industrial commission, under penalty
of a forfeiture of $50. The commits
sion states that most large employ
ers make such reports promptly, but
that many small employers seem to
be under the impression that reports
to insurance companies are all that
is required. But the commission un-
der the law cannot accept reports
from insurance companies and needs
the reports from employers to check
up whether injured workmen are be-
ing paid compensation in accordance
with the law. The commission is es-
pecially anxious at this time to secure
prompt reports from employers upon
accidents because it is emphasizing
"saftey first" and is endeavoring to
check the increase in accidents. The
engineering staff of the commission
goes over the accident reports when
received and takes up with employers
cases in which it appears that better
guarding would have prevented the &C
c1dent. Very good results appear to
have followed this innovation in the
safety work of the commission. For
the first time since the war began in
Europe accidents during the last few
months have been decreasing, and this
seems to be true only in Wisconsin.
The commission now appeals to en-.
plOyers to cooperate to the fullest ex-
tent in this important work and it
states that one of the most important
means to this end, is the prompt re-
porting of accidents.

WaukeSha county authorities are
becoming alarmed over the spread
of an epidemic Of rabies prevailing for
several months, which has invaded
cattle raising centers throughout the
community After being bitten by
stray dog several weeks ago, COWS
belonging to David Howell and Bur-
Ike Brothers, developed strange sick
ness and died. Following an investi-
cation Of the animal at the Howell
farm, DR.. w. w. Downing sent the
head to the state laboratories at Madi-
son, where the case was diagnosed as
rabies. Burke Brothers lost two ami
mails under similar circumstances. The
fatalities occurred in district where
stockmen have some of the finest bred
herds in the country.
Under an order from the state de-
partment of health recently, dogs are
required to be confined to premises for
a period of ninety days.

Wisconsin hillsides are in danger of
losing much Of their fertility through
erosion unless their owners realize
that special care must be given them
according to free bulletin, Keep
Our Hillsides from Washing" issued
by the experiment station of the uni
versity Of Wisconsin. Fifty per cent
OF the farms in the state are subject
to erosion of some Importance, and on
farms in southwestern Wisconsin,
erosion occurs on rs of every 100. The
losses Of fertility caused by erosion
are due to the removal of organic mat
ter and the fine silt Of the washing
away Of much valuable plant food.
These losses can be controlled or pre-
vented on thousands Of acres Of land
by careful tillage, alternating crops
on hillsides, using horizontal channels
and terraces and protecting ravines
and water courses, when the land is
being cleared, trees on wooded hill
sides should be removed gradually. If
all the trees are removed at once,
washes and gullies are formed before
the grass has time to grow. Side hill
land should be used for pastures I'M
less it is absolutely necessary to grow
crop there. Oats and peas, sweet
clover and broom grass, make good
substitutes for crops which require
cultivation.

Naked as the day he was born, Allen
Louis OF Ladysmith, was found by
William Miller, in his chicken coop,
shortly after midnight recently. Mil
Ter heard a disturbance and going
out discovered the shivering man ly-
Ing Oh the floor of the coop. He took
Louis into the house and sent for Bob
Woodland, who locked him up. He is
still in the city Jail and clearly de-
mented. Louis came to Ladysmith
May %, and since that time has board
ed at the Commercial hotel He has
never talked to anyone only to answer
questions and to say that he had lived
in Philadelphia. He spent no money
was always on the job, paid his board
and the inference is that he must have
had considerable money in his clothes.
The garments he wore have disappear
ed. He told Chief Lozier that he was
hypnOtiZed by some one who took his
money. He went down the railroad
tracks and marks where he rolled
down the twenty-foot embankment
near the Miller place are evident His
body was scratched up. Whether he
was held up and robbed or simply
went insane and lost his clothes is a

CALIFORNIA TRIMS |. OF w.

Berkeley, Cal, Nov. 8. - The University of California Saturday de feated the University of Washing ton by a score of 27 to o. The northern boys were unable to mak a single score against the team work of their southern rivals. This is the first real defeat the Washing ton team has suffered for ten sue cessiye years.
 Coach Hunt of Washington at tributes the defeat of washington to the fact that all the good men ill the University had either en- listed or had been drafted and raw material was used to make the team. The Washington boys were ligh'er than their opponents and fought hard througOut the entire contest but could make no headway
