'AGE SIX LARGE CORPS ENUMERATORS TOBEGINWORK NEXT JANUARY Sixth District Director Swinsqn Has His Helpers Ready for Canvass ‘AGRICULTURAL CENSUS WILL ALSO BE TAKEN ‘Answers Strictly Confidential and Even Names Are Lost at Bureau Thomas W. Swinson, of Bemidji, in charge of the Sixth census district of the state, will begin taking the cen- sus of his district the first of Jan- wary, in which a large corps of enu- merators will take part. In his an- nouncement, Director Swinson says: “The fourteenth decennial census, to which President Wilson has called the attention of the nation in his proclamation, made public today, is to be the biggest, best and most com- plete census of the United States taken, if the plans of the census bureau do not go awry. “Director of the Census Sam L. Rogers, has announced that every- ‘thing is in readiness to begin the can- vassing campaign that, during the month of January, will cover every mansion, every cottage ande hut in the country. An army of more than 87,000 enumerators, under the count. Every person in the land will be enu- merated and the names, ages, birth- places and occupations of all of Uncle Sam’s neices and nephews will be set down and forwarded to Washington. “Many other questions concerning home tenure, citizenship, marital status, literacy, sex, color and race are contained in the population sche- dule which the enumerators will fill out with the answers given them. Farm Questions Important. ““Farmers, also, will be asked the questions contained in the agricul- ture schedule relating to tneir farms. These questions cover farm tenure, farm products, values of farm lands, buildings, implements and improve- ments, field crops, garden products, farm expenses, livestock, poultry, bees, dairy products, improved and unimproved land, farm drainage and irrigation—in fact, all phases of the farming industry are covered. r “Even the family Ford will .be counted, as, in fact, will all automo- biles and tractors on farms. Ques- tions as to telephones and - electric light, gas and water plants also are fncluded in the groups of inquiries which fall under the general heading of “Farm Facilities,” the purpose of the government in collecting infor- mation of this character being to show the modern improvements in- stalled on farms during the past de- cade. Information Confidential. *“The census desires to emphasize the fact that the information gather- ed in the census is for géneral statis- tical purposes only and that such in- formation can not to used as a basis for taxation. Nor can such informa- tion be used to harm any person in any way. This is pointed out in the president’s proclamation. “*As a matter of fact the identity of individuals is lost as soon as the filled-out schedules are received at ‘Washington. For upon reaching there the information is transferred from the sheets to cards. This is done by machinery and names are discarded entirely. Moreover every person connected with the taking of the census is prohibited by federal law from divulging any information given them in the performance of their duties. ““The bureau of the census has al- ways had the willing co-operation of the public in the past and confident- 1y Jooks forward to that same spirit of co-operation for the census of 1920. Catskin Is Valuable. Look out for the pet pussy. Hunters ve not only been instructed to shoot y cats because they catch valuable irds, but the ordinary catskins, which used in cheap fur sets and fur- ed coats, are bringing as high as 50 each. Cat fur has been in great nd of late, both here and in Eu- Saranac Lake reports that skunk Its are a principal feature of sale, at 175,000 being offered. It was icted that more than $1,000,000 1d be realized on one consignment a recent sale in New York. It is stated that first quality skunk will bring $7 each at the open- of the winter trapping season, with proportionate advance on fox and r pelts usually secured by Adiron- ck trappers.—Utlca Globe. Different Kinds of Wash. Tom and Dick were solled as usual were told to wash. Tom soon re- with high-water marks on his and only the palms of his hands ean. Dick followed, looking clean, ut his collar and cuffs wringing wet. er, shocked at their appearance, “See here,” what ‘do you call ?" and Tom replied: “Oh, Dick had wet wash ; mine was a rough dry."

A man who can serve three presidents so different in temperament as Theodore Roose- velt, William H. Taft and Woodrow Wilson can justly claim credit for great professional skill and an even higher mark of distinction for diplo- macy of the very first order. Carey Travis Grayson, rear ad- miral, M. D, Ph. G, F. A. C. S, U. S. N., doesn’t claim credit for anything. As a matter of fact, he is an unusually modest person when it is considered that upon his sturdy ‘shoulders has fallen the burden of keeping three presidents in physical trim and restor- ing them to pormal health from the wear and tear of office cares. You never gyould know .that the quiet, unobtrusive man with the strik- ing features of an’Indian, who comes and goes unostentatiously about the White House, was the chief physician of the president of the United States and probably the most conspicuous man in the public eye during the present fllness of the chief executive. The president’s physician is just on the easy side of iorty—youngest admiral in the navy. Personally he is one of the most genial of men, fond in a temperate way of the good things fn life and excessively fond of Mrs. Grayson and their two children. CLEARWATER DISTRICT COURT ADJOURNS: - NO ACCOMMODATIONS Bagley Farmers Sue Hines for Fire Damages Received From Engines (Special to Pioneer.) Bagley, Dec. 15.—The general term of district court, which is held annually in Clearwater county dur- ing the month of October and which ‘was postponed to December 10, ad- journed Tuesday after a one-day ses-| sion. The reason for adjourning is that suitable accomodations could not ‘be secured for the judge,lawyers and witnesses. A number of import- ant cases will come up for trial and among them were to have been sev- éral important damage suits brought against Director General Hines by farmers living ‘in the vlcin.’lty of Bag- 11ey, who suffered heavy losses to their crops and property a year ago'in the fire which swept over a large part of the county and which is said to have started by passing Great Northern trains. No definite date has been set for the reconvening of the court, but it is expected to re-open some time next spring. Personal Notes. W. D.

There is an old saying among mer- chants that there are just two ways to increase their volume: of business, remarks Carl Hunt in The Nation's Business. One is through the sale of merchandise to more people ; the other, through the sale of more merchandise tv present customers. What is the community doing to help present industries? Is some man- ufacturer handicapped through the lack of street car transportation for his men, or through the need of a railroad switch that a stubborn city council has declined to authorize, or through some restriction which might easily and properly be removed? Or could additional capital be in- vested in the present enterprises of the city, to the benefit of the community, and the profit of local investors? I am well acquainted with a small Indiana city which in time past has undertaken to bé the home of a roll- ing mill and a large tin-plate mill, though there was no apparent reason why either should have been situated there. Both of them failed. In the meantime, the whole com- munity stood upon a foundation of stone which was of excellent quality for paving purposes, and from which lime could be, and later was, produced. The one man who entered the stone ‘business there eventually had a thriv- ing trade which later, passing into the hands of outside people, grew still larger. With fuel—a good grade of coal—but a few miles away, and with such stone deposits, this community might have developed along this line had local capital become interested, or had the community made a serious and well-directed effort to interest stone men from other places, for the city has excellent railroad service—three main lines—and is within easy shipping dis- tance of several important cities which afford a large market for crushed stone.

TAKE SALTS TO 'FLUSH KIDNEYS Eat Less Meat If You Feel Backachy or Have Blad- der Trouble Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of fmeat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull mis- ery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, diz- ziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channéls often get irritated, obliging vou to get up two or three times du;i/ng the night. o neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body’s urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a ta- blespoonful in' a glass of water be- fore breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder ir- ritation. -Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful ef- fervescent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding serious kid- ney and bladder ‘diseases. .
