FREE CLINIC

More than 5000 Wisconsin people
have been examined by the Travelling
Free Chest Clinic of the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Association in 1922,
according to support Of the first six
months activity, this year. Over one
third of the counties in the state have
been visited and II clinics have been
held. Of the a 4,447 patients examined,
924 were found to have tuberculosis
in some form or other. This classified
tion includes: 278 cases of presumptive
tuberculosis, $50 cases of suspicious
tuberculosis; 81 cases of tuberculosis
glands and a number of other tubercu-
lous conditions 1t also indicated
1913 patients with healed LESSONS and
76 with quiescent tuberculosis. The
condition of 189 of the tuberculous pa
tients was such that immediate sana-
torium treatment was urged.
The clinic is not limited to tuber-
culosis, although discovering early
eases is its main object. Among the
other findings We're: simple goitre, l.,

MANY At
LABOR DAY
PICNIC

Labor day was celebrated with a bio
picnic at Lyon park Monday, given un-
der the auspices of the Central Labor
Union. 1t was a very successful e
vent, in the neighborhood of 1000 peo-
pie attending.
The opening event Of the days pro
gram was street parade, headed by
the World War Veterans and the band.
The speakers were Mayor O. R. RoeTo-
ius, VIM. Eyjue, editor of the Capitol
Times, Madison, and John Bradon Of
the World War Veterans. The band
furnished music during the day. 9th
er events on the program were con-
tests for the kids.
Mayor Roenius, among other things,
said that happiness lies in being sat
lsfied with what one has until one gets
more. One great i'll in the world is
that too many people aim to make a
living without working for it. Anoth-
er great trouble is that people preach
discomfort and distrust, thereby de-
stroying their happiness and the hap
piness of others as well. These disci-
pies of discomfort usually have no con-
crete plans for bettering conditions.
Touching on conditions locally, he
pointed out that the people here had
been more fortunate during the times
of business depression, in that prac-
tically all had employment, while il
many other centers they didn't. In
regard to politics he urged the people
to vote for those who are qualified by
honesty and ability to handle the af-
fairs of government Mr.. Bradon
spoke along the same lines. He point
ed out that workers in smaller COM
munities were better off than those in
the larger cities, because they were IN
closer touch with their employers. Mr..
Evjue took the press of the state to
task, including the Daily Tribune of
this city, claiming they were controll-
ed by big interests, which the Tribune
in its Tuesday issue branded as lie
as far as it is concerned.
Emil Seidl, an ex-mayor of Milwau-
kee, was the principal speaker at the
Socialists picnic, held in the same
park, Monday. He urged the voters
to vote a straight Socialist ticket. In
M 90 ri +o +bo TT q caro+orioI x1ooop
cy on the Socialist ticket, he said they
could cast their vote for La Toilette.
Other speakers included Socialist

ter date of his discharge. Any man
discharged from the service between
April 6, 1917 and October 6, 1917, as
an optional right, can either apply to
the Pension Bureau or to the Veter-
ans Bureau. Any person discharged
otter October 6, 1917 must apply To
the Veterans Bureau for his disabil-
ity claim and must do so within the
five years period. An example of this
is: A man discharged from the Navy
December l, 1917, on disability dis
charge, files claim with the Veter-
ans Bureau at Chicago District Office
on December 10, 1922 His claim must
necessarily be disallowed because he
has not applied for compensation WITH
in the five 60 year period.
The Chicago Office is urging all ex
service men and women who believe
that they have disability due to ser
vice TO Immediately file claim for same
in order that they may not be disbarr-
ed from the benefits of the Act be
cause the time limit has expired in
which it is possible for them to make
claim

WOOD COUNTY
WINSFOURTH

Wood county captured fourth place
in the county exhibits at the state far
in Milwaukee, scoring only few
points less than Oconto county which
won first honors. This is a remark
ably good showing for this county and
reflects great credit upon the men who
made up the exhibit, The committee
IN charge Of the exhibit was composed
Of ]. A. Chapman, A. ?. Bean and
George Brown, who were assisted by
County Agent r. A. Peterson, Princi-
pal S. G. Corey of the county agricul-
tural school and William Burhopp, .
prominent farmer in the Marshfield
district. The ten high counties were
Oconto, Shawano, Racine, Wood, Mil :
waukee, La Crosse, Grant, Dodge and
Marathon. Oconto county received
the Milwaukee Journal silver cup and
the others named were awarded hon
OF banners.
William Burhopp scored seeoni
place in individual exhibits Of Colder
Glow corn. His victory demonstrates
that high quality Of corn can be
raised in Wood county inspite of the
general impression that this section
is rather far north Of the corn grow
ing territory.

