REGISTER OF BIRTHS
FOUND INCOMPLETE
Weighing and Measuring of Babies
Now in Progress in U. s. I'm
peded by Carelessness.

The weighing and measuring test
of babies under six which is going
forward in thousands of communities
as first step in saving 100000 lives
during children's year has shown the
women who are organizing the work
and the communities in which it is be-
ing done that the municipal register
of births is not as complete as it must
be if the local officials are to have
records of all children who are born
in their neighborhood.
In New Orleans, for instance, the
test started with a house to house
canvass to find all the children under
six. In several other places chairman
have reported it is their intention to
take this means of locating children.
Such a canvass, which is but Incl
dental to the weighing and measuring
test, is part of the procedure recon-
mended by the Children's Bureau of
the United States Department of La
Dor to test birth registration. House
to house canvasses have been neces-
sary as preliminaries to the Child
ren's Bureau intensive studies of in
FAINT mortality. When the result of
such canvasses are compared with the
lists of registered births on file at
the office of the local board of health
it is possible to learn the percent of
births not being registered.
The Children's Bureau has received
reports of more than $4,000 births
whic have been looked up by volun-
teer workers investigating birth reg
isteration. Twen-two percent of the
births investigated were found to be
not registered The tests were conduc-
ted in 81 states and more than 400
cities.
Parents, community and the child it
self profit by having the baby's birth
registered. And prompt registration
makes it possible for the public health
nurse to render more efficient service
to the community. 1t may enable her to
reach promptly baby who would die
without her care.
The child himself as he grows older
may have many different reasons for
needing to prove how old he is, and
his birth certificate is certain proof.
When he is old enough to come within
the compulsory education laws it en-
ables him to prove his right to school
ing. While he is young enough to be
protected from labor which would
harm him physically and prevent his
gettin his share Of education his birth
certificate is his protection. When he
wants an insurance policy, a marriage
license, or a passport he can prove his
right to them by his birth certificate.
Complete birth and death register
alton assumes the community of accu-
rate knowledge of the most sensitive
index of it's well being-the infant
death rate. With that guide it can
guard the lives of its citizens as
they must be guarded if the lives Of
100000 children are to be saved dur
ing Children's Year.

GRASSHOPPERS MENACE
CROPS OF UNION FIELD
MID VALLEY SECTION

Grasshoppears are becoming quite
numerous in that portion Of the Ce-
dar Valley embracing the bottom of
the Union Field and the farms in what
is known as Midvalley. In fact, they
are so much in evidence that they are
believed by the farmers in that sec
ton to seriously menace the grain
crop, and measures are being taken
to poison them. For this purpose a
large quantity of bran and Paris green
is being used. Some of the effects of
the work of the pest are visible, and
agriculturalists of that locality were
becoming alarmed.
Just how effectual the poisoning is
proving cannot be judged at this time.

SMUT CONTROL EFFECTS '
LARGE SAVING

WASHINGTON, July ia staff
of 40 field men of the United States
Department of Agriculture, under the
direction of 8 leaders, is conducting a
campaign for the control of SHUTS
and other preventable cereal IN the
Northern and Western States. The
field men work in conjunction with
States agencies, county agents, and
other farm advertisers in conducting
seed-treatment denominations before
farmers organizations, m ova b e
schools, county and township high
schools, and city organizations. EN-
phasis is placed on the treatment OF
preventable smuts of wheat, oats,
barley, rye, and grain sorghums. The
work thus far conducted in the terri
tory mentioned probably has resulted
in the treatment Of 80 per cent Of all
the seed wheat, oats, and barley sown.
This means a probable saving, ac-
cordmg to the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, of not less than
10000, goo bushels of wheat, 25,0O0,-
O09 bushels of oats, and 100000
bushels Of barley.

Will Be Paid For Evidence That
Either the Elkins or Davis
Families Ever Owned Vir-
ginia Bonds

To The Voters of West Virginia.
The Secret Service agents of two of
the candidates opposing Major Davis
EIxins are circulating the report that
Major Eikins is the owner of Virginia
debt bonds.
The late Senator Stephen B. Elkins
never owned single Virginia debt
bond; the estate of Stephen B. Elkins
does not own any Virginia debt bond;
not member of the Elkins family
owns a Virginia debt bond and none
Of the parties mentioned above ever
did own a Virginia debt bond
Upon inquiries from the executors
of the Senator Davis estate, amin
formed that Senator Davis never
owned any Of these bonds; therefore,
these reports being circulated by the
AGENTS of Mr. Highland and Mr..
Hughes are positively false and with
out foundation, ard are being made
by their agents for the purpose Of
efrecting the candidacy of Major Davis
Elkins, who is in the army serving
his country and unable to protect
himself against these false rumors. :.

pointed in January, 1911, by Governor
w. e. Glasscock to succeed his father,
the late Senator Stephen B. Elkins,
Major Elkins served % days in the
United States Senate, making the re.
markable record of having every bill
he introduced in that time passed by
both Senate and House and approved
by the President. In the brief time
he was in the office he did not intro
duce many measures, but with two
bills introduced he has two laws to
his credit, record of 100 per cent
efficiency, which is seldom, if ever,
equalled in the Senate
In addition to this, Major Elkins
undertook to push through the Senate
several bills which had been intro
duced by his father, aiding worthy
West Virginians, with the result that
he succeeded in passing ID of them
through the Senate, of which eleven
became laws He had five bills intro
duced by his father in settlement of
claims against the government re-
ferred by the Senate to the Court OF
Claims, procedure necessary before
settlement could be made by Con

Major Elkins is a business man, ac-
customed to business methods, and
when he undertakes a proposition he
pushes it in a business-like manner
How attentively and successfully he
attended to business when he was
Senator is shown by his record, which
may be obtained from the Senate rec
ords and documents. This is the best
evidence that he will be attentive and
faithful in the performance of his Sen
atorial duties again, if he is nominated
and elected. His record, of which he
is Justly proud, should be sufficient
guaranty of what his course in the Sen,
ate would be if he were called upon to
serve there a second time.
The record of bills introduced by
Major Elkins while in the Senate is
as follows:
