At Madison the State Industrial
Commission has ordered that compen-
sation awarded to widows under the
Workmen's compensation act for the
death of their husbands be paid in
monthly installments instead of in a
lump sum. They hold that most of
the widows have been found incapable
of properly caring for the money and
that some of them have started out
looking for new helpm ate as soon as |
they had received their award.
A procession of Is loaded wagons
passed up Main street in Pardeevllle |
each bearing a good load of hogs, and |
each porker was the property of one
man, VIM. Kreger. The Pardeeville |
Times says: "The entire lot was sold |
to D. T. Lynch. There were 189 hogs
in the fifteen loads averaging in
weight 249 los. The net weight of
the bunch was 81, 10 pounds and they |
brought on the market the neat little |
sum of $2186. Not bad crop to be
grown on a 100 acre farm"
