» PAGE FIGHT BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE THURSDAY, AUGU: 19, 1920 REVERSE RULE OF INSURANCE FOR THRESHING { Workmen’s Compensation Bu- reau Hold That It Is Op- tional, Not Compulsory CLASSED WITH FARM WORK The ruling of the workmen’s com- pensation bureau, requiring thresher- men to take out liability insurance, has been reversed. Under the new ruling threshing is classed as agri- cultural service and is therefore ex- empt from the compulsory provisions of the act. ‘This announcement is contained in a letter sent out to the threshermen of the state by the bureau as fol- lows: “At the time the workmen’s com- pensation bureau made the ruling that all threshermen (except farm- ers threshing their own grain) must come under the workmen’s compen- sation fund and pay premiums for all workmen employed by them, the bureau was in some doubt as to whether the service of men employed on threshing rigs was not ‘agricul- tural service’ and therefore optional under the law. Therefore, the bu- reau referred th matter to its attor- neys for an opinion which has been received today, Attorneys Give Report “The attorneys report that after an exhaustive investigation on com- pensation legislation in general and an investigation of the legislative history of the law in this state, they have arrived at the conclusion that it was not the intention of the legis- lature to include threshing under the compulsory features of the law. That is was the intention of the legislature that men employed in threshing be considered in ‘agricul- tural service and finally that men employed in threshing would un- doubtedly be held by the courts to be employed in ‘agricultural service.’ “Therefore, insurance for that class of work 18 not compulsory under the law. This is to notify you that the ruling of the bureau has been modi- fied so that insurance in the work- men’s compensation fund of per- sons employed by threshermen on stacked for five new “queens of the STARS NEW YORK—The cards are all hart, at the Ma: She is Maria Asc Hajos (upper right) y the star roll in a new musical romance IN NEW BROADWAY PLAYS ine Eliott theater.) the new Selwyn y r).

It will be promptly refunded to you upon receipts of your applica- tion for refund. “If you wish your employes to be protected and insured against injury and have already paid your premium do not apply for the refund. If you want your employes protected’ and insured and have not yet made ap- plication, make your application and remit your premium immediately. The modified ruling of workmen’s compensation board is that insurance of employes on and around threshing rigs is optional and not compulsory. “Workmen’s Compensation bureau, by Acting Secretary, J.

In addition to an already-Jarge fam- ily of kittens, a cat which belongs to has adopted two coyote puppies. Several weeks ago when W. W. Buckbee and R. H. Carter, who live near the Brent farm, found the den captured several very, small coyote! puppies, says a western newspaper. When shown at the Brent ¢armhouse some of the children wanted the little coyotes and paid their captors for two of them. The little coyotes were placed among the kittens belonging to the old fam-| ily cat and after a careful scrutiny! and a few sniffs, the old cat bega mothering them the same as her own kittens, f Now the cat’s family of kittens and the two adopted coyote puppies are nearly two months old and all live to- gether happily and appear to be mak- img the most of life, The ‘coyotes are getting much bigger than the kittens and are playful and mischievous. stronger, but the kittens are more ac- tive, so It is about an even match as | yet. While the coyotes can easily wallop the kittens on a straight-ovt fight, yet thé latter, when:on the de- fensive, will curl up on their backs and keep the coyote puppies at bay by the rapid kicks of hind legs and the scratching of their sharp claws.— Exchange. How Tides Will Be Harnessed. An attempt is to be made to harness the tides at the mouths of several British rivers, using the power thus obtained to generate electricity. The engineers who are making the plans estimate that the electricity will be obtained at only two-thirds the cost of electric power generated by coal. The basic principle underlying most of the inventions for harnessing the tides is the working of a turbine by tidal ebb and flow. The tide makes the power at both its inflow and its outflow, only ceasing for a compara- tively short time during the period of half tide. In one Cheshire and Lan- cashire district the great variation in the hour of the tide at neighboring estuaries makes possible, through an} 20 oppertunity. ingenious discovery, the production of | er men, maximum energy during an almost continuous period.

Third Class Troublesome. The third group has given the fed- eral farm board and all the institu: tions great trouble. Insurmountable difficulties seem to have arisen. In varying numbers they form the prob: fem at every state agricultural col- lege and school, and they constitute This large percentage is due to the fact that these men for the most part are from isolated country districts where the opportunities have not been so great for early education. Farmer parents have been unwilling to allow the boys more than a very ordinary education, for fear of losing them from the farm. Many. have had Such are usually otd- | 5 or 20 years past country Many of the men. are school age. therefore practically illiterate, and to this number must be added the foreign illiterates; that is, for= eigners who are illiterate from the English standpoint. : cer, worked out an elementary school, which he termed a “guidance school,” where such men were collected and In- structed in the elementary com- nion branches and in elementary agri- quiture, The school has been made prerequisite to certain courses that Dr. Quick has designed as agricul- tural unit courses. They are divided into units of one month each, cover one year continuously from month to}. month and may be entered any month. A man may take one or several unit courses, one as a. major and others as minors related to the ma- jor, while at the same time he contin- | ues in the common branches of the guidance school.
