There were 89,979 living children born la the state last year, making a birth rate of 18,1 per 1000. ,While this rate Is.about one >polpt over the previous year, It is from two to four points under former recent years. This, hotv. _____ ever, ^accounted for by the fact that' - , under a decision of the supreme court two years ago, physicians were re* lleved from reporting many births and consequently many were hot report* ed to the state board of vital statis­ tics, The law since has beep amend­ ed, making It compulsory on physi­ cians to report all births. ’ * , One family finished out two base­ ball nine. Another added an um­ pire for the two teams, while another that had two teams and an umpire added a manager. JStU another, hav­ ing all these added a mascot, making a total of 21 in the family.

COUNCIL CONSIDERS LIGHT QUESTION. Representatives of the Light Com­ pany Discus# Flan of Changing System for Street Lighting. Council met Tuesday evening with representatives of, the local light com­ pany and a representative of the Post- Glover Company, of Cincinnati, as to changing of the system of street light­ ing. The company claims that the pres­ ent arc lights have served their time and that a more modemsystem Would please the people better a^d at the same time' be of benefit to the com­ pany. .To make, the change a dot of new equipment must be ordered for the plant and oh' the streets, - „ f %rb# pm e su iN ^ ^ e#h * - bat three The many friends and relatives here of Mr. Howard Bratton will be inter- j ested in knowing that he will start a 1 dally paper in FatrbauJt, Minn,, a city Of 19,000, not having a'dally. Mr. Bratton has had a notable 'career In the newspaper held in Springfield and Dayton. First, as Xenia representa­ tive of the old Press-Republic, Spring- field; h* wept to the Sup, in that city, as City editor. When Gov, Cox pur­ chased the Press-Republic and chang ftd Jt to the Evening News, ‘Mr. Brat­ ton was made telegraph editor, then fity editor. Another promotion was to business manager when R. B- Mead yas sent to Dayton to manage the Dayton News, . . After Mr. ‘Cox’s election his manag­ ing editor, G. F. Burba, whs appoint­ ed private secretary, And tills permit­ ted another advance for Mr. Bratton, who succeeded Mr. Burba a# editor- in-chief of the Springfield and Dayton papets. It will be remembered during the recent campaign Of the fight -of travel­ ing salesmen against Mr. Cox, due to an editorial in the governor’s papers. The editorial was written by Mr. Brat­ ton, who had no idea of criticising commercial -travelers, but a certain set of city salesmen that had become a nuisance in DAyton. The editorial was Approved by Dayton citizens, bu; aot haying been safeguarded aa to ex­ empting commercial travelers, poli­ tician# grasped the incident as a mas­ ter stroke against the governor for re- election. Mr. Bratton made apology, and'offered to make amends as did the governor, who knew nothing of the. incident until some time after. But politicians never'want retraction and thousands of copies of the article were sent abroad to inflame commercial travelers.,- Tt was a very unfortunate affair for both the governor, who vns hot re­ sponsible in the least for the article,- and for“Mr. Bratton, who had no mo­ tive whatever in drawing his employer into such1a situation. The Herald wishes <Mri Bratton much sucpdss In his hbw venture. He lias had- a” successful newspaper car­ eer’ in thia Auction and we ate sure P.

The fact that one with such vast'wealth Chooses to be a minister of Christ, Indicates strikingly a spirit of, service. Appar­ ently he has been a .very successful pastor, as the church to which he has ministered for fifteen years has grown; in that time from six hundred to two thousand in membership. He is said to be an unusually consecrated man.
