Fatal Carelessness.

/ CareIessness Is no reSpector of
persons; its victims are among the
young and the aged, men and women,
rich and poor, as shown by recent
news items.
Theodore Calkins was the tenth
oil can explosion victim of the year
at Beloit. He was pouring oil from
a can into a blow torch. Most of
the other Beloit victims poured coal
oil on sluggish fire.
Herbert Smith of Beloit lighted a
match to find out whether his auto
tank needed filling. Another auto
took him to a hospital.
An automobile of F. Schlueter of
/ GAINESVILLE caught fire when the driv-
er lighted cigarette while the auto
tank was being filled Running mo-
tors during the Milling process has
caused a few fires.
| Fred Breed of Embarrass heated
turpentine on a stove. The turpen-
tine caught fire and burned Mr..
Breed frightfully
Mary Rodzowski, "a years old, of
Milwaukee, poured kerosene on a
sluggish fire, the can exploded
throwing the burning oil over her.
Hollis Spaulding of Reedsburg
used kerosene to kindle fire. The
explosion resulted in his death and
Injuries to his young sister and
brother.
Chester Muller, 10 years old,
poured wood alcohol on sluggish
fire. The explosion resulted in his
death.
Playing with matches, little Mar
garet Starr of Kenosha set her
clothes on fire and burned to death.
Little Amelia Zuzenic became a
living torch at a bonfire.
Wisconsin had sane fourth,
but five victims are in their graves
Two. infants died from poison trying
to eat son-of-a-guns; one child set
her dress on fire with a sparkles and
died from burns; two died as result
of fireworks explosions.
The fourteen fireworks Injuries in
cluded loss of eye, loss of fingers,
severe burns and facial disfgure-

win manufactures and dealers in
fireworks offer the next FIVE victims
from their family circles?
Just one item from another state:
"a fifteen year old girl was burned
to death when her dress caught fire
from one of the sparklers in a fire
pointed star she was carrying in a
play given by the school children.
When the school janitor attempted
to smother the flames she wrested
herself from his grasp and ran out
into the hall where 800 children were
huddled in panic. The flames were
extinguished by the school nurse who
wrapped a line buster around the
girl She died few days later"

riences of others, and do not wait un-
til death and injury strikes your

NUMBER THREE
JOhnsOn's New Years Greeting.

Johnson's New Years Greeting.
Another mile stone has been reach
ed and another chapter written in
the history of Wisconsin.
We have had our political upheaval
but after November 9TH the storm
ceased and we have been able to en-
JOY our Christmas in peace.
The majority of our people during
the past year have been blessed with
good health. We have had a favor
able season and an abundant crop, so
we have many things for which to be
thankful and we hope that next year
viii deal with US as kindly as has the
past.
On January 1st three state of
ficials will lose their meal tickets
| am referring to Secretary of State
Hall, Attorney General Morgan and
myself, and as officers we are classed
as politicians and with not much of a
chance for employment. The next
Legislature should provide a pension
bureau for eX-state officials, or what
are known as lame ducks, with a pen
sion equal to their salaries, besides a
life insurance policy ranging from
$l5.000 to $4,000 This would be
in line with the Teachers Insurance
and Retirement Law. The provid-
ing of such pension would induce a
man TO seek the job and if he stood
for reelection he would not have to
spend from three to Ave months DUR
the year travelling all over the state
and away from his duties, and as
long as the pay would continue after
he was out Of office he would not
have to worry. II is true that this
pension system may be brought UNI
der the unemployment law which is
expected to be passed next winter,
but as that is for the working man,
and the compensation is low. 1t should
not apply to officials who must live
up to higher standard.
What say ye? Let US go. Rob
Peter to pay Paul and then rejoice in
the accomplishment

Engineer Addresses Council.

]. H. A. Brahtz, of st. Paul, con-
sulting engineer, appeared before the
councilmen at Tuesday evenings
meeting and talked on the matter of
source of water supply for Hurley.
He gave an informal talk that was
full of interest and covered his sub
ject quite thoroughly. He came
here of his own accord and told the
councilmen what he has done at other
places and what he could do in the
way of finding a source of supply and
erecting water works system in
Hurley. Although no steps have
yet been taken to provide the city
with water works system it is pro-
bable that the matter will come up in
the future. In the meantime Hur-
ley will continue to buy its water
from the city of lronwood.

Europe will be saved in spite of all
