GOT NAME FROM INDIAN CHIEF
How the City Of Medicine Hat, in Can.
ada, Acquired It's Decidedly
Odd coanomen,

Medicine Hat. the Canadian City
which figures SO prominently in wealth.
er reports, and which possesses I'M
doubtedly one OF the most extraordi-
nary names Of all the cities
Of the world, acquired its title
from an old Blackfoot chief whose
tepee stood on the site which is
to-day the center Of the city. He was
chiefly celebrated for an amazing
head-gea to which he attributed mag
ical powers, and which he called his
medicine hat" Coed fortune was
supposed TO attend him whenever re
wore it, whether at war or ON the
hunt.
Once great battle was fought be-
tween the Blackfeet and the Crees on
the site Of the present city. The fight
went against the Crees and, Just as
they prepared 10 leave the field. a
strong gust of wind caught the "medi-
cine hat" lifted il OF the head OF the
chieftain and deposited 1t in the river.
This was considered an evil omen and
the Blackfeet Immediately ded 10 the
mountains in great disorder.

Ignoring Rural Interests.

For long time the politicians Were
not much interested IN rural Industry
aud telt that The country people could
be trusted 60 walk up 20 the polls and
vote the cid ticket same as usual.
They have learned better now. and
the politicians listen respectfully to
the opinions held by couutrypeople.
Some other folks need 10 learn the
power of the country people too.
Food producers are going this year To
lose hundreds Of millions of dollars
as the result OF strikes. Net many
people think they can tie up trans
poTtauou and mining, while they
fight ont their private quarrels Tits
time that the American people taught
these FOLKS a lesson that no one has
the right TO involve the country folks
in such losses by stopping the
country's leading industries.

Not merely aredaring experimenters

physicians and nurses are continually
taking chances in their professional
devotion If your child has some
dangerous contagious disease. the
average man might not be willing to
euter any part of your home to make
some needed repairs, while your doctor
and nurse spend many hours in the
sick room taking chances that they
may catch the deadly infection. PEG.

fices that these professions make.

If an ordinance introduced at
Tuesdays meeting of the council
is adopted the boundaries of all the
wards in Hurley will be changed
The ordinance must be adopted by
a vote of not less than two-thirds
after it has been published for four
successive weeks in the local
papers.
The present ward boundaries
were laid out when the city was
incorporated several years ago.
Ever since the wards were laid out
there has been sentiment in favor
of changing the boundaries in order
to equalize the voting population,
II being contended that the Third
ward was entirely too large and
that the lines dividing other wards
were not properly laid out.
The new ward boundaries are
described in the ordinance publish
ed on the back page of this paper.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By s. W. STRAUS
President Of American Socsety for Thrift

In a large Middle Western city
there can be seen On almost every
principal corner the letters "A. b. c. E"
painted on the street pavement ia
large, bold strokes.
Wherever one goes in the business
district one is greeted by this cryptic
message. Curiosity leads TO inquiry
as to the meaning Of the sign, and
one is then told that the letters mean
Always be Careful"
Ia the United States, so we are in
formed by authentic statistics, a
human Re is needlessly sacrificed
every six minutes. In the year 1920
there We're 10000 accidental deaths,
and the toll is increasing.
The elimination of the loss of life
and property from accidents comes
within the range of thrift work and
can best be accomplished through
educational methods. Primarily, the
individual must exercise more care,
and this attitude on the part of the
public will be quickly reflected in
proper legislation.
That America is tagging behind in
this important phase of thrift work
is shown by a comparison with con-
ditions in England and Wales, where
the combined death rate during the
period of 1911 to 1920 was 800 accidental
fatalities for one million of deaths.
In the United States the rate for the
same period was ia. In other words,
England and Wales have shown us
that through the proper application
of the principals of thrift along the
lines under discussion, it is possible
to eliminate almost 80 percent of ac-
cidental fatalities. If this standard
OF efficiency were applied in the
United States, it would mean the an
nual saving of approximately 35 900
lives, in addition to the saving of a
vast amount of property otherwise
destroyed by preventable causes.
1t lisa good idea to paint the letters
"A. b. c." on the pavements of a
busy city. 1t is a splendid thrift
lesson. 1t would be well if each of
us kept these letters'and all that they
signify prominently in our minds at
all times.

