Life is very much like a garden.
You have to plan to get a crop and
want of attention begets weeds.

COOPERATIVE CASE DECIDED.

The report current some weeks age
that the long pending cooperative
store case, klinghol2 VS.. Mason and
others, had been settled was erroneous.
Judge Graas in circuit court at Green
Bay has now filed his decis ION. The
courts decision is virtually the same as
formerly reported to the effect that
the stockholders of the defurct co.
operative store are liable as partners
because the incorporation Of the com
pany had never been legally effected.
The law requires that 500 OF the capi'
tai stock must be subscribed and 20%
actually paid in before the incorporating
is complete. This was not done. This
decision makes each Of the stockhold
ers of whom there are about 100, liable
for the entire debts. The matter has
been in the courts about five years and
is of great Importance to the many
stockholders, especially those who own
property not exempt from execution.

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION HERE.

GRAFTON. +. Nj. Wilcox of the state In
( dustrial Commission with a stenograph-
I ic reporter was taking testimony in "A
compensation case. Five cases were
set for hearing for that day but as at
torneys were busy in circuit court only
one was called and the commissioner
will return in two weeks. 1t WAS a
claim of Albert Engel against the 500
Line. Engel was bill clerk and bag
gage man at the depot. Last New
Years day he lifted heavy trunk and
tore some abdominal ahesions left from
a prior appendicitis operation. He
has been unable to work since. Prior
to the enactment of the Workmen's S
Compensation Act there would have
been no thought of any recovery from
The worker took his own risks and re-
covered only for the employers negli-
gence and not always then. The com.
missioner comes to the city, hears u
number of cases in one day without
formality or strict rules. The compen-
sation is fixed by regular legal sche-
dule. There are no eX.ravagapt jury
awards and no long drawn out legal
battles eating up the recovery. This is
one modern Improvement that is prov
ing itself worth while No one loses
except personal injury lawyers. In
this Engel case the company claims
that the commission has no jurisdiction
because the employe was engaged in
interstate commerce. This is being
set up in all railway cases.

BASE BALL

Our team won last Sunday. That
makes it out of & and puts US ahead
of the slipping Kenoshas, The team
played the Leaders at Milwaukee. 1t
wasn't the same team that lost Ii to
Il week before. There has been very
decided shake up. A man named
Schreiber relieved Shorty Lewis in the
box. He held the Leaders to three
hits and famed ten OF them. With the
score 4 to against Manitowoc catcher
Kullman came to bat in the 7th with
two men on bases and won the game
with a screaming three Dagger. The
two Lebin brothers at short and third
are great addition to the team. Fans
have short memories and this victory
has already erased the memory of the
burlesque OF June 9th.

rather small business for the govern

would not dare do such a thing. The
