Who Desire to Obtain a Musical
Education Without Expense.

A great many people have written commendatoTY
letters to the F. G. Smith Piano Co, 1928 Pa.
ave., praising them for their generous offer 10
loan square pianos free to enable children to take
up the study of music without expense.
In answer TO the inquiries OF the writer Mr.,
Van Wickle, vice president Of the company, said:
I'VE have twenty-five thirty good square pianos
upstairs which are lying idle. and conceived
the idea Of putting these pianos TO good and
useful purpose by loanng them free for six months
to any parents who desire to give their children
musical education without the necessity Of going
to any expense. We send the piano with nice
stool and to your residence, and ask nothing
for the of it. All We do request is that you;
defray the cost of hauling the piano. School is
over and this is ideal time to start the boys
and girls IN music. We furnish the piano free OF
charge, and you can engage a competent teaches,
at very reasonable rates. We propose that every
child In Washington who wishes TO study musid
may do So matter how limited their means MAJ

1t is stated that the Conduit road is no
longer dry" and that "speakeasfes'' are
again fiourishing along that noted thor
oughfare. gentleman of prominence who
resides in that locality, is authority for
the statement that at least five establish

OF yore. and that there are probably sew
eral others doing business cautiously.
Notwithstanding the very stringent local
option law in force in this county, the
executive committee of the Montgomery

meeting decided to continue in business
and be as watchful as ever, and 1t Is be-
lieved that the resumption of business on

The board of review is receiving the
usual number of complaints on the
assessment. but it is noticeable that
most of the trouble arises from wide
variations IN the assessment of prop
erty in the same neighborhood, and
these mistakes are easily remedied.
No man can reasonably complain if
his property is assessed on the same
basis as that of all his neighbors, and
no man can be blamed for kicking if
it is not. If it were not for the ex-
pense, the easiest way to get fair
and equitable assessment all around
would be to publish the tax lists. #
the list were made public the tax
dodger who had managed to slide
through at low valuation would soon
be brought to time by his neighbors.
No man would be apt to ask to have
his neighbors' assessment raised, but
he would enter an awful kick to have
his own lowered, and the board of re-
view would have little difficulty in
finding out which asse S m e t
prompted him to ask for reduction.

EVERY LITTLE BIT Helps.
Ministers to Receive 25 Cents for Max
ing Returns of Weddings to County.

Register of Deeds Torrey is notify
ing the ministers in Kenosha County
that the new law which is now in
effect will largely increase the revenue
received by them for the performance
Of marriage ceremonies. After the
first of November next the ministers
will receive fee of Is cents for each
return of marriage filed with the
register of deeds. In the past there
has been a law requiring the ministers
to make such returns but they re-
ceived no fee for the service. Certain
ministers in Milwaukee contested the
law on the ground that the state had
no right to ask the minister to make
this return without paying him for
the work. In order to get around
this protest the last Legislature passed
"a law allowing the ministers and
others performing wedding ceremonies
the small fee for recording them.

BIG LOSS BY FIRE.
Ice Houses Of the TeWes Ice Co.
of Chicago at Silver Lake
Destroyed by Fire.
LOSS ESTIMATED AT S45, 900.

The worst fire in the history of the
village of Silver Lake occurred lust
after 10 o'clock on Thursday evening
when the big ice house owned by the
Tewes Ice company of Chicago was
completely destroyed by fire, entail
ing loss various1y estimated at from
$35, 900 to $4,000. The origin of the
fire was mystery and the flames
spread so rapidly that the little band
of fire fighters was not able to make
any Roadway against them. In less
than an hour the vast structure had
been completely destroyed.
The house was one of the largest
in the county. 1t had a capacity of
$4,000 tons of ice and was erected last
fall at a cost of $4,000. The company
had been shipping ice from the house
for several months, so when the fire
came there was but 5000 tons of ice
left.
The loss is stated to be $780, on
the building and the loss from the ice
is problem. Steps were taken this
AAOA nAuS W AAONC the 1CC 10 SOulS
other house, but at the best the ice
can only be used for cooling purposes
and the company will lose at least
one-ha1f its value. The total value of
the $4,000 tons Of ice would be in the
neighborhood of SIS, 1000.
The officers of the company hurried
to Silver Lake from Chicago this
morning, and immediate preparations
were made for rebuilding the house.
In the meantime the company has ar
ranged to have all orders filled by the
Haegele Ice company, which has
large houses at Camp Lake and
Salem.
John O'Donnel1 of this city was
handling the Tewes Bros. ice, and he
was notified this morning that all
orders would be filled for the present
by the Haege1e company.

WAITS IN KENOSHA
Fourteen Little Girls From Sums
of Milwaukee Come to Keno
sha for an Outing.
TO EXTEND CHARITY WORK

Fourteen little girls picked from the
slums of the city of Milwaukee, came
to Kenosha Friday afternoon for a
two weeks outing at Kemper Hall.
This party is the first of a series of
parties to be brought to the city by
the members of "The Fresh Air Ten''
Milwaukee society having for it's
sole aim the furnishing of outings
for the children of that city. The
little girls range in age from seven to
to the city by Mrs. L. w. Neiman and
Mrs. Clare Smith we'll known workers
of the Milwaukee society. Some time
ago the funds of the Milwaukee
society became exhausted and it was
announced early in the season that it
would be necessary to abandon the
trips for the children this season.
This fact came to the notice of
Mother Superior Margaret Clare of
the Sisters of St. Mary, and at once
she notified the officials of the society
in Milwaukee that she would be
pleased to have the children sent to
Kemper Hall. With this offer in sight
the North Western Railway company
offered to furnish free transporta-
ton, and with the small sun, of money
raised in Milwaukee the first consign-
ment of children has been sent to Ke-
nosha.
More than two hundred children in
Milwaukee are anxious to be allowed
to take the trip to this city, but in
order to care for them quite sum OF
money must be raised.
On account Of the heavy demands
made upon the people of this city by
the coming of the children to ST.
Mary's Summer Home, the members
of the Milwaukee society will not ask
the Menosha people to support the
Milwaukee children during their
stay here, but will seek to raise funds
for that purpose in Milwaukee.
