Martin Nelson Hurt

Mr.. Martin Nelson, the faith
full and efficient block signal
keeper of the Southern was right
seriously hurt last Saturday,
while out on duty on the road.
He was at work near the Joe
Williams mill, a couple of miles
up the road, when something
from a passing freight train
struck him on the head, knock
ing him unconscious. Some one
at the mill saw him and Mr..
Williams hurried him to town
for medical attention. His head
was severely cut and bruised
and this, com bined with the ner-
vous shock, has made the case
more serious than was thought,

to the report of his elevation,

that both by personal merit and

SELLING THE MOON

Nebraska takes the cake for
novelty in Red Cross work.
At Takoma recently the moon
was auctioned off for 5000. A
farmers WhiSkers were auction
ed off and brought $500. Toward
the close of the auction the
'Star Spangled Banner was
played and the tune brought
$1,000.
At Oakland, Neb., a flock of
wild geese honked and the honk
brought $1,000.
At the packing house in Oma-
ha the mission on hogs goes
to the Red Cross. Nebraska
would probably be able to sell a
hole in the sea for a million.
Nebraska is a land OF many
novel men as well as move
things.
Its patriotism this year seems
! to be 100 per cent active.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 26.-war-
time efficiency in great industrial
states is suffering because of pre-
ventable sickness among wage earn
ers, according to the findings in an
official preliminary report by the
health insurance commission of Penn
sylvania.
In Pennsylvania alone, the report
states, there is loss of S,400,000
working days each year, and n wage
loss of Sl6,500.O 900 due entirely to pre-
vcntable illness of workers.
Every worker in Pennsylvania, the
commissions investigators found.
loses on an average six days year
because of illness. At this rate the
loss to the shipyards would be 600 900
days annually, or time enough to
build 1000 big ships. The loss to the
coal mines would be 2,1a2 900 working
days, in which time 4,500,O0O tons
could be mined, enough to keep all the
people of n great metropolis warm for
more than n year.

END PROFTTEERS
IN WASHINGTON
GOV E RN M E MT TAKES
DRASTIC ACTION.
Gives Protection to Thousands of War
Workers at National Capital by
Providing Better Hous-
ing Facilities.

Government action is making condi-
tions of life easier for thousands of
girls who have come to Washington to
do their part in department offices
toward carrying out the nations great
war program.
Housing was the first serious prob
lem. Many girls found difficulty in
getting rooms and landladies became
eXorbitant in their demands. This ten
dency toward profiteering was prompt
ly rcmedied. Congress passed the
Salisbury bill, prohibiting increases
in rents in the District of Columbia
without adequate reason; and next
the government decided to 20 into the
housing business itself. 1t is now con-
structing large dormitories between
the capitol and the union station.
These dormitories. II is expected, will
accommodate about 5000 war workers.
The third housing step was to COM
mandeer vacant houses. At first, sew
enteen buildings were taken. Some
had been vacant for long time; the
others were vacant because their own
ers or lessons were absent from Wash
ington most of the year. The num-
ber of Communicated houses has late
ly been very largely increased, and
the government plans 10 assist capa-
Bile women in fitting them up for lodg-
ing houses. The buildings will be to
some extent under government super
vision.
The latest development has been
regulation of the lunch rooms. The
proprietors of these establishments in
certain instances evidently came to
the conclusion that the widely known
phrase work OF fight" actually meant
''profiteer or fight" and showed that
they preferred to profiteer. Prices
were in some cases doubled overnight
and food costs generally climbed al
most daily. For girls on modest SAL
aries the problem of getting enough
to eat was decidedly real.
The government has now laid down
the regulation that the cost of meals
shall not exceed 81 day. and hopes
to enforce it thru pressure of public
opinion. II, however. that method
fails. the government has other plans,
one of which is revocation of licenses.

SOLDIERS TO VOTE MINERS INCREASE
ADJ JUTANT GENERAL HARRIS Is
SUES ORDER TO THIS EFFECT.
Commanding Officers at Forts in State
Are Notified to Give Men Time
to Go to the Polls.

Colorado soldiers will be permitted
to vote at the elections on November
., according to a telegram received
from Adjutant General Harris by the
secretary of state this week. The tele-
gram was in response to a request
that ruling be made instructing the
commanding officers of the various
army posts and training camps within
the state TO permit the men in their
commands to leave the precincts of
the camps for period of time suffi-
cient for the casting of their ballot.
In order that a soldier may take
advantage of the voting privilege he
must, according to the state law, Sc
cure certificate of his registration
in writing from the county clerk of
his county. The commanding officers
of the camps have been requested to
notify their men of this requirement.
At Boulder the commandant had the
men lined up in company formation
and an order was issued that all who
wished to vote should fall back two
PAGES. Altho most of the men were
between the ages of is and 20. nearly
the entire company fell back, much to
the astonishment of the company Of
ficers. In answer to inquiries regard
ing their ages, the men admitted that
they were not entitled to vote, but
that the order was, IAN those who
wish to vote fall back two paces," and
wishing to vote, they had obeyed the
order with military precision.

WAR COST IMMENSE
SOCIETY OF SWISS BANKERS
GIVE STARTLING FIGURES.
During 1918 the Daily Expenses Is
Estimated at s244 900 900; Total to
January 1. 1919, S2l7, 7,o00. 100000.

Four years of war have cost the
world slS0.000, ,O00. 900, and by JAM
uary /, 1919, it will reach the huge
sum of s2l7 900 900 900. These fig
ures were just issued by the Society
Of Swiss Bankers.
The bank statistician admits he had
to limit himself to approximations,
partly because accurate reports were
not obtainable from Belgium. Serbia,
Rumania, Montenegro. Bulgaria and
Turkey. But he points out that this
is not vital. since most of the war
expenses of these countries were un-
derwritten by their allies. Hence he
AYERS his calculations to be accurate.
The figures show the cost of war
to be advancing by leaps and bounds.
The l,s61 days of the first four years
of war. ending July 81. 1918, cost all
belligcrents an average of S123 ,000. 900
day. During 1918 the daily average
has been S244 100000. That means
the war is costing more than S10,000.-
600 an hour-and going up every
minute,
Counting the expenses of mobiliz-
ing and all war operations, but not
including redemption of the debt nor
the cost of restoring damaged prop
erty, the Swiss bank expert estimates
the direct cost of hostilities as fol-
lows:

ers by Fuel Administrator Garfield

In some instances the increase is

Laborers outside the mines are
given the largest increase, their pres

Under the new schedule they will re-
ceive from 42 cents an hour to 46
cents. Wages for other workers out
side the mine range from As cents an

Contract miners receive raise of
