REASONS WHY BIRTHS
 SHOULD BE REGISTERED

1. Because many heads of families do not record the births and deaths that occur in their families in fam fly bible, consequently, unless the state makes these records, none will be kept.
 2. A boy should be able to appeal to some authentic record to show when he is entitled to vote, to take charge of property that belongs to him; when he becomes liable to military, road, and jury duty, and also when he be- comes exempt from these duties.
 8. A girl wants to. know when she will reach the age at which she can legally marry, and also when she can take possession of property that be- longs to her.
 4. Both want to able when their parents are dead to establish their right to inheritance, either from their parents, or from a distant relative
 Q. when death comes the commun- ity and the State ought to know what the age of the individual was, in order to determine whether the people are dying too young, or whether they are living to ripe old age.
 6. The state, the boards of health, and all ought to know of what diseas- es people die, in order to mature the best measures for preventing such diseases.
 2. The state and the people ought to know how many deaths occur from homicide, suicide, violence, occupa- tional diseases, etc, in order that steps may be taken to prevent, or to diminish, deaths from these causes.

GOOD ROADS ---|N THE
 TOWN AND COUNTRY
From Address of Fairfax Harrison, President Southern Pacific Rail-
 way Co.,, at American Road
 Congress, November 1914

A good country highway is helpful, directly or indirectly to all those who live in town as well as those who live in the country, but it is primarily ben eficial to the farmer. It is his high way to market He and his family must use it in all of the social inter course of the neighborhood and in church and school attendance. It is ever the country road that the rural mail carrier brings to the farmer his letters and the newspapers which keep him in touch with the events of the world. While it is not generally ap- preciated because few farmers keep books in which they take account of their own time and that of their teams as we'll as of their hired men, statis- tics prepared by the United States department of agriculture show that the cost of hauling farm products to a shipping station is very large per centage of the total cost of their car riage to their final markets and is out of all proportion to the charges made for their transportation by rail or water. As improved road reduces this cost and has the effect of bring ing outlying farms nearer to the shipping point by reducing the time required for hauling, and it tends to advance the value of each farm that it passes.
 While a system of market roads will benefit the farmer primarily, it will also be helpful to the town. In an agricultural community, without sup- stantial manufacturing enterprises, the town is practically supported by the trade of the farmers of the sur rounding county. A good road, to the degree that it may enable a farmer to market to better advantage, in- creases his purchasing power to the benefit of the merchants in the town where he may trade. Improved high ways radiatiug from a town widen the area from wi lin which the farm CT may profitably market his produce and buy his supplies in the town. Good loads in any community are also an important favtor in attracting farm settlers, who will bring increased trade to the town.
 Good roads increase the population of the country. The more good roads we have the more people there will be to travel them. Oh! we have room enough for any ordinary increase in our population. We do not object to the coming in of good settlers. We have lands enough to house and feed our own people with their natural in- crease for one hundred and fifty years to come! So we can afford to divide with others, for none of us will live that long.
 When people from a distance come to see us, find out what we have here, and learn that we have the best pub lie roads in the country, see how easy it is to go from place to place-why, they'll know that we are ur to date, and will fall in love with our good, old honest ways, and stay with us!
