Eleuenth-Hour Rush Features
Close of Legislative Session
IF. .ENUNERATOR DON'T
FIND YOU, FIND HIM:
THEN SALEM WILL WIN

Would you like to live in the city,
second in size in the state?
Sure you would, and any one with
"a speck of civic pride is anxious to
make his city one of the best and
largest in the state.
It's easy for you to help; and if Sa-
lem is to be the second city in the
state-which it may-you must help
now.
Be enumerated. That's all you
have to do. If you haven't been en-
umerated call up the Cherrians, the
Commercial Club, Census Taker Craw-
ford. or someone and tell them. Or,
better still, stay home Monday, Tues
day, or several days, and wait for the
enumerator. If you can't stay at home
leave note telling where you may be
found.
Monday a gigantic effort was being
made in Salem to make it the second
city in the state. 1t is running neck
and neck with Astoria. And it is re-
ported that Astoria is leading by a mar
row margin. But they are enumerat-
ing everybody. Census Taker Craw-
ford believes that if everybody is emu
merated in Salem that this city will
win.
At one o'clock Monday groups of
Cherrians, headed by captains, with
one precinct each, started out to emu
merate everyone. From house to
house, office to office, they went find
ing many who have been skipped thus
far.
There are many persons working
downtown who have not been emu
merated. Many called the Commercial
club during the day and said they had
been missed by enumerators.
If you can't have an enumerator call
on you, call on them. Help 'em and
make Salem the second city in Ore
gon.
