Only About Half Of These Have Ever
Been Recorded in Lee County,
Chile Labor Law
Reveals.
SHOULD REMIND DOCTOR
Parents Should Demand Registration
Officials Also Bothered Over
Failure to Make Re-
turns Of Weddings.

Because OF the failure of physicians
in Keokuk and Lee county to report
the visit Of the stork to the proper
officials, the birth records of Lee
county are practically worthless.
Not one-half of the births in the
county have ever been recorded. This
was found when the new child labor
law became effective. and it was
necessary to have the dates Of births
on the working certificates. People
went to the clerks Office to secure
the records and found that less than
a half of the births In the county had
been reported to the assessor, as the
law provides.
Physicians are running the risk OF
prosecution for this failure to report
births, 1t is understood. 1t Is also
suggested by the Lee county officials
that parents get after the doctors
right now and have them record the
proper birth statistics OF all OF their
children. This would help to correct
the evil, and would aid in checking
up these certificates for the child
labor law.
The birth records are supposed to
be reported to the assessor. He will
make out the proper returns and q

flee.
Forget Marriage Returns.
Another matter which frequently
causes trouble for the clerk Is the
failure OF ministers and magistrates
to send in the marriage returns as
the law provides they shall. These
should be returned within fifteen
days. At the present time there are
two licenses, one issued in May and
one in March, on which the minister
has made no return. UP until week
ago there were several without prop
er returns. These have since had the
returns made.
Those on which no return has been
made are George Wilson and Nellie
White, Des Moines, and Andrew
Scott and Lottie Holt, Keokuk. The
licenses were issued May % and
March "a, respectively. The contract
ing parties should see to 1t that the
minister makes the proper return.
The person marrying these couples
is liable under the law for not max
ing the returns. Fifteen days is the
limit before making the return.

A MOST USEFUL OFFICIAL

Redlands, a town in California, established the office of municipal fly catcher, and appointed man to fill it, year ago. That official acts on a single observed fact--that is, that flies instinctively fly upward and to- ward light. On this basis he con- structed large trap-a screened frame, twelve inches square and over two feet in night. He raised this two inches from the ground, and put in the bottom a cone-shaped screen, large end downward. Under the cone he placed banana skin. He nailed the cone contraption to post on a street corner, and the flies did the rest.
 Tn the first month, from the one hundred traps that he scattered through the business section of Red lands, the official flycatcher had emp tied and burned fifty gallons of flies. That means not far from four million flies.
 There are now five hundred of these fly traps in Redlands, and according to the residents, all the flies in Red lands were in them last summer.

J. \. LAND HOLDINGS
 WILL BE INCREASED

Steps to increase the land holdings of the University ot Arizona, by S,869.S6 acres are being taken by State Land Commissioner W. A. Moeur. It is hoped that this area can be added to the university's fifty seven sections of timber land in Co., conino county, which have already turned $110,000 into the permanent fund of that institution.
 In 1881 the national congress passed bill granting each of several territories seventy-two sections of land for university purposes. Arizona was one of those territories and tim Der land in what is now Coconino county was selected. But 8,869.S6 acres of the selection was rejected because it was on unsurveyed land Years later the rejected land was in cluded in the Coconino national forest.
 For some reason no steps were taken to select any land in lieu of that which was rejected. The matter was forgotten long time until the land commissioner discovered that the university was entitled to more land. The matter was taken up with Congressman Carl Hayden, who went to the interior department and found that the grant law was still in force and that a lieu selection might still be made. He has so informed Com missioner Moeur, who is now plan ming to make the selection.

