If You Want Roofing
Professionally Certain-teed

Cheese cloth will cover your building,
but you want more than covering. You
want protection and you want it to last.
Everybody wants long-lived protection.
That is why so many people buy
Certain-teed Roofing instead Of UNI
known private brands.
You know that Certain-teed is guaran-
teed for S, 10 or IS. years, according to
weight And you know that the

LEAGUE
MEETING HELD

Another league meeting was held
yesterday afternoon at the city hall:
&C. J. Olson was again chairman OF
the meeting and took occasion to tell
those present that he was very honest
No one ever questioned his honesty
and if he says he is honest we will take
his word for it. Simple Simon was
alos honest but. Benator Cahill
was the chief speaker of the after
noon meeting and attempted to en-
plain the free love lnuddle of the pres
ent administration. Cahill is the man
who said, unless we are greatly mis-
taken, that a person could be just as
good a citizen under a red flag as he
could under the United States flag.
A man might be good anarchlst or
socialist but not a good citizen II ne
prefers the red flag to the stars and
Stripes. Mr.. Cahill said that the free
love books had been on the shelves OF
the library for years. He knew ne
was not telling the truth. The BOOKS
were purchased by the present board
of administration and were placed IN
the boxes Of the circulating libraries
of the state and were ready to be sent
broad cast over the state until a stop
was put to it through the work of Mr..
Burtness, of Grand Forks. The bills
for these books was received at Bis
marck for payment last Novenbr or
December, we are not positive which,
the Times Record received duplicate
of that bill and it is on file at the Of
flee of the state auditor where any
BODY interested can see it if they wish.
If those books we're purchased twelve
wears ago as stated by this red flag
agitator, why was it the bill was not
presented until twelve years after?
Does it look reasonable that a book
firm would wait twelve years for its
payment? The senator's whole story
was as full of holes as a seive and
could be punctured at every turn OF
the wheel 1t was rank camoutiage,
nothing constructive, nothing convlnc-
inc and absolutely so lame in theory
that people got very tired listening to
it. Mr.. McCarten, senator from oar-
gent county, the place where they I'M
seat regularly elected legislators to
give the league majority, IN the
house. was also speaker of the att |
ernoon His talk was mild and harm
less. The two meetings just held did
not we think, aid the cause OF the So
cialists who are trying to retain con- ;
troll of the state government. There
was no enthusiasm, it was listless,
don't care hang meeting that was
more funereal than anything else and
it looked to US as if they were ready |
to hang the crepe on the door jamb
of the political machine that has dom
mated the political party now in pow
er.

Taking the Census.

The first census was the enumeration
Of the Israelitcs by Moses, 1870 b. G.
In the United Kingdom the first
since then it has been taken every
tenth year.
The first census of the United States,
in 1890, cost $4,000, and at that the
money ran out and the names were
never printed.
The first census of the British En-
lpire was taken in 1871. the work being
done in one night Since then a sin
lar census has been taken every ten
years.
The United States census Of 1910
was notable in that it was the first to
lie taken by the permanent Census
Bureau, which had been established i'll
1902
When the FIRST census was taken the
area Of the t nitcd States was $4,000
square miles, OF about oue-fourth Of the
present area, with less than - per cent
Of that populated
Printed schedules Were used III the
/ taking Of the United States census for
the first time in 1890 Previously, the
enumerators had used such paper as
they happened to possess.
The FIRST Federal census showed New
York city TO be possessed OF 4 popula
ton of $4,000. The new census IS ex-
pected to show population of close
10 6.0oo.000 for the metropolis
The force Of enumerators and clerks
employed TO take the present United
States census represents a larger body
than the combined population OF Kew
York and Boston 1870 years ago, when The
first census was taken.
One Of the greatest difficulties m
countered in taking the first United
States census was religious supcrsti-
tion. Many Of the preachers were VIC
lently opposed to the census, because in
Bible times curse fell over the land
when the children Of Isrcal were mum
