRIER in delivering the
