HEAD ON AUTO COLLISION.
Big Nebraska Car Badly Demolishes
Overland Owned by WIN. BOsackcr,
and Makes Getaway.

Saturday evening about 6 o'clock
VIM. Bosacker was returning from
Glenwood accompanied by Mrs.
Thompson of Little Falls, Mrs. Rapp
of Long Prairie and Sam Basze of
Moose Lake. He came up to a
large Mitchell car on the hill near
the Dubois farm west Of the city. The
road was very slippery from the rain
and Mr.. Bosacker pulled his car to
the side of the road and stopped.
The Mitchell was apparently beyond
the control of it's driver and bore down
striking them full, badly injuring the
Overland. The occupants had jumped
out before the car struck. The Mitch
ell bore a Nebraska tag, No. 96,3O8.
After the collision the driver backed
away, and getting good start drove
on, without as much as inquiring as
to the damage he had caused. He will
be located, if possible, and made to
pay for the damage. The tourist
bore all the ear marks of road hog.

The understanding of the new
state auto license law, which goes

that the fee will be SIS for a term O.
three years, instead of Sl.5O for "

the past three years. 1t SEEM
though, that under the new law, yo''
will be able to get license for "
single year, as a letter from the SOC
rotary of state says "Tags for an+o'
will be SIS for three years, So for -
first year, and S1.50 for each OF ~
next years. Persons who buy c"'',
now must, under the present law
pay the full $1:5O for a tag which <
good only to January 1. However
it is a very small amount and The
new fee for tags is not as high a:
in some states where car owners pay
from $1,000 up.

Two thousand dollars was the sum
voted by the commissioners OF Rem
Vile county to provide county nurse,
whose chief duty will be to make eff
ficient citizens either foc peace or Tor
war out of the children in the rural
districts, asserts DR.. I. j. Murphy, OF
the Minnesota Public Health Assocla-
ton. Continuing DR.. Murphy states:
GIN some counties the commissioners
think that $4,000 is too large sum TO-
allow for safeguarding the health OF
an entire county. Counties which have
not as yet instituted any health work
in rural schools should vote at least
$500 for trial period. Counties that
do not demand an appropriation for
rural health work are in decidedly
backward class. Although no other
county voted as much for a single
year as Renville has, several allow
$500 annually; others appropriate
sums varying from $500 to $1,000 for
temporary nurse. After trial per-
iod as soon as the people of the county
get to see what the work means to
them there is usually demand for
permanent nurse. During the past
year nurses have been employed in
some twenty-four Minnesota counties;
the number of school children found
with one or more physical defects
varied from IS per cent to 80 per cent
of the total number examined in each
county"
