ARD IN FEBRUARY WON PRODUCING HONORS 20 Holsteins Belonging to Her- man Rabe, Youngtown, Awarded Second the Ward County Dairy Herd Im- 106 herds on test in the state during February, according to the February summary compiled by E. J. Haslerud, extension dairyman at the agricul- tural college. Mr. Erber's 11 grade Guernseys averaged 46.5 pounds of butterfat and 1,030 pounds of milk. The milk tested 4.5 per cent butter- fat. Second in herd production were the 20 grade Holsteins belonging to Her- man Rabe, Youngtown, member of the New Salem-Hannover association. The butterfat average of this herd was 42.9 pounds and 1,258 pounds of | milk. R. B. Huffman, Minnewaukan, | Benson County Pioneer association, | secured 8 42.5 butterfat average from his 22 purebred Holsteins. His aver- age milk production was 1,283 pounds. Average butterfat for the 1,913 cows | on test in North Dakota's eight herd | improvement associations fell off a/ pound "in February, the average being | 24 pounds per cow compared with 25) pounds in January. However, 53 of the 106 herds gave 25 pounds of but- | terfat or more; 336 cows produced 40 | pounds or more. ‘The Greater Grand Forks was the leading association for the month | with 27.7 pounds of butterfat per cow: ‘Ward County was second with a 27.4 pound average; and New Salem- Hannover was third with 27 pounds. Arthur Freborg, Grand Forks, had / the highest producing cow, a grade | Holstein with 85 pounds of butterfat | and 1,546 pounds of milk to her cred- | it. Another grade Holstein owned by the State Training school, Mandan, | tied for second place with a purebred ; Holstein owned by Kapaun and Lauf- enberg, Alice. The production was 72.1 pounds of butterfat. Dr. I. H. Wells, Harvey, had a purebred Hol- stein which gave 72 pounds of butter- fat. URGE MOTHERS TO REGISTER BABIES Health Department Notes a De-| crease in Registrations During Last Year One thousand less births were reg- istered with the State Department of Health for 1930 than for several ; years previous. Perhaps not so many births have actually occurred during this time, but the principal | reason for the shortage is that the present economic stress has caused | mothers to depend upon neighbors and friends at home where in pre- vious years they were cared for in hospitals and enjoyed the assistance of physicians. These friends and neighbors whose assistance has been relied upon in this time of stress do not know that baby’s birth should be) recorded with the registrar where the birth occurred, neither do they, know how to go about having it done. Many of them do not know why the baby’s birth should be rec- orded. ieee The record of a baby’s birth is necessary to prove its parentage, its citizenship, its age, its legitimacy, to obtain passports, life insurance, mother’s pension, soldier's bonuses, etc., to attend school, get married, obtain employment. In fact there is hardly a relation of life—social, legal, or economic—in which the evi- dence furnished by an accurate reg- istration of births may not prove to be of the greatest value, not only to the individual, but also to the public at large, It is not only an act of civilization to register birth certificates but good business, for they frequently are used in many practical ways. The State Department of Health will send to any mother a litho- graphed birth record of her baby, suitable for framing, as soon as its birth certificate has been filed. The laws of every civilized nation require that every birth of every baby should be recorded. There is a $50 fine in North Dakota for its neglect. The parent and the attend- ant are equally responsible. Record should always be made with the township, village or city clerk, within three days of birth. He will furnish the necessary blanks and information. He is called the local registrar. When a birth or death certificate is filed with him, he makes a complete record of it on his own books, then on the fifth day of each month he sends the original certificate to Bismarck, where it is Henry Erber, Glenburn, member of | Dr. and Mrs. A. P. Nachtwey Live in Mountains While Physician Studies New England, N. D., March 26.— “We have a million dollar view out of our bedroom window,” Dr. and Mrs. A. P. Nachtwey, Dickinson, write from Berne, Switzerland, where the doctor is taking special work in a famous surgical clinic. “Berne is situated about the middle of a great plateau between the Jura provement association, owned the} ang the Alps. Both of these moun- highest producing herd among the| tain ranges can be scen from our city, the Alps being quite close,” Dr. Nachtwey writes, “and the million dollar view includes ‘the Majestic Jungfrau’ jutting its peak up higher than all the rest. “Since January ist I have been per- manently located in Berne, the cap- ital of Switzerland, a town of 110,000, noted chiefly as a medical and edu- cational center. It is a very ancient city and most interesting. The houses are mostly uniform, built of greyish stones upon arcades. The streets are winding and most of them are con- siderably below the level of the side- walks, “These sidewalks are a distinctive feature of the city and give an au- thentic picture of its antiquity to all newcomers, The outward appearance of the city is the same as it was cen- turies ago, for Berne has preserved its old world charm to an extraordi- nary extent. Like all cities in this country it is partially built on hills and any walks you take include con- siderable climbing. The Bears of Berne “Ever since I can remember I've heard of the ‘Bears of Berne,’ so it was not surprising to find that Bruin is the accepted heraldic emblem of the town and one of the most familiar figures. The story goes that hun- dreds of years ago some feudal lord of the Helvetians killed a bear here