With the resumption of school this
month many of the educational fea-
lures of the Thrift and War Savings
Stamps campaigns will be conferred in

the Little Lessons in Thrift which
were sent direct to all the school
teachers in the five states of the Sew
enth District during the first six
months of the year will be provided
for. These lessons are designed for all
grades, but pay particular attention to
the younger classes, where it is de-
sired to instill early the principles Of
thrift and saving.
In all eighth grade schools and In
high schools it is planned to interest
the pupils in personal accounts, a sys-
tematic and regularly conducted or
ganization being formed in each school
for that purpose. The system will
include personal experiences in. buy
ing, selling and account keeping.
Students in all colleges and univer-
stiles will be enlisted in campaign
to popularize personal accounts and
systematic savings. Domestic science
teachers in public schools, normal
schools and colleges, and agents of ex-
tension departments will be utilized to
make this individual budgeting OF
students incomes effective.

WOMEN EXCEED men
IN JAPANESE FACTORIES
$500 Japanese Women Work
at Average Daily Wage Of Ten
to Twenty Cents for a
Twelve Hour Day.

There are more women in industry
in Japan than there are men, accord
to a statement recently made by the
War Work Council of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association.
The world war has brought $4,000
women and girls into the daily grind
of industry according to this state
ment; 10000 Of them little girls under
fifteen years Of age who work twelve
hours at wage Of ten to twenty cents
a day, that the world may have silk
dresses and munitions.
In Tokyo alone, city of two and
one-half million people, there are 1OO,-
600 women employed In sixty-two in.
dustries and businesses varying from
work as telephone operators, clerks,
stenographers and bookkeepers to
work in silk and other sorts of fac
tories and domestic work.
Each year thousands Of these wO-
men go back to their homes in the
country, broken In health and victims
of tuberculosis because Of the poor
conditions under which they work and
live. They are housed in dormitories
in the factory compound. These dormi-
tories are frequently unsanitary. The
girls work long hours, have no recre-
alton and on finishing their long day
go Immediately to bed, oftentimes a
bed which a girl who works at night
has been sleeping in all day.
AS part Of its world service for wo-
men, the Young Women's Christian
Association plans to build dormitories
In manufacturing towns where girls
may live cheaply under healthful
physical and social conditions, to send
out secretaries who can introduce rec
reatton into the factory compound and
direct games and social life.
This is done with the cooperation
Of the factories managers and pro-
prietors. One of the most influential
Of these is Mrs Suzuki, the most
prominent woman, manufacturer in
Japan, who is owner and manager of a
firm which exported $11,000,O00 worth
Of bean oil to America last year.

JOSEPH FLANAGAN
HAS PASSED BEYOND
Brief Illness Fatal to Chica-
go Man Well Known in
Eagle River. Many
Will Miss Him.

The death of Joseph Flanagan at
his home in Chicago, Monday was
heard of with profound regret by his
extensive acquaintance here. Strick-
en- about three weeks previous with
an illness not thought necessarily
fatal, his daughter, Mrs. Thos. Mac
quaker was called home remaing
with him to the last. Saturday
morning his sister, Mrs. A. McKen-
zie, and Mr.. Macquaker were notified
that the end was near and left for
there once. Death was caused from
a complication of internal troubles
necessitating an operation from
which he failed to receiver despite
the fact Of former robust health.
For the past thirty years Mr.
Flanagan had been. connected with
the firm of Carson-Pirie-Scott in
Chicago, in the later years being as
sistant superintendent of the retail
department.. For more than a score
of<years he had with his familG
spent his summer vacation period in
Eagle River, and himself generally
came up for a short out door outing
in mid-Winter. A man of much gen
iality, he was sought companion
for out door pleasure expeditions in
which he took great interest, and the
semi-annual arrival of Joe" Flana-
gan was eagerly anticipated by the
friends with whom he had spent
many an hour upon the lakes and in
the woods Of Villas county. These
friends and many others will miss
and mourn him as an honorable gem
tleman, esteemed friend and enthus-
iastic sportsman and lover of nature
and little children. yheir deepest
sympathy is extended the. surviving
relatives; his wife, two daughter, a
grandson and sister.

