pend the validity of their claim to
compensation under the Act.
The War Risk Insurance Act pro-
vides that ''No Compensation shall
be payable for death or disability
which does not occur prior to or with
in. one year after discharge or resigna-
ton from the service, except that
where, after a medical examination
made pursuant to regulations, at the
time of discharge or resignation from
the service, or within such reasonable
time thereafter, not exceeding one
year, as may be allowed by regula-
tons a certificate has been obtained
from the director to the effect that
the injured person at the time of his
discharge or resignation was suffer
ing from injury likely to result in
death or disability"
Many discharged men are not ia
miliar with or are inclined to disre-
gard this provision of law and are
allowing their rights Hereunder to
lapse.

his progress to the position he now
occupies. The improvement, equip

vital touch with the practical side of
life. With sympathfes as large and In
terests as broad as humanity, he has
always shown a special affinity for

few men do, but his unwavering faith

COMING CENSUS
ENUMERATORS WANTED IN
EVERY CITY, TOWN AND

The fourteenth United States Cen
sus will be taken, beginning January

rict of Minnesota consists of all of
the counties in the eighth Congress
siona District,-Carlton, Cook, ltas-
ca, Koochiching, Lake and St.7Louis.
The six counties have been divided
into two hundred and thirteen dist
riots for enumeration purposes. Each
incorporated city and village in the
district will constitute one or more
districts. Densely pop
ulated townships have each been sep
arated into a district, while two or
more sparsely populated townships

one enumeration district.
We are soliciting competent persons
residing in each district to, make IN
|appliation for appointment as enume-
rators. Returned soldiers, sailors
and marines will be given preference

TO INSANE HOSPITAL.

"Dick" Cullen, who has been a
familiar figure on the streets of Du-
luth and the range towns for many
years has been sent to Fergus Falls
by Judge Gilpin of the Probate
Court. He was examined as to his
sanity on complaint of the police sur
geon of Duluth.
Richard Cullen is 62 years old and
is native of Ireland. He has been
known for many years at the Head
of the Lakes and has won and lost one
or two fortunes. For the last few
years he has been wandering aimless-
ly about the streets showing strong
indications that he was mentally un-
balanced. Although several COM
plants have been made informally to
the probate court no one wanted to
file an information against him and
have him committed.

his ads do not belle his performance.
Augustus" is home product and in
his case as in great many other
things, honors are not won in a
home town, although deserved: He

ranges where he is drawing crowded
houses.

The |. w. w. STRIKE
NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THE SIT
UATION FROM LAST
WEEK.

While both Chandler mines have
men at work, the North Chandler OPP
Grating with a crew of about SO men
and the South Chandler with dozen
men engaged in timbering and put
ting things in shape, the l. w. w.
walkout remains about the same as
heretofore. Meetings are still being
held but as these meetings are strictly
confined to red card members, moth
ing as to deliberations arrived at can
be ascertained.
A large number of deputy sheriffs
and police officers are patrolling the
properties and trespassers are few.
No damage has been done to property
and it is expected that none will be
attempted The leaders are still
strong in the idea that the companies
will come across and agree to the
terms but the larger part of. the men
who have been forced out of work by
threats and the closing of the mines
are not so sanguine.
Large numbers of laborers are
leaving here for other fields daily.
Those leaving are men forced out of
employment by the closing of the
mines and are missing the pay days
needed for themselves and their fam
lilies. The leaders are still getting all
they can to join the red gang and it
is plain to be seen that these fellows
just as yet are no wanting for any
thing. The cartoon on the. first page
is an apt illustration of the true con-
|ditions.
Some trouble was had with peace
officers near the Zenith location sew
eral. times this week. Geo. Constan-
tine and his brother Vasa Constan-
tine with Ray George, three leaders
in the l. w. w. blowout have been
before the court almost every day
this week. Geo. Constantine was
bound over to the grand jury on the
charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons. Vasa Constantine and Ray
George were taken to Duluth this
morning and placed in Jail on the
charge of attempted murder pre-
ferred by Officers Johnson and La
Beau.
1t seems that when the officers re-
|monstrated with a party who were
boisterous and staging a midnight
parade, Ray George pulled gun and
started to shoot up Officer Johnson
who however got in several good ticks
with a club and put Ray out of the
running. Vasa in his attempt to
help out his partner also fired shots
according to the officers.
They will be before the grand jury
at the Hibbing term of court which
convenes on October 20. Unless bail
is furnished they will be in the county
Jail until that time.
Many of the miners make the state
ment that they would gladly go to
work providing the strikers would let
them. AS there were only about 40
involved when the walkout took place
at the Zenith, it seems strange that
the 40 could put 900 to rout.
The young soldier police are hold
ing their own contrary to the express
sions of the strikers. that the "kids
know nothing" One of the soldiers
made the remark that 1--WE went 5000
and more miles to clean up a bunch
of foreign enemies and don't intend
to let few foreign enemies here run
