Slapped his blood. The visitor whose
name was Loose, had called 60 a see
son who had just been operated up
en- for appendicitis. Wien Mr.. Loose
heard the physicians discussing the
case of the young Frenchman and Won
dering where they could get the volun
teer for the TRANSMISSION operation, he
stepped forward and in few minutes
the apparatus was connected and the
blood was pumping into the patient s
body bringing color to his wan cheeks.
A few hours later the son of MIR.
Loose passed away.
Felix Lagard, aged 20, an animal
tender in Irvine park at Chippewa
Falls, may die as a result of a battle
lasting for several hours with an en-
ragged buck deer. Lagard had gone
into the park where the deer were
confined for the purpose of cutting
tree, when the buck attacked him.
knocking him down and wOunding him
severely. Lagard grasped the animals
antlers and fought for almost an hour.
Two boys seeing the encounter called
for help, two other men coming to
Lagards assistance. They also found
the enraged animal more than a match
for them and not until three more pas
sersby were summoned, was the deer
roped and tied. 1t struggled in its
bonds until it broke it's neck. Three
of the men had their clothing torn to
shreds and received painful injuries.
Lagard was so badly injured that he
was taken to a hospital. His condi-
ton is regarded as critical.
That Wisconsin apples, particularly
Wealthy" Jonathan" and Dudley"
varieties, may be eXterminated by APP
pie rust unless the growers take
prompt measures to exterminate the
red cedar tree where the rust germin-
ates, is the opinion expressed by the
Wisconsin experimental station in a
bulletin on apple Rust Control re-
Gently issued. l.. r. Jones and E. T.
Bartholomew of the bureau, prepared
the report after experimentation COW
ering several years. Their conclus-
ions seem to be verified by similar in
vestigations carried on in a number
of other states, notably Iowa, Nebras-
ka, Virginia and West Virginia ZAP
pie rust is on the increase in Wiscon-
sin wherever the apple and the red
cedar are found growing in the same
neighborhood," says the report. "The
red cedar is scattered widely in south
ern and western Wisconsin, which
means in all the important apple grow
ing sections except Door county and
the Bayfield, peninsula"
Edward Erickson, a farm hand en-
ployed by M. H. Bekkedah of Westby,

dustrial commission, asking for total
disability compensation for fifteen
years, dating from Nov. 2, 1914, and
$500 to pay his hospital and doctors
bills. Erickson was engaged in blast
ing out stumps on the Bekkedah farm
last November and a delayed explos-
ion caused the accident that has rob
bed him of nearly all his bodily func-
tions.

standing over the stump.

pecially the left ear.

That unauthorized insurance agents
doing business in Wisconsin are liable
to feel the stern arm of the law seems
likely since Commissioner of Insur-
ance M. j. Cleary has taken the stand
that these companies defraud the state
by avoiding the payment of taxes and
do injustice to other agents by offer
ing insurance at lower rates. Com
missioner Cleary in his statement
says:
Insurance carried on Wisconsin
property to companies that have not
been licensed to do business in this
state is absolutely worthless; it can
not be collected in case of loss. The
only inducement this class of COM
panies offers to property owners is
reduced rate, made possible by the
fact that they do not pay license fees,
taxes and other charges that author
lied companies must pay. Worthless
policies-and the policies of such COM
panies are worthless-at any premium
rate are expensive. Property owners
should make inquiry as to whether or
not companies writing their business
