NOT VERY
HOT SUNDAY
Everybody Thought It was, but the
Thermometer In the Chicken
Coop on Top the Post
office Says Not.

Everybody said Sunday was the
hottest day of the summer-but 1t
was really not very hot, the Their
mometer in the Slated box on top
the government building said.
The mercury went only to 60,
which Is two degrees below the 1919
record here and a line that has been
reached several times before. Satur.
day was one degree hotter Satur.
day night about midnight, cool
wave arrived and Sunday morning
was nice and cool, but by noon the
atmosphere was getting all het up
again.
Sunday, Keokuk had the same tenn
perature as Dodge City, North Platte,
Davenport, Dubuque, Kansas City
and Chicago, and it was the highest
temperature in the United States at
that.
That area Of high pressure in the
atmosphere is still sticking over the
Carolinas and Georgia, and the pres
sure is very low over Utah, SO the
heat coming off the West Indies is
pushed right on up to Keokuk these
days.
Continued warm tonight and Tues
day, Is what the weather bureau says
we have coming to us. 1t notes that
there were many thunderstorms be-
tween the Missouri and Mississippi

State Department. Sending Out Warn
ina to Doctors and Officials to
Get Birth Records
Right.
NAMES NOT CHANGED
When Once the Record Has Been Filled
the Name Can Not be Changed
as Has Been Done In
the Past.

URGES CARE m. :. :. $500.
The department of vital statistics
at Des Moines has made the complaint
that there is laxity in the returns or
birth records over the state, and Is
sending out letters to the county
clerks urging them to use their IN
fluence in getting them right.
1t was found In compiling the sta
tistics Of the draft boards during the
period Of the war, that not all the
birth records have been recorded,
much to the discontinue Of some in
dividuals. and steps are being taken
to avoid further similar troubles.
Physicians should make their re-
turns Immediately since the county
officers have to make their report
the first of every month.
Names Cannot Be Changed.
The circular also states that names
cannot be changed when once the
return has been made as has been the
case IN the past.
The text Of the letter follows:
Hereafter there will be no
changing Of names on birth GER
tificates when once received in
the office of the state registrar.
Physicians and all others filing
birth certificates with the clerk
of court must see to it that all
information is correct, and the
child born properly named.
II the child has not been nam
ed, supplemental report may be
sent in within short period CIV
ing the name of the child. The
birth must be reported within ten. i.
days. These directions must be
followed, and remember no names
will be allowed to be changed

Some Governing Details.

The reason for the small mileage OF
primary roads in Des Moines county Is
said to be that there are no towns 10
the north or south with which Bur-
lington should be connected, while
there is no Iowa territory to the east
Of that city
Only two counties in iowa have less
miles of primary road than Des
Moines county.
The popular idea seems to be to put
as much mileage as is desirable into
the primary, state and federal AID,
system in the very beginning, as 1t
will stay there without cost and be
there, should it become desirable to
pave it in the future at any time.

THE state highway commission have
determined upon the roads which are

Primary Roads In Lee.
The primary roads In Lee county
run from Keokuk to the Henry county
line where Is now the Red Ball route,
and from the Des Moines county line
south through Fort Madison and
Montrose along the lake shore at the
lower end of that road, with con-
iecting link or two, as the one across
from Mt. Clara to Montrose down the
Hatton hill.
But out Of that long length of pri-
mary roads, only the four miles be-
tween Fort Madison and the Santa Fe
crossing. and the other mile or two
beyond the county farm, will be built
the first year.
The law requires that the primary
roads connect the principal cities, of
which Lee county has two, while most
counties have one. Hence Lee county
has more mileage in the primary road
system than any other county in the
first congressional district.
