COMMISSION FOR T. R.
RESTS WITH WILSON

Col Roosevelt has no chance of being
Incorporated into the American lighting
force in Mexico unless President Wilson
issues a call for volunteers This is the
mature Judgment of the War Depar rt-
ment, arrived at not because Col. Roose-
velt has offered his services, because he
mas not, but because press reports from
Oyster Bay stated yesterday morning
that the Colonel was organizing .di-
vision OF four regiments of infantry
two Of cavalry and one of field artillery.
Incidentally, army officers explained that
the backbone of an army division is nc
less than nine regiments of infantry
ana that the Colonel's proposed organi.
cation is nearer the size of brigade.
Should the Colonel volunteer, after the
President has called for volunteers, the
President would have the sole decision
as to whether to give him commission
as major general or brigadier general.

FROST BITE GOES
IN COMPENSATION
Important Opinion by the State
Compensation Board Is
Issued Today

The State Workmens Compensation
Board in an opinion rendered to-day
upheld the award of Referee George
w. Beemer, of Scranton, that a claim
ant for compensation on the ground
that he had been incapacitated by
frostbite was entitled to relief under
the compensation act. The case arose
when an employe of a quarry COM
pany had the fingers of both hands
frozen to such an extent that he was
totally incapacitated.
The employing company appealed,
contending that the injury was not
one on which compensation should be
paid, since it was due to a condition
not possible for an employe to control
or avoid. and that the claimant might
have avoided injury by wearing warm
gloves, and further that it was risk
common to all persons whose business,
employment or pleasure called them
outdoors.
In the opinion of the board, it is
held that English compensation cases
cited do not apply, but that freezing
iuries by accident in Massachusetts
and by the Solicitor General of the
United States in constituting the federal
act. The opinion concludes: Frost
bite causes an immediate change in
and injury to the part affected; 1t
can not be considered a disease in any
proper sense of that word. 1t is of
sudden origin, and is, therefore, Vio-
lence to the physical structure of the
body and compensate injury"

.SWAMPS SHOULD
BE DRAINED NOW
Pennsylvania Has Large Areas
Which Could Be Turned
Into Producing Land

Pennsylvania has many swamps
that could be very easily drained and
turned into the richest farm lands,
says Charles G. McLain, drainage and
water supply engineer of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
These sWamps are usually very rich
and produce good crops of anything
planted there" says Mr.. McLain, "and
as a rule all of them have an outlet
of sufficient depth to allow good
drainage. The best way to go about
the draining is to put through a good
sized open ditch with a few branch
bitches to get the surplus water away
and allow for the natural setting of
the ground to a compactness that will
then take place.
when this settlement has taken
place q good system of underdrainage
can be arranged. In doing this the
large open bitches can be filled as they
interfere with economical operations
on account of the time taken up in
turning the teams on the small lands.
BY working the entire surface longer
rows can be used and much time
saved in cultivation, planting and har-
vesting.
TT has been my pleasure to have
laid out drainage systems in a number
of these swamps and all are giving
good results. If you have one of the
swampy or wet places on your farm
you are losing the use of possibly the
most productive land you may own.
Why continue to cultivate steep hill
sides where the work is both hard and
expensive when YOU can improve this
lew level land and use the hillsides for
a permanent pasture land?
THE reports from parties who have
developed their low lands are very en-
couraging. as all indicate a much
greater return with less expense and
labor. The cost of this drainage is
not prohibitive, for the greater re-
turns soon pay 1t back. Even on land
that is constantly cultivated the return
is sufficient to pay all expense in a
very few years"
