COMPENSATION LAW As 1T AZ
FECTS THRESHERMEN.

All threshermen doing custom work
must comply with the workmen's com
pensation law and take insurance
guaranteeing the payment of any ben
efits that may become due to any of
their employees because Of accidental
injuries.
Men owning threshing machines
used solely to thresh their own grain
raised and produced by themselves
need not insure unless they voluntar
lily desire to do so.
Men employed by farmers to assist
in threshing are considered as en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits the
same as other farm operations. Thresh-
ermen must procure insurance for all
men employed by them but need not
do so for men assisting in threshing
operations but employed by the far
mer for whom the threshing is being
done.
The insurance rates are based upon
the actual payroll expended by the
thgeshermen during the season. In the
first instance, this payroll is estima-
ted and a premium is charged upon
such estimate. At the conclusion of
the threshing season a statement will
be taken from the threshermen, under
oath. showing the actual payroll ex-
pended and if such expenditures are
less than the estimate, the difference
in premiums will be refunded to the
threshermen. If the payroll should be
greater than the estimate, the differ
ence would be collected at the time of
readjustment
The states fund rate is S5.15 on each
S100 of payroll To this should be ad-
ded a flat policy fee of 50. The state
/ fund is lower than the casualty COM
panies' rates and in addition it fixes
no minimum premium which the small
Operator is obliged to pay other than
the SO policy fee.
If the experience of all threshermen
1 throughout the state should be favor
able and it is ascertained at the end
of the year that more money has been
collected than is required TO pay the
! losses and to comply with the legal re-
quirements of the law, the difference
will be refunded to the threshermen
the state fund making no profit what
ever out of the transaction but merely
paying losses and complying with the
legal requirements of the law.
The same applies to pea hullers
scan threshers, hay bailers. cOmbin
.ers, tractors for plowing and similal
machinery, where custom work is done
Blanks for applying for insurance
may be secured upon application L

ALLIES DRIVE GERMANS BACK
FROM MARINE TO THE AISNE
Americans Reported to Have Swept Germans
Off Their Feet, Captured Twelve Towns and
Thousands of Prisoners.

The big German offensive begun
Sunday, extending from the Marne to
far east of Rheims, has not only bro
ken down, but may have turned into
a rout Checked almost at the outset,
with losses to the Germans estimated
at from $4,000 to 100000 the first two
days, the Germans have not only been
unable to hold the narrow strip of
ground captured in their initial rush.
but have been forced to give up some
ground held by them before the drive
began.
a bulletin yesterday evening said
the Americans and French had driven
the Germans back three or four miles
over a twenty-five mile front, and the
allied attack was still progressing, and
most satisfactorily. An unconfirmed
report was sent out that 10000 German
prisoners had been taken and that the
German losses in the preceding "a
hours were 100000. French and Amer
ican losses during the same time were
placed at 10000.
Whether these will be confirmed
by later news is of course uncertain,
but there is no doubt that tremen-
dous losses have been inflicted on the
enemy. The first days fighting is de-
scribed as having been more fierce
than the battle of Picardy where
the German dead we're piled by thou
sands in front of the allied trenches.
No slaughter within the same length
of time is said to have equalled it.
General Pershing reports that the
Americans have gained complete con-
troll of the south bank of the Marne
in their sector, which is west OF
Rheims, and the nearest point to
Paris on the present battle front 1t
was in this sector that the Americans
declined to stop and rest before be-
ginning a counter attack, as carried
in Wednesdays dispatches. The Ger
mans have ceased their activity in
this sector and are bending all their
efforts to the immediate vicinity OF
Rheims and Eppernay. -,.
The allied offensive begun yesterday
morning on the front between the
Aisne and the Marne was going ahead
at 2 D. m. and for the most part had
been more successful than expected.
The enemy was not able to Withstand
the shocks of the Americans and their
allies had delivered and we're still de-
livering. AS a whole, the German flank
at that hour was menaced and the
enemy troops were in imminent dan
ger of being forced to surrender. This
news was taken to mean, in Washingn-
ton. that a finishing blow had been
delivered to the German offensive.
Twelve towns are said TO have been
taken by the Americans, in one OF
which eighteen guns were captured.
In the region of scissors, where
the attack was especially successful
the Americans carried everything be-
fore them by storm and early in the
afternoon of Thursday had passed
their final known objective and were
still pressing on.

IRENE SUNDAY EVENING.

Sunday evening. July 21st, old
Wives for New" the latest Cecil B. De
Mile special picture production for
Aircraft. will be the great feature at
the Irene theater.
This remarkable photoplay is a pic
turization by Jeanie Macpherson OF
David Graham Phillips celebrated no
vel of the same name which scored so
decided a success several years ago
and which is still popular as being
one OF the strongest eXpOsitiOns Of
contemporary American life and man
ners ever produced by any writer.
In this story. Mr. Phillips has taken
up for discussion the lives of man
and woman who marry young in the
heat of youthful passion and who rue
t bitterly alter when the wife be-
COMES slovenly and obese. while the
man gains rather than loses in every
way. They are wealthy. but this does
not stay the march of events WHICH
in the end result in divorce. Another
woman. who is really noble, enters
into The life of the man, and thus the
eternal triangle is established with
happy results.
This picture is a remarkable one in
every respect and in the development
of the story. elegant stylish gowns,
valued at $4,000. are worn by the
women in the cast. The support is
practically all-star with the result
that the characterizatiOns are of ar
tistic power seldom seen in a motion
picture.

SOME JOBS HARD TO QUIT.
Members oi War Boards are Appointed
For the War. and May Not BE Able
to Quit at Will.

County Officials serving as mem
bers of local boards without pay. says
the Boise Statesman of July is. are
facing a peculiar situation as election
approaches If they are not reelected
these men must continue TO serve as
members of their respective boards
without pay, which under some cir
cumstances. would work "a hardship
on those whose duties with the boards
would take them from their places
of business. Their acceptances OF the
appointments was for the duration OF
the war
Although no provision is made for
designations. as the men from a tech
nical standpoint are drafted. in Ger
tain cases where board members
would be unduly imposed upon they
have been permitted to resign.
However, many county officials who
earlier in the season announced that
they would not be candidates for
reelection are recOnsidering the mat
ter. and in some instances the original
announcements have been rescinded.
On this point the adjutant general
recently advised an inquirer as fol-
lows: Theoretically you are drafted
for that work and the government. of
course, could refuse to release you
but there seems TO be no inclination
upon the part of anyone TO impose
any unnecessary hardship upon those
who. in good faith. and for good rea-
sons, ask TO be relieved from the per
formance of this duty"

Cutting wheat for hay. instead of