ries. In many cases supervising
teachers were get ting less than the
teachers they supervised. There are
plenty of country people represented
in the legislature. They see how
much good the right kind Of super
vising teachers can do for the coun-
try schools. Good salaries make it
possible to get good teachers.
School districts are given power to
raise tax of d % on assessed prop
erty for school purposes instead Of
p %, by action of the legislature at
the special session. This will relieve
several counties and make it possible
for them to pay enough money to
get good teachers and keep their
schools open. When living costs
have doubled more money has to be
spent to get teachers.

Healthy Children

Much is being said and written
nowadays about tile undernourish-
ment of children. Evenmore interest
would be shown were it not for d
common misunderstanding of the
word .sundernourisfm Many
think that it is used to mean under
feeding" and because they do not
believe that there is much opportuni-
ty for real starvation, they give no
further thought to the subject but
put down The published statements
and figures as gross exaggerations
AS matter of fact, an undernour-
ished child may be an underfed child.
Again, food may have very little to
do with the condition in a given
child ITndernourishment is used to
describe a condition somewhere be-
tween health and acsual sickness.
Such children frequently grow up to
become consumptive and otherwise
unfit men and women. In consider
able proportion of cases a little spare
time and some hard study would save
many of these lives and prevent much
future sickness, poverty, and suffering.
In every instance reason for the
child's condition could be found if
it were studied long and intelligently
enough. In some instances, the
trouble may be due entirely to a lack
of sufficient sleep. In some there may
be diseased tonsils or diseased teeth
which are slowly poisoning the child.
Many children are in effect starved
by having too much of the wrong
kind of food and too little of the
right kind.
Health is the normal condition for
children, and when it is absent there
is usually a simple and easily remov-
able cause. When we safeguard chill
dren's health and growth, we prevent
many cases of consumption, of heart
and kidney disease and of rheumatism
among the next generation And
when all is said and done, health is
a better possession to will to child
than any amount of money.

Water Power Wasted.

The Alto Parana river, which d.
vides Paraguay from Argentina and
Brazil, and it's many tributaries, could
make Paraguay an important indus
trial center. The power of these wa
tiers is practically unknown, but is
estimated as having, in some places,
a fall of 200 feet, tand force of 1907
OOO-horse power. The 1guazu falls
are regarded as even more powerful
than Niagara.

compensation is S14.63 per. week for
persons whose weekly wage is $3.50
or more; 1888 where the weekly wage
is $40. so or less; and IS per cent of the
weekly wage, if this is between 5000
and S22.5O. Compensation for the first
/ I days is payable only in cases in
which the disability extends beyond
% days The first payment of compen-
sation is due on the 10Th day after
the beginning Of disability, and
thereafter compensation should be
paid weekly while the injured is I'M
able to work. If some permanent dis
ability results from the injury, such
as the permanent stiffness Of some
member, or the total or partial loss of
it's use, the injured is entitled to
additional compensation. In fatal
cases, the employer must pay a death
benefit. if there are any dependents,
which cannot exceed 50, 500. and must
always pay the funeral expenses up
to 800.
Primary liability for the payment
of compensation rests upon the en-
ployer, even if insured. Employers
should see that medical aid is fur
nished and the compensation paid
promptly in the amounts required by
law. For unreasonable delay in the
PAYMENT Of compensation, employers
become liable for an increase of 10 per
cent.
Employers also are required by state
law to report to the Industrial Com
mission all injuries to their employees
in which the disability exceeds days.
These. reports should be made on the
9Th day after the accident ON forms
which are furnished by the commits
sion. Insurance companies cannot
make these reports for employers.
Employees also have duties as well
as rights under the compensation law.
If notice of injury is not given
promptly to the employer, the injured
may lose out entirely. The advice of
/
the doctor must always be followed
and the injured must allow himself
to be examined by any physician the
employer may select, or he is cut off
from compensation.
Injured men cannot lose by going
back to work when told to do so by
the doctor. If you try to work and
then are forced to quit, you are en-
titled to further compensation. If you
have lost some member you get the
same compensation, regardless of
when you return to work.
Injured employees also should know
that they cannot sign away their
rights under the compensation law;
they do not have to be afraid of sign
ing receipts for money paid them.
Finally, remember that the Indus
trial Commission is always glad to
answer any questions which employ
ers or employees may have upon the
compensation law Write US at Madi-
son when you are in doubt. Wiscon-
sin Industrial Commission.

