STEAM FOR FARMERS
Cicero Allen introduces a New Wrinkle
to Farmers in the Neighbor-
hood of Bristol.
PL0Ws FIELDS WITH AN ENGINE.

Cicero Allen, a well known farmer
of the town of Bristol, has placed an
other indignity on the equine family
and the time honored duty of dragging
the plow has been taken away from
the horses on that farm and a steam
traction engine is being employed to
put in the spring crops. Mr.. Allen
declares that he is saving time by his
new power, and he thinks that in a
few years the horse will not be used
for farm work.
AT the opening Of the season Mr..
Allen was a little short of horses, and
he decided to try the work of putting
in a crop with a traction engine He
had owned the engine for some time,
but it had been used about Snonth
each year to pull threshingm chine
outfit about the country He har-
messed up the engine and attached it
to a breaking p1ow and started work.
In the first day he found that p1ow-
ing with traction engineawas a de-
cided success, and at the end of the
third day he found that he had done
third more work than he could have
done with a team of horses. The fol-
lowing day the engine was pushed
little harder and even more work was
completed.
When the spring work was com
plete, he attached the planter to the
engine and the corn went in so fast
that Mr.. Allen completed his corn
planting several days earlier than
any of his neighbors. Then the
neighbors began to borrow the en-
CINE, and its use became general in
the neighborhood.
The experiment in Bristol is at
tracing wide attention about the
county and it is claimed that Mr.. AL
lens crop is put in as well or better
than any crop in the neighborhood.
There seems to be only one objection
to the traction engine taking the
place of the horse and that is found
in the cost of operating. Of course
the running of the engine demands
the services of two men andquite an
expense to provide fuel for the steam,
but the farmers claim that the
amount saved in time will more than
pay for this additional expense.
Farmers in the far west have been
using the traction engine in this
way for several years, but this is the
first time the experiment has been
tried in Kenosha county.

Famous Liberty Bell From Philadelphia
to Pass Through This City Next
Month on Its Way West.
A FAMOUS HERALD OF LIBERTY.

The famous Liberty Be11', which
proclaimed the adoption of the Dec
1aration Of independence in 1916, is to
be brought from Philadelphia to the
West during the first week in June,
and the people of Kenosha may have
the chance of seeing the famous relic
of colonial times. According to the
schedule now arranged, the bell will
pass through Kenosha on the morning
Of June 4th. It is not scheduled to
make any stop in this city, but as It
will be carried on regular trains, ii
will undoubtedly remain in the city
long enCug to allow the people of the
city to at least get look at it. The
people of the West have taken a great
interest in this western itinerary of
the Liberty Bell, and the committee
IN charge Of the bell has been flood
ed with requests to have it halted in
the different cities. The bell will be
sent from Philadelphia to Chicago,
where it will remain for several hours.
1t will then be taken to Milwaukee,
dIlQ d1lC1 1t - CAIllOllCu lI1C4G II WILL
be seen in several of the smaller Wis
consin cities. 1t is expected that the
bell will reach ST. Louis about the
10th of the month.
This is the most famous relic in the
historical collection of the United
States. 1t stood in the old state house
at Philadelphia at the time of the
passing of the Declaration of indie
pendence, and its ringing first an
nounced to the world that the Amer
lean colonies had thrown off the yoke
of English domain. For years the old
bell has been venerated, and the great
est care is being taken to preserve it,
It is battered and cracked, but it is
still cared for with all the tenderness
of the country which reveres it. A
private car has been secured for its
transportation to the Exposition, and
It has been arranged especially for
housing the bell. Full announcement
will be made Of the arrival and de-
parture of the bell in this city.

HOW TO LIVE CHEAPLY.
Zion Couple Discover That 1t Is Possible to
Exist on the sum of S1.6S Week.

