DENUDED SAVE
FOR HIS SHOES
Dashed Against A Concrete
Wall; Injuries Only
Minor

While attempting to pull out the
switch to the motor which runs the
bread mixer in the bakery of G. H.
Jones on West High street, Hugo
Fisher, an employe of Jones, was
very severely bruised and sustained
torn scalp which required several
stitches to close the wound. The ac-
cident happened Tuesday afternoon
about 2 o'clock. Fisher has been III
the employ of Jones for several
months and has been very competent
in his work. His duty was to oper-
ate the machine which mikes the
dough before it is baked. There is
shaft from one motor which drives
three machines, one being the bread
mixer. In order to shut off the mo-
tor, the operator must go around sew
eral other machines. Fisher, that
he might finish his work as soon as
possible, did not take the time to go
around and simply reached across
the shafting which propelled the 9th
er machines. In doing this his cloth
ing became engaged in the shafting
and drew the man onto the shaft.
Realizing his precarious position,
Fisher wildly cried for help. Arthur
Magers, another employe of Jones,
heard the cry and rushed to see what
the trouble was. Upon entering the
room in which the machines are To-
Gated, Mayors saw the plight of Fish
or and attempted to shut off the pow
er which was propelling the mixer
before the latter was thrown out of
the shaft against the concrete wall.
In this he was unsuccessful, as Fish
er's clothes were torn from his body
and the shaft no longer retained it's
hold.
When Fisher was thrown from the
shaft, he hit he wall with such force
that he was badly bruised all over.
Magers, having succeeded in stopping
the motor, rushed to the side of Fish
er and found him in heap in stun
ned condition and with no article of
clothing on but a pair OF shoes. A
local physician was called immediate
ly, who took Fisher to the latter's
home and placed in bod. After thor
ough examination, which disclosed
nothing more serious than a number
of body bruises, the attending ply
sician dressed the scalp wound which
had been caused by Fishers head
scraping the cement floor as the shaft
whirled him around in circle. Three
stitches were necessary to close the
wound in Fishers scalp.
Wednesday, Fisher was resting as
well as could be expected considering
the circumstances.

porary writ of mandamus was allow
ed by Judge Glenn Saturday.
The petition alleges that the two
children reside more than two miles
from the nearest schoolhouse in the

Hardridge school; that the Mill Creek
township board is required by law to
provide transportation for all pupils
over two miles from schoolhouse,
but that both the township board and
county board have failed and refused
to do So that the county board early
in the fall ordered measurement OF
the distance and the county surveyor
reported it to be more than two miles.
The petitioner asks for tempor-

boards and on final hearing a peremp-
tory order. ]. L. Mcdowell is Mr.,

ARE BOTH SIDES INDULGING IN
PETTIFOGGERY?

Following the criticism of Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo on the
methods employed by the republican
nominee for president, in which the
secretay accused NJ. Hughes of pet
tifogging, the New York Herald has
this comment TO make:
Mr.. McAdoo is right. II is petit
Jogging for Mr.. Hughes to be de-
voting time to exposure of a demo-
cratic Administrations commitment
to the victors-and-spoils principle.
But is it not also p~ettifogging for Mr..
McAdoo and other members of the
administration family to deny that
the last three years have witnessed

as it eyer did under any republican
administration? They might as well

in this campaign. The American
people are thinking large these days.
They have no difficulty in appraising
at true worth politicians and petty
politics.
Mr.. Hughes has been deluging the

and his administration, some of 1t

like this, but they will have to stand
it, for after four years of power they
cannot escape being judged by the
record of their accomplishment and
non-accomplishment. They are fool

foolish to be indulging in It?
If Mr.. Hughes is to win 1t can only
be through convincing the voters that
he and his party are better equipped
than Mr.. Wilson and his party to
meet and solve the great problems
which the next four years will bring.
It is of these problems-and their

GOVERNMENT TO SPEND
$4,000 900 ON GOOD ROADS


One of the provisions of the FEEDER
al aid road bill, signed by the presi-
dent on July II, appropriates &c.
000, 600 to be spent by the secretary
of agriculture in ten yearly install
emnts of $1,00O,0 900 each, for the
construction and maintenance OF
roads and trails within or partly
within, the national forests
The bill provides that, upon re-
quest of the proper officers of the
states DR. counties. the money shall
be used for building roads and trails
which are necessary for the use and
development of upon which
communities within or near the ma
tional forests are dependent. The
work is to be done in cooperation
with the various states and counties.
Not more than 10 per eent of the
value of the timber and forage re-
sources of the national forests within
the respective county or counties in
structed may be spent. Provision is
made for the return of the money to
the treasury by applying 10 per cent
o. the annual receipts of the national
forests in the state or county until
the amount advanced is covered.
This bill makes possible the con-
struetion of many roads which are
urgently needed. Since 1912 ten
per cent of the receipts of the nation
forests have been used in road and
trail building, but the funds have
been inadequate TO meet the needs.
Many isolated communities within
the national forests are entirely de-
pendent upon the government roads
and trails. In some instances these
are almost entirely with
out means of communication. Ac-
cording to forest service officials the
money now made available will per-
NIT the construction of many roads
to open up : inaccessible
territory, and will greatly facilitated
the development of large areas
The Ogden office of the service is
ROW engaged in formulating the nee
essary plans for the apportionpent
of the funds now available among
the different states and counties of
the intermountain district, complet-
ing the preliminary work, such as
maps, plans, surveys and estimates
OF the more urgent projects, and per-
fecting an organization to handle the
greatly increased work which this
new road activity will involve. A
strong effort is being made to perfect
arrangements SO that actual con-
struction work on some of the most
important and urgent projects may
be initiated during the present sea-
son.
In addition to the road work pro-
yided for within and adjacent to the
national forests, the bill appropri-
ateS Tor the construction OF posi-
roads in cooperation with the states,
$4,000, 600 the first year, 100000
900 the second. $4,000, 900 the
third, $40, 900 the fourth, and
1000, 900 the fifth year., a total
of $75,000,0 900 In using this appro-
priation, the federal government and
the states or counties will contribute
equally to the cost of each project.
In other words, the state or county
must make available for expenditure
upon any given project an amount
equal to that requested from the
federal government before such an
appropriation will be made.
