SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
BULLETIN ISSUED BY STATE
FIRE MARSHAL PURTELL
BAnBAR0US" 4TH COSTS LIVES
Restrictions Adopted by Many Cities
Show Decrease in Losses
by Fire

The annual property loss caused by
Fourth-of-J July fireworks, and the many
fatalities and large number of accidents
due to the same cause induce us to
again send out the annual warning to
the people of the state.
AS result of the celebration of the
last "barbarous Fourth" two hundred
boys and girls lost their lives, and one
hundred and seventy one lost one or
more fingers, not to mention other fat
alities and serious accidents.
Ten bad fires were reported to us last
year caused by fireworks.
In all the excitement and useless
noises of the ''barbarous Fourth, we
fail to see one thought of patriotism
beyond the occasional "spread-eagle"
grafton, delivered in competition with
the noises of young America.
We have both warned and instructed
in previous bulletins; we now suggest
a remedy.
First. We would urge upon COM
mercial bodies, civic organizations, and
city governments the necessity of pro-
viding safe and sane Fourth, as we
have no desire to rob ''Y oung America"
of this celebration. These bodies can
provide games, amusements and exer-
cises for the children, which will be
quite as acceptable to them, will be
more likely to instill the valuable les
sons of patriotism, but will not be
fraught with danger to life, limb and
property.
One year ago the city of st. Paul
entertained TO-, 900 children on Harriet's
Island without one single accident
worthy of note. What ST. Paul has
done, other cities can do. Who will
lead?
The four cities of Washington, Cleve
land, Baltimore and Toledo, with safe
and sane Fourth, last year showed a
total of twelve accidents Four other
cities, New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and ST. Louis, with practically no
Fourth-of July restrictions, showed a
total of one thousand three hundred
ninety-fve accidents for the same day.
Second. AS a further remedy we
urge that the existing laws and the
local ordinances on the subject of fire
works be strictly enforced.
We call attention to Section 4398f of
the statutes of this state, being Chap

The final exercises of Public School
commencement occurred at the opera
house last Friday night, a reception
being given the Class of 1910 by the
Juniors and Alumni. The teachers all
went to their homes this week Near
ly all of them will return here next
year.
Mrs. A. r. Schaffer of Island Lake
was in the city Tuesday soliciting funds
for an operation on the eyes of her nine
year old son Walter, who is threatened
with blindness as the result of the
measles. The boys father, who used
to work on the railroad at Weyerhaus-
er, died six years ago, and the mother
has been supporting the family since.
DR.. B. Kinyon has in his possess
ion a cow affected with tuberculosis,
belonging to l., j. Ingraham of Glen
Flora, awaiting instructions from the
State Veterinarian. 1t may be that
public demonstration will be given for
the benefit of the farmers when the
animal is killed
The board of education secured an
amicable settlement of the dispute over
the division of the proceeds of the
operetta, Golden Hair and the Three
Bears recently given in this city.
Miss Harvey, who trained the children
and managed the affair, received $50
and the board pays all the expenses.
The gross receipts amounted to over
5000.
The committee o h Bethany
Sisters, who have been gathering up
paper for the past several months, have
nearly completed their task of accumu-
lating carload and expect to ship it in
week or two. Anyone having any old
newspapers or magazines they wish to
contribute to good cause, please noti-
fly Mrs. F. E. Munroe or Mrs. j. H.
Reed.
Ed Reed had his arm broken last
Friday. He has more than his share of
hard luck: about year ago he had his
feet scalded while night watchman at
the Wooden Ware mill; then he bought
team of horses, both of which died;
later he buried the baby of the family,
and Mrs. Reed has been under the doc
tors care the greater part of all this
time.

M. W. A. PICNIC AT !ADYSMITH
Saturday, Aug. 81, the Date of Big
County Celebration

The Rusk County M. w. A. Picnic
association held a meeting at |. 0. O..
F. hall Wednesday afternoon. -Four
Camps were represented HaW-
kins, Sheldon and Ladysmith. Lady
smith was not bidder for the annual
picnic this year, but inasmuch as no
other Camp in the county felt able to
take care of this big gathering of
Woodmen this year, it was voted to
hold it at Ladysmith. Saturday, Aug.
27, was the date set. The election of
officers was left to the Ladysmith
Camp
The second annual Woodman picnic
was held at Ladysmith four years ago,
and it was the big event of the year.
Since then Ladysmith Camp has nearly
doubled it's membership, two new
Camps have been organized in the
county, and the membership of the
society has greatly increased, and we
may look for big time here Aug. 27.
Ladysmith and Hawkins drill teams
will again compete for the banner, and
it is reported that other Camps will
have drill teams this year. There will
be speaking, ball game, music, dane
ing, sports and races, and everything
that goes to make the picnic the biggest
event of The year.

Third. AS further safeguard for
