New Birth Law Effective Jan. 1.

The last General Assembly of Iowa
enacted a new law as to registration
of births, effective January 1, 1918
One of the provisions of the new law
is that the clerk of the district court
shall inform the people in general il.
his county as to the new law. Thit
newspaper space has, therefore, beer
asked for, in order that the readers o.
this paper may learn of the new law
if they have not already been informt
ed
All persons interested are asked I'd
read the the following two sections OF
the law:
Section S. That for the complete
and proper registration Of births, fol
legal, sanitary and statistical purposeS
the clerk of the district court of eacA
county shall be the county registrar
and it shall be his duty to inform ali
physicians, midwives, should there b
any midwives, and the people in gen
eral in his county that all births mus
be properly reported to the clerk q
the district court -
Sec. 6. That certificate of birth Of
the standard form adopted by the Uni
ted States Census Bureau shall b
made out by the physician, midwife
or other person attending the birth q
every child born in the state of lows
or in default of such person by tht
parent, householder, superintendent
of an institution, or other responsible
person, and filed with the clerk Of thu
district court in the county where thS
child is born within ten (1O) days al
ter birth. In case the child is ntis
named, the clerk of the district courj
| shall deliver supplementary blanI
for report of given name to the person
filing the certificate, to be filled ol'
and returned as soon as the child sh4l
be named, and which shall be attachSt
to the birth certificate of the chi Al
which has been previously reporttt
and mot named.
The difference between the new
law and the old law is principally tha
under the old law births are reported
to the assessors and under the new
law the birth is certified to the clerl
of the district court, within ten day.
| after the BIRTH All births during tn
year, 1917, are to be reported to tn
assessors as heretofore.
| In order to facilitate the work, y
is desired that the child in question
be named before the certificate 81
sent in.

When the War will End

Absolute knowledge l have none;
But my aunt's washerwoman's son
Heard a policeman on his beat
Say to q laborer on the street:
That he had letter, just last week,
Written in the finest Greek,
From a coolie in Timbuctoo,
Who said the negroes in Cuba knew
Of colored man in a Texas town
Who got it straight from a circus Glow
That man in the Klondike heard Il
news !
From gang of South American Jew
About somebody in Borneo
Who heard a man who claimed to kno
Of swell society female rake
Whose mother in law will undertake
To prove that her seventh husband
sisters niece
Has stated In a printed piece
That she has son who has a friend
Who knows when the war is going to en-,
Elk.

Because other towns had a big bonded

OBITUARY.
Flaherty.

Bridget Conry was born at Rich
mond, Va, Sept. "a, 1910, and died
Dec. %, 1917, being II years, 2
months and % days old. She receiv-
ed her education in Baltimore and
came to Iowa with her parents in 1854,
at the age of IA years. In 1860 she
was married to Michael Flaherty. A
large family was born to this union,
most of whom are living.
Her husband died in June, 1894, and
altho % years ago most of the old set
tiers of Howard county remember the
name of Michael Flaherty, as he was
an early pioneer and a man of win
ming character and of remarkable
hospitality for everyone he happened
to meet. Mrs. Flaherty spent her last
years on the old homestead with her
son Frank, but about week before
her death when her health began to
fail she demanded that she be taken
to the home of her daughter Mrs. Pat
Smith near Lawler where she might
receive the care and attention her age
and condition desired, but as her allot-
ted time had arrived no kindness or
medical aid had any influence on the
reaper of time. Her remains were
returned to her old home near
Lourdes to be prepared for burial
where a very large number of friends
S1<J ho~ tn
place in Oour Lady of Lourdes ceme-
terry. Father Hogan officiated and
in his funeral sermon he paid her a
high tribute of respect as one of the
sturdy pioneers of early days that
helped to convert the prairies of To-
wa into the most fertile garden of the
west. The children left to mourn her
death are John of Lourdes, James and
Mrs. Henry Stultz of Vancouver, Can
ada, Thomas of Minneapolis, Edward
of Portland, Ore, Mrs. Smith of Law
Ter, Frank of Lourdes, Mrs. M. j.
Conley of Minneapolis, Glen of Wash
ington and Mrs John Secrecy Of New
Hampton.
We will miss our dear old mother
on each coming Christmas eve and
We'll not forget the blessing at this
time her presence gave.
Now we bow to heavens calling and
the Judge that reigns on high, all we
ask is guide our footsteps till we meet
her bye and bye.
We wish to express our deepest
gratitude to the neighbors and friends
for their kind words and actions and
generous assistance during the sick
ness and death of our dear mother.
