No Compensation on
Job Like Kaiser's
(By United Press

Madison, Wis. - If you saw up
pieces of wood for a pastime, like the
ex-keiser, you can't obtain compensa-
ton if you are injured under Wis
consin's workmen's compensation lAw.
This, is the ruling made by the in
dustrial commission recently in the
case of lumberman who testified that
while running pieces of knotty wood
into buzz saw, 'for fun" he was in
jured.
"Under the facts and circumstances
in this case the commission reaches
the conclusion that at the time when
the applicant was injured he was not
performing service growing out of and
incidental to his employment. For
the reasons stated an order will be en-
terd dismissing the application" the
report said.

State Dry Chief
Reports on Work
(By United Press

Milwaukee, The report of Clark M.
Perry, federal dry chief, for the month
of July, given out today, shows that
fines of $1,000 and Jail sentences re-
suited during the past month as a
result of the activities of federal dry
agents. 81 stills and cars were
seized by agents working in the three
districts into which the state is divid-
ed. Under the Severson search and
seizure act 210 searches were made
and 118 arrests were made with state
warrants. Practically no searches
were made or warrants were obtained
under the federal law. The state pro-
hibition law is much more severe and
dry agents prefer to work under this
statute.

en- to prevent needless exposure to
this dangerous disease"
"We have no evidence that influenza
during the spring of 1928 was more
virulent than for the preceding year,
and we feel very sure that the report
of 896 cases does not represent more
than one-third the actual number of
cases occurring throughout the state
in that time. If the attending physi-
clan or householder, where physi-
clan is not employed, does not report
the cases to the health officer, it is
impossible for the home to be pla-
carded and the danger from innocent
exposure to influenza is greatly in
creased"
Deaths reported in the quarter from
all causes totalled 1899, and represent
an annual death rate of 1877 per thou
sand people which compares favorab-
ly with the average for a fve-year
period.

Tries to Make Rented Home

Lost 1t.
OWN YOUR OWN HOME
BY EDGAR TAYLOR WHEELOCK
Copyright, 1922, The American
Press League.


In 1919 family of three adults
was fairly good six-room house but
the former tenant had neglected to
keep the property in decent condi-
iton. The back yard was full of ash
es mixed with old garbage and, where
the lawn should have been in front,
the ground was as bare as a pump
kin.
The two men of the family spent
greater part of their spare time the
first summer in cleaning up the back
yard and attempting to make the
lawn look green. Bushes were prun-
ed, new ash can was wheedled out
of the landlord, fertilizer was bought
and small vegetable garden plant
ed that year. The appearance of the
place was greatly improved.
The second summer more work was
done; so much in fact that a neigh
Dor asked if the tenants were out for
prize in a back yard contest. The
new lawn was an attractive one and
the parking between the sidewalk and
the curb had been lowered several
inches by wheeling away the surplus
earth. Also the house itself had re-
ceived attention in the way of var
nishing, the landlord having furnished
the varnish.
Finally Sold House.
For several years \the house had
been for sale but there were no buy
ers until the tenant had made the
property look attractive. Then a
speculator bought it and served a six
ty-day notice on the tenant to vacate.
AS the lease had not expired the ten
ant simply called the bluff and refus-
ed to move until the first Of May,
1921.
The moral of this story is that ten
ants who like to live amid pleasant
surroundings cannot afford to waste
time in keeping up the appearance of
rented property That kind of work
serves as an invitation to the land
lord to raise the rent If it should
happen that the place is not for
sale.
The better plan is to build home
of your own, one on which you can
make improvements without fear of
having your work wasted. Any rent
er can do this by practicing economy
for a time, if it should happen that
he has not already saved enough to
get a start, and a building and loan
association or real estate dealer will
explain how rent money will build a
home.
