farther, for the rule quoted above
concerning secrecy applies to thi:
question as well as to all others.
Persons on a salary will be asked
the amount Of that salary. If it is
less than $4,000 they will be asked
to state the exact amount, but if it
is more than that amount, they need
only say that it exceeds $4,000.
Professional men will be asked
Have you received as much as $50
from any other source other thar
salary during the year 1885," and
will be allowed to answer the ques-
ton simply by saying Eyes," or no.
Census workers have already COM
pleted the business, manufacturing,
mining and quarry census. The pop
ulation census is to be competed
within two weeks after April 2 and
the agricultural census is to be COM
pleted within 80 days after the be-
| ginning of April 2.
harrington stressed the importance
of the people of the section cooperat-
ing with the census takers. 1t IS
highly important, he pointed out, for
the government to have accurate In
formation on the people of the ma
ton so that congress may be &C
~curately informed on the state OF
the nation and may pass such legis-
lation as is best suited to the 'coun.
try.

Workers, Who Will Take 10
Field April 2, Instructed
Regarding Duties

After four days of school, census
enumerators of southeastern Norlh
Carolina will return to their homes
to wait for April 2 when they Will
beg;n the d%ecennial census.
The school has been in progress IN
the customhouse since Monday morn
ing under the tutelage of ]. H. Bar
rinpton. of Lumberton, district su-
pervisor.
During these four days the emu
merators have been drilled in the
questions they are to ask, the pro-
per method of recording the answers
and especially in the need of secrecy
In regards to information gathered.
Especially emphasized during the
four day school has been the para
graph in the census manual which
says, "You are forbidden to COM
municate to any person who is not a
sworn census employee any lnfor-
nation obtained by you in the dis
charge of your official duties. by
so doing YOU would render yourself
liable, upon conviction, to a fine not
exceeding 1000, or imprisonment
not exceeding two years or to both
fine and Imprisonment. Be partlcu'
larly careful when enumeratlng a
household that no person Is reading
the entries you are making or the
entries you have made for other
households. You are not permitted
to show anyone, other than author
lied census employees, the sheets that
you have filled out, or to retain
copies of the schedules or any parts
of them"
- Not only will the census be a
counting Of noses, but it will also
furnish the government with COM
plete information on the housing sit
uation in the nation.
Census workers while enumeratlng
the people will, at the same time,
conduct a housing census, which will
show the type of construction OF
every house, whether or not 1t has
running water, sanitary toilet faclll-
ties, central heat and what not.
There has been considerable dis
-cussion about the census takers ask
ing the income of the people enumer-
ated.
This question will be asked and
must be answered, harrington said,
but those answering need have no
fear the information will go any

would not be repaid.
eff it's a loan and should be an
appropriation then the budget is a
fraud" Taft replied as half a dozen
senators started shouting at the
same time.
Taft charged that the rural farm.
er c-ooperatives had used part of
their federal loans to make initial
interest repayments to the federal
government and demanded proof
that any cooperative was paying
its way from earnings.
Senators Russell (D-Ga) and
Connally (D-Tex) ridiculed Taft's
request that they produce detailed
reports on hundreds of rural co.
operatives, saying that he had Civ.

Bond Comes Home

Bond puffed down the stairs with his portmanteau. Outside the door he stifled an impulse to wave for a passing cab. Sherry said the croSs- town bus ran on the next street; and-confound it-she might by chance look out of her window. This $2O she had given him really was an advance-yet she acted as if it were a loan to poor relative. Best to humor her for the moment. Again he picked up his bag-the blasted thing would bump his leg and started for the corner
 Beautiful girl, but temperamental needed his firm hand to guide her in racing. Putting Derby colt in the poor mans handicap-a claim ing race. For inferior horses. No one but adrunken idiot, or, or a girl, would start valuable horse 1n such contest. True, by entering Pepper Boy for $2500 she could name the weight her colt carried-within con- ditions of the race. But any qualif- jed horseman could thep claim her colt by paying the claiming price.
 Pepper Boy should win-racing column of the afternoon paper said his workouts had been fast. Nice little wager on the nose, to win. No, better play safe and bet that he'd run second-that might help out the financial stringency. But suppose the colt was claimed?
 If someone claimed Pepper Boy, he-Willie Bond dropped his bag at the thought-he'd be out of a job! Sherry had only this colt horse. He had better do some tall thinking. He'd-a cab slithered to the curb. A voice called from the gloom of the drivers seat:
