ducts, blast furnaces, steel works and
rolling mills, machinery manufacture,
and paper and printing, two each;
chemicals and allied products, clay,
glass and stone products, quarries and
stone crushing and transportation, one
each. Agriculture, laundries, assemb-
ling and erecting machinery, textiles
and clothing manufacture and niscel-
laneous, were the groups having no
fatalities.
In non-fatal accidents, commercial
employment led in frequency with
2,061 of the 1852 reported; metal
goods had 1884; construction, 1,120;
public employee, 799; care and Gus
tody of buildings and grounds, $50;
foods and beverages, 675. The de-
crease in non-fatal injuries was 3,171
over June, 1881.
The six principal sources of acci-
dents were: Handling objects, 2,237
with eight fatalities; machinery, 1850
with three fatalities; falls of persons,
1,196 with nine fatalities; hand tools
1,19O with two fatalities; stepping up
on or striking against objects, 1,153
with no fatalities; and motor vehicles,
500 with twelve fatalities.
The total time lost as the result of
June accidents was 594,884 days,
which is 117,241 days less than for
June of last year,
Madison county filed 81 claims, of
which none were fatal, none caused
permanent partial disability, Ia more
than seven days time loss, one seven
days or less and 16 medical cases
causing no loss of time. The time lost
to county workers by reason of acci-
dents was $40 days.
In June, 1881, this county filed II
claims of which none were fatal and
the time loss was ZIG days.
Supt Thos. p. Kearns of the divi-
sion, in an analysis of the statistics,
points out that the six principal causes
of accidents in June of last year are
still the six principal causes of accl-
dents in June of this year, with but
slight variation in relative standing
and that with one exception, the same
six groups which led in accident fire.
quency last month also did SO in June,
1881. The one change was that pub
lie employees supplanted blast fur
naces, steel works and rolling mills
in the high. frequency column.

HOME SATISFACTIONS

The years past have been restless
years. People were not satisfied un-
less on the go. This wandering spir-
it has been costly, it has led to the
waste of savings, and contributed to
the influences creating poor business.
1t would be great help to Green
field, if for the next 10 years, we
could cultivate the satisfactions of
home. We can find beauty in the
flowers of our back yard, just as
much as. in the scenery of some dis
tant state. The charming scenes
within a short motor ride reveal the
wonder of the world, just as much
as scenic attractions that cost a
small fortune to see. Let us put
some affection into our home i'm
provement, and we shall get more
out of life and it will not cost US
so much.-Greenfield Republican.

Leafy Covering Keeps.
'POres" of Soil Open

Leaves covering the ground not only
hold large amount of rainfall them
selves, but they keep the "pores" of
the soil open and allow it to absorb
much more moisture than land not so
covered, according to soil erosion spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
In Oklahoma an experiment is in
progress to discover how much water
the leafy covering in wooded land
holds. Measurements showed that the
amount of water held on the land was
much more than the leaves could hold.
The investigators found that the
leaves filter the water, keep it clear
and let it soak into the soil through
the many cracks and holes. Where
there Is no leafy covering to filter the
water, silt fills these ports and more
water then runs off the land, carry
ing eroded soil.
Two wooded plots of equal size were
observed. One was left in the nat
ural state, the other had the leafy
covering burned off with blow torch.
A special device measured the run-off
of water and the wash-off sail. In
two years, 80 times as much water
and Is times as much soil were saved
on the ground carpeted with forest
leaves as on the burned-over land.
This. shows the Importance of protect
ing sloping land from the evil of ex-
cessive run-off of rain water and the
costly loss of soil that goes with the
flowing water.

