Secretary of State Stratton Prepares Book Covering Questions Which May Arts* WHh April, the month of elections, at hand, perhaps it would be interesting to look over the laws govern'ntr the elections in our state, of which there are so manv that they comprise a «*ood sized book. The book of election Jnws prepared for the «««» of election officers is com piled by William J. Stratton, secretarv of state, and covers thoroughly every ouestion that mav arise, and manv of them are of interest to the people in general. During "the past year amendments have been mad* to some of the para granhs which chance the laws, somewhat. This took nlaee in the retaliation of the t'me for the filing of petitions hv candidates, in manv cases the time for filincr being almost doubled to the previous allowance made. This was true in the filinc of petition* for school boards which are now required to be filed twenty days hefore the election when, under the former law, only ten days previous to the election were required for the filine of petitions. The time for other elections has been much extended also, with the candidates for township election being required to file forty days in advance of the election date and in the citv election thirtv-five days are required; none to be filed, more than sixtv days before the date of election. The principal general elections in the state always occur on the following dates: County and state officers on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November; for the mayor and officers of the city the election occurs on the third Tuesday in April; for all township offices the election occurs on the first Tuesday in April; and for school directors the election falls on the second Saturday in April. The primary for the election held in November is set for the second Tuesday In April. Absentee Ballots Ready Voters who will be out of the city or county on primary election day, which falls this year on Tuesday, April 8, and who wish to vote by mail may make application for ballots now at the office of County Clerk Guy E. Still. Ballots will be mailed bv the clerks office upon the receipt-of written requests. Appl'cant.3 for special voting privileges have from thirty days to not less than five days prior to the date of election to make application, making the last day for receiving applications April 3, if done by mail; or by personal delivery not more than thirty days nor less than three days before election. Applications should be sent to the county clerk who will return an affidavit of legal residence in McHenrv county to be signed by the voter and witnessed by a notary public. After the official ballot is received it may be filled in, sealed, and returned with the affidavit. It is then given to the election judees, sealed, and is counted with the other ballots. The law on the qualification of voters reads as follows: Every person having resided in this state one year, in the county ninety days and in the election district thirty davs next preceding any election therein, who was an elector in this state on the first dav of April, in the year of our Lord 1848, or obtained a certificate of nationalization before any court of record in this state prior to the first day of January, in the year of our Lord 1870, or who shall be a male citiage of 21 years, shall be entitled to vote at election.

Instructions To Voters The directions concerning the manner of preparing and casting a ballot are most vital to every voter, many ballots being spoiled becausp of the voter not having the proper knowledge as how to mark his ballot. On receipt of his ballot, the voter goes alone to one of the voting booths provided and prepares his ballot by placing a cross (x) opposite the name of the candidate,-of his choice for each office to be filled, or by writing in the name of the candidate of his choice in a blank space on the ticket, making a cross (x) opposite thereto. This applies in the case of a question submitted to the vote of the people. McHenry county is in the sixth district for the election of judges and in the seventh judicial circuit. The counties of Lake, McHenry and Boone constitute the eighth senatorial district and are entitled to one senator and three representatives. McHenry, Kane^ DuPage and Will counties constitute the eleventh congressional district. While these are only some of the highlights on the election laws they are worth the perusal of the voter, having been procured through the courtesy of Charley B, Harmon, town Ceiuras la McHenry Will Bfe Taken By Carl J. Bickler anf ' Peter M. Justen 1 " I On the morning of Wednesday, Ap ril 2, about 100,000 enumerators, duly sworn ahd commissioned by the fereral government, will start out on the task of taking the fifteenth decennial census of the United States. Carl A. Lagerstrom of Rockford is supervisor of the census in McHenr/ county and has appaointed thirty-two people throughout McHenry county to assist in the work for the county. The census in McHenry will be taken by Carl J. Bickler and Peter M. Justen, while at Spring Grove Henry C. Sweet has been appointed^enumerator. In towns and villages the work of taking the census must be completed in two weeks while in the country the enumerator will be. given a month to complete the work. The taking of this census was authorized by an act passed at the last session of congress, and it will be the most complete which has been" made since the first one in 1790. Census Is Broadened The original purpose of the census was simply to ascertain the population of the several states as a basis for the apportionment of representatives, but the census now extends far beyond this original requirement. The earliest census covered only population, but it now includes unemployment, agriculture, irrigation, drainage, manufactures/ mining and distribution. The last named is a new subject, included for the first time in the census. It may be described briefly as a census of trade, undertaken to obtain statistics of goods sold by merchants and