Cabinet has decided not to take the census of the Dominion together with the electoral registration. As the outcome of a full inquiry it was found that an attempt to take both together would mean delay in obtaining the census returns. It is important that they should be completed by April 2nd. Greater expedition in obtaining both would be secured by keeping them separate. In regard to agricultural statistics, separate forms are to be furnished. The electoral register cannot be completed until the boundaries of the various electoral _ districts have been fixed, and this is dependent upon the completion of the census returns, upon which the Representation Commissioners' report is compiled.

And the minister went; away looking thoughtful, while the editor turned to bl3 work, telling about the unsurpassed beauty of the bride, while, as a matter of fact, she was as ugly :'S a mud fence.
