COST OF INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS.

COST OF INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS,
Figures compiled by the industrial
commission of Wisconsin for the year
ending September !. 1912. give one
some idea of the enormous cost to
the public OF industrial accidents
Under the Wisconsin law employees
are entitled to 65 per cent OF the
loss in wages during disability, pay
ments are to be made weekly. ex-
cept that the first weeks wage may
be withheld until the twenty.ninth
day. During the first year. 1915 out
OF 6,6tl cases reported vera settled
by the payment OF a lump sum OF
$6S, ,432390. an average Of s522l per
case. This represents the amount
paid as compensation to the average
injured employe; 1t does not repre-
sent the actual cost Of the accident
The $522l represents 65 per cent. OF
the average yearly earnings lost by
the employe; the real loss Ia ss0a2
In about 90 per cent OF the cases tho
disability was for less than 20 days,
and, therefore, to get the actual loss
1t Is necessary to add week wages
to the amount given above 60 per
cent. Of the cases On the basis Of
an average wage Of $l0.50 the wagea
lost In an average accident case would
amount to sS662 Tho total loss,
therefore, for the GG4l cases report.
ed would amount to S575,243.42.

MOUNTAIN SPRINGS.

Warm sunshine and the songs Of birds to-day fill the heart with peace and happiness.
 II is such Gays as these that bring Hood of memories with the rush of an avalanche.
 We are informed that Harry Wac from the explosion of a lead of spray hose, while he was spraying under heavy pressure.
 From the varied nom de plumes employed by the esteemed brother hood of News gatherers it would be difficult for the causual reader to determine who are men and who women. Now for instance, Indian Maiden, might be a man and More Anon might be woman The mys- tery of the thing is fascination, and still We throw no searchlight upon the identity of Starbeam.
 Irwin Hughes X Co. have played no small part in the development of fine a@ples in this section, thru their untiring efforts in placing their experience at the command of other orchard men. In connection with their sales of spraying machin- cry. these people have given lectures on scientific application of the var ious sprays, and they are consider ed a source of established authority from every point of view, when ma chinery and apples are concerned.
 That pie supper at this place Saturday night was perhaps the greatest success of the kind ever witnessed at Mountain Springs. The pies were sold by Frank Duncan, who proved himself an able auction ger, and the crowd were liberal buyers. Everett Johnson was ac- corded the honor of being the ug- prettiest man out Of two candidates, and all of Us eheered when he was awarded the cake. Good feeling and good fellowship was dominant, and everybody went home in a good humor, some wishing that a pie supper were possible every week.
