As there aren't enough census enum-erators to make the entire rounds on thai nay. or for many days following, in all probability the process will ho stretched out a good deal, but all ques-tions will be asked and answered with reference to that day. for instance. the enumerator may arrive at your boua ■ on June 'i or 7 ami Bnd thai yon were married on June i, Down you go on his list as a bachelor; your wife si t down as a spinster living al Ihe resiih-iiee of her parents. The census wont recognise your marriage n all because it look place after June I.

A business man generally considers his business as his own bus-ad nobody else's, and prefers to t'-M almost anything else about himself rather than give details of the process "s win rchy he makes his living:. Hut ile- government Is just as much Inter-ested in your business as it is in your household.

In , a... yon areii'l sure of lhal, the one vou spend the most time and effort on will lie that under which you will be described. Thus. If you tend bar in the daytime and usher in the theatre in the evening yon will go down na a bartender. Some persons hnve no oc-cupation. They will bo asked whence their income Is derived, and if they re-celve most or it from loaned money, siocks bonds, or other securities, you are a capitalist by the tlovernmenl definition. In ease one hasn't any In-come at all then will bo probably he a noie to ibis effect, as the Government is loo polite to set anybody down na n hobo.
