JACKSON CALLS
FOR MORE CARE
Says That Industrial Losses
May Affect the Nation When
1t Goes TO Warning

Warning that Pennsylvania must
do more to prevent accidents among
her workers while the nation may
call for 100000 men from this State
was given to-day by Commissioner
of Labor and Industry John Price
Jackson. He declares that an army
of even greater numbers will be re-
quired to maintain the army in the
field
'Industrial safety has become a
war measure. There were 291 work
ers killed in Pennsylvania industries
and 23,037 injured during the month
of March alone" said he There
have been 750 killed in the industries
since January /, while the total of
killed and injured for the first three
months of the year in the industries
of the State reads like an European
war casualty list. 1t shows 64,322
persons either killed or hurt.
~ hope employers and en-
ployes will enlist everywhere in u
campaign for greater industrial
safety so that the workers at home
can keep up the supplies for the men
who will go with the colors. We are
losing human resources and at the
same time we are compelled to pay
big sums from material resources
for compensation.
During March 154 agreements
for compensation to dependents OF
workers were filed in the Workmens S
Compensation Bureau of the De-
partment of Labor and Industry in
volving a total award or S410,16S.4S
In addition to that amount, COM

during the month of March alone
aggregated $209,213.S0, making the

Obituary.

The death angel entered the home
of Johnnie Mcpherson, Of Rochester,
KY, Aug. %, and took from him his
beloved wife and companion. Mrs.
Mcpherson was only sick about "a
hours during her last illness, there
fore was not permitted to talk to
any of the family, but only mention
ed desire to see her dear boy and
husband las they were away from
home at the time of her death.
She had lived a consistent men,
Der of the Baptist church for a num-
Der of years and had lived so close
to the Lord, we have no doubt but
she was willing and resigned to His
will. Her many friends and acquain-
tanees could testify to her unselfish
life and her many deeds of charity
and noble traits of character. Mrs.
Mcpherson once lived in Martin, for
about one year. She was the only
sister of Mrs. j. G. Young.
"Let us sorrow not as those who
have no hOpe," she is not dead, but
only fallen asleep.

81 per bushel; nor is it as high as
shoes at SO, flour at So per 24-pound
sack, sugar at IL cents per pound.
1t is not as great an increase as has
been made on every other article
grown on the farm, manufactured
or sold by the retailer. And if there
is any farmer, any manufacturer or
any retail dealer who does not feel
able to pay this price, we feel sorry
for him, and make this proposition:
That if you will bring the Enterprise
as much corn for years subscrip-
ton, as much wheat, as much hay,
as much sorghum molasses, as much
cotton, the same amount of sweet or
Irish potatoes, the same quantity Of
beans, peas or turnips or apples; or
if the retail dealer will sell us pair
of shoes, suit of clothes, bucket
of lard, a side of bacon, hat, shirt,
bar of soap, box of matches, a wa
gon, set of harness, buggy-an au-
tomobile at the same price you got
for any of these articles a year ago,
the Enterprise will go in proportion.
You can't afford to do it. We
are not expecting you to do. it. We
don't want you to try to do it-nelth-
err can we furnish a newspaper at
the rate of 81 per year.
! Now, if you feel that you can't IN,
vest $3.50 year for the county news
for the good wife and children, DO
not think hard of us, but let us still
have your good will and friendship
and a good word from you, and,
maybe, when wheat is 81, corn Sl5,
hogs $35, cattle $20-and so on
you will be able to pay $3.50 for the
county paper which has stood by you
in every undertaking for your well
fare and good

for this reason this year. However,
we do not want to quit. We have
grown up in this line of work. We
are attached to it. We are attached
to our patrons who have been so 10y
al and generous and liberal toward
US all these years.
Again, we could reduce the size Of
the paper to just four pages, but that
would prove very unsatisfactory to
our readers. AS it now is the En-
terurise is crowded to the very guards
every week to print the news. There
is never an inch to spare-no space
is wasted. Thus we could not re-
duce the size of the paper. Anyhow,
the public has been so accustomed
to receiving a large eight-page paper
every week from Dresden that to re-
duce the size to four pages would
not speak we'll for this furnishing
town and community. We don't
want to do anything that would de-
tract from Dresden.
We do not want to take snap judg-
ment on our patrons, either, and are
going to give all until Jan. l, 1918,

After that all subscriptions will be
$3.50, payable in advance. If you
feel that you want to renew for the
Enterprise for one, two or three
years at the dollar rate you have
this privilege, provided you do so
before the date given above.
Now, $1.50 per year for a news

them in this rule.
