Over 400 enumerators are needed to take the census in Mr. Smith’s dis- trict and the application for the po- sitions will run considerably in ex cess of this number. Tomorrow is the last day for the applications to be received, so all who are holding up their applications for any reason, should send them in immediatel The amount to be paid for e name taken by the enumerator will be between two and four cents, the exact amount not having been given out. In a letter to Mr. Smith, the na- tional director of the census does state, however, that where $35 a week was the average wage in 1910, the wage this time will be at least $50 a week, so that it is safe to es- timate that the enumeration will be at least three cents for each taken.
