Next Tuesday, April 3rd, is the
date of the municipal election in Jules
burg. 1t would seem that consider
able interest is being manifested in
the coming election, which is evi-
denced by the fact that the record
number Of $50 voters are registered.
Last Tuesday was registration day,
the registration board, composed Of
Mrs. Grace L. Rood, Miss Genia Geig-
er and E. j. Frederick, being in ses-
sion on that day. The board will
again be in session as registration
board next Monday, April I'd, the day
before election. The place of regis
tration is in the council room at the
power plant, this also being the poll
ing place on election dav
Thus far there is only one ticket in
the field, that designated by the Citi-
zens Party, and which appears on the
printed ballot. This ticket is as fol-
lows:
For Mayor (One-year Term)
C. w. White
For Trustees (Two-year Term)
George A. Reed. Ben Wilkinson, w.
d. Harrison
For Trustees (One-year Term to Fill
Vacancy
w. w. Vaught and Frank Deich
For Treasurer (One-year Term)
Chas. Petersen
The Grit-Advocate heartily endor-
ses the ticket submitted by the Citi-
zens Party, for the reason that it is
composed of conservative and substan-
tial men of our community, and we be-
lieve the citizens of Julesburg will
make no mistake in intrusting the
administration of the city's affairs to
these men for the terms of one and
two years respectively.
The Proposal "Shall Moving Picture
Exhibitions Be Permitted in Julesburg
on Sundays?" will be voted upon, and
this issue is no doubt responsible for
the unusual interest being manifest
ed in the coming election. The voters
of Julesburg will have the opportunity
to express their sentiments on this
question with their ballot next Tues
day, and it is freely predicted that
record vote will be cast.

is in disgrace.

when Mickey pulled the cover of the

cups.
Flora's papa forgave Mickey when
he chewed the sole of one of his
house slippers.
And, of course, Flora couldn't do
anything when Mickey tore one OF her
best silk stockings.
But last week the assessor came to
Flora's house and Mickey met him OF

RESENT TAKING OF CENSUS
Enumerstors In india Find Their Jobs

The trials and trIbulatlons OF a stan
of some 100000 census takers te
find out there were approximately
310,000.C00 people In india In 1921.
have been related by j. Marten, cen
sus commissioner for India.
The employment of this huge army
of enumerators, said Mr.. Mnrten, was
necessitated by the fact that. owing to
the i~lllteracy OF the population, the
employment OF the householder as
enumerator Of his household was Inn
possible He told OF instances Of
enumerators being stabbed by suspi-
cious Hlndus, who considered the CEN
sus takers too inquIsitlye. Some of
the natives, on the other hand, resort
ed TO violence when bribery failed TO
induce the census takers to make
false entries showing that the natives
enjoyed higher stations in the social
scale than was really the cnse.
The census, Mr.. Marten said.
showed gain Of IL per cent over the
population of 1911. The average
density of population over the whole
OF India was 1T 10 the square mile.
The maximum density of any province
was In Bengal. where there were

The annual cost for interest on q trac-
