pupil found with any trouble which
the doctor considered needed a+ten-

parents, calling attention to the trou

physician be consulted. Following

an inspection by a regular medical
health officer as requested by the
school board and carried out on the
west side schools and parochiaI
schools would show much larger per

in time would mean a great deal not

has been found in the east side schools |
which have for pupils the children

The inspection as conducted can in |

beliefs Of any one; the inspecting
physician, except in cases of conta-

pupil with a slip which calls the par

SHREDDER
GUARDS

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 2O.-Efforts
are being made by the Industrial Com
mission of Wisconsin to cut down
the appalling number of farm acci-
dents caused by corn shredding and
husking machines. The commission
is charged by law with the duty of
enforcing the statute, which requires
that all shredders and huskers shall
be guarded. Guards for these ma
chimes are simple and inexpensive and
the commission is advising farmers
as to the proper method of building
them.
The hazard to life and limb, which.
has become greater each year with
the increasing use of shredders, is
becoming a serious problem. Don
D. Lescohler of Minnesota. in re-
cent issue of the Survey, has. this to
say on the subject;
sixteen fatal accidents, two more
likely to result in death, eighty-five
serious injuries, and thirty-two Sc
we're Ones-a total of 1876 accidents
were reported from Minnesota's ag-
riculture during the past twenty
eighty-two of them, incIud-
ing four fatalities, in the last eight
Forty-one per cent of the
accidents occurred on corn shredders.
which are the most dangerous agricul
tural machines in use in the north
west"
The Wisconsin legislature in 1911
passed a law placing a heavy pen
atty upon owners of ungarded corn !
5hredders. These owners not only
may be fined but in addition they are
denied the defense of contributory
negligence in case of a lawsuit grow
ing out Of an injury to an employee.
This means that, no matter if the in
iured person was careless he can get /
damages from his employer for in
jury.
Under the law it is the duty of
every person using corn shredding
or husking machine, to equip the
with safety or automatic feed
ing devices for protection from acci-
dent by the swapping rollers, husk-
ing rollers and shredding knives.

THE REAL CITIZEN
WORTH WHILE"

The man who is always too busy
to lend little help in the communi-
tvs common cause is too busy to
measure high in the community stat
ure.
The man who is so poor he cant
afford to support a well-founded, sue
cessful, result producing community
movement, is indeed so poor that he
is on the debit side of the communi-
ty ledger.
The man who counts for something
in the community is the man who
does something for the community
and he is the same man who gets back
from the community the fullest meas
ure of return.

that they are the victims OF false evil

complishlng the apprehension Of the de-
PENDANTS sought to discredk the police

This was the defense set up by Giuzep-

one OF the six alleged assassins Of Gen

Today Salvi was confronted with a ring
Of Cuoccolo's which the authorities had

OF the police was that this ring was TO

NAUGHTY POST CARD MAN
GETS IN TROUBLE AGAIN
Chief Revokes His License and
Police Pinch Him for OBJ
struCting Street

j, F. Hazelton, the naughty post card
man" who has been in the papers several
times recently in connection with some
cards he unwittingly sold the mayor. is
in trouble again.
The cops got him Tuesday morning for
obstructing the sidewalk and refusing
to move on when ordered. They carried
him to police station, cart and all, and he
had to put up collateral Of 5000 cash
to keep out Of cell.
1t seems that Tuesday morning Chief
Jennings got busy and ordered Hazel
toms permit, to keep his stand on Mari
eta street, near Peachtree, revoked A
Policeman notified Hazelton. and not
being able to conceive why his license
should thus be cut off so suddenly. he
didn't move on as fast as the officer
wanted him to. Presently Captain
Beavers and two officers came around
and took him in custody.
The revocation of Hazelton's license
puts him on the same basis as all
peddlers, who under the city law are re-
quired to keep moving all the time. OF
course this would mean that Hazelton
might as well go out of business.
1t is understood he intends to fight MS
case as far as he can without further
mourning the disfavor of the Police au-
thortties.

Giving Up Land

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The SUI
preme court Of the United States de-

dollars to eastern Cherokee Indians. The
court holds that the Indians have been
guilty of laches. or neglect OF their ie-

bring their action.
The Indians claimed that the court In
