Serious Auto Accident

Garnet Gum, we'll knowen farmer
of Straight Creek, was the victom OF
an automobile accident last Friday.
and one which very nearly cost him
his life.
He had been to town horseback
and was returning home when, at
the short curve beyond H. H. Seyberts
an automobile diven by-a travelling
man by the name Of Wyant, dashed
around the turn at high speed. The
horse became enlightened, wheeled in
the road, the saddle girth breaking
and throwing Mr.. Gum Immediately
in front of the machine. He was
caught by the machine, dragged or
rolled several feet and ran over by
one or two wheels before the auto
could be stopped.
When gotten out from under the
machine he was stunned or uncon-
cious and the two men in the car
got him to Mr.. Seybert's residence,
not knowing that MS own home was
about the same distance away, in the
opposite direction. Mr.. Gum regained
Econciousness, however before taken
into Mr.. Seybert's and was driven to
his own home instead.
A Phyician was called and it-was
found that the unfortunate man had
ribs broken on both sides and his
collar bone fractured, not to mention
numerous cuts and bruises about
his head and body.
Mr.. Wyant expressed deep regret
at the accident and did all he could
to relieve his suffering. When he
left the Gum house he also left his
address, directing that the doctors
bill be sent to him for payment. He
and at speed too fast to be checked
in time to avoid the accident. 1t is
not knew" whether the short turn
horn signal was used or not but 1t
said his car was going down grade
emphasizes the Importance OF this
State regulation.
At last account Mr.. Gum was doing
as we'll as could be expected, but his
condition was serious. He is an ex-
cellant man of middle age and
highly esteemed.

FINLAND WOMEN OCCUPY
MANY FIELDS OF WORK

HELSINGFORS, November Is (Cor-
respondence of the Associated Press).
An astonishing sight for the
stranger in Finland is the number of
women engaged in almost every field
of employment. In England during
the war one became accustomed to
the sight of women performing vari-
Gus kinds of work in which previous
ly only men were engaged. But in
Finland the visitor gets the impress
sion that the women are doing every
thing. They even serve as porters on
sleeping cars. Not only are they at
heavy manual work in fields and fac
