COMPENSATION ALLOWED
For John CANDLES Loss OF Eye in Stone
shed.

Commissioner OF Industries X. w. Si
monds has ordered the Travellers lnsur
auce company TO pay John Gamble oi
Barre sll week for a period Of eight
and one-siXth weeks ON account OF total
disability and compensation Of sll a
week for 100 weeks for the loss OF an
eye. The finding OF the commissioner is
as follows;
"The petitioner on Oct. l2, 1917, was a
granite cutter in the employ Of James G.
Robertson. The Travellers Insurance
company was the insurer of said Robert .
son under the Vermont workmen's com.
pensation act.
ION Oct. l2 said Gamble, while en-.
gagged in his duties as an employe of
said Robertson. was struck in the left
eye by a piece of steel. He continued at
work until Nov. !, when, by reason of
said accident, he was compelled 10 stop
work On the 2ist day of November the
injured eye was removed by DIR. Jarvis,
specialist, Of Barre, VT.
"The defendant insurance company re-
lies on the case of Sumner VS.. Bristol
Manufacturing company, in which com.
pensation was denied, but that case is
not analogous. The loss of the eve was
not in that ease attributable TO any ac-
cident but was the result of slow poison
ing on account OF oak sawdust.
I'm this case the petitioner on the
18th day of October was struck in the
eye by piece of steel and when the eye
was removed by DIR. Jarvis the steel was
found therein.
From the evidence | find that said
Gamble did receive personal injury by
accident arising out of aud in the course
of his employment: that as result of
said accident he was totally disabled for
a period of eight and one-sixth weeks
and suffered the total loss of his left eye.
His average weekly wage is found TO be
s22.
at is therefore ordered that the Trav-
elers' Insurance company and in case of
It's default, the said James c. Robertson,
pay to the said John Gamble compensa
tion at the rate of Sll per week for pc
riod of eight and one sixth weeks on ac
count OF total disability, and compensa
tion at the rate of Sll per week for 100
weeks for the loss of said eye, together
with all surgical, medical and hospital
services and supplies for the first IA days

Rev. and Mrs. Faville will leave
Kenosha some time this week for their
new pastorate at Oshkosh. They will
carry with them the love and best wish
es of parish that has been richly bene-
fitted by their intellect, their tolera-
tion for the best in modern life and
thought, their deep religion, and their
thoughtful consideration for every mem
Der of the congregation, to whom they
have been not only servants but also
friends in missions Of mercy, unselfsh-
ness, and sacrifice
The general success of Rev. Faville 3
ministry in Kenosha is attested by the
following resolution, recently adopted
by the official board of the First Con-
gregational Church:
Whereas Reverend Theodore r.
Faville, our pastor for five years, has
received call to the First Congrega-
tionaI Church of Oshkosh, Wisconsin,
and the opportunity in that field has in
duced him to resign so as to accept the
call; and
"Whereas this congregation by ,un-
animous vote on December 16, 1917, ac-
cepted his resignation with the deepest
regret, but feeling that fairness to Mr..
Faville required such action;
"Now, therefore, be it resolved:
"That we hereby express to Mr..
Faville our grateful appreciation Of his
work among us. He has been earnest,
sincere and conscientious, loyal to all
members of the congregation, enthus-
iastic in his work and active in all
that tends toward community better
ment. His scholarly sermons have been
source of spiritual help and inspira-
tion to us all. They have interpreted
the spirit of Christ to us and applied it
to modern life and conditions. AS a
Sunday School worker, he is an excel
lent organizer and our Sunday School
has grown in efficiency under his leader
ship.
Throughout the five years of Mr..
Faville's pastorate, he has been ably
and conscientiously assisted by Mrs.
Faville and we wish to express to Mrs.
Faville our keen appreciation of her
cooperation in this work.
eve wish Mr.. and Mrs. Faville
every success in the new work and we
hope and pray that their lives may be
of continued and increasing useful
ness.
cit is ordered that this resolution
be spread upon the church records and

DANA Society Wires Presi-
dent Wilson That Keno
sha Danes Are Ready to
Support America.
The 20ih ANNIVERSARY

Seventy-fve members Of the Keno
sha DANA Society celebrated the
twenty eighth anniversary of their or
ganization in Kenosha Saturday even
ing by sending loyalty telegram to
President Wilson, commencing his pro-
secution of the war and offering theiy
support in every way possible. The
patriotism of the meeting was also
demonstrated by the ovation which
greeted large picture Of President
Wilson which was unveiled at the
front of the hall. The DANA Hall,
where the celebration was held was
fittingly decorated in flags both of
America and of Denmark and speeches
pointed out that for the good of their
native land and their more beloved
adopted country the Danes of Kenosha
should do everything within their pow
er to support the war.
AS chairman of the committee, o.
Rasmussen, sent the following tele-
gram to President Wilson, Saturday
evening:
"We the Kenosha members Of the
United Danish Societies of America,
in assembly at out twenty eighth an
niversary wish to assure you of our
loyalty and support of the manner in
which you have upheld the honor of
our country. We want you to know
that in these grave times you will al
ways find us ready to do what we can
towards making this world safe for
democracy =
Preceding the adoption of the pa
triotic resolution Ole Rasmussen de-
Hvered a short speech of welcome out
lining the work which the society had
done in its more than quarter cen
tury's existence In Kenosha He was
followed by Mr.. Laursen, who spoke
of Denmark and the loyalty owed to
it and by Andrew Nelson, who in glow
ing terms pictured the devotion which
the members Of the society owed to
the United States-the land where
freedom and opportunity awaits the
emigrant. The DANA Ladies through
Mrs. A. Anderson voiced their sup
port OF the nation at war and promis-
ed to do their part in every patriotic
venture of the organization or city.
The program was followed by a
luncheon and dancing and the mem
bers of the society stayed until late
hour celebrating the anniversary of
their organization. The meeting prov
ed one of the most successful in the
history of the order and promises that
its future will be as bright as the past.

