000 and will take six months to

bo asscssod approximately $10 a
lot. Delays in obtaining and set
ting up machinery prevented the

plete the cast bank of tho chan
nel by January 1st. Laurgaard
believes it will bo March 1st be

"A Child Plus Good Books
Equals a Citizen of Greater Use
fulness." This slogan has been
adopted by tho Boy Scouts of
America and is a worthy one to
consider. To sea tho children at
the library, ono calling for a
book on South America, another
wants to find out how to make
an airplane, and still another
asks for a book on tho caro of
nets, indicates thnt tho average
child is hungering to know
things. Tho ono who reads
worth while books is the child
who advances, and it should bo
tho aim of cvory paront to put
into the hands of his child tho
best literature possible.
Women will tako the census in
Portlnnd; or rather, 237 of the
29(1 enumerators in tho Third
congressional district will be
women. Most of them are houso-
wives. Wo want to earn a little
money and penorm a civic
duty," 133 women told William
Bennctt.supcrvisoroi the census
for the Third congressional dis
trict. It isn't because Women
have more brains than men that
most of the enumerators will be
of tho "weaker" sex. Not at
all, Bennett declares, it is sim
ply because most of tho bio ap
nlicants were women. The
census-taking will begin J miliary
and continue two weeks.
Everyone is asked to familiarize
l mso f w th extensive history.
Bediming with the wifo. those
nearest in relation to tho head of
tho family must bo named in the
fo ow nir order: Children, bo-
ginning witii tho eldest; re

vants. Those born in tho Uni
ted States must bo so designated.
Members of tho family who can't
read or write English must be
