TO URGE HARBOR WORK
Congressman Davidson, of Oshkosh,
Working for Wisconsin Harbor


The Wisconsin delegation is busy
preparing the estimates for the fea-
lures in the river and harbor bill to
provide for Wisconsin interests. Re-
preventative Davidson, of Oshkosh, a
member of the committee on rivers
and harbors, is looking after the de-
tails. Representative Stafford, of
Milwaukee, introduced a separate bill
today providing for an appropriation
of $125, 600 for the extension of the
southern artn of the breakwater in
the harbor Of refuge of Milwaukee.
Mr.. Davidson secured the passage in
committee today of resolution
framed by him for obtaining esti-
mates from the board of engineers
especially appointed to look into the
question of necessary Improvements
to protect the harbors of Ludington,
Manitowoc, Two Rivers, Racine, Ke-
nosha and Sheboygan, from the eff
fects of wave movements in the har-
bors that imperil the harbor work.
The board designated for this investi-
cation made some estimates of the
necessary material and labor, but
without detailed estimates of the cost.
The resolution passed today calls for
such statement of the cost, in order
that provision can be made for this
work in the Incoming river and
harbOr bill

Long and Short Men Attempt to
Get Busy With Old SwindIing
Game in kenosha
WOMAN COULD NOT BE FOOLED
Mrs. c. Bisno Who Had Been Picked
Out as Victim Promptly Notifies
the Police, But the Men Escaped
Other Victims Looked For

The long and short man who has
been making swindling excursions in
to kenosha for years, made run into
the city late Thursday afternoon and
sought to make a little money by
crooked dealing but so far as can be
learned, the men did not get away
with any great amount of money.
racket that was as old as the hills, but
as they worked entirely on the out
skirts of the city it is possible that
they managed to get away with some
money. Chief of Police O'Hare had a
posse Of men out last night searching
for the men but they evidently heard
that the police were on to the game
and left the city.
The discovery of the game was due
to the fact that Mrs. c. Bisno, the
wife of thee proprietor of the Enter
prise on Wisconsin street is an up-to-
date business woman. Just after six
O'Clock Thursday evening two strang-
ers entered the store and one of them
engaged the attention of one of the
salesladies looking at a lot of dolls
and children's toys while the other
walked back to the desk and talked
with Mrs. Bisno. He stood talking
for minute or SO and then casually
remarked that he would like to have
change for a ten dollar bill. Mrs.
Bisno consented to accommodate him
and counted out the money and then
the fellow got particular and began to
ask for the change in half a dozen
ways. He asked for silver, then for
paper and at last he asked forsthe ten
dollar bill back and placed he silver
on the table. Mrs. Bisno had seen
the game before and when she counted
the money that he had laid down she
found that it was three dollars short.
The fellow was profuse in his apol-
ogies but as soon as possible Mrs.
Bisno went to the telephone and mott
fed the police. The two men left the
store in great haste and when seen
they we're still going north as fast as
their legs could carry them. The
men are believed to be old offenders
and last night the local police Office
sent warning to other cities in the
neighborhood urging them to look out
for the men and if possible, stop them.
The men were seen about Kenosha
early Thursday and it is pretty certain
that they managed to work their old
game at one or more places in the
city during the day. It is thought
that the men came to Kenosha from
Milwaukee. During the business of
the holiday trade the merchants of
the city are warned by the police to
look out for visit from these short
change artists. They have recently
been driven out of the larger cities
and they are now infesting the small
er towns about Chicago and Milwau-
kee.

dence courses are adapted to meet
the needs of both teachers and par
ents. They include the principles of
teaching, the development of child
hood and youth, and the principles Of
educational psychology. DR.. w. f..
Dearborn will conduct the course in
psychology. Upon the successful
completion of this work, as in the
case Of all other correspondence
courses. the students will receive
credit which may be applied towal d
regular university degrees. A num-
Der of Kenosha people have, already
entered for these courses.
The course in problems of teaching
treats of practical questions which
are constantly arising in the expert
ence of teachers. The instruction in
cludes methods of discipline and the
principles of organization. The gen.
eral aim of education and the values
of the different studies in accomplish
ing this aim forms another important
part of the course. In addition there
will be a consideration of the psychol-
ogy of technique in teaching and a
general survey of the principles of
effective instruction. Opportunity
will be given to teachers who take
this course, Of submitting to the in
structor the practical difficulties that
arise from time to time in their work,

school room. Topics that will be con-
sidered include the development and

Methodists Plan for Whole Week

With Dedication Of Church
DR.. SHEETS WILL 0FFIClATE
Eloquent Chicago Preacher and J. S
Lean, Presiding Elder of the
District to be the Principal
Speakers Dedication Day