and then built himself a castle on the spot, thus starting this present city. “A military post was established here in 1191, which will give you some idea of its age. But the bear is everywhere. All the store windows are filled with candy and pastry bears, anu toy bears, teddy bears, and wooden carved bears. There are statues of bears all over the city, on gateposts and buildings, the 16th cen- tury fountains, and so on, Right in the center of the city is a big bear pit, where about 20 to 30 bears have been kept at the public expense for hundreds of years. It is a very popu- lar spot, not only for children but for adults as well, for these bears are regular clowns and go through the funniest antics, teasing for carrots or oranges, which are sold for the pleas- ure of the people as well as the bears. ‘Berne’ means bear in the ancient Swiss language. “And speaking of languages! It 1s simply marvelous the way these Swiss speak French and German with equal ease and many of them speak Eng- lish and Italian as well. It certain- {ly must be fine mental training and it makes us Americans feel very in- adequate with only one language, which we often murder at that. “I can speak some German and Marjorie speaks a little French, so we manage t~ get along fairly well. Berne is rather out of the tourist travel line of the country, so fewer inhabitants here speak English than in the other cities, as Berne is noted principally for its physicians and hospitals. Die Wacht am Aare “The river Aare winds its way through the city over a rocky bed much below the level of the streets; and for a considerable way forming. by its deep and craggy banks, a kind of natural rampart. There are many beautiful bridges spanning it. You never need to wear a watch for in any direction you look there is a clock tower telling the time as it has far centuries. The most famous is the old ‘Zytglogge,’ an ancient. city gate tower with a most elaborate assembly of mechanical puppets. One rings little bells, another, a huge man in gold armor, strikes a big gold bell, away up in the tower, with a ham- mer; old Father Time turns his hour glass over every hour and the inev- itable bears come out of the tower at the bottom of the clock and march around every hour on the hour. “The most beautiful building in the capital is the old Minster Cathedral, started by the Catholic Monks in the 14th century and finished some 80 years later. It is the finest example of Gothic architecture in all Switzer- land. The towering pinnacle of the spire fairly takes your breath with its beauty and grace. The carvings on the great door are most interesting. They depict the last judgment in painted medieval sculpture and also are the most famous example of this ancient type of art in the country. “The weather is very mild at Berne, as it is situated down in the valley. We have snow but it seldom lasts more than two or three days. Of course, the snow stays up in the sur- rounding mountains and everybody goes in for winter sports, especially skiing. Marjorie and the small daughter are both skling and enjoy- ing it, but unfortunately I have not had time to take it up. Goitres Are Endemic bound in a book and kept in a fire- proof vault by the State Department of Health. Illinois Man Held For N. D. Robbery Hamilton, N. D., March 26.—(7)— Sidney O'Hara, Rockford, Ill, sewing machine salesman and repairman, is held in the Pembina county jail at Cavalier charged with theft of mer- chandise from the Knutson and Rowe ore. store here early Wednes- iy. “The surgical clinic in which I am working was founded by Theodore Kocher and now has for its chief, Professor deQuervain, the most fa- mous European surgeon of today. I cannot praise too highly their very kind attitule toward me. They allow, and are anxious for me to do all the work that I desire. Easily 50 per cent of the surgery is done on goitres, which are endemic in this country and this clinic was the pioneer in all tre surgery. I would say that goitres are as com- I am continually being amazed at the extreme kindness of these Swiss doctors in allowing me my choice of work and their continual willingness to help me. They have made me feel so at home here that I am afraid I will be loath to leave. intend to take a vacation and we will tour the continent and see all we can cram into the time left before I re- turn home in September.” Dr. Nachtwey is a member of the Dickinson clinic. Would Postpone Gas Tax Measure) St. Paul, March 26.—(AP)—The| state senate motor vehicles commit- definite postponement a bill to in- crease the tax on gasoline from three to four cents. A similar measure awaits action by the House. This action came soon after the Senate had voted, 37 to 28, for a $15,- 400,000 bond issue for highway con- struction. The bond issue has been made a special order in the House Friday afternoon. Should it be ap: proved by the House, it was expected attempts would be abandoned to in- lerease the gasoline tax, which also lis a special order in that body Fri; “After spending six months here I/ tee Wednesday recommended for in-| day. Liquor Charges Denied) Bloomington, Ind., March 26.— (AP)—Despite investigation by uni- versity officials into recent alleged liquor parties at fraternity dances, scheduled social affairs will not be interrupted, student leaders said Thursday. Officials denied a campus report that an open dance sponsored by the Indiana Union was canceled last week for fear of liquor violation, ex- plaining the Union failed to provide for chaperones within the required time limit. Dr. C. E. Edmundson, dean of men and chairman of the student affairs committee, which is composed of 18 faculty members, said the com- mittee had as yet taken no action, although he confirmed reports that pit dances were being investi- gated.
