WIDESPREAD RUSH T0 BUY CROP TOBACCO MEN ARE BUYING IN ALL THE RAISING DISTRICTS —FARMERS ARE INCLINED NOT TO SELL The cutting of a few small crops of tobacco has already commenced January 18 last, for 175 weeks. On| January 17 Marsh was plastering in! a new house that Mrs. Groner was] having erected in Bangor, and he fell from a ladder and suffered an in-| jury to his hand. In addition to paying Marsh $8.80 a week until a total of $1540 is paid, the defendant is directed to pay $10] for hospital service, $25 for surgi- cal operations, $2 to Dr. N. W. Reich-| ard, of Bangor, for attending him, | and 75 cents for medicine. She is| also directed to pay all the witness; fees, which amount to about $50. | The board decided that Mrs. Gro-| ner was the employer and that she] was engaged in the business of build- | ing a house. The employer had plen- | ty of opportunity to avail herself of | the provisions of the law, which went | into effect on January 1, by taking out insurance on the men employed. Just what progress will be made in other parts of the town relative to applying oil we are unable to say, but anything in the way of keeping down the dust these warm days will go a long way toward the comfort of our citizens. BR Had a Good Sale The sale of Elam Myers at Florin yesterday, was an exceptionally good one. Cows sold as high as $135 and the average price paid was $105. Some very good Holstein cows were sold. ¢ Sure Far Reaching f The first hearing was held. before Paul Houck, referee, of Fottsville, who denied Marsh compensation. The decision was appealed to the Compen- sation Board.” Do you realize that if you have & little paper hanging, painting, plas- tering, carpentering, wood chopping, or any work of that kind to be done, and the person whom you employ is not a contractor and does not carry workmen's compensation insuranee that in case of an accident, you are solely responsible for that person’s injuries? Well you are according to the above ruling. For instance: You hire a boy to do some whitewashing or pick cher- ries. He falls and break a limb. Are you aware of the fact that yom must pay this young man for his injuries. This law on the face of it, s¢ a good one and does and should tect the working class, but estimation its bounds are un} and there's no telling wher limit line would be drawn.
