son of an injury suffered In the course

ton would include the whole of the day

The law providest hat compensation shall
begin on the fifteenth day and that the
injured employe shall be compensated at

In computing compensation the first four
teen days are calendar DAYS, compensa-
ton starting with the fifteenth day. II

ing the fractional parts of weeks. IL an
employee worked six days per week for a
stipulated wage per week." and suffered

ment which continued for twenty-nine
days. he would be entitled to compensa~
ton fo- two weeks and one-sixth, or

SMALL POTATO CROP
Only Half Average Yield Expected in
Windham County

Brattleboro, Sept. 19-In the opin-
ion of A. w. Sweeton, Windham
county agricultural agent, not over so
per cent of the average potato crop
of the county will be marketed this
fall The extremely long season of
very wet weather and the late-blight
dry-rot which has been prevalent all
this season are two principal reasons
for this small crop. The acreage this
season is about the same as for sew
eral years past, but in most cases
where the potatoes were planted in
moist ground they are not being dug.
The low places stood in water much
of the time and there was no crop.
1t has been some years since late
blight has bothered the potato grow
ers of the county very much, and in
fancied security most of them this
year failed to spray as a preventative.
In consequence, they are paying for
this failure with very poor crops. Not
only are many of the potatoes UNI
marketable when dug but Others be-
gin to decay almost Immediately after
placed in storage.

Manchester

Manchester, Sept. 19-In the SO
hole for the Equinox cup at Ekwanok
Country club yesterday Oswald Kirk
by of Englewood defeated Dwight
Partridge of Bedford at the 35th
green. 1t was a match very brilliant
whole. Although Partridge never
held the lead he made brilliant re-
covery in the morning after being
three down at the turn.
Playing the homeward journey in
36 strokes he squared the match at
the nth green. but lost the home hole
and was one down when the after
noon match started. After an eX-
change of holes at the first and sec
ond Partridge failed in his putting
at the fifth and was badly bunkered
on the. sixth. At the seventh he fail
ed to take advantage of an opening
when Kirkby missed an approach and
was again three down. Kirby missed
a short putt at the ninth, but came
in with a birdie four at the 500 yards
10th. Both were very perfect on the
18th and Kirkby missed his one drive
of the day at the 18th.
Three outs cost Partridge the next
but he won the 14th in par four after
being in a trap and overplaying the
green. At the 18th kirkby played his
second to within a very few feet of
the pin only to see Partridge hole a
long putt for a three and then miss
his own short one. Kirkby conceded
the 10th after twice being .bunkered
and at the 18th both. had puts of
about four feet for 5fours. Kirkby
putted first and went down while
Partridge missed one and the match
was over. asR tf

match was the long straight drives of
both players with little to choose be.
tween them.
