A very effective agent for moisture

aluminium leaf coating. T. Is coating
practically insulates tho wood against
any change in atmospheric conditions,
and Is particularly valuable for use
where accurate form and balance must
be maintained. as would be necessary

Under the compulsory primary cleo

will be nominated at the same time the
regular August election is held. We
know of no sharp local issues that are
likely to arise in this election. 1t ap-
pears that all probable candidates for
the Senate heretofore mentioned in
this paper have been eliminated ex-
cept W. A. Jordan of Dixon Springs,
who, we are advised, viii make the
race. AS time goes on, we learn of no
probable candidate for the House ex-
cept I. D. Beasley of Middleton, and
it is understood that he will make the
race. Mr.. Beasley is a most excellent
young man with splendid moral and
intellectual attainments. He is clean,
capable and trustworthy, and his over
seas service in the late war will be an
additional argument in his favor. We
do not mean by this article to commit
the Courier to the candidacy of either
of these men, nor to pre-empt the

Hers was a life well rounded, fully

She possessed a character of true
refinement, a pure heart, benevolent

that soothe and bless.

CENSUS TAKERS
HAVE TROUBLES
They Told About Some of
Them at Conference
With Mayor.

A fair attendance of census enumer-
ators in Fairmont appeared in the
mayors office yesterday at five
o'clock to discuss census taking IN
this city. After some Illuminating
stories had been told Of troubles ex-
perienced in getting the census rec
ords, 1t was unanimously agreed that
all enumerators were doing their best
to get full and complete records but
that with the bad weather and many
not at home, the work had been I'M
satisfactory in some instances. 1t is
understood that those working for Ma
rion county get four cents name but
the number OF names was not revealed
yesterday as the census takers say
ment to give out this information. II
seems to have been difficult this year
to get enumerators and most of these
are employed in the day time and
attend to the work after business
hours. Because 1t grows dark carry
and because it requires somewhere
from five to fifteen minutes to each
person to get the required informal
ton the work progresses slowly, and
while some of the enumerators have
already finished, there are several who
have incomplete records.
Those present yesterday say where
persons were not at home they made
note of this and went back later. A
list Of persons to visit for the secono
and sometimes the third time still
remains to be completed. In houses
where there are several roomers 1t
has been found some of these are
missed. 0ftentimes omission of the
names is to be blamed on the house
wife who does not like to tell the
enumerator that she keeps roomers,
feeling it is nobody's business.
Foreigners have also handicapped
the census takers as many of these
are afraid the census has something
to do with another war and their
husbands will be taken away from
them II they answer questions too
honestly. Some persons are suspect
ed OF dot swing accurate information
adopting the attitude that it doesn't
matter and fearing that some time,
somewhere, personal information will
be made public.
Several enumerators tell amusing
stories of women who positively will
not tell their right ages. One woman
a maiden lady when asked her age
said: How old did the lady across
the street say she was?" This wom-
an was also maiden lady and there
was a rivalry between the two friends
of long standing. When the Nenumer-
ator objected to replying she said:
well. whatever it was, I'm the same
age she is"

the matter is kept befcls the public so