A man and his wife spend only 81. 6e
a week in Zion City and thrive on their
diet. Wheat which they get at feed
store, and fruit are the staples Of their
daily fare. When they wish to enjoy
a real feast, they lay in a supply of
eggs, nuts, dates and figs. This how
ever is regarded as extravagant.
DR.. Robert Aston, dentist is the
member Of Dowie's colony who has
systematized his diet theories. He is
six feet tall and muscular. Naturally
he doesn't carry any superfuous
flesh. Yesterday he announced the
cost Of his housekeeping.
When the dentist decided to adopt a
scientific diet he investigated the
food question. He found there were
fifty-seven varieties that humans con-
sumo mostly unfit to eat.
"Why,'' he said, "Shou1d any sane
person eat cabbage?' It only con-
tains per cent of nntriment, while
wheat contains 81 per cent.
We buy wheat at the feed store.
For 10 cents we get enough for
thirty meals for one person. We
put the grain in a vessel of salt
water and let it slowly simmer over a
fire for several hours. To be perfect
whole wheat should cook all one day
and be eaten the next. We eat the
wheat with cream and sugar.
Potatoes are regarded by the den
fist as fair article of diet because
they contain 40 per cent of nutrition
But he won't eat them fried because
they are hard to digest that way. He
has them baked or boiled. Tea,
coffee and similar drinks are on the
boycotted list.
Mrs. Aston favors the simple diet.
She says it makes housekeeping easy.

is TERRIBLY BURNED
Little Daughter Of John Kunze OF Pleas
ant Prairie, Met With Awful Acct
dent This Morning.
BURNS MAY RESULT FATALLY
Explosion of a Lamp Results In Twelve
Year-Old Anna Kunze Being Painfully.
If Not Fatally. Injured
From Saturdays Daily.

Anna Kunze, aged twelve years, the
daughter of John Kunze, a farmer re-
siding FIVE miles south of Kenosha, on
the sand road, was probably fatally
burned this morning by the explosion
of lamp. Physicians were hurried1y
summoned to the house and the little
girl is still alive, but she is suffering
almost inhuman pain and it is feared
that she cannot recover from the in
juries received.
The little girl and her father live
alone, the mother of the child having
died some eight years ago. Since the
little girl was ten years of age she
has been in charge of the house, and
she got up before daylight this nom
ing in order to get breakfast for her
father and to arrange to come to Ke-
nosha for visit with friends here.
When she left her bedroom she was
carrying a lamp and in descending a
steep staircase the lamp fell from her
hands and was broken.
The little girl fell half way down
the u1S0C OF stairs ana the burning
oil was poured over her clothing.
The flames spread rapidly and before
the father, who was in the kitchen,
could reach the scene of the accident,
the little girls clothing was mass of
flames. With great presence of mind
the father took a blanket from bed
near by and threw it over the child
and managed to extinguish the
flames. The neighbors were hur-
ried1y called to the house and the
child was tender1y removed to her own
room. An examination showed that
she had been fearfu11y burned about
the arms and shoulders and in many
places the hair had been singed from
her head.
The heroic manner in which the
little girl had taken up the work of
her dead mother has made her a
favorite with the people in the neigh
borhood and for this reason the acct
dent has caused the greatest sorrow
among the people of Pleasant Prairie.

TO BUILD NEW SCHOOL.

school Patrons of the Town of Trevor win
Arrange for Growth of Population.
John Borhn, of the town of Trevor,
in the township Of Salem, has sent
out call for meeting of the school
patrons of the village to be held on
next Monday evening, at which time
plans will be considered for the build
ing of a new school in the city. The
growth of the population of Trevor in
the last few years has broken all rec
ords and the present school is en-
tire1y inadequate to the demands of
the district.
It is expected that the new school
will be completed in time for use at
the coming fall term. This makes
three new school buildings planned
for Kenosha county during the pre-
sent year.

TIE Republicans of Wisconsin have
apparently come to the parting Of the
ways. The anti-third- termers with a
clear majority of SIS legally elected
delegates holding certificates EMIT
ling them to seats in the convention
can not consent to have the will of the
majority of the Republican voters of
Wisconsin overridden by the unfair
and unjustifab1e methods employed
by the Governor to control the con-
vention, and they will be upheld by
the majority Of the party in whatever
action they may see fit to take. Re
garding the methods employed by the
Governor to defeat the will of the par
ty it is sufficient to say that they we're
worthy of the man and his cause.
Such a barefaced and desperate at
tempt to steal convention was never
seen before in this OF any other state,
and it is to be hoped for the sake Of
justice and fair play that it never will
be tried again.
