HAVE YOUR BABY'S
BIRTH RECORDED

The record of the birth of every
child is matter of great Importance.
Many of the answers to the most vital
questions that may hereafter be pre-
sented to your child will depend upon
this record. Many children and adults
have been deprived of heritage be-
cause their parents failed to have
their birth recorded. Payment of life
insurance policies are frequently
fastened by properly recorded birth
certificate. Entrance to schools,
especially in crowded cities, frequent
ly depends upon the presentation of
copy of properly recorded birth
certificate. Important positions are
often dependent upon proof of age
and nationality, and there is no proof
as positive as a properly recorded
birth certificate.

Miss Ethel Thompson, bookkeeper
and stenographer at the C. w. & M.
company's: II think you have fur
nished the information that will go
a long way toward solving the prob
lens Of country life here If it is only
put into practice. Telling how to
increase the yield is good, but unless
people observe Col Fugate's advice
and shut off the waste and extrava-
gance they must still be poor. l
think 1t was such happy hit for
you to meet Col. Fugate that day and
to pass his comments on to all the
public. 1t Is not only the farmers
that need it but all of us. My work
here in the implement business has
given me such an insight into the
way people misuse their machinery
that ! appreciated what he said about
repairing machinery. Why one day
my sister and I were going to Salt
Lake and down there about Downey,
where the snow was deep, we saw
mower, a hay rake and a binder
standing out in the field, practically
buried In snow. The owner would
probably go to town the following
August in hurry and buy a new
set OF canvass for the binder just
because he left them out in the
weather, year later he would do
1t again. think shall try for one