THE PACIFIST

The Pacifst would raise no beans,
 Or other garden fruits, f Because he'd learned from Magazines They sprout little SHOOTS. He'd have no grass upon his place Because it reached his ears That grass first showed it's verdant face
 In countless little SPEARS. And flowers, too, the man eschewed-- It seemed so very sad
 That every bud and blossom rude A hidden PISTOL had.
 As far as his religion went, He left it in the lurch,
 Lest from his peace-views he be bent By CANONS of the church. For pigs he left his fellow-man, Though mankind he adored,
 For some one told him that the PEN
 Was mightier than the SWORD. His daily tasks he ne'er began, Thus leaving all undone, Because beginning them, poor man,
 He feared they be beGUN.
 On living high the man was bound,
 Though every bill wrench meant, Because all through his life he'd found
 A TRENCH in each retrenchment. And saddest part of all, poor chap, Despite their wondrous charms, He pushed his babies off his lap Because they were IN ARMS. John Kendrick Bangs

 It seems strange at this late day, it is stated in the course of the brlef, ito hear a claim made that the state and national government guarantee to a citizen the right to possess and receive liquor for personal use and to drink the same in unlimited quan- titles. Ii such had been the case, 1t is difficult to see how any sort ot prohibitory law could have been sus- tained, since all of them have di- rect tendency to reduce or prevent the use of intoxicating beverages, ana 1t is the purpose of all of them to pro- mote temperance by the prevention o1 the consumption of intoxicants. fhls purpose has found repeated expression in adjudged cases.
 If a citizen of state has a right to obtain intoxicating liquors tor ms own use in any quantity, or in un- limited quantities, it would seem to follow he should at least have the right to manufacture such liquor for his own use from the products of his own labor, and yet it is settled that he had no such right"

 Help me to live so that I can lie down at night with clear conscience, without gun under my pillow, and unhaunted by the faces of those to whom have brought pain.

 "Keep me young enough to laugh with my children and to lose myself in their way.

WARMING NATIONS BREAK
 ALL INTERNATIONAL LAWS

Mir. Theodore Woolsey, former pro lessor of international law at Yale university (father of T. s. Woolsey, Jr., of this city), has publicly called attention to the supreme lawlessness of the great belligerents engaged in carrying on the European war, says the March issue of the World Court. Students of international law, he asserts, must agree that Germany and Great Britain, in the course of war operations, have broken just about every law that enywise stood between them and their ambition. The long strides taken by international law since the regime of Napoleon seem to have been lost. Methods of warfare which bore strong humanizing ear marks have entirely reverted to the barbarity of darker ages. The vaunt- ed respect for neutrals has been snuffed out like candle. The holy grail is lost, and there will have to be a new quest if it is to be recovered.
 Neutral rights" declares Dr. Wool- sey, "are no longer regarded. The world is full of plotting and espion- age, of explosion and arson, of du- picity and treachery, of suffering and death; and civilization, which means the reign of law, sinks below the bloody horizon. A law unenforced does not survive, but when penalty follows violation of the law, no mat ter how often the law is broken, it is triumphant. So it is with the law of nations"
 And to enforce the laws of nations? Well, there must be world court. Dr. Woolsey concludes. An interna- tional tribunal empowered to distrib- ute justice, meting out such punish ment as crimes against the laws of nations seem to merit.-Albuquerque Herald.

A congressman received almost daily letters from a constituent ask ing for garden-seed, with emphasis on peas. The demand for peas got so heavy that the congressman was moved to write this letter:
 q am sending you a half dozen more packages of peas as requested. Say, what are you trying to do down there, plant the whole state in peas ?'
 The reply came few days later. It read:
 "No, I'm not planting them, but they make bully soup. Send along some more"

Hice and Mrs. Albert Greeley received
O telephone message from relatives IN
Stratford announcing the death by
drowning early yesterday Of their sis
ter-in- law, Mrs T. T. Angstrom, who
lived on a farm three miles north Of
StraHord on the Des Monies river.
All the particulars were not ascsr-
tanned over the phone, but as near as
could be learned, Mrs. Angstrom's hus-
band. DR. T. T. Angstrom, who Is a
veterinary, left the farm home on a
call early about o'clock and return
ing to the house some time in the fore-
noon found the morning housework
still undone ard his wife absent. Aft
er calling for her about the house and
barnyard, he went down along the riv-
err which flows thru the barnyard and
there saw the body of his wife floating
near the river bank. It was so near
that he pulled 1t out without assist
ance.
The supposltion is that his wife. who
was fond Of strolling along the river
and of fishing, must have gone down
to the river and there been seized by
one Of her attacks of heart failure, to
which she was subject and fallen into
the water where she drowned.
Mrs. Angstrom leaves beside her