The Hurley high school football
team was defeated by the Ashland
high school eleven in its second EN-
counter of the season. Hurley was
outweighed by more than thirty
pounds TO the man but showed a
lighting spirit that held the visitors
to 80 points Hurley failed to score.
Hurley kicked off TO Ashland and
with series of tackle and line
plunges Ashland put the bali over
for the first touchdown in short
time. The visitors had so much beef.
IN fact the eleven from the point of
avermpois would do credit to almost
any college, that Hurley's much
lighter team worked against a dis
advantage that could not be over
come, When the locals had the ball
their liue could not hold long enough
to get play started and Hurley fail
ed to make first down once during the
game But there was never any lack
of lighting spirit and considering the
fact that Hurley was on the defensive
most Of the time they did as well as
could be expected under the circum-
stances.
There was one department of the
game, however, in which Hurley
showed superiority puntiug. Full
back Wilcox booted the bali like a
veteran and made several long punts
that would be a credu to more seas.
oued player Reible was stellar
performer for Hurley. His defensive
work was largely responsible for the
good showing Hurley made.
Hurley's lineup -1rier, left end;
Matusewic, left tackle: Pawhckl, left
guard Prosek, center; Perlberg,
right guard; Sturgul, right tackle;
Hunt, right end Stevens, quarter
back; Beible, left half; Calvi, right
half; Wilcox, fullback.
Hurley substitutes Pedri for Hunt,
Meade for Sturgul. Alice for Wilcox.

FOOT BALL

Many Hurley FAIRS witnessed the
nip and tuck battle at Ironwood
Sunday when Ashland was defeat
ed 7 to o. The teams seemed to be
about evenly matched and it should
have been a battle TO delight the
heart of the most ardent football
fan. But the numerous delays,
rag chewing and arguments with
the referee and the length of time
it took to play the game took away
considerable Of the pleasure of be-
ing witness. A number of penal
ties were inflicted on account of
rough stuff with Ashland get
ting the bigger share of them. The
fact that Ashland was penalized 5
yards for their fullback's alleged
roughing of Hansen spoiled the
visitors best chance of scoring and
threatened to break the game up in
a row. Ashland worked the ball 10
within a short distance oftheir goal
after the second hal started and but
for thepenalty probably would have
put the ball over, 1t was the only
part of the game in which Ashland
showed any superiority, most of
the time being on the defensive.
When Ashland fumbled the ball on
the 20 yard line it paved the way
for Ironwood's only touchdown,
two forward passes, in which
Pufall, Hansen and Marshall fgur.
ed, putting the ball over. The star
performers for Ironwood were
Hansen and Marshall, former
Minnesota university players. With
out these men Ironwood no doubt
would have gone down to defeat.
Marshall was a consistent ground
gamer and showed up we'll in the
forward passes.

Lovers Of Nature.

The American people owe great
deal to type of men who have arous-
ed public sentiment to the necessity
of preserving fine scenery. John Muir
was such man, whose name is as
sociated with a wonderful forest park
near San Francisco, and other beauty
spots which he loved and worked to
preserve for public use.
Also Enos Mills, called the father
OF he Rocky mountain national park,
who recently died near Long, peak
bis beloved summit hat he had climb
ed 800 times, was another one Of the
same type, Every section has some
men of this character, to whom the
public must always be indebted for
their effort TO preserve for the people
the beauty spots OF their own locality
The words and writings of such
nature lovers should teach the public,
not merely that special scenes Of
grandeur should be saved from de-
Placement. but that every locality has
some beauty spots OF it's own that
should be preserved and thrown open
TO common use as parks and play
grounds

The Bessemer foot ball team
again showed its strength last Sun.
day by administering an over
whelming defeat to Rhinelander
Bessemer scored a few minutes
after the game was called and con-
tinued scoring, having everything
their own way, until 70 points were
piled up, while the visitors got
nothing but a goose egg. The
Rhinelander eleven failed to live up
to advance press notices. The team
showed no evidence of having in
dulged in any great deal of practice,
lacked teamwork, and besides was
outweighed, and under those con
ditions against a crack eleven like
Bessemer the visitors had no chance
whatever. Bessemer used many
second string men and almost every
man in the squad played during
some part of the game.
