SIX SCHOOLS WILL
PICNIC At jay

Today marks the second of series
of cooperative demonstration picnics
being held under the supervision of
the home and fam demonstration
agents in Escambia and Santa Rosa
counties. 1t will be held at Jay, and
it is expected that a large crowd
will be in attendance, as the enthus-
iasm at the first meeting at Munson
last Saturday will probably attend
the meeting today.
Aside from the excellent musical
program and interesting addresses,
an athletic meet is scheduled to take
place. Six schools participated in
the contest last Saturday, and as
many are enrolled for today.
The athletic contests constitute a
series, to extend through all three
meetings, the school having the high
est percentage at the close to be
awarded a prize. Individual scores
also count, and many of the students
nthe schools are working for the
prizes.

WANT S115 FROM
THE FISH KING

An intervening claim of the Urban
Land Company has been filed in the
libel of A. H. Green VS.. the Fish
King, for $115, which that company
claims is due it under papers, receiv-
ed from A. H. Green. and which have
never been collected.
The intervening bill admits all the
allegations of the libellant in the
proceedings but says that the vessel
owed him $125 more than he is suing
for. To satisfy this claim against
the vessel, it is alleged, the master
of the ship, in the name of the boat,
agreed to pay the libellant this sum-,
with time payments.
This claim was transferred to the
Urban Land Company, the bill says,
and ten dollars was collected, but no
more. 1t is to collect the remainder
that the intervention is made, with
the request that the court order an
equal division of any amount received
from the boat between the libellant
and claimant

yesterday at 4:20 p. M, by Mounted
Officer Steward, on a charge of sell

Indigestion and Constipation,

Indigestion and constipation are
among the most common causes of i'll
health. A man never feels so COM
pletely used up as when his stomach
goes back on him. Fortunately quick
relief may be had by taking Cham
berlain's Tablets, and in most cases
this relief becomes permanent. Do
not give up but take Chamberlain's
Tablets, get we'll and stay we'll as
many others have done. Obtainable

MUCH EXTRA WORK IN MARCH

It's between seasons now when few
persons perspire as much as health
demands. The result is double work
for the kidneys, for the kidneys must
throw out waste matter from the sys
tenn that is eliminated through the
pores when persons perspire. Over
worked, weak or disordered kidneys
need help now. H. B. Stone, Reading,
Pa, writes: whenever I need a kid

Pills. They have been worth their

Cheese Board Given Praise.

toioNing an extensive investigation
conducted by the state council of de-
Tense and State Food Administrator
Magnus Swenson il has been deter
mined that the operations of the Wis
consin cheese boards are not only
legal. but beneficial.
When the Elgin board was closed,
the question was raised by the nation
al food administration as to the legal
sty OF operations of the Wisconsin
cheese boards al Sheboygan. Plymouth,
Muscoda and Highland. Investigation
disclosed that the Wisconsin boards
were unlike the Elgin butter board In
that the former was composed of ac-
tual buyers and sellers and the latter
were men who speculated in futures.
Investigation seems to point to the
conclusion that these boards are rem
dering service to the state and are
not engaged in speculative operation"
says the official report of State Admin
istrator Swenson. AT the present
time there does not seem to be any
necessity for recommending their dis
continuance by the food administra-
ton. The conclusion Is that they are
on the whole very beneficial"

Workers, Policies Cost sf.7ss.ss1.

Net premium income of insurance
companies writing workmen's compen-
sation insurance in Wisconsin In 1916,
was S1.7S3, ss7.
The third annual report on work
mems compensation insurance was is
sued by the industrial commission.
Sixty-six per cent Of the total was
carried by stock companies, IS per
cent by Wisconsin mutuals. 4 per cent
in inter-Insurance exchanges. and 2
per cent by foreign mutuals.
Insurance companies paid out for &C
cidents In 1916, $1.2S9,673. or II per
cent Of the premiums earned. The man
agement expenses totaled S660S,S11.
or 30 per cent of the earned premiums.
This would indicate that the insurance
companies writing compensation in
surance in Wisconsin lost 9 per cent on
their business in 1916.
Deficit Is Offset.
However, the commission in its re-
port states:
This net loss Of per cent will We
Offset to a large degree. and probably
entirely, by the additional premiums
which employers will pay on account
OF the greater pay rolls actually *
pended than the estimated amount up
on which the advance premiums are
based. This does not apply 10 each in
diyidual company but to the total of
all companies"
The total management cost Of stock
companies during 1916 was II per cent
Of earned premiums Of Wisconsin mu-
tuals % per cent; of foreign mutuals
- per cent, and of inter-lnsurance ex-
changes 80 per cent.
The report OF the commission shows
that the average rate collected upon
compensation risks In Wisconsin in
1916, was Sl.22 per 500 of pay roll,
and that the average pure premium
cost was 20 cents.

Several Days Before Storms
Damage Can Be Repaired
Madison Girl WEEDS Arson
Man-Fire Alarm Sunday
Evening

Fully a foot and half of heavy
damp snow fell in this vicinity in the
storm Of Saturday. Telephone and
telegraph wires are down in all di-
rections and it will be several days be-
fore the normal service will be resum-
ed. A crew of men We're busy during
the day repairing the damage in this
village. Madison was one of the very
few villages in this section of the state
that did not have it's electric lighting
system put out of commission. With
the exception of few minutes Satur-
day afternoon the usual services were
given. Four soldiers who were due to
report to Camp Devens Sunday even
ing were snow bound in Madison dur
ing the day after making valiant at
tempts to reach a point where il was
possible to connect with train The
car service over the line of the SOM
erset Traction Co. to Skowhegan was
discontinued at o'clock and was not
resumed Monday noon. Street Com
missioner W. w. Johnson had crews of
men busy during the day Sunday
breaking out the village streets and
sidewalks.
No services We're held at the Con-
gregationa1f church Sunday owing to
the tragedy of Friday evening and the
absence of Rev James S. Clark.
