rapid corporations of moisture from

Allow the clippings to remain in
dry season. They help to shade the
soil and act as a mulch.
To do good work with your lawn
mower keep it well oiled and sharpen
it frequently. If it Is not well oiled
it will run so hard that you dread to

attention demanded by the lawn NOW

lawn, the grass must be cut evenly

IN REPAIRING A DIRT ROAD
Few Little Hints That Will Tend to
Make Work of Fixing Up
Highway Easier.
In repairing a dirt road:

In repairing dirt road:
Don't fill up the holes and ruts in
the dirt road with brush, with rocks
on top, and little dirt to cover the
rocks; but fill up the hole with dirt
of the same character as the balance
of the road.
Don't throw all the refuse from the
bitches into the middle of the road.
thus softening the surface and de-
stroying the solid, firm bed that you
have obtained by previous work; but
throw this material out on the OPP
posite side of the ditch.
Don't leave the center of the road
the lowest point; but make 1t the
highest and give the surface of the
road a slope of about 1 in 20 to the
side ditch.
Don't carry the water across tho
surface of the road from one side to
the other; but carry 1t by means Of
culverts underneath the road.

Cows Train Men,

The dairy cow in sense forces the
dairyman to deal justly and kindly.
Unless so managed the COW takes her
revenge by silently, but surely, with.
drawing the full quantity Of milk. Like
the law of moral action, she was al
ways thus able to punish the man for
his misdeeds. He soon comes to
know that surly relations with his cow
make smaller cream checks. And this
came in time to exercise an influence
which could not have been brought
about by reading many little syllo
gisms on the duty Of kindness.

Hits Injunction Abuse.

An attack on the use Of in
functions to prevent the enforcement
of new laws was implied in statements
made by Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court W. H. Timlin when he
called the attention of Attorney Cen
eral Bancroft to the growing ten
dency to prevent the execution of i'm
portant new laws by injunction and
declared it would be well for the
states attorney to proceed slowly and
cautiously in doing anything to en-
courage such a tendency.
Judge Timlin's warning was given
after several motions had been sub
mitted for injunctions to restrain state
officers from acting under new laws
providing for the compensation Of In
jured workmen, a graduated tax on
incomes and for state regulation and
taxation Of waterpowers.
Motions were made by the Wausau
Street Railway company, the Chippe-
wa Valley Railway, Light and Power
company, the Northwestern Steel and
Iron company for injunctions to re-
strain state officers from enforcing
the waterpowers law until it could be
tested in the courts.
Former Judge Paul o. Carpenter OF
Milwaukee made a motion to advance
for argument the case Of Bordnis VS..
the Falk Manufacturing company, in
volving the constitutionality of the
workmen's compensation act. He
wishes to argue this case in connec-
ton with the petition Of the Filler
Stowell and others for permission to
bring suit in the supreme court to test
compensation act
Briefs on these cases have been filed
with the supreme court and an early
decision is expected The court also
heard many minor cases and took up
the first assignment of case on the
postponed August calendar for argu-
ment The complaint of the Wausau
Street Railroad company sets forth
that the plaintiffs purchased the
Trappe rapid water power property
for future use and without this prop
erty the value of the company's stock
would be greatly impaired. But that
to develop this power $350000 will be
needed and this must be obtained by
the sale Of bonds. AS, however, the
power will not be needed for some
time it cannot be developed advanta-
geously now, and thus it renders the
property liable under the new law to
be leased to some other persons to
the damage of the plaintiff.
"The legislature of the state has,"
says the complaint, by the enactment
of said chapter 652. attempted to take
from the plaintiff its water powers in
violation of the following provisions
OF the Constitution of the United
States"
The fourteenth amendment is the one
on which the argument is based.
It is said, further, that chapter 652
violates constitutional provisions in
that it provides for the taking of pri-
vate property of the riparian owner
for a pretended public use" without
just compensation and that the act
ought to be held unconstitutional on
account of the general tenor and the
indicated intention of the Legislature
to take proprietary rights in water
powers and transfer them to the state
without compensation.

Onions In Winter.

To keep onions over winter put them
In a dry location, such as barn loft,
and spread them on the floor or on
shelves in thin layers. If they should
happen to freeze it will not damage
them provided they are not disturbed
when frozen. They should be covered
with sheets of paper in order to assist
In preventing sudden thawing, but
usually If the layers of onions are not
so thick and the location is dry, they

The proper way to select seed po-
tatoes is to go through the field when
the vines are in full bloom and drive
a stake at those hills having the larg-

Then. when the tubers are dug in the
fall the hills thus marked will yield

killing insects pests.
1t is a good plan to spade up part
of the poultry yard often so that tho
poultry will have fresh earth. When
it is possible to have a yard divided,
one part can be spaded up and sown
to some grain while the other part is
being used Then the poultry can be
turned into the yard when the grain
is just coming up, and they will not
only find the earth soft, but there will
be some green food for them.

INDUSTRIAL. BOARD
DEFENDS RISK ACT
Files Brief on Statute Before Su-
preme Court.
DECLARES LAW IS LEGAL
Puts Plea on Basis of Public Policy,
InferentiaIIy Asking Court 20 Dis
regard Strict Question of
Precedent

Madison.-The state industrial COM
mission submitted to the supreme
court brief supplementary to that OF
the attorney generals office in sup
port of the constitutionality of the
workmen's compensation act passed
by the last legislature.
The commission gives special atten-
ton, in the brief, to questions of pub
lie policy, seeking to show rather that
there is economic necessity for such
a statute than to justify it by legal
precedent The argument is likewise
unusual from a legal point Of view
from the fact that 1t cites as authori-
ties writer's and speakers on economic
subjects instead of court decisions
Notable among the authorities cited
are Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow VIII
son, President Taft and Governor Nc
Govern. The platform pledges Of va
rious parties in regard to workers in
surance are also quoted as bearing out
the commissions contentious.
Chief among the contentious of the
petitioners represented by Carpenter
e. Poss of Milwaukee is that the work
mems compensation act violates ar
dcles XIV, section /, of the United
States Constitution, I'm that the act
deprives persons, firms and
corporations of their property without
due process Of law" The petitioners
contend also that the act violates the
constitution by making compulsory
the payment of scheduled compensa-
ton in case Of injury or death suffered
by employees of the state, cities, cOun-
ties, villages, towns and school dis
tricts
In resisting these contentious, the
Industrial commissions brief cites
several decisions bearing upon article
ID, and quotes such sections as have
direct or indirect application to the
present case.
Following several pages of citations
and quotations, a portion of the brief
Is devoted to history of the deyel-
opment of the belief that industry
should bear fair part of the burden
Of work-accidents, instead of forcing
the employe or his family to carry it
nnaided
The BRIEF was prepared by Chairman
Charles H. Crownhart of Superior He
was assisted by Commissioners Com
mons and Beck, Chief Examiner L. A.
farrell of Darlington, who gathered
many of the citations and who wrote
the historical treatise; Senator A. w.
SanbOrn of Ashland, who was chair
man of the original legislative com
mittee on Workmens compensation;
Secretary p J.Watrous of Milwaukee,
who was secretary of the original com
mittee, and by many legal and eco
nomic authorities in other states.
Practically every contribution to the
subject of workmen's compensation,
including all briefs filed in the New
York and Washington cases, were
drawn upon for suggestions
