MOST COMPLETE CENSUS
THAT EVER WAS TAKEN
1t Will be Uncle Sans Great Inyoice
OF His Possessions. Has Nothing
to do With Taxation.

Work in the United States Census
ONCE is progressing rapidly and the
time for the enumeration approach
es. Enumerators throughout the
United States will begin work on
Friday morning, January and will
continue until the work is completed.
This will be the most complete and
most important census ever taken
and will be an invoice of factories
farms, forests, mines and quarries.
In fact, it will be Uncle Sam S great
invoice of his possessions.
1t will also be complete enumer-
alton of the population as to names.
age, sex, nationality, race, color,
native or foreign-born citizens.
1t will also show the number of pee
pie over ten years of age who cannot
read or write, as we'll as numerous
other valuable statistics.
This census has nothing whatever
to do with taxation and every fact
given and statement made to an
enumerator is strictly confidential
and no statement can be used in any
way against any person. The only re-
qulrement is that all questions must
be fully and truthfully answered.
In order to effect economy and at
the same time give more work to
the enumerators, it is the intention
to- have these enumerators, as far
as possible, collect the statistics of
manufacturers, mines, quarries and
irrigation or drainage projects, as
well as statistics of population and
agriculture. 1t is believed that this
arrangement will make the positions
more attractive. ,ts
