' FOURTEENTH DECENNIAL CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES. ; t Bv the President of the United States of America. A PROCLAMATION. Whereas, by the Act of Congress approved March 3, 1»19. the Fourteenth . Decennial Census of the United States is to be taken beginning on the setl ond dav of January, 1920; and 1 Whereas, a correct enumeration of the population every ten years is re | mired by the Constitution of the United States for the purpose of deter-) mining the representation of the several states in the House of Representatives; and Whereas, it is of the utmost importance to the interest of all the people i of the United States that this Census should be a complete and accurate I report of the population and resources of the Nation; i Now. therefore. I. Woodrow Wilson. President of the United States of I America, do hereby doelare and make known that, under the law aforei said, it is the duty of every person to answer all uuestiona on the census I schedules applying to him and the family lo which he belongs, and to the I farm occupied by him or his family. and that any person refusing to do i so is subject to penalty. The sole purpose of the Census is to secure general statistical informai tion regarding the population and resources of the country and replies are required from individuals only to permit the compilation of such general statistics. No person can be harmed in any way by furnishing the infor- . -nation required. The Census has nothing to do with taxation, with military or jury service, with the compulsion of school attendance, with the : regulation of immigration or with the enforcement of any national, state • 'or local law or ordinance. There need be no fear that any disclosure will Ibe made regarding any individual person or his affairs. For the due pro- ' tection of the rights and interests of the persons furnishing information '' every employee of the Census Bureau is prohibited, under heavy penalty, ' from disclosing any information which may thus come to his knowledge. j therefore earnestly urge upon all persons to answer promptly completely and accurately all inquiries addressed to them by the enumerators or other employees of the Census Bureau and thereby contribute to their share toward making this great and necessary public undertaking a success. In Witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal - of the United States to be affixed. - Done in the District of Columbia this tenth day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and nineteen, and of the (Peal) independence of the United States the one hundred and forty-fourth. WOODROW WILSON By the President: William Phillips, Acting Secretary of State.

Every property owner and citizen of Decatur is a stockholder and as such each should do his part and be glad of the opportunity. The most popular effort at public improvement in a long time is the proposed ornamental lighting project for the principal streets and we predict that once started the new system will spread throughout the city. The preliminary cost is small and it adds so much to the appearance of a community that the advantages will be quickly observed. To begin with the streets leading from each railway should be lighted. It does away with the old fashioned arc and is a big forward step in modernizing the city. The engineers are now working out the cost and this with all other information will be ready within a few days. At the special election held yesterday in the Milwaukee district, Victor Berger was reelected to congress, to the disgrace of the people of that community. Berger stands convicted of sedition, which means treason under another name and there is no crime in the catalogue more serious. He is against the government in whose law making body he asks and is chosen to represent his district. He was recently unseated and no doubt will again he refused the right to serve. In voting for him his constituency have hut provided that they will not be represented in congress. Such men tear down and destroy our nation and it is a serious condition to meet.

who don’t know about this simple recipe to be constantly sniflin K and snaffling, blowing and hawking, when all these obnoxious symptoms as well as the foul ,ii s . charge can be made to disappear in a few days. Ask for three-quarters of an ounce of Mentholized Areine—that’s all you need and after y 0» have mixed it with enough boiled water to make a pint, gargle the throat twice daily and snuff 0 p spray some up the nostrils, as di. rected. The tender nostrils will Soolose their soreness, heal up, and dean and healthy. 09 Important Reminder: Just as soon as anyone in the family gets a cold in the head, check it at once with this same medicine. „
