THRESH WHEAT BY AUTO LIGHT ! TO AVERT LOSS Tanners Grow Desperate . When Continued Damp Weather Starts Grain to Sprouting in Shocks. . , WORK ON SUNDAYS

Question of Plowing for Next Season's Crop May Prove Serious Before Many Weeks. ' " In previous years ninety per cent ot Wayne county's wheat crop has been threshed by the first of August, and the work of threshing oats has been ,..11 .A, .A This year both 'the wheat and the oats crops in Wayne county present dismal outlooks for the farmers. Up tr IKa nroflAtit tint nlnA tn r r9 avaw ten Wayne county farmers, it is esti mated, nave not threshed their wheat and in some fields mould has began to appear on the water-logged shocks of oats. The prolonged wet season is alone tesponsible tor the condition of the . vheat and oats crops. Where wheat is sufficiently dry to be threshed farmers are putting forth every effort to have it threshed before nnother deluge further delays this work. Tn some sections of the county n:ght threshing has been reported, so that every minute between rains can bo taken advantage of. Park Cars in Field. In fields where wheat threshing has been done at night the work is accomplished by the aid of automobile head lights. All farmers living in the neigh- . iorhood who own automobiles park teem about the field and one of two machines are placed within the field. Under the glare of the automobile lumps the threshing machines are operated. Although Wayne county farmers are rot keen about working on Sundays a large number of them arranged to thresh wheat last Sunday, but only a little work was possible because of the severe storm late Saturday night and the heavy downpour Sunday noon. "If we thought next season was going to be. like this one has been I believe most Wayne county farmers would go back to the old fashioned system of threshing wheat," one disgusted tiller of the fields said today. "Not so very long ago it was the general custom to remove wheat, to barns and sheds after it had been cut and Keep it stored until- thoroughly dry. Then it would be threshed, frequently r.fter the arrival of cold weather. In recent years farmers have kept their vheat in shocks until dried and then tnresh it in the fields where it was grown. Because of the havy rains all this summer wheat has had little opportunity to dry. When we will be able to plow our fields for fall planting Is a question I cannot answer."

According to dispatches from Berlin, the Russians have already withdrawn from Warsaw and the rich prize already is in possession of the Germans. Not the least important strategic value that the Polish capital will give the Kaiser's army is the railroad facilities out of Warsaw to the east; north and south. The railroad bridge, spanning the Vistula at this point, will give the Germans splendid facilities to bring their munition and supply trains into the city to maintain a garrison there and a headquarters for the army which they will send out against the Russian positions farther east.

Expects Fleet to Go. However, naval officials passed the tip that within a very short time a good part of the Atlantic fleet would again be steaming south to Mexican waters. It is already certain that the situation in Vera Cruz and throughout the territory controlled by Carranza is rapidly getting beyond control. The reports that are being circulated by the Carranza leaders, backed up by messages from the United States about the Wilson administration, are inflaming the populace. The old cry of "gringo domination" is being adroitly raised, and the confidential communi' ion received by the state department indicates that unless another show of force is made within a Bhort time, all foreigners, regardless of nationality, will be in danger. Fears Effect. . . The administration is understood to be very anxious to avoid the use of force, and even an appearance of it, until after the conference in New York tomorrow between the Latin-Americans and Secretary Lansing. The orders to the battleships at Newport were prepared by Admiral Benson before he had his conference with Secretary Lansing. He had intended, it is understood, to start two battleships at once, and to order others to get ready. Under Lansing's orders, however, this program was held up. A rush message to Commander McNamee asking him to wire at once exactly what the need is. He has been asked to detail just why he wants more ships. It is understood that if the emergency arises the Tennessee, which is en route to Haiti with Colonel Waller's marines on board, will be diverted by wireless and sent to Vera Cruz, while Rear Admiral Caperton may also be sent there from Port-au-Prince. The present intentions of the government do not contemplate any movement of troops. Even the warships will not be sent until Secretary Lansing and President Wilson are convinced that this action is necessary to prevent massacre. They are fearful that a resort to force or an appearance of it on the very eve of the renewal of the conference with the Latin-Americans might cause the latter to balk against supporting the general program to bring about peace in Mexico.

