AGAIN URGES
REGISTRATION
DIR. Whittemore Tells of
Importance of 1t

The fourth week of the state
health department campaign for
100 percent birth and death regis
tration shows results that are very
encouraging and it looks now as if
North Dakota will stand the gov
eminent test for being admitted into
the registration area. During the
first Is days Of the month one clerk
doing nothing else could not open
the mail and sort it.
"For fear that there are still
some of you who do not yet know
that the State Department of
Health is making an effort to be
admitted to the registration of the
United States for births and deaths
and that we expect the test to be
made for the months of June, July and
August, we will describe the won
derful prize we are offering" says
DR.. A. A. Whittemore, State Health
Officer
"For every child born in the
county, having the best record dur
ing this contest, we will issue a
beautifully engraved birth certifi-
cate, large enough to be framed and
having the signatures of the local
registrar, the state registrar, and
the President of the State Health
Council and also the Governor of
the State.
"Can any mother afford to neglect
being sure that her childs birth is
recorded?
Every death should also be re-
corded with the registrar where the
death occurred. No body can be
buried in this state without first
obtaining burial permit from the
registrar where the death occurred.
he cannot issue this permit until
properly made out death certificate
has been I'll led with him. No sexton
or cemetery authority is allowed to
bury body without this permit.
The sexton should indorse upon the
back of the burial permit the date
and place of burial and file it with
the registrar where the burial was
made. There is heavy penalty
provided by law for the violation of
his and other health laws and reg
ulations."

STATES MILL
HURTS COOP
Sentinel Butte Flour Mill
Passes Dividend,

The Sentinel Butte Cooperative
Milling Company, which flourished
Cor some years, failed to pay divi-
bends this year, the reason assigned
by the president of the company
being competition of the state owned
state-operated mill at Grand Forks
The cooperative enterprise, which
has about 300 stockholders in Billings
and Golden Valley counties, is about
10 years old. Before the World
War it paid 10 per cent dividends
and 100 per cent stock dividend
also was declared, the mill COM
pany then being under the presidency
of Joseph A. Kitchen, now commits
sioner of Agriculture and Labor.
Since the state mill entered into
competition the mill has paid no
dividend, although its balance sheet
for the past fiscal year, ending in
July. shows assets of $1O,884.36 and
liabilities of $9,455.53.
II wish that something could be
done to bar the~-state mill sales
men coming here" said F. ]. o.
Rourke of near Beach, now presi-
dent of the mill. "They come and
cut the price trying to put our mill
out of business, underselling us and
losing the taxpayers money to do
it,"
The mill will continue in opera
ton, according to Mr.. Kitchen, who,
with his wife, is a heavy stakeholder
in the cooperative enterprise. He
feels, however, that the operation of
the state mill has proved hard
blow to such cooperative institutions
as the Sentinel Butte mill.

WOULD HAVE
AIR MAIL IN
ALL SECTIONS
DakOtan, Who Has Been
Plotting Air Mail Plane in
Alaska, Visits in N. ID.

Hatton, N. d., July 21.-Carl b
Eielson, Alaska's first air mail pilot
who has been making periodical
flights every two weeks, carrying
mail from Fairbanks to McGrath
| Alaska, arrived at his home here a
few days ago for two weeks visit
with relatives before going on to
Washington, d. c., to ask establish
ment of permanent and extended
aerial mail service in the territory.
The Dakotan sprang into the public
eye last February when he success,
fully completed the first airplane
flight from Fairbanks to McGrath,
Alaska, a distance of about 800 mics,
carrying mail which it would have
taken three days for a dog team to
deliver. He made the first round
trip flight in nine hours flying time,
but has since reduced the time to
hours and as minutes.
10 Trips Successfully Accomplished
Ten timcs-once every two weeks
Eielson has made the Fairbanks
McGrath flight without serious mis-
hap, except on the first trip when he
became lost for short time and flew
80 miles off his course.
II believe l have clearly demon
strated that aerial mail service in
Alaska is not only feasible, but neces-
sary," says Mr.. Eielson. 81 am con-
fident the postal department will sue
coed in establishing a permanent
service that will reach all important
points in the territory"
Highest Paid Mail Carrier
Eielson is the highest paid mail
carrier employed by Uncle Sam. He
gets 81 mile. But his service is
cheap at the price, says postal Off
Gals, as it formerly cost $1,O22 to
send the mail by dog team from Fair
banks to McGrath.
Besides carrying mail, Eielson has
transported several sick men to
hospitals perhaps saved their lives
or else brought physician to them,
it being comparatively easy for him
to reach inland points inaccessible
by river or trail.
The Indians have nicknamed the
intrepid Dakotan, "Moose Ptarmigan,"
which literally interpreted means
"huge grouse"
Mr.. Eielson expects to return to
Alaska in about two months, regard
less of the governments decision con-
corning permanent air mail service.
