INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE
NOW IN EFFECT

Employers are conclusiyely pre-
sumed to have rejected the Nevada
Industrial Insurance act as amend.
ed to take effect July l. unless they
have filed written acceptance of the
act with the Industrial commission.
Several weeks ago the commission
inangurated an educational cam
paign. calling the attention of con-
tributors to important changes in the
law to become effective July LIST.
First, was the required written notice
OF acceptance of the act. Second, the
contributor was notified that the
commission is directed to collect
premiums, from every employer ac-
cepting the act, unless the employer
files written notice with the commits
sion of his intent to provide medical
care and attention for injured work
men. The employers were further
notified that on or before July /,
premiums must be paid in advance on
and were expressly cautioned that fail.
ure TO pay premiums in advance oper-
ates as a rejection of the act.
The commission supplied contribu.
tors with copies of the act as amend
ed by the last legislature, also a brief
showing the effects of the 1917
amendments. The blanks. employers
Notice OF Intent To Provide Accident
Benefits" were supplied by the com.
mission.
During the last few days the mails
have brought very many notices of
acceptance as well as checks and
drafts in payment of the advance
premiums required. In fact many OF
the employers, awakening to a real.
lzation OF the Importance of the mat.
ter, at a late hour, telegraphed word
that they were forwarding notices of
acceptance and remittances for pre-.
miums. II is thought that within a
day or two practically all employers
within the state will have accepted
the act.
One contributor wrote that he was
enclosing check for the S9455 pre-
MUM on his estimated July payroll.
The check enclosed, which was made
out by another member of the firm
was for S49.55.

are through with the days manual

Immediately ding in" to their tactics
books.
The only time they have to sing Is
during the week end layoffs. and they
scatter from the camp to their homes
and elsewhere. They seek the chance
to raise their voices in unison and re.
lease the romantic and temperamental
exhuberance pent up by the prohibi.
lions of the camp routine. They want
the open road too. and a chance to
swing their legs and arms until they
are tired.

good shooting and they are trying as

Regarding the psychological side
therefore, the rockies are given rest
periods. and their week ends on, In
order that they will not become de-
pressed. During these periods they
are told to forget all about the rou.
tine. and go out and enjoy themselves
as they see fit, so long as they do not
deal too lightly with the regulations.
In forced march, however, there
is no opportunity for such periods, so
the men must be given the best re-
taxation that can be afforded other
wise. The U. S. government has de-
cided after taking leaf from the his
tory OF the European war, that sing
ing affords this relaxation.

The officers. who are kept in close
touch wit hthe conduct of military af.
fairs abroad, have been told how the
singing OF "Tipperary" aided many a
spirited British attack, and The Mar
sellaise' heightened the determination

CANNING LESSON
NUMBER TWO

Canned foods spoil because bacteria
or micro-organisms are put UP alive
with the food and gradually extend
their colonies OF descendants. There
fore If you can seal food in Jars and
then by some process kill the germs
inside OF the Jars. the food will keep.
The process by which this killing is
done is called sterilization. says to-
days bulletin from the National
Emergency Food Garden commission,
cooperating with this newspaper to
urge the housewives of Elko to pre-
serve all excess food this year that
might otherwise be wasted.
These germs can be killed by heat.
Careful laboratory studies have de-
yeloped the amount of heat necessary
for sterilization and the length of
time for which jars of food should be
kept at the given temperature. The
heat OF live steam or of boiling water
is sufficient to kill these organisms,
and this heat does not have to be
maintained for very long intervals.
Instead OF the hours of cooking is
the old-fashioned way of canning, Jars
may be sterilized in most cases in a
few minutes.
There are several methods of ster-
ilization, many of the requiring
more or less expensive equipments.
The best o fall, because it is the sim
plest and cheapest, and because 1t can
be done with implements, in every
kitchen, is known as the coldpack
canning method. II is the method
taught in most domestic science
schools and by verious departments
of agriculture and state universities.
You can buy expensive equipment for
cold-pack canning. But a wash-boiler
with tight cover and equipped with
false bottom. which even an anna.
teur carpenter can make, will do the
trick as quickly an das satisfactorily
as any OF the costly equipments. In
tomorrow's bulletin the process will
be explained.

