to the Department of State as having
occurred in the State of Michigan
during the month Of April, 1919. This
number corresponds to an annual
death rate of $50 per 700 estimated
population. In addition to the above
there were 28l stillbirths returned
as deaths.
BY ages, there were 651 deaths of
infants under one year of age; 242
deaths of children aged / to A years
both inclusive; and 1,277 deaths of
elderly persons, aged 65 years and
over. The number of deaths of in
fants under one year of age and of
elderly persons materially decreased
March.
I'm portant causes of death were as
follows: Pulmonary tuberculosis.
25S; other tubercular causes, So; ty
phoid fever, 10; diptheria and Group.
70; scarlet fever, 10; measles, IL;
,whcoping cough, 9; pneumonia and
broncho-pneumonia, 418; enteritis.
under two years, ~; meningitis. 26 |,
Influenza, 239; cancer, 214; violence.
iS5. A considerable decrease is noted
In the influenza and pneumonia deaths
as compared with the month immed-
lately preceding. Among the deaths
reported from violence were IL rail
way; III electric railway; 20 automi-
bile; 8 drowning and confiagration
accidents. There were also 6 homi-
cidal deaths and % suicides.
In addition to the important causes
noted above, there were 2 deaths from
smallpox; / from tetanus; / from pei
iagra and one from poliomyelitis.
The different State institutions
Hospitals and asylums) reported
deaths as follows: Ann Arbor, 20;
Kalamazoo, 80; Lapeer, g.; Pontiac.
II; traverse City, Is; Newberry, z:
Soldiers Home, 10; Wayne County
House, SO; Wahjameba, /. The death
rates for cities in which the above in
situations are located in Table in
clude all deaths, transient and Others.
In majority of instances the transi-
ent deaths should not be charged to
the particular city in which institu-
ton is located. Following are cor
rected rates for cities with deaths
occurring in institutions deducted:
Traverse City, Ga; Ann Arbor. 1871;
Kalamazoo, 100; Lapeer, 1870; Ponti-
&C, 15.9.
The distribution of deaths referred
to above by counties and cities as
well as by the most important causes
of death may be seen in Tables shown
in the Monthly Bulletin of Vital Sta
tistics, which is published by the De-
partment, and is for free distribution.
Upon referring to the table by
counties, we find that the greatest
apparent mortality occurred in the
county of Luce, with a rate CT 37.9
per 1000 estimated population. The
counties of Baraga and Roscommon
report that no deaths occurred in their
counties during the month of April.
Wavne county. with rate Of 400 per
1000 estimated population, shows the
highest birth rate. These rates. how
ever, are subject to further analysis
before definite conclusions should be
drawn, as the population figures used
for determining such rates are based
on the 1910 census.
There were 6.90S births during the
month of April. This number Ger
responds to an annual birth rate of
26.1 per 1000 estimated population.
A decrease of 256 births is noted as
compared with the month Immediate
ly preceding. In addition to the above
there were 274 stillbirths reported as
births.

SERVICE MEN ARE URGED
TO CONTRIBUTE RECORDS.

Charles Kelsey, secretary of the
community labor board, who has
charge Of the compilation of Baraga
county records of men in the service
during the Great war, asks that re-
turning soldiers. sailors and marines
cooperate with him in making these
records complete.
The boys are coming in fairly well
with their data, but compiling the rec
ords of SO many men is some job, and
it will aid the progress Of the work
and be great favor to Mr.. Kelsey, if
the soldiers and sailors now home
from France, camps and stations will
call upon him in the near future and
have their history written up. This
will prevent a piIing up of work later
ON when the great body of overseas
men and others who have been delayed
begin to arrive home.
Too much stress can not be laid on
the fact that this is the official state
ard county record to which references
must be made in years to come. This
compilation is not Of commercial
nature--there will be no books offered
for sale-the government will not al
low the director to impart any of theh
accumulated data to individuals who
may. write up histories. The county
is directly responsible to the
state director and to Governor Sleep
er, who is chairman of the Michigan
War Board. Therefore, it is Of the
utmost Importance that all Of our Bar
aga county men who are eligible
should be so recorded. It is a duty
a man owes to himself and to his pos
terity, that his loyalty during the
great war be officially established and
recorded where it cannot be ques-
toned.
Some Of those who were born five
or ten years after the Civil War end
ed recollect that even then controver-
sizes arose along the lines of pension
claims and questions OF patriotism,
and we are sure the Spanish War vet
Grams realize, from their own instanc-
20, the value Of an Official rating such
as the one under way. In the mo-
mentous times ahead Of US a record Of
loyalty will be a great asset-to be
able to present proofs---a real salts
faction.