JUST so IT'S A UNIFORM.
Interesting Incident at National Capt
tai Shows the AL Prevailing HON.
age to Brass Buttons.

Tt doesn t much matter anymore
what the uniform is like. IF it has a
military cut, a suggestion of chevrons
on the sleeve, and liberal sprinkling
of insignia, it commands the respect and
even the salute of wartime patriots.
A large number Of old men-ffty to
seventy years-are employed as mes
sengers in Washington. A French of
fcer, newly arrived, saluted one in a
very deferential manner and turning
to his more experienced companion
said:
"To what branch of the service do
these old men belong?"
"'The Western Union,' his fellow
officers replied.
The Frenchman was satisfied.
Thereafter he and his compatriots
continued to salute the messenger-meu
just as deferentially as if they were
Marshal Joffre or General Petain.
And yet there are men who say
/" Ism t is funny to see the girls fall for
the uniforms?"

They Made the suggestion Anyway.

A communication from the State
Council of Defense reached the Wom-
ans Commute urging them to use
their influence in having the saloons
closed for the FIVE days the factories
were closed, suggesting that an appeal
be made to the local authorities and to
the Governor if necessary. Also sug-
costing that some form of entertain
ment be provided for the period of in
action and the succeeding Mondays.
AS the communication was not receiv-
ed until Saturday afternoon and in
the meantime the Fuel Administrator
ordered that saloons be closed on Mon
days and places of entertainment al
lowed to close Tuesday instead Of
Monday, no action was taken by the
local committee.

Y. w. G. A. Is Doing It's Bit

A reply has been received to a let
ter from the Woman s Committee, ask
ing particulars regarding accommoda-
tions in Washington for young women
passing the civil service examinations.
The reply states that up to the pres
ent time the Hospitality committee Of
the Y. w. G. A, 14th and G streets,
has been able to find accommodations
for all newcomers who have applied to
them. The average cost of room and
two meals included has been from $35
to $45 per month. Conditions are rap
idly changing however, and the Hos
pitality Committee does not know how
long they will be able to make such
arrangements. Any young women
wishing accommodations in Washing
ton should notify the Hospitality Com
mittee as far in advance as possible Of
their expected arrival.

Women in War Work
They BOUGHT Their share.

Mrs. L. NJ. Theirs, chairman of The
Woman s Liberty Loan committee, re-
ports that women in the city and coun-
try were investors in bonds to the
amount of $203, 450.
Members of the committee sold
bonds to women to the amount of sos,
5O0-many having bought of banks
and from members of the men s com
mittee-not knowing that they would
be solicited by a committee of women.

'sLet's cash and Carry

At a recent meeting of the Won
ans Committee of the County Coun-
Gil of Defense the leash and carry
system was discussed and report
made to the Retailers Association that
the women stood ready to cooperate
and uphold any system that might be
put into effect by the merchants or the
Food Administration, that the women
of Kenosha stood ready to do their
share in spite of inconvenience, in
spite of hardship, in any patriotic
move deemed advisable by the Gov
eminent.
A suggestion was made that it might
seem advisable to have one centralized
delivery day for flour, potatoes and
other heavy articles, with not more
that one delivery day to one person,
and for which charge would be made.
1t now seems that the downtown
merchants contend that the "cash and
carry" system would put them out of
business because they would lose the
trade that has been their mainstay for
years. Unquestionably it is not the de-
sire Of the Government to put any
man out of business and if the mer-
chants of Kenosha are forced to close
their doors should this system 90 into
effect, it will be entirely the fault of
the women Of Kenosha. We women
are the buyers, we are the individuals
to whom the merchants cater for trade,
and if we are so unpatriotic as to des-
ert the merchant who has served us
well, just because it is more convent
emit to buy at the nearest store, GER
tainly the claim of failure can be laid
at our door. We must be loyal to the
men who have served us faithfully all
these years, who have responded to
our whines and inconsiderate demands
for service without a word of com
plant, who have delivered to us up
on request cake of yeast or a pound
of sugar at the expense of gasoline
and half an hour of the delivery man IS
time without murmur. Tt will cause
us Inconvenience Of course, but we
nave u6N6r u6dIQ OF HAL refusing
to stand in the trenches, up to his
knees in mud, or possibly with frozen
feet, because it was inconvenient It
is mere a question of patriotism than
of convenience for it is another chance
for us to do our share in personal sac
rifce. Let us grasp our opportunity
cheerfully and help out the merchants
and the Food Administration who are
seeking to solve this problem; let us
do our share and "cash and carry
whether the Government demands it |
Or not, let us show our merchants they |
have no cause to fear the loyalty of
Kenosha women, let us stand by the
men who are willing to prove their
patriotism by approving this method,
even though they think it will hurt
their business.
Few of us realize what the Food Ad- !
is doing for us. Without
this hand at the helm prices would be
out of sight, we would be paying ST
a pound for sugar, 10000 a barrel for
-four and many staple articles would
be out of our reach entirely.

New Rules for Food-Patriots.

New rules with the object of saving
more wheat and meat have been sent to

and one meal every other day in the
week must be wheatless. Tuesday and
