New Rural Phone Line to be Built
From Russell to Dexter's Cor
ner's During the Summer.
WILL CONNECT WITH KENOSHA.
Line Will be Under Independent Manage
ment but Later May Unite With the
Bristol Phone Company.

Of building telephones in Kenosha
county there seems to be no end and it
is announced today that another line
is being projected which will ultimate
ly connect Kenosha with Russell, Ill.
This line is being built by the people
residing in the neighborhood of Dex-
ter's Corners and prominent people in
that section are interested in the COM
pany building the line. The line now
being built will extend from the Dex-
ter home to Russell, ILL.,, and will
gather in all the people living in that
district of the county.
After this line is completed a new
line will be built to connect the cor.
ners with Kenosha, thus giving Keno
sha people a chance to talk with Rus
sell without having the trouble of their
conversation passing through three or
four central offices. The new line will
be entirely independent and will not in
any way be connected with the line
now being built by C. D. Holt or with
the one under construction by the
Pleasant Prairie Telephone company.
The construction of this new line
will give the people of Kenosha two
direct lines to Dexter's corners. For
many years this little village has been
one of the stations of the Chicago
Telephone company but there has been
a high toll rate for connections be-
tween Kenosha and Dexters.
The building of so many lines in the
county will probably lead to some con-
fusion but it is thought possible that
in the near future all these iudepend-
ent lines will be united under the man
agement of a Union company. For
some time the Bristol company has
planned to build lines through Pleas
ant Prairie but the rights of way have
been pre-empted by other companies so
as to make it impossible for the Bristol
company to get route for the line.
There are now four telephone COM
panies in the county outside of the
Wisconsin company and in many
places the lines are within a single
mile of each other. With a net work
of wires nearly every house in the
county can be connected if the COM
panies can reach an agreement to place
the entire system under one manage.
ment and with one central Office.
Kenosha is pre-eminently the first
county in the state in regard to the
number and extent of rural phones
now in actual use and the completion
of the new lines now in process of con.
struction will make nearly sixty miles
of wire in the county.
All the companies seem to be doing
paying business and the Bristol COM
pany is certainly paying institution.
w it'll the completion of the new indie
pendent phone line in the city of Ke-
nosha it is expected that all the rural
lines will be connected with it.

THE TOWNS TREES.
Some Useful Suggestions About
Planting and Pruning.

Planting and Pruning.
As rule the trees III town have
hard time of it, receiving little or no
attention. Unless they are treated with
an intelligent understanding Of their
requirements they will not thrive The
aspect of the streets cannot improve as
long as property owners plant a tree
or not in front of their property, as it
suits them, and retain full control of
1t, chopping off limbs and otherwise
mutilating it, as they see fit. Entire
control of the planting and pruning of
shade trees should be taken by the
town, and under the direction Of some
person who has knowledge Of their re-
1quirements in time long rows of yer
dure would border the thoroughfares
In a paper read before horticul-
tural society recently some useful sug-
gestions as to planting trees in towns
were given as follows:
ct makes little difference whether
trees are planted in the spring or fall.
Dig out about cart load Of soil and
fill in the fresh, good earth, unless you
are planting in locality where the
natural soil exists in it's original puri-
ty. Never use rank manure, but you can
mix with the soil moderately manure
that is a year or more old and well de-
cayed. Good planters think it better
that it be not in direct contact with the
roots, so unmixed earth is first thrown
in to cover the roots.
Before planting it is good practice
to do some pruning. Just how much
is determined by examining the roots.
All trees lose more or less roots in dig
ging. If but few are lost, but little
pruning of the top is called for; if
many are, a good deal Of the top must
come away. Nonattention to this is
the cause Of the loss Of thousands of
trees Numerous branches make more
mouths than the roots can supply, and
the trees die Do not be afraid of a
good pruning Of the top. There is an
other reason for pruning at planting.
The trees may be unshapely, the
branches too low or the top spindling.
Pruning or cutting away of branches
to remedy these defects aids the roots
at the same time"

The time is coming when Wisconsin
will builo new capitol and money
spent in charging the present build
ing for the accommodation of the SUI
preme court will be money wasted.
The old capitol has been repaired and
patched at big expense during the past
few years. and it is still inadequate.
BY providing separate building for
the Supreme court, it can be made to
do for some time yet, but it will be
unwise to put any more money into it.
1t will be money saved to stop making
repairs and build new building when
the present one can no longer be used.

PROTECTION FOR CHILDREN.
New Law Governing Child Labor to be
Strictly Enforced by inspectors.

New Law Governing Child Labor to be
Strictly Enforced by Inspectors.
Preparations are being made by
State Factory Inspector Backus for
changes which have been recessitated
in the handling of children working
in factories under the new child labor
law. There are over 5000 children
in the state under 10 years of age
working under affidavit, and each will
be compelled to appear before the
commissioner of labor, the factory in
spector or judge of a county, muni-
cipal or juvenile court and receive a
permit.
Here in Kenosha there are about 500
children between the ages of II and
10 years who will be required to get
permits, in addition to which there
will be scores and scores Of school
children between IL years and IA years
of age who will take out vacation per-
mits, emitting them to work during
the vacation period.
Under the new child labor law,
which is second to none in the country,
no child under II years of age can
work. Between the ages of II and IA
years he. can only work in certain pre-
scribed places, during the period in
which the public schools are not in
session. All children employed in any
esta blishment must have permit.
Much work will be required to get
the system in operation, but within
months the inspectors will be in a
position where they can tell in a
moment whether a certain child is
entitled to work and there will be no
possible manner in which parents who
attempt to drive their children to work
instead of sending them to school will
be able to avoid the requirements of
the statute.
On the other hand sweat shops and
factories in general, who prosper
through child labor, will also be kept
under strict surveillance and compe1l-
ed to live up to the new requirements.
There will be no 1oophole whereby
the manager of factory can.escape
the requirements of the law.

