county seat, paid a larger percentage
of debts than did any other of the

HUNTING LICENSES
NMRODS NOT IN HURRY TO OBJ
TAIN PERMITS-EXPECTED
LOO WILL SHOOT.

If the number of hunting licenses
distributed in 1916 r to equal
those purchased in recent former
years, it will be necessary for the
county treasurer's office to issue the
permits during the next three weeks
or so at a rate of about fifty a day.
With the opening of the hunting
season only about two weeks distant,
II hunting licenses had been
issued up until this afternoon, ac-
cording to the records of County
Treasurer Ed Hyland. The number
is considerably below that of the
corresponding period last year. Dur
ing most seasons well over LOO IL
censes are taken out. The hunting
season opens September 10, on the
morning of which day prairie chick
ems and aquatic fowl may be shot.
Licenses sold in Lake county start
with the $1,000 series. The first Ii
cense issued here this year went to
Dan Lawler, OF this city. The "un-
lucky" thirteenth was sold to j. f.
Knother, of Ramona.
For resident licenses a 81 fee is
asked, while non-residents are
charged SIS. To obtain a residents
license, 1t is necessary to have lived
in the state six months.

ALFALFA FED HOGS
PORKERS TURNED INTO FIELDS
HERE FINISH WELL AND
BRING GOOD PRICES.

Present indications are that the
term corn fed," when pertaining to
live stock in Lake county. is destined
to lose some of its significance.
1t was only a year or so ago that
the average farmer in this section
was firmly convinced that only by
feeding corn or barley could hogs be
properly finished for market. The
fattening of hogs on alfalfa now has
passed the experimental stage. This
year il has been proved here that
and economically by turning them in
to alfalfa fields.
A carload of alfalfa fattened hogs
have Just been shipped to market by
w. /. Thompson, and they brought
1910 a hundred.
Mr.. Thompson said that alfalfa
feeding had been a success. He told
that he believed the best results
would be realized when the hogs had
two separate fields in which to feed.
He explained that by alternating
from one pasture to the other the
porkers would not root or tear up
the alfalfa TO any great extent, and
that it is possible to cut the hay
after the hogs have been removed.
Mr.. Thompson told that the feeding
of alfalfa not only can earlier
marketable hogs, but that it is a
most economical way in which to add
from seventy-five to 100 pounds of
weight to young hogs.

SCHOOL CHILDREN "
MUST Be EXAMINED
State Board Of Health Will Safe.
guard Schools Against Infan-
tile Paralysis.

A resolution requiring the medical
examination before admission to
school Of all school children in dist
riots where there has been infantile
paralysis was passed at a special
meeting Of the State Board of Health
held Aug. "a.
These examinations will be made
under the direct supervision of the
local health officer: To assist the
various communities in this work,
the Minnesota Public Health assoc
citation will maintain a staff Of ex.
perienced visiting nurses to be sent
anywhere on request.
School children, not only where
there is infantile paralysis. but, in all
districts, should be more adequately
safeguarded from infantile paralysis
and all infectious diseases than now
obtains" is the warning. issued BY
DIR. I. j. Murphy of the Minnesota
Public Health association.
school children in every COM
munity of the state can secure health
supervision without q very great ex-
pense. All localities need not have
the services of a physician, but all
a school nurse.
Communities that are unable to
employ g. permanent nurse should at
least have on temporarily for annual
or semi-annual inspection and ex-
animation. Accordingly the Health
association will maintain a staff OF
experienced nurses and will send a
nurse to any community whether
there have been cases Of infantile
paralysis there or not. They will be
sent on request of a school board OF
of a private committee for as long
or short a time as is desired. Many
communities of the state are going
to sell Red Cross Christmas seals tc
enable them to demonstrate to local
officials the need and value Of a
nurse" ~'

SEA|MEN'6 ACT HELPS
SAILORS ON LAKES
-Four Masters Fined For Shortage
of Crews; Federal Check
Brings Good Results.

The seamen's Compensation law is
probably doing more good on the
Great Lakes this season than many
have realized. Owing to the heavy
lake traffic and the great scarcity Of
available men, it has been extremely
Difficult for vessel masters to: secure
full crews and many captains have
reported to the customs officials at
Duluth as we'll as elsewhere that 1t
has been impossible to secure full
crews. In the latter cases fines have
been imposed.
During the last week four vessel
masters onave reported violations OF
the law because of inability to secure
full crews. The regular fines were
imposed.
With men as scarce as they are, 1t
is doub1y important that vessel men
have a check over them that will
hold them up to certain labor stan
dards. If it were not for the Sea-
mems Act, it is hard to say just how
far lake steamship men would go In
making trips with short crews and
forcing men to work overtime. With
a. heavy fine attached to such Of
lenses, there is a beneficial effect in
that masters will attempt to keep
their crews up to the required STAN
dard.
