ARM|ST|CE DAY
/, IS PROCLAIMED
Governor Edwards Calls for
Observance of Day the
Armistice Was Signed.

By Special Correspondent
TRENTON, Nov. 9-Governor
Edwards today issued a proclama-
tion designating November IL as
the occasion for an observance of
the signing of the armistice with
Germany. The proclamation reads
as follows:
"On November IL. 1918, an ex-
pectant world, eagerly watching the
efforts OF the allies to crush the
armies of the German empire, was
electrified by news of the armistice.
AS the history of the thrilling feats
performed by the boys of the Amer
lean cxpeditionary force was re-
vealed to our people, an abiding
faith and pride in the valor and
courage of the American armies
flied their souls.
'"To afford an opportunity of CIV
ing expression to these sentiments
and to evidence the deep apprecia-
tion in which the boys of the A. T..
+. are held by the people, it is urged
that Thursday. November IL, 1920,
be set apart for commemorating the
great day which brought victory
to America and her allies.
when possible, business should
be suspended, and the day given
over to the holding of celebrations
evidencing the feeling of the Amer
lean people"
Preparations Made Here.
Armistice Day has not yet been pro
claimed legal holiday in the State
of New Jersey, but in this city, it
will not pass unobserved. The
American Legion, Perth Amboy Post
AZ. had planned a fitting celebration
to take place in the afternoon, but
notice from the secretary of state to
the effect that the day is not legal
holiday, frustrated the plans which
would call for the presence of the
men during the day. However. a
community dance has been arrang-
ed by the organization in honor of
the day. At this time, If they have
been received, Mayor-elect William
c. Wilson will present the colors to
the post. as a gift which he offered
some time ago, and Isaac Alpern
will present the boys with a Legion
standard.
On Armistice Sunday, November
IA. the veteran organization of the
city will attend the patriotic SER
church. An invitation was extend
ed by Rev. w. Northey Jones some
time ago, which was accepted by
these organizations.
The American Legion will meet
with the G. A. r. at the Y. NJ. c. A.

BIG CENSUS JOB
STARTED FRIDAY
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
TASKS OF FEDERAL GOVERN
MENT IS BEGUN. AND INFORMA-
TON OF INESTIMABL VALUE TO
THE COUNTRY AND II CITIZENS
WILL BE CLEANED.

Beginning this (Friday) morning,
$1,000 enumerators initiated the work
of taking the fourteenth decenial CEN
sus of the population of the United
States. An idea of the scope of Uncle
Sans inquisitorial power may be had
by a sursory examination of the CEN
sus schedule. A penalty of 500 is pro-
vided for failure to answer questions
asked.
For purposes of enumeration persons
alive or New Years Day are counted as
living. no matter how long lead by
the time the enumerator gets around
to count them. To counter-balance
this, no attention will be paid to babies
who are born on the day the taking
of the census is inaugurated. The final
population figures will be as of Jan. l..
In addition to the $1,000 enumera-
tors. there are 372 district supervisors
and q heavy clerical force in each dis
trict. On top of these he must keep
a staff of 1000 clerks in the Census
Bureau at Washington busy for months
on the tabulation of the figures brought
in, with innumerable experts to make
digests and abstracts Of the facts he
collects.
For the first time since the census
became q decennial affair in this coun-
try, which was in 1890. and the popula-
ton found TO total 3,929,21i, it will be
taken in winter.
The census will show what changes
are necessary in the representation OF
the States in Congress. 1t will furnish
information, vital at this time, on the
size and origin of the alien populations
in our larger cities. and on the extent
to which Americanization programs
have succeeded in extending among
them a knowledge of English n in
encouraging naturalization. Third. 1t
will show the effects of the war for
comparing the rate and give data for
comparing the birth rates of families
Of native and foreign origin.
Fourth, it will furnish seekers after
statistics with facts of varied interests.
The census will also tell how the cit
les have been growing actually and
comparatively. Cities are jealous of
their rural rank in the population list
and the enumeration will establish
beyond question their proper places.
All enumerators will get the maxi
mum compensation allowed by the law
-ic for each name recorded on their
schedules and soc for each farm Wis
tied. 1t is estimated that it Will cost
Uncle Sam about $40. 900 to count up his
family. which is expected to be shown
as totaling about III, 000, 600.
The cooperation of every man, wo-
| man n child is urged in getting
down on the e~numerator's sheet all
| the required facts concerning which
he will question them.
The fourteenth decennial census will
be the second of the series taken
through the permanent Census Bureau.
This was created July |. 1902 and plac-
ed under the Department of the Inter
Tor. A year later it was transferred
to the newly created Department OF
Commerce and Labor, and since March
4, 1913, it has been under the Depart
ment of Commerce.
