CORN CONTEST AT INSTITUTE

Interesting Competition to Be Started at
Pleasant Prairie Earmere' Institute.
AS one of the features at the far1.l-
ers' institute to be held at Pleasant
Prairie on Jan. % and % corn grow
ing contest will be inaugurated which
should prove of lasting interest to the
younger generation of the county.
Handsome prizes will be offered by the
farmers of Pleasant Prairie and the
business men of Kenosha for the
twelve ears scoring the greatest num-
Der of points.
The students or professors at the
university will be judges and the con-
test will be decided at the institute to

consisting of w. S. Cole, president;
RevNR. S. Williams, secretary; C. C.
Brown, treasurer, aud A. B Cole, So
licitor, has been appointed to arrange

the visitors to the institute in hand
some style and the institute promises to
be one of the most successful ever held
in the state.
The institute at Pleasant Prairie in
no way conflicts with that to be held at
Salem on Jan. 20 and 81, as separate
programs under different conductors
have been arranged and any one in
terested in farming cannot fail to de-
rive pleasure and profit from attend.

should take an active part in the insti-
tutes and all are urged to come pre-
pared to ask and answer questions.

Volunteer Firemen in Annual Session
Vote to Follow Recommendations
OF the Fire Commission.
THE OLD COMPANIES TO GIVE WAY
Old Corporation VIII Not Be Dissolved and
the Money In Relief Fund viii Remain
In Corporations Hands.

by vote or twenty. seven to sixteen
the members of the Kenosha volunteer
fire department Monday evening de.
cided that change should be made in
the fire fighting system of the city
and the 6remen recommended that the
Council follow the recommendations
of the police and FIRE commission and
employ paid force of twelve call men
to take the place Of the volunteers who
have served for so many years.
The sentiment that has been con-
nected with the volunteer department
for SO many years will not be allowed
to die out and while the volunteers are
placed on the retired list by the en-
ployment of paid force the corpora
ton will not be disbanded and the
volunt eers will continue to hold meet
ings and all the funds that are now Ia
the hands Of the corporation will re-
main there for the benefit of the dis
abled members of the department..
The action Of the meeting Monday
night was not without a struggle and
many of the old time members of the
department who had opposed the ac-
ton recommended by the commission
spoke against such a move. They
argued that there was no good reason
to shelve the members of the volunteer
department and this fact was concurred
IN by many of the friends of the rec
concentrations of the commission, but
it was also held that it would be neces-
sary for some change to be made in the
near future and, as many of the volun-
teers desired to be relieved of the work
now was a good time to make the
change.
One resolution was presented asking
that the thousand dollars which had
been in the treasury of the department
| be used for an engine house in the
third ward, but this did not meet with
favor among the members and many
of them thought that this money should
be held III trust for the purpose for
which it was given, and if the third
ward gets an engine house the money
for this purpose will have to be appro-
priated by the city. The fund will un.
douotedly be handled wisely by the
corporation in whose hands it has been
placed and it will not be allowed to
pass into unhallowed hands.
| After the decision had been made to
follow the recommends tons of the
commission. The department elected
officers for the coming year as follows:
President-George Wallis
President-Char1e H. Goodma n
| Secretary-L. S. Winnegar
Collector-Phillip Hartman
Treasurer-Charles C. Brown.
The volunteer department made no
recommendations in regard to the Sc
lection of Chief of the Department as
this matter is now entirely in the
hands of the Police and Fire Commits

A wOMAN,s COMPLEXION.

It is rank foolishness to attempt to
remove sallowness or greasiness Of the
skin by the use of cosmetics, or s'local''
treatment, as,advocated by the .'beauty
doctors" The only safe and sure way
that a woman can improve. her COM
plexion is by purifying and enriching
the blood, which can only be accomp-
lished by keeping the liver healthy
and active. The liver is the seat Of
disease and blood pollution. Green's
August Flower acts directly on the
liver, cleanses and enriches the blood,
purifies the complexion. It also cures
constipation, billiousness, nervousness
and induces refreshing sleep. A sim
gle bottle Of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing cases of dyspepsia and
indigestion. New trial size bottle rs