All arrangements have been COM

and the final touches are being placed
on the large auditorium today. The
men are busy setting up the pews and
there is no doubt but that everything
will be in readiness for the dedication.
The Building Committee and the
pastor, the Rev. w. w. Stevens, we're
considerably disappointed to hear
that it would be impossible for the
Rev. C. G. McCabe, the bishop of the
conference, to be present at the dedi-
cation, but the place has been we'll
filled by the selection of DR.. F. H.
Sheets, Of Chicago, who is widely
known as minister and a church
worker. DR.. Sheets will preach twice
on Dedication day and he will have
charge of the work of raising the
money to pay the debt of the church.
Twenty thousand dollars has been
contributed to the building und, and
during the next few days members of
the church will go out among the peo-
pie of the city and make an effort to
increase the amount. No one will be
sighted. Up to this time the Metho-
dists have made no calls on people
outside the congreg alton.
The services of the Dedication week
will be of most interesting nature.
The service will open with three
meetings on Dedication da,-, at which
it is promised that many we'll known
Methodists from all parts of Southern
Wisconsin will be present. Mrs. H. E.
Tanner will preside at the organ, and
special music will be rendered by the
church achoir. The sermons for the
day will be preached by DR.. Sheets, of

USING STARCH.

The Proper Degree of Stiffness For
Different Materials.
Starch Is used in laundry work for
stifening muslin, lace, linen and cot
ton materials. 1t improves the ap-
pearance of clothes aud also enables
them to resist the action Of dust, and
they in consequence keep clean longer
than when they are quite limp. The
degree of stiffness necessary enables
the laundress to decide as to which is
the better starch to use, hot or cold
water starch.
AS rule, 1t is better to use hot wa
ter starch for muslins, laces, prints,
table linen and cotton underwear. It
not only makes the clothes less stiff
and more agreeable to wear or use, but
1t makes them look clearer than when
cold water starch Is used Except in
the case Of muslins and print dresses
this starch is seldom used In its full
strength, but 1t Is diluted to degree
varying according to the quality Of
material TO be starched and also to the
stiffness required. Usually a thin ma
terial requires thicker starch than
one Of a thicker make.
The following may be considered
average proportions OF hot water
starch to be used for different kinds Of
material: @
Muslins, print blouses and skirts,
white or colored underskirts, babies
robes and Dutch bonnets are, as q
rule, stiffened In full strength starch.
It is better to starch only the lower
two-thirds Of underskirts, leaving the
upper part soft to cling to the fgure.
Babies dresses should always have
the bodices less stir than the skirts.
For print pinafores, aprons, muslin
handkerchiefs and common laces equal
parts Of starch and water give a very
good stiffness.
The starch for table linen and pillow
slips If diluted to one-fourth of It's
strec 9Th gives the necessary degree of
gtiffn ass.
Frnls Of pillow slips are usually
starched In thicker starch. Underwear,
unless wished specially stiff, is done
In starch reduced to about one-f1fth of
it's strength

4 Plain Truth Well said.
Carolina Spartan.

Two weeks ago promising teacher,
educated, ernest and refined, was
drowned at Charleston. He went in
bathing and was drawn cut by the
undertow. A few days later SO dier
at Wilmington, n. c., was caught in
the undertow and carried to the place
Of death. The undertow is not dis
cernible on the surface which appears
safe aud smooth. Very few of those
caught by it have power to resist.
The pull outward and downward is
too much for them. But there are a
hundred victims of the undertow on
land to one in the sea. Wasted hours,
vicious habits, ugly tempers, and self
ishness draw many people downward.
Then many man falls a victim to in
temperance, being deceived by the de-
lightful sensations of the first steps,
before be reaches the irresistible pow
er of the undertow. No one en-
ters on a life of debauchery suddenly.
Few Intentionally prostitute mind or
body to career of vice. 1t is the cap
tivating superficial appearance that
lures them on 10 irreparable ruin. Be
ware of the treacherous, deadly under
tow in social life.

Sandy Flat.

{ Senator Tillman spoke last Saturday at
Sandy Flat, ten miles west Of Greenvile city
-Four thousand persons were present, which
shows that the Senator has not lost bis hold
on the people. The newspapers report that
he failed to excite the enthusiasm OF the old
days. This is no doubt true; but 1t is also
true that the opposition to him is not as
strong as 1t was in former times. The Sena-
tor has about lived down the opposition
which formerly existed, and bis life has
proved the falsity Of charges that were for
merly 30 vigorously made.
We believe 1t is conceded that no man In
Washington has cleaner record, and that no
man who has gone to the Senate has reflected
greater honor on the State. He has few II
any equals. His private life and his public
career are without just censure.

"OId Ben Is Good Enough -

/ The whole kit of campaigners, including
the band wagon, in the low country have
been drawing hearers all the way from l25 to
800. Four thousand assembled in response 10
Senator TiIlman's call at Sandy Flat last Sat-
urdsy. The reader ia as able as we are TO
form conclusions. The numbers which as
semble to hear him show the strength Of TIL
man as compared with the strength OF the
balance Of the pack.
The beautiful effort to discredit the system
by which candidates address the people, is
shown up.
The way that some Of the daily press are
casting arrows at their candidate for the Sen
ate must impress Lumpkin with sense OF
their ingratitude for allowing himself to be-
some joke. The News and Courier, for in
stance, should have at least preserved order
when Its candidate was speaking in the city.
The calling out that "old Ben is good enough
for u.s." and "hurrsh for Tillmnn," was not
the kind Of enthusiasm that the News and
Courier should have worked up for Its man.