EVEN SINGER IN CHURCH CHOIR COMES UNDER ACT

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 10. Every man, woman, boy and girl who is employed, and every man, wbman, boy and girl who is an employer, will be affected, either directly or indirectly, by the operation of the new workmen's compensation act, which becomes effective in Indiana on Sept. 1. The workmen's compensation act is a law designed to provide specific and definite compensation for workiigmen and women in case of injury and to eliminate the necessity of going into court to obtain redress for injuries suffered in any of the thousands of industrial establishments in this state. The provisions of the law may be rejected by employers or employes by giving thirty days' notice to the industrial board of Indiana, which has charge of the operation of the statute. So sweeping is the act in its application, and so thoroughly does it encompass the army, of employers and employes in its provisions, that a recent study of it by men learned in the law, results In a finding that factory employes or railroad brakemen are not affected to any greater extent than is the singer in a church choir. In the first bulletin on the operation of the law, written by Samuel R. Artman, a member of the industrial board of Indiana, the purposes and the effect of the law, together with a comprehensive explanation of how employers and employes shall proceed under it, is given. It sets out just what are the duties of employers and employes who operate under it in such simple and comprehensive words that Mr. Artman's bulletin has been copied by other states where similar statutes are in operation. May Escape Litigation. Those who operate under the compensation act in Indiana will escape the obnoxious litigation which inevitably results from injury to workingmen, and instead of the usually longdelayed settlement of claims of workmen against their employers where injuries result the settlement will be made as soon as the necessary details are completed by the industrial board. Mr. Artman, in his explanation of the law, cites the advantages of workmen's compensation in the following paragraphs: "There are, at least, three very desirable direct advantages of workmen's compensation over common and statutory liability laws: "1. It insures promptly to the inRAILWAY c rr i fxiP. rtvF IP VISTULA AT WAfcSAW l

i

jured workman, and, in case of his death, to his dependents, a certain compensation instead of the often long delayed and very uncertain final result of a lawsuit. "The compensation, In the first Instance, is made to fall upon the employer, not as a punishment, not because he was at fault, but in order to throw the burden ultimately upon those who enjoy the product. Burden on Consumer. "Those who enjoy the product, and ultimately pay the compensation, thereby render certain to the injured workman what is justly due him and prevent him and his dependents from becoming the objects of a most undesirable charity. "Under the old system only a small per cent of the injuries resulting from industrial accidents were actually compensated. "The premiums paid for liability insurance, and which was considered a legitimate item in the cost of production, were largely expended in defending lawsuits. "This system resulted in actual waste. It insured the results of lawsuits, and wholly failed to provide direct protection to the workmen and indirect protection to the public, as it should. "Under the compensation system it must be expected that the number of payments will be greatly increased, but the elimination of the waste incurred in the litigation of claims under the old system will certainly have a material effect in keeping the cost of compensation within reasonable limits. "2. The certainty that compensation will be paid is sure to be conducive to the contentment of the workmen. , Eliminate Lawsuits. "The elimination of the probability of a lawsuit between the employer and employe, in the event of the injury of the latter, is bound to be productive of a better state of harmony and co-operation between them. It may be expected to reduce the probability of friction, discord and ill feeling and bring about a closer and more compatible relationship between the employer and the employe. "3. The certainty that injuries are to be compensated is a potential factor for safety. It will compel the employer to consider the causes of injuries and the means of preventing them. It is a silent, automatic and constant argument for the best working conditions for accidents. It pleads not merely for 'safety first,' but for 'safety all the time.' " Farmers are not meant to be amendable to the law, although its provisions are such as to permit them to take advantage of it if they desire, and a number of them have done so. Domestic servants, or those employing domestic servants, are amendable to the law only to the extent that any accident befalling a domestic servant which disables such servant under the meaning of the statute, must be reported to the board. All those who elect to operate under the act, and they number the vast majority of the employers and employes of the state, by their acceptance of the statute automatically accept the terms of the compensation, and where an injury results to an employe the compensation is fixed by law, thus obviating the delay occasioned by lengthy and obnoxious law suits.

MULLER'S Continued From Page One reach the conclusion that the attempt to make satisfactory repairs can not be accomplished without dismantling the bridge and at a very heavy ex pense. The eliminating factor in con sidering repairs is, that provisions must be made to carry interurban cars with safety. In order to do this the structure must be made much stronger than when it was first built. The serious disintegration over the entire structure, makes the detailed description and location of all dam aged members of great length and will not be used except on the most dan gerous locations. The towers supporting the trusses are built up out of steel columns which are tied together by the use of steel struts and tie rods. These columns have lost by rust 50 per cent or their strength. These columns in their present condition can buckle and at once, allow the towers to collapse. One column after buckling will at once wreck the entire bridge. One of the steel shoes supporting the deck trusses on the east tower is cracked and is another very dangerous condition. Three of the gusset plates connect ing the columns with steel struts on the east tower of the long span have boles rusted through the plates; this is one of the most serious conditions. The I beams in the floor system are in many places rusted through the en tire web of beams. The bottom of columns where anchored onto stone masonry, have rust ed very badly. It is Impossible to determine just how much strength is still left in many of the steel members, on ac count of the rust not being uniform in depth and not being localized on each member. The stress diagram which was made and used in the preparation of the report filed in 1911 proves that the interurban cars would overload the structure, when new, more than 40 per cent. The bridge, when new, was design ed for ordinary city street cars, weighing 25 tons or 50,000 pounds The interurban cars now using this bridge weigh from 75 to 100 tons each. A bridge at this location receives very heavy traffic the magnitude of which is increasing each year. At present the amount of traffic is far in excess of that on any other bridge in eastern Indiana. The factor of safety on such an im portant bridge should at no time be questionable. It is my duty to call your atten tion to the fact that the use of the present bridge for interurban cars is absolutely unsafe for public travel, and should be discontinued as soon as possible. It will be necessary for your board to give early considera tion and attention to the replacing of this bridge with one of safety. I shall advise that steps be taken without delay for the removal of the old structure and the erection of a new concrete bridge not less than 60 feet in width of roadway and in keep ing with the traffic now usins the structure. Very respectfully submitted, JOHN MUELLER. Bridge Engineer. What to Use and Avoid On Faces That Perspire Skin, to be healthy, must breathe. It also must perspire must expel, through the pores, its share of the body's waste material. Certain creams and powders clog the pores, interfering both with elimination and breathing, especially during the heated period. If more women understood this, there would be fewer self-ruined complexions. This remarkable substance actually absorbs a bad skin, also unclogging the pores. Result: The fresher, younger uhder-skin is permitted to breathe and to show itself. The exquisite new complexion gradually peeps out, one free from any appearance of artificiality. Obtain an ounce of mercollzed wax from your druggist and try It. Apply nightly like cold cream, for a week or two, washing it off mornings. To remove wrinkles, here's a marvelously effective treatment, which also acts naturally and harmlessly: Dissolve 1 oz. powdered saxolite In H pt. witch hazel and use as a wash lotion. Adv.