.,,l,,e of Failure.

| pity the man who has no failures
20 his credit, whose way has been
smooth and prosperous from beginning
to end, because such man is likely to
be riding to the only tragic failure
there is-that OF life itself. The thing
that most often tends to poverty is the
thing we call success. If ones failures
have been honestly achieved by hard
and Iong-continued effort, they become

Firms and Families.

q firm is like family-it is pound
together by mutual interests. Just as
families quarrel and ruin their homes,
so the members of firm may quarrel
and ruin their wages and profits. But
a normal family does not quarrel. It
develops a family feeling, and all COM
hine to protect each other.

AIDS STRANGERS AT
RAILROAD STATIONS
Travellers Organization Aids
Girls, Boys, and Infirm
At Milwaukee Rail-
road Depots.


Wisconsin is one of many states
which have joined the organized
movement for the protection of trav-
elers, especially young women, within
city gates.
This nationwide movement to well
come, guard and help the stranger in
the city took definite form in 1917
when the National Association of
Travellers Aid Societies was formed
with headquarters at New York,
which it is interesting to note was
the first city in America to employ
worker to meet trains and ships.
Other cities followed New York's
lead until at the present time there
are 1877 branches of the Travellers
Aid Organization including most of
the larger cities of the United
States.
In February 1920 a branch was
formed in Milwaukee and from re-
ports made at the first annual meet
ing recently held it is evident that
real progress has been made in this
splendid work.
The Travellers Aid Society is nom
sectarian in organization. It's pur-
pose is to meet and protect young
girls, young women, boys and the
aged upon their arrival in the CITY,
Anyone may claim its aid This in
cludes foreigners who cannot speak
English, men and women who are i'll,
mothers with children, the blind and
infrm.
The headquarters of the Milwau-
kee Travellers Aid Societysare at the
Union Station. A worker is also
stationed at the Union terminal, and
it is proposed to supply a number of
additional workers to meet travellers
at interurban terminals as well as
at the boat docks.
In less than three months, 257 peo-
pie were met and helped at the two
railroad stations. One was a feeble
minded girl who was induced to re-
turn homes Another feeble minded
girl was placed IN 1.-THE care Of the
Big Sisters.
A young woman only 10 years old,
deserted by her husband, came to
the Travellers Aid for advice as to
how she could find shelter for her.
self and four month old baby. She
was referred to the Juvenile Protec-
tive Association. A frightened, lit
tie eleven year old girl was found by
the Travellers Aid. Her people had
failed to meet her. The Travellers
Aid was able to reach her friends
and in half hour they came to her.
There are many other instances
where protective work has been done
by this society in Milwaukee.
The people of Wisconsin and North
ern Michigan should know that
letter, card, telegram or long distance
telephone message to the Travellers
Aid Society in Milwaukee is sufficient
to secure the aid of worker of this
branch of the society, who will meet
any train desired and carry out the
directions of the person sending the
message.
No girl or other traveller need be
friendless on arriving in Milwaukee.
Because of the room shortage girls
seeking employment in Milwaukee
are urged to take advantage of the
service offered by the Travellers Aid
Society. If the knowledge of this
service were generally known in Wis
consin and Northern Michigan,
travelling would be considerably
easier and safer for girls and young
women