PRIZES FOR GARDENS.
A Memphis Clubs Scheme For Town
Improvement.

Improvement.
When the Housekeepers' club Of
Memphis took up the question of induc-
ing Memphians to pay some attention
to the beautifying Of their lawns and
front yards, they ascertained that the
best results could be obtained by offer
ing cash prizes to the children of the
members who were skillful enough to
cultivate the prettiest flower beds and
window gardens.
Possibly, however, it is in the city Of
Cleveland that the possibilities Of
youthful enthusiasm in this direction
have received their most remarkable
exemplifcation. Generous cash prizes,
the highest being $50, have been Of
fered for the best amateur flower gar
dens and the best amateur porch or
window boxes, and in order to make
the beneficial effects as widespread as
possible the Home Gardening associa-
ton, an organization of public spir-
tied citizens, distributed, principally
through the teachers of the public
schools, thousands of packages Of
seeds.
The result was little short Of as
founding. Pretty little gardens made
their appearance in the slums, and so
strong a hold has the love Of flowers
gained on the minds OF the children
that it is now safe to leave the costliest
flowers unprotected in open yards, a
condition undreamed Of a few years

SCHOOL GARDENS.
The Improvement and Adornment of
School Grounds.

The Improvement and AdOrnment of

There are two main ideas in the cur

The city is in no position to spend
any money for anything but actual
running expenses this year, and if the
people have to wait until the city is
able to pay for them they may have to
wait long time before there are any
free public baths in Kenosha. With
all it's mile or two Of water front there
is no way man or boy can take a
swim in the lake without violating the
law, and free public bath would do
more to add to the enjoyment and
health of the general public than many
other improvements which cost much
more money. The Ministers Associa-
ton has started a campaign for a
cleaner city morally, and the city
fathers are for cleaner city physi-
cally, and some public-spirited citizen
with few hundred dollars to spend
for the benefit of his fellow men can
do more good than either by putting
up free public bath at some place on
the lake shore and giving the people
who have not got the money to spend
for private baths chance to get clean
personally.

work of Improvement Societies.

The Improvement societies in num-
Der of towns and cities have recently
directed their efforts to inducing the
citizens to remove high board fences
as dividing lines between back yards,
and where it has been found imprac-
ticable to secure this concession eff
fort has at least been made to induce
property holders to cover the board
fences with vines. Similarly the idea
of the open lot has been encouraged
for front yards, and where a division
line is insisted upon effort is made to
induce the. provision of hedge or
flower bed instead of a more or less I'M
slightly fence. Some of the societies are
going still further and giving attention
to such projects as the cleansing and
beautifying Of public buildings, the Gre
alton Of pleasing church exteriors and
surroundings and the provision of pub
lie baths and other valuable municipal
utilities.

Primary Election Bill

THERE is but one feature of the bill
as passed that might have been in bet
ter form. 1t appears that the admin
istration men, ia order to approve the
bill, felt moved to strike out that por-
tion of it which provided for immedi-
ate operation of the measure SO far as
it affected city and county government.
Why? One does not like to suspect
that this was done to prevent the peo-
pie from trying the law in limited
way, and after experiencing its virtues
and defects, voting on it with judg-
ment born of practical knowledge.
One hesitates to believe that fear that
this limited trial would expose defects
in the working Of the laW.which would
result in its rejection att the polls,
prompted the assembly amendment.
But it does not look that way. For
some reason it has seemed desirable to
the administration forces that this law
be enacted without any trial of it's
merits-a cat in bag deal, as it were.
There may be some good reason for
this attitude of the administration, but
if there is it is shrouded in mystery as
far as the public is-concerned. And
perhaps the public will not smile on
the theory of the administration that
so far as the dear people are concerned,

be wise."-La Crosse Chronicle.

The report of thel teachers commit

presented to the Board, at the next
regular meeting and it is proba BILE that
all the teachers now employedswill be
retained if they care to hold their posi-

work on the report for the last week
and it is stated that it is ready for the
consideration of the Board 0but the
members of the committee refuse to
make any statements of its contents
more than to state thatsthere will be
few If any changes in theE.teaching
force for next year. The committee
will recommend the reelection of Prof.
Hammill as principal Of the schools
and 1t is probable that the entire force
in the High school will be retained for
another year. The teachers of the
higher grades have worked together in
harmony this year and it is one of the
best forces the city has ever known.
Most of the teachers in the grades
have signi6ed their intentions of ask.
ing for re-appointment, but it is pos
sible that two or three of them will
drop out of the work. 1t is limited that
two of the teachers will be married
shortly after the close of the school