VETERANS MUST
FLECLAIMS
IN FIVE YEARS

Little attention has been paid up to
the present time to that section of the
War Risk Insurance Act (Section 309)
which deals with the time limit for
making claim for disability incurred
in the United States Services. Under
this section of the act it specifically
states 'sThat no compensation shall
be payable unless a claim therefore
be filed, in case of disability, within
five (5) years after discharge, or, re-
signation from the service"
In plain language this means that
any man who has disability which is
due to his service in the United States
Armed Forces must file a claim for

LAFOLLETTE
SWEEPSCITY,
COUNTY, STATE
Indications Are Every Man on His
Radical Ticket is Nominated.

In reviewing the results of the pri-
mary it is plainly to be seen the state
Of Wisconsin was with LaFollette a.
gainst the war. This issue was plain
ly made and everything possible was
done against LaFollette on account of
his stand in the United States senat,
against the war. His vote at this pri-
mary election endorses his stand "a
gainst the European war. We also
draw from the big vote that the La
Toilette ticket drew that the state Of
Wisconsin is in favor of the vets at
least SO far as wine and beer is con
cerned. How far the endorsement Of
LaF Follette and Blaine endorses tne
Socialism, Bolshevism and Nonparti-
san leagueism is hard to decipher, but
the result of the vote would indicate
that they are largely in favor of these
interests, otherwise they would not
have endorsed this radical combination
under the LaFollette banner as they
have expressed themselves in the pri-
mary Tuesday last. We are a full
blooded American and believe in the
principle that the majority of the peo-
pie of any locality or the state, when
expressed so positively as it has in
the late primary, should be final. Our
form of government is founded upon
the principle that the majority of the
people when expressed should control
and the minority should submit. We
therefore accept the result Of the pri-
mary as the wish of the people in Wis
consin Rapids, Wood county and the
state of Wisconsin.
Returns from over half of the state
show United States Senator LaFollette
leading his opponent, VIM Garfield, |
by 10000 votes, for the senatorial
nomination. 1859 precincts out of
1928 in the state gave LaFollette $780,
134, -Ganfield 02,242. John J. Blaine,
running for denomination for COVER
nor against Attorney General Nor |
gan, polled over $4,000 votes more |
than Morgan in 1853 precincts out Of
1923 in the state The vote for Blaine |
was 232 ,927, for Morgan 108,875. The |
indications are that all the LaFollette
candidates will be nominated.
In SGT precincts out of 1928 in the
state A. A. Bentley of Lacrosse, wet
candidate for governor, was leading
Karl Mathie of Wausau, dry candidate
for governor, on the Democratic tick
ct. Bentley's total vote was 1857,
Mathie's 2919
LaFollette and his ticket also car
ried the county. Thirty nine pre-
cincts out of 43 gave LaFollette 5769
as against 1779 for Garfield, Blaine
5605 as against 1886 for Morgan
Other LaFollette candidates also held
big leads. E. E. Brownies renomina-
tion for congress looks certain.
Returns from 80 out of 43 precincts
in the county on county candidates
show James Bogie leading for sheriff,
R. r. Williams leading for District
Attorney, E. E. Royce leading for As,
semblyman, Sam Church for County
Clerk, Henry Ebbe for Register of
Deeds. County Treasurer James La
Vigne and Clerk of Court A. B. Bever
and County Surveyor Severns were re-
nominated without opposition.

5,089 were referred to their losal ply
sicians for various causes. Over / 900
of the patients had been directly ex-
posed to tuberculosis at salna period
IN their lives.
Although the clinic work is financed
to large extent through finds raised
through the sale Of Christmas seals,
which support all health work of the
Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis Asso-
citation, local expenses are borne by
some organization in the community
visited.
The Red Cross, local Anti-Tuber-
culosis Associations, County Public
Health Committees, and County
Boards have made appropriations for
clinics in various communities.
Since the Travelling Chest Clinic
was started three years ago, over 49,
900 Wisconsin people were examined,
and Of this number Is per cent were
found tuberculosis. Many have since
taken treatment and have regained
their health, as direct result of the
clinics. The state<association with the
cooperation of local public health
nurses follows up all the clinic cases.

Late in the day when the roll calls on
amendments began it looked as if the
