A SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Andrew Baumel, who resides in the
first ward, slipped and fell OH the
sidewalk between the Catholic church
and the Johnson Mere. Co.'S store
Monday, his right hip being broken
in two places. He lay unconscious
for fully half an hour before being
discovered when he was taken home
Mr.. Baumel is Y years old and
his age makes the accident very
serious one. He will doubtless be
crippled for the remainder of his
life.
Mr.. Baumel conducted a black
smith shop near the Johnson store
last summer.

CROSSING ACCIDENT
AGED MAN rs RUN OVER BY EN-
CINE
[. THAYER, AGE 81 THE VICTIM
Waiting For One Train TO Pass and
Struck BY Another

While l.. Thayer, a farmer rcsid-
ing miles south of Ladysmlth. was
waiting for a train to pass on the
crossing by Hands livery barn, at
about O'Clock Wednesday after
noon, he was struck by the local
switch engine which was backing UP
on another track and run over
He was affoot and had the collar
of his coat turned up high so that
he neither heard or saw the engine
coming until it was upon him.
Both legs were run over below the
knee. the left leg being practically
severed and the right terribly man
gled.
He was Immediately taken to DR..
OConnor's office, where the left leg
was amputated above the. knee. There
is chance that the right leg can be
saved.
Although Mr.. Thayer is 81 years
o. age, 1t is probable that he will
live as be seems to have remarkable
vitality He has a family Of a wife
and four children.
This terrible accident will no doubt
cost the railroad company enough to
have maintained gates or flagmen at
tiaia and a few other OF the most
dangerous crossings for many months.
These crossings are being made still
more dangerous by the addition of
more tracks, and unless something
is done these accidents are sure to
occur more or less frequently.
No marriage licenses We're issued
by the county clerk the past week.

Wisconsin Aids Its Farmers

There is one advantage that must
not be overlooked by the people of
our state or settlers elsewhere who
are looking for q location. Wiscon-
sin is recognized as one OF the most
progressive states in the country It's
laws, it's courts, its university, it's
schools and its people are progress
sive, with the result that in agricul-
tural instruction Wisconsin leads all
other states. No longer does the new
settler live in ignorance OF agricul-
tural surroundings or conditions. For
the asking, he can ascertain the
particular soil he possesses and it's
best uses. Grains, suitable for grow
ing, are furnished him, so that many
of the possibilities of failure which
surrounded the average farmer, are
avoided.
Wisconsin affords unequalled op-
pOrtunities for the farmer. It's great
agricultural college leads the way
for all others in the country. 1t is
educating thousands OF young boys
and many older boys to find real
gold mines in Wisconsin's soil with
out wasting lifetime in useless
prospecting.

tnaL now protect uS lfOlH tASs1 ufH
gers, and these laws should have the
hearty upsport of all the people.
Every state as we'll as the Can
adian Provinces, and Mexico have
enacted laws for the protection OF
wild life. There are officials, in some
states called game wardenS, and ia
others, game detectives, game guar
dians, and game inspectors. No mat
! ter what terms designate these Of
| ficilaS their duties are similar, and
| that is to enforce the laws enacted
for the conservation of wild life The
people Of community can do much
to lessen the breaking Of law In
many counties of our own state the
people are organizing for the pur
pose of protecting our wild life from
wanton destruction and from the
''poacher' and game hog" While
some of the former antagonism
against game laws still exists, it ma
be safely predicted that in the near
future, every county will organize to
conserve it's wild life People should
realize however that the office of
game warden is difficult one to
fill, and it is the duty Of every good
citizen to lend this important public
servant every assistance and encour-
agement in the discharge of his dt-
ties
Dr. w T. Hornaday, writing OH the
destruction OF o,r wild animal life
says:
Unless man is willing to accepr
place in the list of predatory animals.
which have no other thought than the
Wolfish instinct to slay every living,
species save their own, he is bound
by the unwritten laws of civilization
to protect from annihilation the
beasts and birds that still beautify
the earth and make it interesting"
The only way to save our birds an6
mammals from annihilation is 70
arouse an active national sentiment
in favor Of their preservation One
Of the ways Of doing this is through
general crusade against the forces
OF destruction. Ought not our peo-
pie to awaken to the seriousness of
the situation and bring about a com
plete revolution in behalf of the pro-
lection of our native animals life?
These are questions that are absol
utely in the hands Of the people.
There are movements in various
parts OF our country to set apart re-
serves and refugees for wild life.
There are 95 of these refugees in the
United States to day Many of these
reserves are also forest reserves, and
their. combined area, is about 5000
900 acres. Minnesota in 1909 made
her forest reserve: also game re-
serve Ought not Wisconsin to do
likewise?
1t is the purpose Of the game war |
den's department to co-operate in
every way it can, to secure a more |
adequate enforcement of our laws, !
and to work in conjunction with as
sociations organized for that purpose.
However, in view of all the efforts t
by the department, the people them
selves can do much. Why not make |

in the Union along the line Of animal |

to, why not make it real along these |
lines?

The Conservation of Wild Animal
Life

The purpose Of the protection of
wild life may be briefly discussed
under the following heads:
(a) To increase useful species for
the benefit Of all the people.
tb) To encourage those species
that are beneficial as scavengers or
destroyers OF insect pests or the
seeds of noXiOus weeds.
tc) To prohibit the introduction of
injurious species into this country.
td) To protect those species that
are of interest to the student of ma
ture.
tel To conserve the wild life so
that coming generations may enjoy
some of the benefits and pleasures
that we enjoy.
With few exceptions during all the
ages of history, SO far as capable of
human ownership, the wild life Of
commonwealth has been held 10 be
i'll the state for the benefit of all the
people. it is obvious, in view of this
common ownership, that the people
OF the state ought to by legislation
and by arousing public sentiment to
provide in every way possible for
the increase of useful species. The
government is providing for the in
crease of useful food fishes In Wis
consin We have eight state .ish hat
cherries that arc propagating fish and
sending them out to restock the
streams of the state. We have laws
enacted for the purpose of protecting
fish during spawning seasons. as
we'll as laws for the protection Of
our valuable mammals and birds.
1t is estimated that the loss in
this country due to insects and nox-
ious weeds is about $4,000, 900 900 an
nually. Bird study is no trifling fad
The bird life represents a public
property protected by laws that are
beginning to be respected and en-
forced. 1t is to be regretted however
that boys and girls pass through our
schools, who are not able to recog-
nize our commonest forms of wild
life. and what is worse do not care
to learn or know anything about
them We must teach the children
the human value and Importance Of
wild life We must suggest things for
the children to do that will tend to
increase the valuable wild life about
the community. 1t is positive, not
negative teaching that will result in
the most good, not only along the
lines of Interesting wild life, but
along the lines of conservation.
The Uited States government recoG-
nized this Importance of protecting
It's people from the introduction of
injurious pests. However, before the
National Government became inter
ested. there We're introduced some
Injurious species, as the English spar
row and the German Carp. These
have also been introduced in many
very injurious insect pests and plant
disease, as Gypsy moth, brown-tailed
moth. cotton-boll weevil, hessian fly.

pine blister We have National laws
