QUESTIONS ON
THE CENSUS FORM
Government to Have Full Details
On Life of the Country.
Once upon a time a decree went
out from Caesar Agustus that all
the world should be taxed -in other
words that the census should be
taken of everyone in the Ronan Em-
pire forin those bright early days
apparently taxing did not mean mills
on the dollar or somuch of yourin-
come, until recently, added to tine
price of a hat.
Now Canada isto have amighty
registration somewhat after the an-
cient Caesar's fashion, but much
more thorough. it will begin by
finding out exactly every than, wo-
man and child in tate Dominion, at
the hour of midnight when May. 31st
is giving place to June 1st, ! Tite
census is to be taken "as of June
lst" but the hour fixed is really the
hour of midnight,
A tiny Canadian citizen who draws
the ,first breath of life in the last
minute of May 31st, will figure in
the total millions, An 'aged than
who goes out with the dawn on June
1st will count in the total that will
stand as Canada's official population
for ten years.
But this is not ail, if you have a
patch or garden no bigger that a
men's hand that grows one •currant
bush capable of producing one quart
of berries, that quart . will swell the
total. li you have a brood of the
most tiny chickens so will they. For
not 'only Must the farther snake com-
plete returns of almost every blade
of grass but so must the town folks
of the products of their gardens and
their hen houses.
The Huron enumerators have re-
ceived implicit instructions from Ot-
tawa about taking the census. There
are really four fortes to be filled in es
follows:
(1) Covering the ordinary house-
hold or place of permanent resi-
dence.
(2) Covering deaf mutes and
blind people. These are entered on
the regular fords, but the entttnera.
tors must ittake supplementary lists.
(3) 'Covering business firms, giv-
ing the class of .business (wholesale
retail or manufacture) and the kind
of nature of the business, Financial
agents, banks, insurance companies,
commodity brokers, and business
agents who do not keep stocks in
hand are dot to be thus enumerated.
Neither are doctors, lawyers, not
other profession=s,
(4) Covering products other than'
those grown in farms. So country
people will have to, supply details es

every house and get this information,
If boarders are not at hone at the
time of calling in lodging houses or
hotels special forms will be left for
them to fill in. In hotels transient
guests will not be taken.
The principle is simply: where- a,
man sleeps there will his census be
taken. People in Jails, penitentiar-
ies, hospitals or other institutions of
any kind will be registered as of such
abode.
The census commissioners are very
insistent that people should under-
stand that facts or statistics given to
the enumerators may not be used
except for statistical compilation.
Positive assurance may be demanded
on this point by people being. register-
ed. The desire of the , country is to
have tate census accurate to the last
degree, if a .mart's statement of in-
come on the census forth varies front
