Along the route of the new

Of men, women and children.
The bus would stop. The

waited hours for buses with
vacant seats on the upper deck.
Others rode for hours.
And after nightfall. young
couples took the place Of the par

VITAL STATISTICS
CHECKED BY OFFICER

A check made the first of this
week by L. L. Benepe of the Bureau
of Vital Statistics of the State Board
of Health showed that only a5ouI
rs per cent of the births and ap.
proximately 80 per cent of the
deaths occurring in Roosevelt coun-
ty are being reported. This mean
that one out of every four births and
one of every five deaths has not been
properly recorded during the first
ten months of 1925. The average
for fifteen counties and cities check
ed SO far this year SO per cent of the
deaths and 86.7 per cent of the
births are on record.
Few people realize the importance
and necessity of filing birth and
death records. The requests to the
state office indicate that a birth re-
cord may be necessary to prove citi-
zenship, school age, age under the
child labor laws, age of accounta-
bility for misdemeanors, age of con-
sent to marry, age Of majority to
make contracts, age for military SER
vice, right Of inheritance, right to
hold public office, race and relation
ships, nationality in foreign coun-
tries, qualifications for jury service,
to secure a passport, to prove minor
dependents for veterans and widows
pensions.
A death record may be necessary
to establish: Facts in court, fact and
cause of death for life insurance,
rights to a pension, rights to an in
heritance, property rights.
Since January, 1928, the Bureau
of Vital Statistics has sent to each
mother a notification of birth regis
tration when a birth certificate is
received at the bureau. Any mother,
who has not received one of these
notifications may be reasonably sure
that her baby's birth is not on re-
cord in the state files. If such is the
case she should inquire of Judge
Gordon for the Wolf Point district,
DR.. E. R. Fouts for Poplar and vi
cinity, DR.. C. j. Munich for gilbert
son, DR.. D. M. Sayles for Bainville,
DR.. F. L. Darland of Froid, or write
directly to the State Board of
Health at Helena.

POST OFFICES CLOSE
ALL DAY CHRISTMAS

If Postmaster General New has his
way about it, Christmas Day this
year is going to be the biggest and
the best for all employees of the pos
tai service and especially for the ev-
er-faithful letter carriers.
He has issued orders to post mas
tiers throughout the country that
their offices will be closed all day
Christmas except for the dispatch of
special delivery letters and parcels
and special handling letters and par
cells.
Real Holiday
In order that the vast army of
carriers and clerks may enjoy Christ
mas Day to the fullest extent with
their families and friends, the CO.
operation of every man, woman and
child in the United States will be
necessary.
Under the leadership Of the Post
master General, a campaign is now
under way throughout the country
to instill into the minds of every
body the necessity for shopping and
mailing early in order that there
will be as little congestion at the
post offices as possible during Christ
mas week and in order that both the
sender and receiver Of gifts and re-
membranes may reap the happiness
that is contemplated by such an ex-
change Of presents.
Urges Early Mailing
Once more the Post Office de-
partment urges the American public
to do its Christmas shopping and
mailing early. If the shopping is
done now the buyer gets just what
he or she wants and if the gift is
mailed before December Is it is sure
to reach its destination in plenty of
time before Christmas Day.
