Build Now

Building time is now here
and the prospective home
owner should begin at once
to build the home.
A city is known by its
homes and gardens. whether
they look new, clean and well
kept. and every one should
begin at once to clean and
paint up.
Seattle must show a good
dress to her visitors. which
will insure a much better
impression by the strangers
in our city.
Civic cleanliness is also a
great tonic TO the health and
morals Of the people, and our
city has always been in the
front rank of clean and
healthy communities. So be-
gin now and repair the
house and plant the garden,
and keep all the prestige we
have gained. C

THE LOCAL PAPER.

The merchant who fails to adver-
tise in his local newspaper isn't doing
his duty to himself or his community
No matter what size town you live in
the home paper is big factor in its
prosperity. It reflects the life of the
town, keeps everybody posted on
what is going on. Without it the
town would be dull and dreary spot
Advertising is one of the most in
teresting features of the newspaper
Live advertising helps to make it a
live interesting, readable sheet. The
right kind of advertising will bring
you results, build up your stores rep.
utation, bring trade in to buy the
things you want to sell.
The local newspaper is always a
booster of the buy-it-at-home policy
Back il up, then, in its good work by
making your advertisements SO reg
ular in appearance and so full of live
store news, that there will be some
valid reason for the home buying ar
gument.
The advertising manager of one
of Americas largest mail order
houses recently told large conven-
ton of advertising men that his COM
pany maintains ga bureau whose du-
ty it is to read, each week, the weekly
papers from all over the country. This
bureau looks over these papers and
when it finds town where the merch-
ants are not advertising steadily in
the local papers that town is imme-
diately flooded with literature. 1t
always brings results far in excess of
the same effort put forth in territory
where the local merchants constantly
use their local papers"
If your papers live one, help it
along. If it is a weak one, try to
put "pep" into it. If it's dead one,
get the corpse decently buried, and
an up-to-date paper in its place-but
while there is newspaper in your
town, stand back of it with your ad-
,vertising, your influence and your
moral support.-Northwest Farm

CENSUS FACTS.

The Fourteenth Decennial Census
is to be taken during the month of
January, 1920
The first census of the United
States was taken in 1890, during the
administration Of George Washing
ton. It related solely to population.
The Constitution of the United
States requires that census of the
United States be taken every ten
years. It is by this means that the
apportionment Of members of the
House of Representatives is made as
to States.
The Bureau Of the Census is a
part Of the Department of Commerce.
It was established. as a permanent
Bureau in 1902. Prior to that time
the census work was done by a tenn
porary organization known as the
Census Office.
A census Of the country's manu-
features was made for the first time
in 1910. Under the present law a
manufactures census is to be taken
in connections with the Fourteenth
Decennial Census and every two years
thereafter.
An enumeration Of the mines and
quarries Of the United States was
made for the first time in 1910.
The Sixth Decennial Census, taken
in 1910, was the first one to cover
agriculture statistics, now one of the
most important parts Of the entire
census.
The Department of Agriculture as
sisted the Census Bureau in prepar-
ing the list Of questions to be asked
of every farmer the coming census.
United States marshals acted as
enumerators at the first nine De-
cennial censuses. Each marshal had
as many assistants as were necessary
to properly cover bis allotted ter
ritory.
About $50 people were engaged in
taking the first census of the United
States. The 1920 census win re-
quire the services of 10000.
The statistics Of the first census of
the United States were published in
one small volume consisting of Sc
pages. The statistics Of the 1910
census required IL volumes having an
aggregate of 10000 pages.
There were 6,36i,502 firms re-
portedra at the last Decenniai census,
valued at more than 40 billions Of
dollars. The 1920 census ID expect

ed to show more than 100000
farms.
The Census Bureau prints special
supplement for each state in the
Union containing all the census fig
ures relating to the state in question.
Congress extended the scope of
the approaching 1920 census by pro-
viding that census of forestry and
forest products should be taken.
These subjects were never specifically
covered by any past census act.
] It required 18 months to complete
the enumeration work for the first
decennial census in 1890. In 1920
the Census Bureau plans to complete
the enumeration work for the entire
country in from two to four weeks
and announce the population figures
in less than three months from the
date the enumeration work is COM
pleted.
A heavy concentration on ages
ending in five and zero are always
reported at a census. The Census
Bureau has made many efforts to
overcome this inaccurate tendency on
the part of. people when stating ages.
Every census has disclosed the fact
there are more men in the United
States than women.
In 1914, the year the last man.
ufactures census was taken, there
were 275,000 manufacturing estab-
lishments reported. The Census Blu
reau expects about 100000 estab-
lishments to be listed in 1920.
The statistics gathered by the Cen
sus Bureau in regard to farms are
used quite extensively by the Depart
ment of Agriculture in it's work of
aiding farmers.
The ingenious machines used by
the Census Bureau to count, sort and
tabulate the information gathered
by the census enumerators are the
product of the Bureaus own labora-
tory. The sorting machines will take
care of 800 cards per minute, the
counting machine can do 500 cards a
minute and the tabulating machine is
capable of handling 400 cards each
minute.

WAR RISK INSURANCE.

The speed and precision with which
1.-THE Bureau of War Risk Insurance is
handling cases calling for the pay
bment of insurance under the total
and permanent disability feature of
the law were emphasized in an UNI
expectedly substantial manner to a
group Of wounded men who are pa
tients at Walter Reed hospital, dur
/ ing the course of visit to the bureau
at the invitation of Director R. G.
ICholmeley-Jones.
When the men reached the Bureau
in the morning, they were unaware
that their condition warranted pay
ment of insurance on the policies
which they held at the time they were
wounded in France on account of to-
|tal and permanent disability. Still
less did they anticipate that within a
few hours they could be examined by
medical officers, awarded insurance,
handed checks ranging from $438.67
to $888.47, covering insurance due
them from the dates of their injuries,
to take with them when they returned
to the hospital. Yet this is exactly
what happened.
Other wounded men from Walter
Reed are scheduled to receive SINH
larly speedy delivery of checks on
their insurance policies, and the
work is to be continued by COM
mittee appointed by Director Chol-
meley-Jones until all the men en-
Titled to payments of insurance for
permanent and total disability have
been found and given the money to
which they are entitled under their
policies.
| All of the men who held War Risk
Insurance policies and who are en-
titled to payments of insurance for
total and permanent disability will
receive compensation" in addition
to their insurance money, after dis
charge from the service. They would
have received Compensation" auto.
matically and regardless of whether
they carried any War Risk Insurance
but they would not have received the
insurance money if they had not car.
ried insurance policies.
When one carries War Risk In
Isurance policy and becomes totally
land permanently disabled through
sickness or injury, he becomes eligible
to receive monthly payments of in.
lsurance from the date of his disabil.
Iity and as long as he lives. He does
mot have to pay any more premiums
Every former service man or service
moman who keeps up his or her gov.
ernment insurance will have this pro.
lection against possible total perma.
nent disability, which may occur to
ANYONE at any time from variety
Of causes.
When member of the military o,
luaval forces bought War Risk Insur.
ance he purchased straight life in.
surance with the added proviso, with.
out increase in premiums, that the in
surance would mature and become
payable to the insured himself in the
event that he became totally and per.
manently disabled. Few people ap.
pear to realize that insurance is en-.
tirely separate from compensation
the latter being provided irrespective
Of whether or not man purchased
insurance.
