BABY WEEK.

Child welfare is responsible for a
nationwide Baby Week, which will
be observed soon. Infant mortality
is receiving the attention of the best
minds in the medical world.
One week devoted to better babies
means improved conditions in the
home. 1t spells more happiness to
the masses. What better recognition
of the adage "the child is father of
the man."
A death rate OF $50 means that $50
of each 1000 babies born in year
die before reaching one year of age.
Decrease that rate to 100 and condi-
tions are fair. But cut that rate in
two and it indicates that sanitary
conditions are good and that moth
ers have been taught some of the
lessons that should precede matern-
ty.
The chief object of Baby Week is
to get information to those who need
it. Increase the knowledge of moth
ers and you decrease the death rate
of babies. That is the mission OF
Baby Week in a word.
Bismarck should join the move.
ment. There is a necessity here for
a Baby Week, too.

III MIGHT Be WELL,

States Attorney Berndt can do the
tax payers Of Burleigh county a dis.
tinct service in investigating the
charge that the board of county COM
missioners awarded contract for
printing illegally.
The last published statement of a
local paper shows that one of the
county commissioners is its owner. In
other words, he is charged with enter.
ing into contract with the county.
which, under Section a2s9 is illegal.
That section reads
Every public officer being author.
lied to sell or lease any property or
make any contract in his official ca
pacity who voluntarily becomes inter-
ested individually in such sale, lease
or contract, directly or indirectly. is
guilty of a misdemeanor."
County Treasurer Prater is laying
himself liable, if he draws warrants
in payment of any contract entered
into illegally with any member of the
board of county commissioners.
The attorney generals office has
ruled that il the paper in question is
owned by one of the commissioners,
as the government sworn statement
clearly indicates, the award Of the
printing contract is illegal and inval-
i'd
How are Commissioners Riley.
Hedstrom and Personen going to ex.
plain this to their constituents?
Are they also in league to award
contracts illegally?
The Tribune takes this opportun.
ity of suggesting that the states at
torney investigate the matter.
Have affairs come to such a pass
in Burleigh county that its commits
sioners can enter into illegal con.
tracts, pass on their own warrants
and put their hands upon the county
funds in defiance of law?
Let States Attorney Berndt explain
the situation to the tax payers.
II the procedure is legal, the tax
payers should know it and the county
commissioners in question freed from
serious charge.
f On the other hand, il this newspa-
per is owned by county commits
sioner, it can hold no contract from
the county.
The constituents Of Riley, Person.
en- and Hedstrom should see that
their representatives conduct the coun.
tvs business in compliance with the
law.
Let Mr. lBerndt turn on his legal
searchlight and inform the voters.
Silence on his part will leave every
one in the dark.
II the law is violated on printing

THOUSANDS FOR ROADS
MINER COUNTY GETS NEW
EQUIPMENT. ORDERS bitches
AND MANY BRIDGES.

That the standard OF their rural
roads may be brought up at least to
the average. the Miner county board
of commissioners this summe viii
spend thousands of dollars on their
highways, and the county will ex-
pend additional thousands in con
structing drainage bitches Il protect
the roads.
Charles A. Trimmer, civil enPi-
neer, who returned this morning
from Howard. where he was called
county commissioners, said 1t is the
intention TO build two drainage
bitches in the southern part of the
county, about fourteen miles south
west of Howard. One of the bitches
will be about a mile in length and
the other nearly five miles long, and
both will empty into Rock creek, Mr..
Trimmer explained. 1t is said that
while the bitches will drain upward
of 1000 acres of farm land, the prin-
cipal object in constructing them is to
facilitate the improvement of county
roads. The bitches will be Of the
tile type. A couple of more bitches
are to be built later.
Beside engaging in a tremendous
amount of road grading, contracts
have been let by the county for the
building of twenty-seven concrete
bridges. The two bitches as we'll as
the bridges will be completed this
year. Mr.. Trimmer said that the
building of road grades across
sloughs is a waste of money, which
Miner county had come 10 realize.
1t was explained that where water
borders on grades, parts of such
grades are almost invariably destroy
ed within a year, in this section Of
the state. Mr.. Trimmer told that
muskrats undermine such grades and
that there is also damage by water.
He believed that draining is the only
solution.
A good idea of the energy Miner
county is injecting in its rural road
building and improving may be had
from the fact that the county has
had two 40-horsepower gasoline trac-
tors and a large number of scrapers,
dump wagons and two large blade
graders. Friday there arrived two
more graders, possessing the largest
blades it is possible to procure.
Two full crews of graders are to
be engaged throughout the summer.
