Clerk of Court John Liggett
remarked to a Herald reporter
that he was surprised to know
that there were SO many people
who did not know there was a
law compelling people to notify
the clerk of court of births and
deaths in their family within a
few hours after their accurrance
The law reads as follows:
POWERS OF CLERKS OF COURT
"Said Clerks of Court, shall have
power and authority to visit any par
ent, ply sician, justice Of the peace,
undertaken, sexton or other person,
within their respective counties,
charged with the duty of making birth
and death reports and filing the same
with the clerk of courts, or securing
or issuing burial or transportation
permits as required by law,who sh all
fail in the performance of said duty
within the time prescribed by law, and
shall secure such necessary birth or
death report, and the said clerk of
courts shall be entitled to collect from
the person or officer so delinquent, the
sum of one dollar for each birth or
death report, so delinquent and ten
cents per mile for each mile necess arily
travelled in the performance of said
| duty, but the payment of said expenses
shall not be construed as relieving
| aid delinquent officer or other person
from the forfeiture and liabilities pre-
| scribed by said chapter 63 of the laws
of 1905"
Aberdeen News: j. r. WouIph,
of Sisseton, who is in the city for
few days, is an ingenious farm
er who is always trying some
labor saving device arranged by
himself with view to making
farming easier and better.
Mr.. Woulph, in spite of the
objections of expert machinists,
planned and had built machine
with which he did his harvestin g
and plowed his ground at the
same time this year. This is a
4O-horse power traction engine
which can berun by gasoline, ker-
osene and alcohol of the lowest
grade. 1t cut and bound his
grain and at the same time plow-
ed the field, turning the fresh
stubble under at once. Mr..
Woulph says that he can thus do
his harvesting and blowing in
the cheapest way known to farm
ing at this time. His Is year old
son ran the machine this fall, and
cut and plowed on an average
about twenty five acres day.
Mr.. Wculph said to the News
that after he had designed the
combination and asked the
engine company with which he
was dealing, to build it for him,
the experts there tried to laugh
him out of the idea, telling him
that he was simply throwing
money away. However, he per-
sisted and said that he would pay
for 1t whether it was asuccessor
not IT it was built according to
his plans. This was done and
the machine is now proving a de-
cided success. Mr.. Woulph says
that the company which built the
machine is now arranging to
build others, which have been
ordered by Mr.. Woulph's neigh
! bOrs.
