Men Hurt at Work Get Help.

An appeal TO all civic organiza
tons to report cases where men
need industrial rehabilitation train
ing is being sent out by Secretary
George Hambrecht of Madison.
The communications point out
where lien are injured in their line
of work the Workmen $ Compensa
ton acts compensates them for the
injuries that they have received
but does not educate them to some
phase of industrial work.
''The Legislature has appropriat.
ed $22 500 which is met dollar for
dollar by the federal government
for this rehabilitation work, " said
Mr.. Hambrecht.
The purpose of this work is
fundamentally to assist the men to
as good position as they held be-
fore, despite whatever handicap
their injuries may have given
them, In some cases, however,
we will assist a man financially for
20 weeks.
Rotary clubs, Kiwanis clubs,
hospital superintendent, charitable
organizations, and civic clubs are
urged by State Director Hambrecht
to assist the bureau in locating the
men who need the rehabilitation
education that is theirs free of
charge. Mr.. Hambrecht asserts
that everything possible will be
done to enable the man undergoing
treatment to profitable employment
Artificial limbs and devices are Sc
cured to fit the individual needs
and furnished free to men under
going this treatment.

GOGEBlC RANGE SCHOLARSHIPS
CLUB FORMED AT BESSEMER
Will Govern the Athletic Relations
Among the Schools of the GOgebic
Range Towns.

AT meeting of the school men of
the Gogebic range held Thursday
night at Bessemer a new organization
came into existence, the primary
purpose of which is to govern the
athletic relations among the schools
of lronwood, Hurley, Bessemer and
Wakefield. This association is to be
known as the Gogebic Range School
masters Club, and is to include
school board officials as WELL 1t will
contine itself to educational interests
and problems which are common to
the schools of the Gogebic range In
the matter of governing, this organi-
cation will have very vital influence
and viii do away with much of the
misunderstanding that has existed
among the schools since there will be
Board of Control which will enforce
the same rules respecting matters of
eligibility of players.
This club of men has in mind the
fact that athletics in the high schools
have often lacked craftsmanship, and
have most frequently been the cause
of low scholarship; whereas scholar
ship should be first, and athletics
should assist scholarship. The opinion
was expressed by the men at this
meeting that 95 per cent of all the
patrons and parents of the school
would back up any program that
would keep athletics clean and an aid
to both the physical and mental de-
velopment of the students. They be-
lieyc that if all schools of the county
agree to play men only who are bona
fide students, and who are carrying
their school work satisfaction that.
as result, competition will ba on an
equal basis, and the harmful influence
of running in ringers, graduates, and
others who are in no sense regular
members of the school will be done
{
the public would rather have good
clean, honest craftsmanship and lose
rather than to carry on methods that
are known to be crooked and unfair
to bona-fide students of the school,
and a subversion of the taxpayers
toward ends that are not in any sense
educational.
The membership of this club is open
to all school men and school officials
including members of school boards
of the Gogebic range. The committee
on the constitution has as one of its
members Mr.. Walter f. Truettner
who has taken an active interest in
schools in Bessemer and Gogebic
county for more than fifteen years.
The school men are hoping that there
will be others of this type who will
assist with the work to be carried on
by this club. While the purpose of
the meeting was to reach an under
AldnujnS ItldNAsE w abhANtANog ttiN
organization as developed, viii have
much broader purpose-that of
considering all matters of educational
interest which by law are part of
the work Of the public schools.
John c. Watson of Ironwood was
named temporary chairman. A
committee was appointed to draw
up constitution which will be
submitted at the next meeting of
the association in the near future
The committee: Mr.. Clevenger,
chairman Mr.. Ruff, Mr.. Black,
Mr.. Williams, Mr.. Truettner, Mr.
Madison, Mr.. Murphy and Mr.
Wicke.

Pueblo County Of Educational
Value

On a farm near Rye. where the alti-
tude above sea level is just 1000 feet,
there is a peach tree 12 years old
which right now is bearing fruit.
At the home of the general manager
OF the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. just
cast of Lake Minnequa. there is an
apple tree that was moved a number
of years ago from the Carlile ranch
on the St Charles river, and the sec
ond year thereafter it bore three crops
of blooms and two of apples the last
blooms showed up in the month of
October.
In an Irving Place garden there has
been raised a fair crop of peanuts and
fine elder and poke berries, and in n
certain garden on the West Mesa there
was produced n few years ago well
blown cotton bolls. East Pueblo has
produced well matured tobacco.

ABOUT COLONEL HENRY DODGE FIRST GOVERNOR
OF WISCONSIN AND HIS LIST OF VOTERS; NUMBER
OF THE NAMES ARE FAMILIAR TO EARLY RESIDENTS

Some three or four miles southeast
of Dodgeville, copious spring gush-
es forth by the roadside. The road
roams down hill into the little val
ley, crosses tiny stream made by the
spring and disappears in a deep wood
on the opposite slope. On summer
day from the ridge to the south the
meadow lark calls and from the wood
at evening the whip-poor-will fills the
air with his peculiar note. On the
side of~the slope, across the highway
from the spring, colored family
abides, apparently care-free and con-
tented with their humble lot
Brushing aside a dense growth of
vegetation in clump of trees, the
source of the spring, one finds a few
stones. half-exposed to view. These
are all that remain Of the pioneer
home Of Colonel Henry Dodge.
Colonel Dodge was born at Vim
cennes, Indiana, in 1882, the year the
American Revolution came to a close.
He removed to Missouri, where he
passed the early portion of his life.
In 1908 he was elected sheriff and in
1872 was chosen captain of mounted
rifle company, rising to the rank OF
colonel. In 1927, he removed to Wis
-consin. then part of Michigan terri
tory, in the lead mining district, and
engaged in the business of mining.
During the Black Hawk war, in 1882,
he built fort near his home, and took
an active part in the frontier conflict.
To this rural location he brought
"a number Of negroes, being an ardent
advocate of freedom for the colored
man. Some of them are buried on a
slope near the spring and descendants

In a letter received from H. w.
Savage of Acton, Mont he states that
Mrs. Savage is still in the ST. Vim
cent hospital and doing fine. If nothing
happens she will be at home about
April l. If any of her friends wish
to write her to address her at st.
Vincent hospital, Billings, Montana.
He also states that the night of
January 81 some unknown parties en-
tered his home, also the home of R.
J.-Thompsons From the Savage
Place they took about $4,000 80
automatic revolver, and % revolver
from the Thompson house three gold
rings, silver watch, a manicuring
set, also 35 cents in money.
The farmers of Montana are all
rejoicing as they had a fine rain fol-
lowed by 16 inches OF snow which is
all melted and gone into the ground
and the hum of the tractors and the
whistle of the whip can be heard in
every nook and corner of Montana
now.