The Owl Restaurant in the Menard

will appreciate the patronage Of the
public in his particular line, promis-
ing courtesy and satisfaction all

welcome at the Owl Restaurant.-ad-

German advance. The first night we
went out six-inch shell exploded in
the. middle of a platoon Of men, wound
ing four of them. I did not know
much about first aid work, but
dressed them with shell-wound dress
ings the best way / could in the dark.
We couldn't light any matches and my
clothes and hands were full of blood,
besides being half scared to death my
self. / got three Of them in alive and
the other man died on the stretchers.
! did not have to carry them; had
four stretcher bearers. Well, it went
on a couple Of nights. Nobody got
hurt and the next night one fellow got
killed outright and one stretcher bear
er and l got completely buried. We
were lying in trench tnd the shell
exploded on the edge, killed that fell
low and buried Morris and I. We
WE'RE splitting sand and gravel for
two days afterwards. We got two
meals day under cover of darkness,
10 p. m. and 3 a. m, and dug trenches
between these meals, which were
brought to us in big cans by mule
cart. Some nights we would not get
anything, as a shell had killed both
driver and mule. Next night there
was new outfit, drivers, mule and
cart. We were relieved on the 9th of
July. Have ben on four other fronts
after and never got wounded-only
got finger grazed by machine gun

Prussian Guard belt, two iron cross

LETTERS FROM OUR
BOYS ~OvER THERE.
Bendorf. Germany.
March 5, 1919.


March 5, 1919.
Mr.. August Gilman,
Skanee, Mich.
Dear Friend:
I was thinking that it would be in
teresting for you to know where am
at and where have been since / left
Skanee. Today is the 9Th of March,
exactly year since I left old Skanee
behind, and am quite ways from
the old burg right now.
! am in little town called Bendorf,
near Coblenz, on the Rhine river in
Germany, and have been here since
December 18th, 1918, about three
months. AS soon as / came into the
army I was placed in the medical de-
partment, given few weeks train
ing and sent across the pond. When
we struck France we were sent up to
the front right away, as they were
terribly shore of medical corps men,
and l was sent to the 9th Infantry,
known as the Fighting Ninth, and
attached to Co. of the 3rd Battal-
ion as "First Aid Man." The 9th
Infantry belonged to the End Division
which already had good fighting rec
ord and had been on two fronts only,
this being the third when came to
them the 18th of June. They had al
ready stopped Germany's victory"
drive which threatened Paris, and
were now just holding the line here
At hateau Thierry is where the "Ma-
rines" won their fame, which you
have read so much about. You see
the End Division is composed of a
regiments Of infantry, the 9th and 9Th
u. S. Marine Corps and the 9th and
23rd Infantry. So when the news
came out about the Chateau Thierry
front it was only the u. S. Marine
Corps,-they could not mention the
9th and c3rd on account Of censorship.
We did just as much as the Marines.
/ thought it was living hell at first.
For 38 days lived in little hole in
the ground called "dugout" to keep
safe from pieces of flying shell called
shrapnel. l thought / would live
about two days When / got up there.
There was constant rumble and roar
Of artillery and the ground trembled
almost all day long. My company
went out almost every night digging

entire Citizens tirket won out IN the
township of L'Anse can be taken only
as an endorsement Of the old admins
tration, and as a vindicatiun OF the
charges which have from time to time
appeared in the u. P. Farmer against
the loyalty Of Supervisor Nflsen.
The fact that the ladies turned out
in force makes it all the more conclus-
i've. The splendid support received
by the lady candidate reflects no
small credit on the good Judgment of
the voters as whole.

Say, isn't our little friend Ruth

discharge Of a pressman.
According to. an announcement by
the Star, S. B.. Marks, of Chicago, third

stated that Mr.. Marks had upheld the
Stars proposal that -four other press
men. who. In the judgment Of the Star,
