EARLY VOTE NOT LIKELY
ON WORKMEN'S BILL
Two Members of Senate Try
ing to Get Agreement to
Postpone Action.

Although the Senate has agreed to vote
on the employers liability and work
mems compensation bill before the ad-
Journment of the legislative day of yes
terday, there is no prospect that a vote
Will be reached on the measure this cal
endar day. It is still the legislative day
OF yesterday in the Senate, and 1t is prob
able that the day will be continued some
time longer.
Democratic senators, headed by Mr..
Smith of Georgia and Mr.. Reed of Mis-
souri,, are fighting against vote in the
hope of getting a general agreement to
postpone action on the measure until next
winter. Republicans. who are practically
unit in favor of the bill, express will
ingness to have long sessions with con-
tlnuatlon of the legislative day of yes
terday until the opposition wears itself
out and a vote must be taken.
There is talk of a night session and
that probably will be forced by the ma
jority who are friendly to the bill, un-
less the opposition agrees to. permit a
vote at a definite hour tomorrow.
Adopt Many Tactics.
The opponents adopted many tactics
today to postpone vote on the measure
There were frequent calls for a quorum,
the time taken to call the roll giving the
speaker brief rest. Shortly after
oclock recess for an hour was pro-
posed, but was voted down.
Senator Reed, who resumed his speech
begun yesterday, at the opening of the
session at 11:50 o'clock today, continued
to talk in opposition to the measure when
that move failed.
The opponents claim that tine bill
would not allow employees OF interstate
carriers to recover as much for injuries
as they can at present.

The race in The Stars Swat the fly
If the relative standing Of the contestants
at the close Of the first two days of the
contest is maintained. The prediction OF
health officials that the scarcity OF flies
would hold the scores down and make
the competition close is being fulfilled.
AS was the case on Wednesday. the
opening day of the campaign, DR.. Muir
ray yesterday was at the campaign head
quarters, room 8, of the municipal build
ing, from 3 to pm, receiving the flies
brought in and entering the scores to the
credit of the contestants. The competi-
tors were from every part Of the city and
the results showed that flies generally
are scarce and that the insects, on ac-
count of unfavorable weather. have not
developed more rapidly in one section
than in another.
Expects Hard Contest.
Unless flies come on in abundance by
the end Of the month";" said DR.. Murray
today there are going to be some neck
and-neck finishes in the race this month.
A few flies may change the standing of
any Of the contestants Children who
have not yet entered still have a good
chance to get in the contest and capture
| the first prize. 1t is my opinion that the
contest will be close during the entire
month"
Announcement OF the standing Of the
contestants probably will not be made be-
fore next week. and It is doubtful If, dur
ing the five months campaign. the stand
| ing Of the competitors will be announced
by DR.. Murray oftener than once q
month. DR.. Murray has received an in
vitation to address the Teachers and
Parents Association Of the Webster
School May relative to the campaign.

BERRY SEASON
BEGINS SOON
Hundreds of Pickers Will
be Employed
Berry Fields Look Fine and
Everything Points to a
Bumper Crop.

The strawberry season in the Bay
field county district will be in full
swing by the middle part of next
week. By the last of the present
week some of the fruit will begin to.
ripen and small pickings will have to
be.made but the rush will not start
until some time next week. Every
thing points to bumper crop and it
is expected that over one hundred
carloads of the large, luscious berries
will be shipped from The Washburn-
Bayfield, district during the season
about to begin.
To handle this large amount of
fruit will require the services of over
thousand people. Pickers will be
brought in from outside points to
assist in the work. Employment
bureaus i'm The larger cities have been
asked to aid in supplying help for the
season and all of the offices are now
getting the names of people who will
be ready to come when the fruit be-
gins to ripen.
Several of the farms adjacent to the
city will harvest big crop this sea-
son and many of the smaller patches
will also net the growers nice sum.
The Bayfield, county berries come
into the market when fruit from the
central part of the state is exhausted
and therefore the berries from this
district demand the top notch prices.
Last year the growers averaged 81.
per crate for their fruit after paying
all commission charges. 1t is expect
ed that the berries this year will
bring almost that price.
Hundreds of dollars will be brought
into this district through the sale of
the berries.

Patent Medicines 100 Years Ago
From The Chicago Daily News.

People were greatly addicted to
patent medicines one hundred
years ago and a case that was tried
in 1917 in England gives some
idea of the pill taking proclivities
of the time.
An apothecary sued one Samuel
Jessup for payment of long
standing account. The bill extend
en- to fifty five closely written col
umns and showed that in twenty
years he took 226, 934 pills, begin
ming with the modest number of
twenty nine a day and advancing
by easy stages to a daily consump-
ton of seventy-eight. During the
same period he consumed forty
thousand bottles of mixtures, be-
sides juleps, electuaries and other
infallible specifics. The apothe-
cary won the day, but Jessup died
soon afterward at the age of 65.
