Happy Birthday
Celebration

The eighty-sixth birthday anniver-
sary of Grandmother Nuzum was cele-
brated at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Jennie Snodgrass, Monday after
noon, September Is.
Among the guests were Grandmoth-
ers Thomas, Sansburn and George and
Mrs. Smith, ranging in ages from 70
to IS and representing an aggregate
of 416 years. Nearly half q thousand
years of toll and service have combin-
ed to bring these dear grandmothers
to SO ripe an old age.
It cannot but inspire one of young
er generation with awe and reverence
as he beholds the panorama of life
unfolded before him in these lives that
have been lived for the Master.
May Gods richest blessings contin-
ue to be theirs until they answer to
the summons that will bring to them
the contamination Of all joy.

Study Astronomy
At Home

To satisfy the desire to those who
have wanted to know something about
the universe in which we live and who
have had no chance to study it, a
course in popular astronomy is given
by mail by DR.. E. L. Eaton, instruc-
tor in astronomy, through the Exten-
son Division Of the University of Wis
consin.
The course takes up the popular
and untechnical study of the science,
and is aimed to stimulate the imagi-
nation and afford actual information
about the heavens. Part of it is his
torical and discusses important as
Economical discoveries. Special direc-
tons for outdoor study tell the stu
dent how to locate the planets, prin-
cipal stars, clusters and consultations
either with the naked eye or with the
aid Of a telescope.

Blood Poisoning

Until recently big, strong man has
been employed as fireman by a Mil
waukee business concern which has
been more than commonly interested
in the welfare of it's employees. The
fireman isn't working any longer and
the reasons make a very interesting
history and one which should prove
generally instructive.
In the ordinary course of his en-
ployment this man scratched the back
of one of his fingers slightly. Every
employe had been instructed, under
such circumstances, to go at once to
one of the convenient first-aid-cabin
cts, cleanse the wound with alcohol
and Immediately apply tincture of 10
dine, which is part of the equipment.
Instead of doing this the man ignored
the injury IS being too trivial to de
serve any attention.
A few days later his hand became
red, hot, swollen and painful. He Wis
tied a physician who treated and
dressed the hand and told the patient
not to use it for a few days. Con-
trary to this advice, the man went
back to work, grew worse and after
few more days died from general
blood poisoning.
Spurred on by this sad experience,
the company is now engaging a fac
tory nurse to give personal supervis-
ion and to compel, if necessary, the
cooperation of employees who are care
less not alone of their Wn lives and
limbs but of the company's interests
as well. Another company in a SINH
lar case is reported to have been COM
PEELED to pay full death claim notwith
standing the fact that the carelessness
was clearly not that Of the employer.
The latter company, which had pre-
viously employed nurse and provid
ed its injured and sick employees with
the best Of medical and surgical care,
added new employe to insure them
against similar financial loss. The
man is mounted on motorcycle and
calls at the homes of employees who
are absent without notifying their
foremen of an intention to clay off,"
SO much time of employees has been
saved through this means that the
company now considers the liability
payment to have been, Indirectly, the
best investment ever made in their
business.
People whose business it is to know
of the comparatively large number of
instances in which supposedly trivial
scratches result in death are not care
less of minor injuries that occur to
them. -...,.u<.

If you would only have one of these
four things in your farm home-heat,
light, sewage disposal or running wa
ter-which would you choose? Farm
women living in various parts of Wis
consin have chosen running water. H.
L. Russell, dean of the College of Ag-
riculture, sent these women a ques-
tionaire on farmhouse building which
contained this question. The result of
the replies received gave running wa
ter the place of first Importance in
the home; sewage disposal, second;
heat, third; and light fourth. All Of
these housewives agreed that any one
of these improvements is well worth
the money which it costs. The pref
erence for running water gives an
idea of how much it means to a wom-
an when she enters the kitchen, dairy
or bathroom and finds water available.

Get The Inside Track
Give the Boy or Girl Good Start
(By c.. L. Harper)

Have you ever been to county or
state fair? Why Of course! Did you
ever notice how anxious every driver
is to get the inside of the track and a
good start? Why of course you have
and you know as we'll as the drivers
know a big chance of winning the
money depends on the start and every
driver should be keen to have his
horse come ahead under the wire.
Quite natural this, isn't it? Say,
folks, why not apply this same spirit
and logic to the race your boy or girl
is to make in this life? You want
your children to win, do you not
Sure. Then get them into the game
ready for the competition.
Here are some figures, dollars Of
course, that tell you mighty inter-
esting story. Read it and think it
over, Two large groups of boys were
selected in large city-say hun
dred or thousand in each group. One
group left school at IA years of age
and the other group left at Is years.
They were all wage earners and the
career of each group was followed up
to Is years. Note the difference in
results. Did four additional years in
school pay?

shape for another and greater cam
paign Of stock 1otation the storm had
come to ruin him.
The bitterest element in his defeat
was the realization that ONeil, who
had bested him at every turn, was
destined to profit by the very blow
which crushed him. Defeat at the
hands of the copper trust he would
have accepted with a fairly good grace,
but the mere thought that Murray
O'Neil, whom he considered in every
way his inferior, had gained the upper
hand was intolerable. 1t was in keep
ing with Gordon's character that in
stead Of blaming his own judgment he
became furiously angry at the trust for
the mistake Of it's engineers and held
them responsible for his desperate sit
uation. That is was truly desperate he
very soon realized, since disaster to
his railroad project meant that his
stockholders would be around his ears
like swarm of hornets, and once they
understood the true state of affairs at
Hope the complete collapse Of his for
tunes would surely follow.
During the days succeeding the
storm he scarcely knew where to turn,
so harassed was be: yet he never for
moment wavered in his resolve to
make O'Neil pay for his interference
and to exact reckoning from Gloria
Gerard.
Natalie's presence in Kyak confirmed
his belief that O'Neil was interested in
her, and he began to plan stroke by
which he could take revenge upon all
three. 1t did not promise in any way
to help him out of his financial straits,
but at least 1t would give him certain
satisfaction.
He sent word to the girl that he
would like to see her.
