his time during the year in order to
meet his tax obligations to his Gov
ernment whereas the American cit
izen is compelled to give up only If
teen days. The speaker said that in
these days when our obligations 10
our Government seem hard, we must
not forget that we are Just closing
the greatest war in history, and that
we are only paying the bills which
were incurred in order TO conduct that
war in the way which was demanded
by the American people.
Mr.. Swain and Mr.. Morgan discus
sed many details Of the campaign.
Mr.. Morgan said that we should ap-
proach the loan with joy and thanks
giving. Had the war lasted thruout
another summer. as our military ex-
perts believed 1t would. hundreds Of
thousands Of Americans would lie Sin
Flanders Fields, and many billion
more Of American dollars would have
been spent in crushing the Huns.
Therefore, II is with spirit Of thanks
giving that we were spared from
spending these hundreds Of thousands
Of American lives, and billions Of
American money, and that our allies
have not been forced to expand ar
even greater sum in life and material
we should approach the Victory Loan
The Secretary Of the Treasury has
hinted that the "Thanksgiving Loan
would be N appropriate name.
All Of the speakers in commenting
upon tie fact that the last issues Of
these bonds were selling below par,
said that the Government would keep
its promise and redeem these obliga-
ton dollar for dollar, but that many
people bod not kept their promise with
the Government because they had dis
posed Of their bonds in 80 many cas-
es, not because Of necessity, but be-
cause they could get . higher rate o1
interest or because they had IN oppor-
tunity to secure IN exchange for in
dustrial stocks and bonds which very
often were worthless. This has re
suited in forcing the market down. II
was the spirit that the people in buy
ing these bonds to assist their Gov
eminent would not be helping very
much II they bought them and then
Immediately turned them back ON the
market. II they are held for q reas-
enable time until the war emergency
has passed, no one will be compelled
to take less than par for his bond.
Jim Goodhart aroused great deal
Of interest in his appeal that the peo-
pie 1t home should do their part in
buying bonds and otherwise serving
their Government as the boys had
done overseas. There are yet 1900, ,OOC
boys on French soil. They are finish
ing the Job just Is we must finish oul
part Of the work, and in doing oul
part in buying bonds we are helping
to bring these boys home. Goodhearl
knew what he was talking about when
he referred to the boys. He wa
wounded while in the infantry, and
later went into. the air service, and
while IN The latter service he saw &C
tual combat with enemy planes. The
result Of the air fight in which he wa
engaged was explained by him when

ed q conference of workers of the six
teenth district, composed Of Montrose,
Gunnison, San Miguel, Ouray, and
Hinsdale, held at Montrose on Tues
day Of this week. The state chairman,
S. ID. Nicholson, state secretary, H. l..
Morgan, and state publicity manager,
Alva A. Swain, were present, and dis
cussed with the workers the problems
and conditions of this district. Jim
Goodhart, Of Denver, who as q private
in the infantry in France and later
rs an aviator flying over the German
lines has seen some real service in the
war areas, was present and gave very
interesting talks on the work of our
boys "over there"
After the meeting Tuesday after
noon, the loan workers were treated
to banquet by the people of Mont
rose.
S. d. Nicholson, the state chairman,
Is putting all of his great enthusiasm
and energy into the work. In his talk
to the workers he showed the reasons
why the American people should get
behind this loan with ali the "punch''
that characterized the support Of the
loans during the war. As to further
details Of the loan he said that the
amount Of the loan and the interest

Of the loan will not exceed IS, ,O00, ,000,-

5000 900 900. The terms Of payment
have been determined, and under these
terms, the bond purchaser will be CIV
en- twice rs long to pay for his bond
as was the case on the other loans.
These payments will extend over Z
period Of nix months, the last pay
ment being made IN November. No
payment will be made in June. Ten
percent will be the amount Of the in
itial payment.
In commenting upon the ability Of
the people to take the bonds Mr.. Mich
olson pointed out that in the entire
sixteenth district the bank deposits
were IS high ~ they were 1t this time
last year. In addition to that the peo-
pie Of the district have absorbed dur
ing the past year over . million dol
lars IN Government bonds. He then
showed that, even though there had
been much comment ON high taxation,
We were after all the most favored M

as in 1910. The change was made
because it is believed the agricul-
tural census will be more reliable on
the earlier date.
Ch1ef interest in the census, of
course, will be in the population. hut
a great many interests require much
more detailed information, such as
the ratio of males and females, dis
tribution, degree of illiteracy. pro-
portion of whites and blacks, propor-
tion of foreign born to native popu-
lation and many other facts that can
be learned only through Uncle Sam $
decennial "stock taking" The 1920
census is certain to bring out many
changes, for the past decade has been
one of wonderful growth and devel-
opment.
Next to population the greatest
interest will be in the census of agri-
culture. This will show the number
and acreage of farms in the country
and in each state and county; the
number of acres of improved land
value of farms and the stocks of ma
chinery; number and kind of live
stock, and practically every detail of
information relating to agriculture.
The census of manufactures is ta-
ken every five years, unlike the other
inquiries. This will be Of unusual
interest this time because the last
census was taken in 1914. when the
world was at peace. Since then the
greatest war in history has been
fought and America has accomplish
ed an industrial expansion that il.
unparalleled. This census, therefore.
covering the calendar year 1919,
will present statistical portrayal of
the transition of American industries
from peace to war and from war
back to a peace basis.
