RESISTS. COMPENSATION ACT
Insurance Company Fights In Court
Recent Amendment to Badger
Statute.

An award Of workmen's compensa-
ton by the industrial commission to a
fifty-four-year-old working man, totally
and permanently disabled from earn
ing any wages whatever, Is. to be
fought out in the courts on appeal Of
the insurance company that carries
the lumber company's insurance. John
Nichol, an employee of the n. Luding-
ton company of Marinette, was struck
by tree that had been cut down by
a fellow workman. Under the condi-
lions that prevailed prior to the pas
sage of the workmen's compensation
act if Nichol had brought suit against
his employer the case would have
been thrown out of court on the
ground that the accident was proxi-
mately due to the negligence of fell
low servant
The case Of Nichol Is the first one
under the new section of the compen-
sation act adopted by the 1913 legis-
lature, which decided that a totally
and permanently incapacitated work
man was in a much worse fix than
dead workman or the ablebodied wife
and child of a dead workman and
should receive six times his annual
wage, payable in weekly installments.
This is approximately one-third more
than is paid in case of death.

And see their banners shine.

For many a wrong to strike a blow
With mailed hand at Mexico.

Who babe the hostile surges stay
When the black forts of Monterey
Frowned on their dauntless line?
When, undispayed amid the shock

They stood or rushed more madly on

On Angostura's crowded field
Their shattered columns scorned to yield,
id wildly yet defiance pealed
Their flashing batteries threats.
And echoed then the rife crack,
As deadly as when on the track
OF flying foe, of yore. it's voice
Babe Orleans dark eyed girls rejoice.
Blent with the roar OF guns and bombs,
How grandly from the dim past comes
The roll of their victorious drums.
Their bugles joyous notes.
When over MeXico's proud towers
And the fair valleys stored bowers,
Fit recompense of toll and scars,
In triumph waved their flag of stars.
All, comrades of your own tried troop,
Whose honor meier to shame might stoop
OF lion heart and eagle swoop.
But you alone remain!

Was wild as sun loosed torrents flow
On Orizabas crest of snow.

Well see them once again.

From storm lash asdsries w1ntry shore

AUTOMOBILES sTARvE FLIES

Reports from various quarters
indicate that there are many less
flies this summer. Inasmuch
as time takes the edge off of past
pain and annoyance, the trut h
probably is that the decrease is
much greater than any of us real
ICES.
Undoubtedly, the "swat the fly"
campaigns and, even more, tn e
"starve the fly" campaigns have
had a most powerful influence.
Never before has the general in
terest in annihilating the fly
equalled the present.
In citing the various agencies to
which credit is due, sight must
not be lost of the automobile. The
increase in the number of automo-
biIes and the decrease in the num-
Der of driving horses, particularly,
is having marked influence in
Kidding residence neighborhoods of
flies.
Private stables which used to
furnish their full quota of uncover
ed manure boxes are now locked
or used as automobile garages. A
hasty survey of a large resi-
dence neighborhood in Milwaukee
failed to discover a single stable
in use. In this same district there
were years ago when it was much
less populouso large number Of

THE DRUM.

Y HATE the drums discordant sound,
Parading round and round and round.
To thoughtless youth it pleasure
n yields
And lures from cities and from fields
To sell their liberty for charms
OF tawdry lace and glittering arms,
And, when Ambitions voice commands,
TO march and fight and fall in foreign
lands,
hate the drums discordant sound,
Parading round and round and round.
To me it speaks of ravaged plains,
And burning towns and ruined SWANS,
And mangled limbs and dying groans,
And widows tears and orphans moans
And all that misery's hand bestows
To fill the catalogue of human woes.

The better class residence dis
tricts of New York have, for
years, been comparatively free
from flies. Inc ee d !, window
screens have been comparatively
scarce. That this has been due
in part at least, to the prohibitive
cost of maintaining private driv-
ing horses cannot be denied.
With the passing OF the horse
there will come a great improve
ment in the general sanitary con-
ditions of our cities. The streets
will be maintained in a clear
condition at less cost than has
been required to keep them par
TALLY SO.
While horses will continue to be
extensively used for some years
to come, the tendency will be to
concentrate their stabling. With
this concentration there will be
greater possibilities for o ca
health officials to maintain more
rigid enforcement of sanitary reg
ulatiOns.
It. must not be forgotten that in
spite of this years gains upon the
fly, that the period Of their great
est prosperity is the present one.
Vigilance needs to be maintained.
New interest needs to be stimuldt-
ed. Above all, waning interest
needs to be revived and forti-
fled. Fortunately for us, the fly
has no sense. He doesn't know he
is being licked.
