"The man on the street” Ik
guessing the population of North
Wilkesboro all the way from 4,-
200 to 5,300 and the population
of the county from 40,000 to
more than 50,000.
For the census which began in
Wilkes Tuesday enumerators
were given large portfolios con
taining the necessary blanks and
equipment for their task. Bach te-
sworn to keep confidential the In
formation obtained in the census.
Despite rumtdings of popular
displeasure at the questions the
enumerators are to ply during the
next two weeks or so, the 33 spac
es on their huge blanks seek
mainly stock information.
Source of the grumbling are
the last two questions on the list:
"Amount of money, wages or sal
ary received (Including commis
sions)” and “did this person re
ceive $50 or more from sources
other than money, prages or sal
ary?' While thesi are sore spots
with many, it is very important
to Uncle Sam that you answer
them, since personal income is a
measure of employment—one of
the most vital of national prob
lems.

income to a stranger, the enume
rator is ready for you. He (or
she) will hand yon a blank that
you may fill out. place in an en

mail it to census headquarters.

not be used for taxation, regula

Meat is 1 enderKabbit
Washington, April 1.—Pay no
attention to the dale, it was
mountain lion that Ira N. Gabriel-
son. chief of the Bureau of Bi
ological Survey, served today to
20 Capital sportsmen.
Served with brown rice and
crackling bread, it looked just
like roast veal.
William A., Van Dtizer. vraffic
director of the District of Colum
bia, took the first bite. AATien
he nodded appn val, others fol
lowed;
California cougar is tender (or
this one was). Knives were not
needed. A fork cut the food.
Unlike some kinds -of wild
game, the meat was not stringy,
nor did it have a strong gamey
taste.
“This must be an April's fool
joke,” suggested one of the din
ers.
“No it isn’t," said Gabrielson,
'on that I swear.”
The guests were asked to de
cide what it tasted like. Ballots
were taken around the table.
There were a few votes for
veal, one for pork. But most a-
greed that mountain lion tasted
like rabbit.
Tou.^h going calls for extra power! In circuses the elephants are
brought up to support the horses. In railroading exltxa engines are