TRULY A FREAK.

What is perhaps one of the most
remarkable freaks in the horticul-
tural line can be seen at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. NJ, A. Moore, on
Pleasant street. An American Beau
ty rose bush which last year bore
large American Beauty roses of the
most pronounced type, this year has
suddenly bloomed out in the most
perfect pink peonies that even a for
list would delight in. Every flower is
as perfectly developed as the roses
the same bush bore last season.
A few feet away is a peony bush
that last year bore peonies. This
season the bush is almost bare. The
roses have completely disappeared
and on the parent stem that bore
them there is, as stated before, a
complete family of the loveliest pink
peonies. The result of the strange
freak is that the rose bush, while
not bearing, is still barren, and the
peony bush, while barren, is not
bearing. Anyhow" as Mr.. Dooley
says. "tis a strange divil NV a
mix-up."

PARIS CHAUTAUQUA JULY 2, 8, 4
5, 6 AND7.

If the signs point right Paris is
going to have a most successful
Chautauqua this summer on the
above dates. 1t is a little early per-
haps to go into details of the Chau-
tauqua plans, and in fact many of
them are not yet decided upon, but
with announcement of the program
and the general interest which is al
ready manifest, but one in which a
great many people will be immense
ly interested.
AS to the sale of the season tick
cts, every live business mar in town
will have tickets to sell when the time
comes. Nm one need be troubled
about finding place to get tickets
But the committee is not going to
fool themselves by sitting by and
waiting for persons to cone in and
buy tickets. That's all very we'll in
theory, but the way to round them
UP is to go out and bring them in.
So you may depend upon il, some
one will call on you within a short
time. And it would be fine for you
to have your mind made up to go by
that time and have the money ready.

FINED FOR FAILURE TO GET
INTO ARMY.

Frank Henry Parker, colored, GER
tainly considers himself an unlucky
individual, with all the evidence to
support his belief.
Parker was placed under arrest by
the Paris police few days ago on
warrants charging him with va
grancy and committing a breach of
the peace. When presented in Police
Court for hearing on the charges,
he was told by Judge January that
he must either go to work or go to
war.
Parker chose the latter alternative
and in company with Judge Janu
airy, went to the court house to en-
list in the service. After rigid ex-
animation he was turned down on &C
count of some physical disability. He
was then hailed back into court, and
tried on the vagrancy charge, being
assessed SIS and costs.
Parker pleaded that he wanted a
chance to- go to work since he could
not get into the army. Judge jan
uary, recognizing Parker's willing
ness to serve his country on the mr.
ing line. and his ability to do his
bit" in another way. secured him a
position with a farmer near Paris.
Parker gladly accepted the proffered
clemency and with the fine and costs
sidestepped, departed for the farm.

Martha Joe Fightmaster, the eigh-
teen-months-old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Forest Fightmaster, was ia
tally scalded at their home in North
Middletown about eleven o'clock
Monday morning, lingering in great
agony until 500 o'clock Tuesday
morning, when death relieved her
sufferings.
The accident happened in the
kitchen>of the Fightmaster home,
and was particularly distressing. The
child's mother was using scalding
water from a teakettle TO wash the
kitchen sink, and in turning, tripped
over her little daughter, who was
playing on the floor. Both fell, and
the scalding water poured over the
child, BURNING her side and shoulder
fearfully. The mother also received
severe burns about the knees, hands
and feet, but her condition is not Sc
rious. Every medical attention was
promptly given the child, but there
was no chance to save her life.
The body of the child was token
to the home Of DR.. and Mrs. John
Mastin. in Cynthiana, Tuesday night.
The funeral was held at the Martin
home yesterday afternoon at four
o'clock, the burial following on the
family lot in Battle Grove Cemetery.
Mrs. Fightmaster before her marri-
age was Miss Bessie B. Martin, adopt
ed daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Jos. B..
Martin, in Cynthiana. Tuesday night.
a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. Fight
master, Of Cynthiana, and is propri-
etor of the auto bus line recently es-
