REMAN MADE CENSUS HEAD OF SECOND DISTRICT

Eaton Man Starts Work District Embraces Preble, Montgomery and Butler.

EATON, O., Sept. 1. Griffin E. Rens-

man, of Eaton, has received his commlsion as supervisor of census for the Second Census district of Ohio, and has established offices here in the court house, in the room occupied by the Red Cross during the late war activities, and has entered upon the preliminaries of his work. The Second Ohio Census district embraces the counties of Preble, Montgomery and Butler, which will be divided into more than two hundred enumeration districts and an enumerator will be appointed in each district. The director of the census will submit a teritatlve plan for formation of the many enumeration districts and the supervisor will have the privilege of altering or correcting the plan in any manner he may deem necssary to facilitate the work. Activities of the enumerators will "be directed wholly from Supervisor Ransman's offices, in Eaton, as no deputy supervisors are provided for or "will be appointed in the three counties making up the district. Taking of the 1920 census will begin on the second day of January, next, and will cover the following subjects: population, agriculture, manufacture, forestry, forest, products, mines and quarries. The statistics relative to population and agriculture will be collected wholly by enumerators under the direction of the district supervisor. The enumeration of population will be taken as of the first day of January, 1920. In the case of incorporated cities or villages containing more than 2500 population the enumeration must be completed within two weeks. The census of agriculture and enumeration of population In rural districts must be completed within thirty days. The Second Ohio district contains the city of Dayton, the fifth city In population in Ohio, according to the 1910 census. The population of the entire district at the 1910 census was 257,868. It is one among the most

densely populated census districts in

Ohio.

So far as census records reveal,

thi3 is the first time within the history of the local census district that appointment of the supervisor comes to Preble county. However, it is said, the late Cornelius VanAusdal, Eaton's

first merchant, was identified with taking the census back in pioneer days. Already Supervisor Rensman has on file a number of applications from persons desiring appointment as enumerators. He has been advised by the director of the census that formal application blanks will be farwarded later on. These will be sent out to applicants to be filled out and returned to Supervisor Rensman. No application will be consudered unless submitted on the regular blank form. All appointments of enumerators, as directed by the director of the census, must be made upon the basis of quali

fication, without reference to political affiliation. Supervisor Rensman has resigned membership on the Democratic executive committee of Preble county, in

order to comply with provisions rela-

The result of a little plan concocted by the Ives, when they think that Alice has carried on her affair with Terry long enough, is that Terry no longer

Thomas Ogden, of Eaton,

corder's office, succeeding Ola Potts, who served two terms. Chester A. Burns, of Eaton, succeeded John Ryder os surveyor, after he had served one term. The three new officials are Republicans.

wright, chose this subject for "As a Man Thinks," the Four Star attraction featuring Leah Baird at the Washington theatre today and tomorrow. That there is and must be a double standard of morality is pointed out in this fascinating drama. The action of the story takes place In New York and Paris. In the latter city Frank Clayton finds amusement in a flirtation with the audacious Mimi, artist's model. When his wife, piqued at his actions, accepts attentions from an old suitor, the husband forgets his little affair and accuses the wife. The working out of the sit-

toobjuation brings "As a Man Thinks" to a

strong climax.

One of the best pictures the screen has ever seen not a gruesome, sordid melodrama that will make you feel like a washed out dish-rag after you have seen it but a corking, breezy delightful comedy drama of the elite of Long Island, will be seen on Friday and Saturday at the Washington theatre, when Selznlck pictures presents Olive Thomas in the first of her series of productions under this management, "Upstairs and Down."
