One of the things noted during the
recent series of Child Welfare Confer
iences in Prowers county was the fact
that many times the mother was not
sure that her child's birth had been
registered. Often she wondered of
what value registration is. Many
questions were answered regarding
birth registration but let us review a
few of the points. They may help
some mother who did not come to the
conference. Here are a few reasons
for registering your baby
l. Values to him individually; legal
establishment Of his birthright-(a)
When he goes to school; (b) When he
may legally do certain kinds of work;
(c) When he may cast his ballot; (d)
When he may become a Representa-
tive, Senator, or President; (e) When
a girl has reached the age of consent;
(f) When she is old enough to handle
property or if she must have a guar
dian; (g) To obtain passport for for
eign travel.
2. Value to tho Nation; to furnish
accurate data from which we may
know how TO plan for better health

Observation on Nom Partisan League
Mrs. Mary Pierce, who has recently
returned home from 4 visit with rela-
tives in North Dakota, tells some in
teresting facts connected with Non
Partisan League rule in that section
of the country. She visited her sister
ir New England, town of from 500
10 1000 inhabitants, just thirty miles
from Dickinson, which has 5000 in
habitants. In the town of New Eng
land, the people voted en- closing the
public schools because of lack of funds,
but by a close vote 1t was decided to
keep them open. Fifty-six banks have
closed in the state Of North Dakota
and three of them closed in a radius
of thirty miles within three days
while Mrs. Pierce was there. The peo-
pie are wearing old clothes, have sold
their fine cnrs, and everything looks
gloomy. One friend of Mrs. Pierce
lost s22, 900 in one of the hanks.
DR.. George Sarchette. who was a
captain in the World War, is at the
head of a hospital there. He did q
business of $4,000 last year. He still
has $4,000 en- his books, having col
lected but $1,000. Mrs. Sarchette is
Mrs. Pierce'3 sister, and IT was at her
home that Mrs. Pierce was a guest.
Before the Non-Partisans began their
activities. this portion of North Da-
kota was exceedingly prosperous
fine farming country-but at present
everything IS in a state of chaos. Mrs.
Pierce says there are few people left
who still favor the league, the maid
at her sisters home having told her
that her people were all earnest advo-
