2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1919 aa U. S. SEEKS 80,000 CENSUS ENUMERATORS The Director of the Census, Hon. Samuel I. Rogers, announces that 80,000 enumerators will be needed to take the next census. The work be- gins on January 2 and will last about two weeks in cities, and a month or more in rural districts. Rates of pay will vary, depending upon the locality and character of district to be can- vassed. The average pay per enumer- ator at the census of 1910 was about $70. At this coming census it will probably be not less than $100. Active, intelligent, and reliable men and women, not less than 18 years of age, are needed for this task, and, in a sense, this is a call for volunteers. The importance of a complete and reliable census, es- pecially in these critical times more than ever before perhaps we need complete data regarding population, conditions, tendencies, and resources, can hardly be over-emphasized. The reorganization of the social and the economic structure and the read- justment of international relations necessitated by the war must be bas- ed on accurate knowledge if we are to act wisely and deal justly with all classes and all interests. It is hop- ed, therefore, that public-spirited energetic people throughout the country will volunteer to act as - census enumerators even though they may not care for the positions so far as pay is concerned. Charles Stoffel, Supervisor of the Census for the second district of Illinois, which includes Ceok, County, outside of Chicago, and Lake County, states that he will need about 285 enumerat- ors for this district. Applications or requests for application forms should be sent to him at his address 5247 N. 24th street, Cicero, Illinois. As a test of their fitness for the work appli- cants will be required to fill out a sample schedule and will be duly notified of the time and place for this test. So far as practicable the place selected will be one which is easily accessible. SUGGESTS GENEVA AS SEAT OF BOY SCOUT BROTHERHOOD The head of the Boy Scouts in Switzerland, Maurice Och, is in this country to suggest that the world- wide -boy scout brotherhood have its headquarters at Geneva, as a sort of Junior League of Nations. Mr. Och says: "The Scout movement in Switzer- land began in 1913, in the Canton of Geneva. Then we formed a Swiss federation. We actually have about 3,500 scouts in Switzerland. During the war our scouts render- ed great service. They offered their assistance in the mobilization of August 1, 1914. Later they helped greatly. At Geneva, they aided in all the movements of wounded men and repatriated civilians and by help- ing the Red Cross to distribute food and drink in the trains and at sta- tions. "I am here to suggest an Interna- tional Bureau, located ati Geneva, which would serve as a bond between all the Scouts of the world. The center of the Red Cross organizations of the Allies is at Geneva, and that will be the center of the proposed League of Nations. "The International Scout Bureau might take upon itself the organizing of an international encampment in a different country each year. "I wish to express my admiration for your splendid American organ- ization. I happened to meet several of your scouts recently, and I was impressed by their good appearance. These young boys have a frank and loyal expression. NORTH SHORE DIRECTORY COMES OUT IN JANUARY The north shore is being canvassed for the directory to be issued in January by F. K. Bumsted, who for ten 'years has published the direc- tories of the north shore. Information sought by the direc- tory people is the name, address, ©oc- cupation and telephone number of every resident. "And here's an interesting fact the canvassers have discoverad," confid- ed Mr. Bumsted. "There's a scarcity of vacant houses and apartments. Why, they couldn't find--" "That's old stuff," replied the news- paperman. "Neither could renters find them." i The landscape work is being carried | on by the Indiana extension service in co-operation with schools and in- dividuals. Plans are furnished and plantings are supervised where pos- sible. Both the county agent and the | State specialist follow up the work. |! Peppermint for oil is produced in Michigan and Indiana. The crop of 1919 has the estimate of 300,000 pounds of oil from 10,000 acres and, marks another step in the continuous | decline from 600,000 pounds irom 18,- 000 acres in 1914. The average yield is about 30 pounds of oil per acre. 7 EE A | " CONVALESCING H.