Worms in Poultry
By Prof. H. d. Munroe

Next fall we will have the usual
complaints about worm infested pull
let's.
Most poultry raisers will want a
remedy to take care of all the bad eff
fects of worm infestation. 1t is a
large order. In all animals and birds
the damage done by worms is done
during the growing period.
1t is possible to eliminate most of
the worms in a pullet when she is
eight or ten months of age but it is
impossible to correct the damage done
by these worms.
Prevention of worm infestation by
clean range and keeping the young
stock away from the hens is very i'm
portant. In most flocks it will be i'm
possible to completely prevent infes-
tation.
On farms where poultry has been
raised for years or where there is a
known worm infestation, the pullet
flock should be given at least two
worm treatments during the growing
period. Worming pullet flock at
ten weeks and again at the time they
start to lay is good poultry manage
ment under average conditions.
With the intensified conditions in
poultry raising now practiced it is ad-
visable to worm every flock of pull
lets raised this year at least once be-
fore they are put in winter quarters.

"A TIMELY INQUIRY

The County Commissioners Of Gar
rett County are to be congratulated
upon arranging for an investigation
of the list of county dependents,
through the agency of the county
relief committee.
Many of the dependents are worthy
of the assistance they receive each
month from the county, while others,
it is alleged, have obtained places on
the list who had no business there.
The worthy ones will not be affected
by the investigation, but those who
have managed to get help from the
county through misrepresentation and
otherwise, will have to back down.
AS a result of the action the total
amount of the levy for the county de-
pendents will in all probability be
somewhat reduced, thus lessening the
burden now on the taxpayers. And
who is there who will object to the
Tightening of the tax load?

WEBSTER ON COMMUNISM

The name communism probably is
less than one hundred years old, but
the thing represented by the name
has been in existence, even here in the
United States, longer than that. Here
is an extract from an address before
the United States Senate by Daniel
Webster more than a century ago and
it reads as if it might have been writ
ten yesterday:
"There are persons who constantly
clamor. They complain of oppression,
speculation, and the pernicious influ-
eice of accumulated wealth. They cry
out loudly against all banks and COR
porations, and all the means by which
small capitals become united, in order
to produce important and beneficial
results. They carry on mad hostility
against all established institutions.
They would choke up the fountains of
industry and dry all its streams.
"In country Of unbounded liberty,
they clamor against oppression. In a
country of perfect equality, they
would move heaven and earth against
privilege and monopoly. In country
where property is more equally di-
vided than anywhere else, they rend
the air with the shouting of agrarian
doctrines.
"In country where the wages of
labor are high beyond all parallel,
and where lands are cheap, and the
means of living low, they would teach
the laborer that he is but an oppressed
slave.
"What can such men want? What
do they mean? They can want moth
ing but to enjoy the fruits of other
mems labor. They can mean nothing
but disturbance and disorder, the diff
fusion of corrupt principles, and the
destruction of the moral sentiments
and moral habits of society"

Several committee meetings have
been held since the annual meeting of
the association at Aurora, and a foun-
dation has been laid for what leading
educators and economists pronounce
as one of the outstanding projects for
development in, the United States.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette carried
a news article and an editorial dealing
with this development in the modern
science of regional planning.

HOW ABOUT: ADVERTISING


Business is falling off. We must
begin to do less advertising"
Business is falling off. We must
begin to do more Advertising"
Those are the PHILOSOPHERS of bust
ness two or three decades ago and
business today. In the era before the
merits of advertising were appreci-
ated or even half-upderstood, the mer-
chant and manufacturer were inclined
to regard advertising as luxury of
dubious value. 1t was all right, they
thought; when business was good, but
it wasn't necessity, after all. They
would quote to their associates the old
saying that any old fish could swim
downstream but it required live one
to go upstream, but they did not usu-
ally apply this maxim in times of
business depression.
The modern business man realizes
that extraordinary conditions require
extraordinary exertions. He goes out
for volume and profits more energeti-
cally and on a holder scale when his
disheartened competitors find the 60
ing rough. Even when he does moi
get the handsome returns which came
to him in other days, he usually dis
covers that his losses have not been
nearly so serious as those of his timid
rivals. ,T,f..
