which drew national suspicion on the
game.
Baseball had its best and most pros

Politically the season starts with an
improved organization presided over by

look stronger, with improved clubs that
should furnish the hottest race Of recent
years for the championship honors.
Ney few critics look to see the honors
won by the same teams. Cleveland is
considered a repeater in the American

favored to beat out the Brooklyn Robins
for The privilege Of defending the Nation

insufficient Funds Given as the
Reason for Bonus Veto, After

Following the shelving Of the mea-

a statement showing that President
Grant vetoed a soldiers bonus bill be-

BIRTHDAY PARTY
LAYALLE HOME
Ladies In the Seventies, and Over
Gathed to Celebrate Milestone
OF One Who is Is

In response to Invitations from
the Helpers Union, La Vale ten
young old ladies met at the home of
Mrs. Vince jackson Thursday July
IA, in honor of the S7th birthday of
Mrs. Henry Palmer Their names and
ages are: Mrs Fuller, "a; Mrs. Pal
mer, 81; Mrs Anton Elder, ST. Miss
Patience Wilkinson, 80; Mrs. Cham
ness, 70; Mrs. Clara Wykoff, ~; Mrs.
George Miller, IS, Mrs. D. Jerome,
"a; Mrs. Emma Kinney, 70; Mrs.
Minerva Funnel, II. Most of the
ladies brought their pictures of years
ago and the styles were far different
from now. The pictures were passed
around and caused many a laugh and
perhaps sigh, for the days gone by.
There were Twenty-Five other ladies
present whose ages ranged from % to
81 and all together they had happy
afternoon which passed all too soon.
Delicious refreshments were served
and all, old and young were. glad they
were there and thought it was fine
thing for the Helpers Union to do.
Mrs Palmer's many friends hope she
will enjoy other birthdays as much
as she did this one. It was day long
to be remembered and one OF the
bright spots in our lives.

new LAWS WILL
CUT CHILDLAB0R
Permits During School To Be Is
sued Only to Children Who Com
plete Eighth Grade

The number of child laborers under
16 employed in Wisconsin industries
will probably be reduced by half as
a result of amendments to the child
labor or vocational school attendance
laws made by the legislature of this
year. These amendments place Wis
consin in the rank of one of the fore
most states in the union in dealing
with the problem of child labor.
In his first message to the legis-
lature Gov. John j. Blaine called at
tenton to the fact that $4,000 children
between IA and II years Of age have
been leaving school annually in re-
cent years in Wisconsin to enter in
dustrial employments, and that
large percentage of these left school
as soon as they were Il, and with
only the minimum education required
to get child labor permit. He urged
that the lower age limit during which
children may be employed in industry
during the schol year should be
raised that newspaper advertising for
permit-children be stopped, and that
, the child labor law be eodified and
strengthened.
These recommendations have all
become law. One chapter provides
that hereafter child labor permits
for work during school year may be
issued only to children who have
completed the eighth grade or who
have attended school nine years.
Equally important are the chapters
which provide that after Sept /
children who have not completed the
equivalent of a high school course
and are not in attendance in regular
day schools must attend vocational
school for half time up to the end Of
the school year in which they are Is
and after that for eight hours per
week. until the end of the school
year in which they become 10.

Well, We'll soon be corrying about
a pOcketful (?) OF silver simoleans
instead of the crisp dollar silver GER
tificates that we are accustomed 90
to keep in our morocco billfold-for
now comes the news that Uncle Sam
has resumed the coinage of silver dol
lars to replace the 279,000,000 cart
wheels that were taken from the treas
ury during the war to accommodate
John Bulls wards in far off India.
Already 100000 of the new coins
have been made and the work is pro-
crossing at the rate of 100000 to
100000 month.
Britain paid us 1.01h per ounce for
the old dollars and we are now buying
bullion at $100 an ounce. Officials
say that the IL cents will pay the
cost of remelting, transportation and
re-coinage.
Re-coinage it is stated will con-
tinue for the next five years until the
treasury's silver reserve is back to
it's pre-war basis.

He said the canned peas destroyed

When the cans became heated they
