IN NEED OF FARM TEACHERS
University Regents Have Places for
Ten Agricultural instructors

Madison.-If properly qualified men

This fact was developed at a meet
ing of the executive committee of the

man, was appointed agricultural rep
resentative for Langlade county. Mr.
Swoboda was formerly superintendent

Boys at Dousman, and graduated from
the Wisconsin University College Of
Agriculture in 1908. In Langlade
county his work will be in co-opera-
ton with Supt. of School A. NJ. Avcson,

EARNING POWER IS IMPAIR
Loss Of Eye Held to Be a Permanent
Disability Under the compensa-
tion Act.

Madison. Judge Stevens has filed
with the industrial commission his
finding in the case of the International
Harvester company against the com
mission and Ernest Koenig, in which
the ruling of the commission is sus-
tanned.
The commission awarded Koenig
compensation under the law upon the
theory that the loss of an eye was a
permanent partial disability which
would result in a weekly loss OF wages
of Is per cent.
From the award the company APP
.pealed to the circuit court of Dane
county.
In deciding the case, Judge Stevens
said:
The evidence establishes the fact
that the loss of one eye affects the
ability of the applicant to Judge dis
tances. It is matter of such common
knowledge that judicial notice will be
taken of it that preference viii gen
orally be given to men with two eyes
who can correctly judge distances
when they are to be employed upon
such machines as that upon which the
applicant is working.
The fact that plaintiff has taken him
back at his old employment is not con.
elusive. The question is. will employ
ers generally give him chance to
earn wages in the employment in
which he was working at the time of
the accident as readily as they would
before the injury? The court is salts
fled that the. commission properly
found that employers generally would
not and that such lessened ability to
secure employment is an impairment
OF earning capacity within the pro-
visions Of the workmen's compensation

AGAIN ASK PARDON OF DIETz
Attorneys for Cameron Dam Man
Claim His Bullet Never Killed,
Deputy Sheriff Oscar Harp.

La Crosse.-New evidence which.
it is claimed, proves that John Dietz
of Cameron Dam fame, could not
have fired the shot that killed Deputy
Sheriff Oscar Harp is the basis of a
petition for pardon filed with Gov.
McGovern.
Attorneys said that they have affi-
davits from the Winchester Arms
Manufacturing company to the effect
that bullet from the gun used by
Dietz would penetrate sixteen inches
of oak without doubling.
The bullet which killed Harp en-
tered his mouth and lodged in the
back of the skull, doubled up. At
the time of his death it was claimed
that Harp was the victim of enc
mics among the sheriff's posse.

Madison. That State Treasurer
Henry johnson may not surrender
100000 of United States bonds, de.
posted by trust company as guar
antee under the law, and accept in lieu
thereof 100000 in railroad bonds as
approved by the commissioner of baSls~
ing, is held by Atty.-Gen. Owen in ai}
opinion. W.
This ruling. the attorney general
points out, is a modification or a for
mer one by the department, but he
says that any other view Of the law
would permit a trust company to de-
post any kind OF so-called bonds II
only they have the required approval
of the commissioner of banking.
The law requires that trust COM
panies. before they may begin bust
ness, must deposit with the state
treasurer not less than so per cent OF
its capital stock, either in cash or
certain kinds of designated securities
to be approved by the commissioner
of banking. But the attorney general
holds that railroad bonds do not come
within the designation; that only
bonds or mortgages. or notes and
mortgages or unincumbered property
within the state worth double the
amount secured. public stocks and
bonds of the United States or of a
state that has not defaulted within
ten years. or of counties, cities, towns
and villages. These, he holds, are the
only classes of securities that may be
accepted by the state treasurer from
trust companies under the law,

A CITY OF CHANGE.
Ephesus, Once on tho Seacoast. 10 Nov
Located Far inland.

Sir William Ramsay characterizes
Ephesus as the City Of Change" And
truly it has seen marvellous changes
and its inhabitants many removals. In
the days of st. Paul and St John Eph-
esus was a city of the seacoast: the
waters Of the Aegean Tapped its busy
wharves. Now the traveller to Ephesus
can scarcely imagine that he is near
the sea. To all appearances he is as
far away as on one Of our inland prai-
ries. The Cayster during all these ageh
has brought down mud and silt from
the mountains until now Ephesus is
miles from the seashore. Even in st.
Johns time the port was kept open
only by strenuous effort and constant
dredging.
These changes wrought by nature
have compelled frequent changes on
the part Of the inha bitants. The orig
inal city was built not far from AyasO.