dealers, wholesale and retail, and of the number of persons employed in trade. In organizing the great force to take the new census, the country was divided into 574 districts, each in charge of a supervisor, each having under his charge an average of about 175 enumerators. The enumerators are usually paid on the basis of the number of persons and farms enumerated. In the last census in 1920, nearly all the enumerators were paid four cents per name and thirty cents per farm. The enumerators who will collect facts about the people of the United States will need to know their geog- .raphy and something about the recent history of the world, according to instructions which have been sent out to ; the supervisors. Among the most important questions to be asked of everybody are those relating to the place of birth of the person enumerated and the place of birth of his mother and father. Each person must be credited in the census records to the state, territory or foreign country in which his birthplace is now located, regardless of what the birthplace was called or what nation owned the territory at the time the person was born. ^ Will Need Atlas If the person or his parents were born in Europe, the census taker may have to get out his atlas to find out what nation now owns the locality. For example, if a person was born twenty years ago in the province Bohemia, which was at that time a part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, the census taker should put down Czeshoslovakia as the birthplace, although no such country existed when, the person was born. If the person was born in Bess* rules I rabia thirty years ago and his father . (Continued from front page) I has worked harder than ever to make the business a surcens. With about fiftv boats in stock besides 400 rowboats and a supply ,of orders coming in as well as four new models for the season there is a oertaintv of a busy season ahead. A force of men was kept bnsv all winter filling orders and comnletinir stock ready for a busv season, with contract® for several beaut'ful models beinsr filled, the work beine: all hieh class. Mr. Hunter expects his parents home within a few davs and until thev arrive no plans for the future will be made. . Some insurance was held On the build in cr but the loss will be a heavy one beiner covered for only about one fourth its value. The iunior Hunter plans to launch some of the boats which are in storasre and thus make more room in the remaining buildings for a workshop, where work on the fulfillment of orders will be rushed as fast as new machinery and equipment make it possible. Located Here For 25 Tears Th" Hunter Boat company is an old established firm in tTils community commencing about twenty-five years ago under the name of Hunter-Wecl:- ler Boat company. About fourteen vears aero the firm was changed to the Everett Hunter Boat company which has lately become known as the Everett Hunter Manufacturing company. The fire of last week recalls another big blaze at the Hunter Boat factory which occurred about fifteen years ago. This fire started from a launch anchored near the storage house whiih caught fire from a cigar stub left on the cushion by the owner. Origin of Fire Unknown The origin of the fire on Friday night remains a mystery with no one being able to furnish a clue. The employes never smoked in the building and the men remembered turning off the electrical switch before the plant was closed und defective wiring could not have caused the fire, and everything seemed to be all rigFt when the building was closed for the night. > The past year has been the busiest one in years at the factory and the fire coming at this time it a severe blow to the company. - v Ago of Combine* "This merger thing has become a national problem," remarked a local economist last night, as he picked up the wrong fork to tackle a pear, pineapple, cheese and walnut salad.--Detroit News.

' "? - V •, was born in exactly the same place thirty years before that, the person will probably tell the census takjr that his father was born in Turkey while,, he was born m Russia, but the wise enumerator will put down Romania as the birthplace of both. In most instances, the person enumerated will know what government now controls his place of birth, for immigrants and their children usually retain a lively interest in the affairs of that part of the old world from which they came. When the person does not know what happened to the place of his birth, the census taker will be expected to supply the information. In case neither is familiar with the facts in the case, the enumerator will put down the city or province where the person was born and the bureau in Washington will insert xthe name of the country. If the persons were both born in the United States the answer will be easy for there have been comparatively few changes in state boundary lines or names within the lifetime of people now living. If a person was born in the old Indian territory the name will go on the records as Okl«' homa and the person whose father or mother was bom in the old Oregon or Louisiana territory will be asked to name the state where the birthplace is now situated In the white population of the United States as enumerated In the census of 1920 there were 13,712,754 persons who were born in foreign countries and there were 22,686,204 persons born in the United States whose parents were born in foreign countries. These tw% classes comprised 38.5 per cent of the total white population so it may be seen that the census takers may wear out several atlases finding where all these people and their parents were born To our foreign-born population Russia contributed a larger - share than any other of the countries they existed before the world war, the total number of persons born in Russia being 2,020,646; Germany ranked next with 1,915,864; then came Italj 1,615,180; then old Austria l,445,lfl, of whom only about 575,000 were born within the confines of the Pre8®J^ Austria; and next Ireland, 1,164,707.
