UNITED STATES CENSUS !
BUREAU Is INVESTIGATING
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH

AS we go to press the United States
Census Bureau have a number of men
at work at the office of the State Board
CT Health, checking up the reports sent
in from this county and others of
births. This is being done to find out If
our State is reporting a sufficiently
large number OF births to be admittc1
to the registration area of the Nation.
The Census Bureau makes an estimate
OF births, which should occur in
given State from the vast number that
are reported throughout the country.
This percentage must lie attained be-
foTo we can be allowed to coue in and
qualify. The Bureau of Vial Stats.
tics, under DR.. Davis, has already reach
ed the goal required for deaths, and
now hopes that we may be admitted in
FULL
Our people do not give enough at
tention to this matter Every BIRTH
should be Immediately reported by the
physician or midwife, and if not done
by them it should be done by the par-l
ents. If you will report this birth to
Dr.. Davis, and ask for 1t, Baby Book
will be sent you by the Bureau of Child
Hygiene. If the birth was reported by
the physician, as the law directs, you
should ask DR.. Alice Moses for the
Baby Book.
There are two things that you should
be sure is done when the baby comes,
have the drops put into its eyes, and
the report of its birth sent in. This re-
port is tabulated at the Capitol, in.
dexed, the report bound in a book and
locked in a fire-proof safe for the pro-
lection of your child.

GETTING TOGETHER

THE earth and the fullness there
Of" is the primary source of capital.
The farmer, therefore, is the nations
greatest producer OF wealth. Farm
ing and banking-production and dis
tribution-should go hand In hand.
The problems of the farmer are the
problems of the banker. Both are
vitality concerned in bringing about
a proper adjustment of transportation
and marketing costs. The increasing
tendency toward a more sympathetic
understanding of each others rela'
ton to these problems is one of the
very encouraging signs of the times,
and will result in further advance
ment Of their mutual interests.-Wal
ter w. Head, First Vice President
American Bankers Association.

understand and assist in SOWING
these problems II he is to succeed
In this new role-asI business man
the farmer steadily has advanced
to a better position.
There was a time when the FARMER
was dependent wholly upon private
marketing agencies, whose interest
was not always identical with his own,
whose greed for profits sometimes out
matched consideration OF the farmers
need. Today there are many great
cooperative marketing organizations
that handle a large part OF the tarm'
er's crop and win for him more liberal
treatment from the private agencies
which still handle the bulk OF his pro-
duction.
Today the farmer also has his own
cooperative agencies OF credit. II not
satisfied with the terms upon when
his local capitalist is willing TO al
vance money upon land mortgage
the farmer can go directly to the Fed
eral Land Bank, which, by reason OF
tax-exemption and other advantages
Incidental to it's governmental chhr'
acter, can loan money at rock-bnt'
tom rate of interest.
In addition, the federal government
has established another group OF
banks which permit the local bankers
by rediscount privileges-to extend
the farmer credit for his current oper
a4ions on more favorable basis thar
ever before. If he thinks his local
bank is not sufficiently responsive to
his need, this same legislation enables
him to join with other farmers in a
cooperative marketing association
and arrange for credit direct from the
government banks.
New Credit Facilities
For years 1t has been the farmer
complaint-with considerable 1ustlilca
tion-that he, alone of all producers
has been forced to market his croI
on the buyers terms because OF his
inability to use his products, in stor
age, as a basis for credit. Today the
agricultural credits act authorizes the
acceptance OF warehouse receipts, or
non-perishable agricultural products
as collateral for loans, the same as II
the case Of sugar or other commo1i
ties of commerce.
These developments have relieved
the farmer from what seemed to be
persecution by short-sighted, tight
listed, grasping grain dealers, land
lords and bankers-for there were
some bankers who were guilty OF tn
very thing, who thought of the farm
er principally as a weak and Ignorant
opponent in a game whose only stake
was the collection of a high rate o.
interest. The farmers suspicion of the
banker arose because of misunder
standing, because he judged banker:
as a class by the derelictions of few
Today, with these sources Of govern
ment-controlled credit available at his
call, the farmer cannot charge or ever
suspect that the bankers are conspir
ing to do him harm.
AS the real farmer has taken advan
tage of these opportunities, he has
made himself business man. Like
other successful business men, he Is
equipped with credit to finance his
operations, he is able to make use o.
labor.saving machinery, he is able tt
barter with buyers of his products as
their equal.

TIE trouble is that lot of folks

DREAM or MANY INVENTORS
Much Time and Thought Wasted on
Machines Meant to Attain
Perpetual Motion.

Perpetual motion has been the
dream Of inventors for many cen
turtles. By perpetual motion is usually
meant q mechanical device which will
operate of its own power without such
external or internal aids as wind, gas,
steam or any other element Of force.
Some have come very near to attain
ing kind of perfection by series
of weights and balances; also by the
use of quicksilver, but while these
machines will operate for time, they
are unable in that time to develop
sufficient power to work machinery or
be of any real benefit. In the town Of
NIinnedosa, Man., an old gentleman
had for some years a machine of his
own invention operated by series of
weights by which he was said to have
run a small lathe. A scientist named
Strut has invented an apparatus
which takes advantage of radium
emanations upon a gold leaf electro
scope This perhaps comes near TO
an endless motion, but is maintained
at the expense Of the molecular en-
rrgy Of the radium.
Patience is the art, or rather the
practice, Of enduring human stupidity.
No wonder cyclists find the world
SO ugly, they see only themselves in it.
There is more fatigue in laziness
than in labor. Someone has said: It's
the things we don't do that tire us
most.
The excuses of our youth are drafts
upon our maturity, payable with inter-
est about thirty years after date.
