CENSUS APPLil'ATlONS F0S31S.
Those for Eoamerstcrs Received by
ths District Superviser.
Census Supervisor, James M. Mew
borne, whose office is at Kinston. N.
C. has received from the Census Bu
reau a supply of blank applications
for persons applying for positions as
census enumerators. These will be
forwarded to his list of applicants as
soon as possible.
The applications, properly filled
out, must be returned to the Super
visor not later than Jan. 31, the Cen
sus Director having extended the
time for filing from Jan. 25, which
was the date first set for closing the
consideration of applications. The
"test" will occur Feb. 5, as pre
viously announced.
The instructions printed on the ap
plication form state that a definite
answer is required to each of the
;uestions, which are:
"Are you a citizen of the United
States? If naturalized citizen, when
and where were you naturalized?
"Of what State or Territory are
you a legal resident? How long have
you been a legal resident thereof?
Of what county and of what town or
rrity and ward are you a resident?
How long have you been a resident
thereof?
"What is your sex and color?
What was your age at last birthday?
Where were you born?
"What is your education? (Give
principle facts.)
"What is your present occupation?
"What is your professional or bus
iness expciience? (Give the prirci
o;e facts, and, if at present an office
holder, name the office you hold.)
"Have you ever been employed on
census work, either national or state?
If so, in what capacity and for how
long a period?
If an enumerator,
for what territory or district? (De
scribe as accurately as possible.)
"Are you physicai'.v capable of a
full discharge of the duties of a cen
sus enumerator? Have you any de-
feet of either sight, hearing, speech,
limb? If so, state nature of do-
feet.
'Do you speak English? Do you
understand an i speak any language
other than English? If so. what lan
guage? (Specify languages spoken,
as Bohemian, Chinese, Danish, Ger
man, French, Greek, Hungarian, I
talian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Mag
yar, Norwegian, Polish, Portugese,
Russian, Slavic, Spanish, Yiddish,
etc.)
"Are you a member of a political
committee of any party? (Answer
'Yes' or 'No but do not indicate
vhat party.)
"In view of the fact that you may
be required to take a test before a
post-master, state what post-office
would be most convenient to you for
ihis purpose.
(This test is of a practical charac
rer, consisting chiefly or wholly of
the filling out of a sample schedule
of population from information fur
nished regarding typical families,
and, in the cae of enumerators
whose work wiii be in rural districts,
the filling out of a sample schedule of
agriculture.)
"Are the answers to each of the
fore-going questions true to the best
of your knowledge and belief? Are
they in your own handwriting?
Indorsements of each applicant
must be secured from two represen
tative citizens of the community in
which the applicant resides. They
must at least be 21 years of age and
acquainted with the applicant not
!pps than one vear. Indorsements
wiil not be accepted from any per
son who is in any way related to an
applicant. The indorsement certifies
that the applicant "is a thoroughly
trustworthy and honest person, of
good habits, and, in my opinion, is
fully capable of discharging the du-
ticp of a census enumerator, if ap
pointed." Thct nrrdiibition is eftective is
shown by the decrease of criminal
cases being noted in every section
of the State. At Winston-Salem
there was a decrease of 428 cases
during 1909 over the previous year,
and the number of cases of drunken
ness have fallen off over one hundred
per cent. A citizen of Western Stan
ley a few days ago told us that there
is no comparison now with what it
was in his community before the
prohibition law became effective,
and there seems to be both a de
crease in crime and drunkenness.
With proper activity on the part of
officials, one would near no com-
j r,aint of prohibition not being pro-
i hibitive. Stanley Journal.
Beys, Here's Your Chance.
The State Farmers' Co-operative
Organization is giving the boys on
the farm a chance to secure valua
ble prizes and at the same time en
courage them to take a deep inter
est in their life work.
The young men of today are the
future farmers of this country. They
will naturally step into the shoes of
their parents and therefore their pa
rents should make farm life just as
inviting as possible for the boys and
girls and thus quicken in them a love
for thefarm.for undoubtedly in these
times of increased cost of living the
farm beats city life, for many in the
cities find it exceedingly hard to
make "buckle and tongue" meet.
Let the boy have an acre of good
ground and experiment thereon with
certain crops, both as to planting,
cultivating and fertilizing and let
this be the experiment plan of the
farm, and we'll venture to say the
result in gathered information will
be more than worth while.
With proper methods the yield of
corn, the crop most needed, may be
doubled. So let the boy have an acre
in corn and win the valuable prize, a
free trip to Washington, D. C, the
capital of our country, that the de
partment offers to the most success
ful corn grower.
Any boy who wishes to enter this
contest should send his name to his
county superintendant cf schools, or
to I. O. Schaub, West Raleigh, N. C.
We hope every farmer's son of
sufficient age will enter this contest.
In this way the father will become
interested, and eventually the corn
crib will contain sufficient corn to
feed the family and the stock until
another crop is made. Wilson Times
