WHAT Kenosha needs and what we
must have just as soon as they can be
built is one or two hundred small
houses renting from eight to ten dol
lars month. There is ractical1y no
property Of this class in the market
now and if v e expect people to locate
here we must have some place for
them to live. This shortage in small
houses has practically existed for two
years now and the fact that he could
find no place to put his family has
kept many desirable citizen from
locating in Kenosha. The capitalist
who puts his money into this kind of
property is not only sure Of big re-
turns on his investment, but he is in a
way public benefactor as well.

HAS GOOD INVENTION
Orlando Richards, Of Bristol, Has
Valuable Patent on Automo-
bile Shaft Coupling
SEEK LOCAL. Frs

OrlandossRichards, Of the town Of
Bristol, was in Kenosha today confer
ring with we'll known men of the city
in regard to an invention which he
has patented and which is claimed to
be of greatestlsva1ue to the world of
machinery. The patent iso an auto
mobile shaft acoupler and a regular
patent has been issued to Mr.. Rich
ards byl the United States patent
office. The .scoupler.which is COM
paratively simple piece of machinery
it is alleged will be Of the greatest
value not only to the manufacturers
of automobiles but to all people using
machinery as it will make possible
the operation of a shaft at any angle.
Mr.. Richards claims much for his
patent. He describes it as follows:
''My invention. relates to gearing
automobiles and analogous vehicles
in which the tracytion wheels are
positively driven by a power operated
shaft, and has for its objects to pro-
duce device of this character of COM
which the wheels supporting the axle
and drive sshafts are provided with
coincident pivoted or flexible sections
adjacent to their outer ends, whereby
the wheels may be readily turned to
facilitate sgIiding the machine in
rounding abrupt or sharp curves"
The invention has been presented
to the Thomas B. HJeffery company
several times, but it has not as yet
been given a practical test on an
automobile. 1t is now been used in
the town of Bristol for turning feed
cutters and the value of the invention
has been proven.
Mr.. Richardsswill make another eff
fort to have the local auto making COM
pany take up thesinvention and if this
fails he will appeal to other people in
this line Of manufacturing

GREATCHARITY BALL
Large Crowd Attends the Annual
Function Given by the EIks
at Germania Hall
A REVEL OF LIGHT AND COLOR

The annual charity ball given under
the auspices of the Kenosha lodge of
Elks took place on Thursday evening
at Germania hall, and the party
proved to be the most successful of
the long list of successful functions
given by the Kenosha herd of E1ks.
More than three hundred guests were
in attendance, many coming from
other cities to add to the pleasure of
the evening and to add their gift to
the charity fund of the lodge.
Germania hall never looked prettier
than it did last night. The great hall
was reve1 of light and color. The
Kenosha Gas and Electric company
had donated the services of number
of men to aid in decorating the hall,
and hundreds of electric lights had
been placed in great festoons about
the room.
The walls were covered with the
flags of all nations, while from the big
chandeliers in the center of the room
great festoons of purple and white
were extended to every corner of the
great hall. Over the stage used by
the musicians the word Charity
was blazed out by a hundred little
lights.
Dancing began early in the evening,
the Stemm Brothers. orchestra fur
nishing the music. Supper was
served from II to l O'Clock in the dim
ing room, the tables being decorated
in green and pink. The supper room
presented very charming appear
ance. The supper was served by
Eichelman and Hale. After supper
dancing continued until early morn
ing.
Kenosha society was well repre-
sented at the dance and from ali
standpoints it was the most success
full function ever given by the E1ks.
The committee in charge of the dance
are entitled to great praise for its
success.

The letter sent to the school board
by P. B. Bogart, of Milwaukee, presi.
dent of the American Foundry and
Furnace Co., protesting against the
charges made by the Gas and E1ec-
tr.c Co. for operating the fan used in
connection with the heating plant at
the Central building, which was put
in by Mr. Bogart's company, opens
up an interesting field of investiga-
tion for the members of the board.
When the plant was put in Mr.. Bogart
estimated that the fan could be run
for much less money than the board
is paying. He says the bill for 1914. 88
for December rendered by the Gas
Co. is simply ridiculously outrage
Gus" and states that the same size
fan is run in other cities for from six
to seven dollars a month. The Gas
Co. stands pat and claims that it has
charged only for the power needed to
run Mr.. Bogart's fan at the regular
rates. There is something wong
somewhere. Either Mr.. Bogart's fan
is not working properly or the Gas Co.
is overcharging and it is up to the
board to find out which. Mr.. Bogart
should be invited to come to Kenosha
and make good his assertions before
representative of the Gas Co., the
board acting as umpire. Give every
body fair show and let the city reap
the benefits of the controversy.
Surely if the bills are outrageous as
Mr.. Bogart says, and he ought to
know as he put in the system and
should know what it costs to operate
it, the board cannot go on paying
overcharges indefinitely. The board
need not become involved in any tech
nical discussion Of the merits or de-
merits of any particular cheating sys-
tenn either This matter is right
down to the operation of single fan
and nothing else need be considered,
but as it involves a saving of good
many dollars every year to the city it
is well worth looking after.

A Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or starved
liver. 1t would be a stupid as well as
savage thing to beat weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
a great mistake to lash 1t with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
Indication of an ill-nouFished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of silver
trouble by it's wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. It re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonouS accumulations, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection of other organs.

FOR BETTER ROADS
State May Experiment on Roads in
Kenosha County

State May Experiment on Roads in
Kenosha County
Assemblymen Bell, of Racine, and
Thomas, of Caledonia, are said to
favor bill prepared by Senator
Brown, of Waupaca, chairman of the
committee on roads and bridges, pro-
viding for the expenditure Of $25, 200
in experimental road building.
Just where the roads are to be built
is to be decided by the geological sur
vey, though it has been intimated
that large portion of the appropria-
ton may be expended on roads in the
southern part of the state between
Kenosha and Milwaukee. It is also
intimated that a part of the appro-
priation might be used in Waupaca
county on roads leading to the Wis
consin Veterans home.
Senator Browns bill is believed to
be one of the important measures of
the session, and it is said that it will
have not only the support Of the
farmers and people of rural sections,
but also of city people, merchants
who swant the farmers to come to
town to trade, and the automobile
owners who want good roads on which
to run their machines.

FARMERS along the rural free de-
livery routes complained of in the
letter recently sent to the postmaster
by the assistant postmaster general
will do we'll to take heed to his warn
ing and see to it that the roads are
put in condition to pass the depart
ment inspectors at the earliest
possible moment if they want the
service continued. Nothing can be
done now but any delay after it is
possible to begin work on the roads in
the spring will be dangerous as an
inspection is apt to be ordered at any
time. The department has laid down
the hard and fast rule that the roads
traversed by the carriers must be
maintained in proper condition or the
service will be withdrawn and that
this is no idle threat is shown by the
fact that five rural routes In Michi-
gan have been withdrawn because of
the bad roads. If the routes in this
county are once withdrawn it will be
a hard matter to get them put on
again but if the department is forced
to take such extreme measures no one
will be to blame but the patrons Of
the routes themselves. They have had
fair warning.

Japan's Isolation.

Japan's mighty war preparations DO
not necessarily indicate an early
breach Of the peace. Things have
changed since the close Of the Russo
Japanese war, which found England
and the mikado's empire united for de-
Tense. France has cemented her friend
ship for Russia, and England and
France stand Oh cordial footing
Spain and Italy are included in great
coalition, which leaves only Germany
and Japan entirely alone. The Anglo
Japanese alliance was welcome to Eng
land as foil to Russian aggression on
the borders of India. Now that Rus
STA and England are friends, the pros
pect of trouble over India fades every
day, and Japan's prestige as the ally
Of England wanes with it.
The important article in the treaty
concluded between Japan and England
in 1905 is as follows:
Article 2.-should either of the high
contracting parties be involved in war
in defense of it's territorial rights or
special interests the other party will at
once come to the assistance of it's ally,
and both parties will conduct a war in
common and make peace in mutual agree
ment with any power or powers involved
in such war
At present Japan is In no danger of
being put upon the defensive. IF war
comes to her it will be of her own seek
ing. Naturally she will not pick a
quarrel with a power friendly to Eng
land, in which class the United States
must be counted. China is immune,
being under the protection of the pow
ers. Germany alone remains. Cause
for national enmity between Japan and
Germany there seems to be none. Nei-
ther is there basis for a German and
japanese alliance in sight

MAY GET MORE PAY
Congress May Pass Law IncreasingP Pay
of Mail Carriers

congress Way HaSS Law increasing ray
of Mail Carriers
A Washington dispatch says that it
now seems probab BILE that an increase
in salary will be given rural and city
letter carriers and postoffice clerks,
as the<House subcommittee has agreed
upon plan to bring this about. Ru-
raj carriers who average "a miles or
over willsbe paid $40 year instead
Of 500. The salaries of carriers who
average less than "a miles will be
graduated according to the distance
travelled. The salaries of letter car
riers will range from 5000 to ST., 100 a
year if the committees report is
agreed to. In cities of less than IS
600 population 5000 will be the maxi
mum. In cities between $4,000 and
ISL the. maximum will be $1,000,
and 81, 100 the maximum in large cit
les. Provision is.made also for the
promotions of clerks in postofices
upon the.tbasis gof length Of service,
the salaries to range from 5000 to
ST.. 200 per annum.
The above in creases are only step
in the right direction. There is no
real reasongwhy thessalary of a letter
carrier in a city of less than $4,000
should be less than the salary of a
carrier in city of Ioverl25, 900. Each
have their eightshours day to work,
and thes work done by the former is
equallySslaborious with that done by
the latter, and frequently more so, for
the larger the city the less load the
carrier is obliged to carry. This any
one cansseesfor themselves by taking
note of the carriers they may pass ia
any larges city. The salaries should
be equal, sand the minimum can very
justly be placed at $1,000, with a maxi
mum of $1,000 or 81, 400, according to
increased costsof living in the largest
cities.