These taxes are distributed in October and they will con stitute practically the only source or revenue to the city until the distribution of taxes next spring. The first of this year the city had to negotiate a temporary loan of $5,000 to tide it over until the tax distribution last April. Although Mayor Robbins declared that it was nothing unusual for cities to arrange for temporary loans in anticipation of tax collections, Controller McMahan retorted that such a system had not been in vogue in Richmond until this year. Mayor Robbins in speaking to the heads of his departments referred to the lugubrious statements of the controller and reminded his assistants that 'it would be absolutely necessary for them to operate their departments next year at the minimum expense. Population Increases. "Richmond is growing in population, but the valuation of property upon which our tax levies are based has not increased in value proportionately," he declared.. "Our necessary expen ses have greatly increased In recent years but there has been very little increase In the city's revenue year by year." The mayor Instructed the depart ment chiefs to prepare estimates of the appropriations the various depart ments would require for next year and to submit these estimates to the controller within the next few days so that they could be used as a basis for framing the 1916 budget, which will be taken, up by council at Its first meet ing In September. "In making your estimates don't ask for the maximum appropriation with the expectation of getting a third less," the mayor warned. "Base your figures on the least amount that your department can be operated on." A look of agony crossed the mayor's countenance when William Eversman, president of the police board, declared that he did not see how It would be possible for the city to get along next year without an automobile ambulance. He said people would not use the antiquated, jolting horse ambalance any more. Mayor Stop Ford. When Charles Ford, park superintendent, said that he would advise three very Important Improvements at Glen Miller next year he was never given the opportunity of stating what they were. "These improvements are neces sary ones. The people have been ask ing for them." Ford began and con cluded. "Maybe the people who are asking for them are like I am. I want an au tomobile but there isn't any chance of me getting one." the mayor Interrupted. If any of the other department chiefs intended to make suggestions as to improvements in their depart ments involving additional expenditures they swallowed them after wit nessing the rout of the park superin tendent.

DODDRIDGE CHAPEL, Aug. 10. Over fifty members of the Doddridge Literary society picnicked Saturday In Glen Milla rparav. Eleven machines loaded with picnickers left Centerville at 2:30, and made the trip to the park. Dainty place cards were arranged on ' the table that was waited down with "eats." At 5:30 all the people found their places and did Justice to fried chicken, salads and many other good things that make a picnic successful. After supper they returned to the automobiles and proceeded to Morton lake. One. of the most pleasant features was the ride of the entire party on a gosoline launch. They sang songs both old and new and some even venture the assertion that they sang "Tipperary." Among those present were Misses Cora Gates. Charline . Burgess, - Otta Green. Daphne Dailey.

HAIR ON FACE NECK AND ARMS WHAT CAUSES IT Nature does not produce coarse, Ftubborn growths of superfluous hair. They are caused by the unwise use of FO-called hair removers. The only way to gain control of such growths is to devitalize them. It is impossible to accomplish this result with pastes and rub-on preparations because they only remove hair from the surface of the skin. DeMiracle. the original liquid depilatory, devitalizes hair by attacking It under the skin as well as on the skin. Imitations of DeMiracle are as worthless as pastes and rub-on' preparations because they lack certain ingredients that DeMiracle alone contains which give it the power to rob hair of its vitality its life sustaining force. Insist on the geneuine DeMiracle and you will get the original liquid hair remover. Others are worthless imitationsrefuse them. DeMiracle is sold in three sizes. 50c, 11.00 and $2 00 bottles. The larger sizes are the most economical for dermatologists and large users to buy. If your dealer will not supply you buy a bottle at Clem Tbistlethwaite's drug stores or order direct from us.
