Gold Weather Comes With a
Blight foFt the Growing Corn
and Other Crops in County
FLOWERS KILLED BY FROST

Kenosha city and county had the
first real frost Of the autumna1 season
this morning and as a result of the
cold weather gloomy crop reports are
being broughtgin by farmers from the
lowlandss of the county. The frost
this morning was one of the heaviest
ever known in this section at this
time of the year. The roofs and side
walks were white with the frost and
It is claimed that in some exposed
places light coating of ice was to be
found. The temperature got down as
low as thirty-eight above zero during
the night but it had warmed up con-
siderably by eight O'Clock this morn
ing.
Farmers who came in from outin
the county report that considerable
damage was done to the corn which
IS just making and some of them de-
clared that the frost had ruined the
prospect of corn crop in the county
this year. "There will not be DIT of
corn to husk," said one of the we'll
known farmers of Somers, land 1 am
going to start cutting up the corn to-
day. There will be a big crop of
fodder and UP to yesterday the out-
look for fair crop of corn was good
but the frost will make it impossible
for the corn to mature. In order to
get any corn at all we needed two
weeks of hot weather before a frost
and can't see but that the frost of
this morning which was very heavy ia
some PLACES has put an end to the
prospect for the corn crop"
Market gardeners about the city
had their beds covered last night and
some of them were saved in this way
but tomato vines were pretty black
after the sun got up this morning and
it is feared that all of the tomatoes
will be killed. The tomato crop is
just being harvested and the frost
will undoubtedly result in a large
portion of it being lost.
The weather man holds out nothing
but cold weather for the next few
days and Hicks, who has been hitting
the weather pretty good this year, de-
clares that a killing frost will arrive
on Friday night.

County Clerk Finally Gels Re.
ports.Ffom the Assessors Of
III. the County
CITY SHOWS LARGEST BOOST
Town of Randall Again Hits the High
Spots, While Other Towns Have
Little Change From Last
YEARS Valuation

County Clerk Russell FL. Jones is
forwarding to Madison this after
noon his. annual report of the valua-
tiop, Of the, property in the county for
purposes; of taxation and the report
shows that the valuation of property
in the entire county has small in
crease over the former year. The
total assessed value Of all property in
the county for this year is $28, 367, 238
while last year the amount was $780,
$50, 585. The increase is 81, 8O7, o53 and
Of this amount of increase 81, 58o, POP is
in the assessment of property within
the city of Kenosha. AS in other
years the city shows much larger
proportionate Increase than all the
towns in the county put together.
There are some strange conditions in
connection with the report and It is
probable that the supervisor Of as
sessments will be called upon TO make
some of the assessments more
equitable. AS was the case last year.
the town Of Randall has touched the
high lights in the assessment and
while It's one of the smallest. towns
in the county the assessment is the
fourth largest returned by any Of the
towns and it shows an increase IN
valuation over last year Of more than
$500, 900. IN
The supervisor has already started
an investigation in this town. It is
claimed that with this valuation
Randallis up pretty close to full value
of'all property. On the other hand
the town of Paris has been properly
looked after and it shows a decrease
in valuation Of more shan $4,000 #
It is just possible that the great
falling off III values in Paris will have
to be explained before the tax levy is
made. Pleasant Prairie shows an in
crease of $4,000 in round mum bers and
Salem has an increase of nearly a
hundred thousand dollars. Brighton.
has an increase of $4,000 and Wheat.
land is increased to the amount Of
ST., 900. Somers is reduced an even
hundred thousand dollars and this is
another town where the supervisor Of
assessment will make AN investiga-
ton. The assessment for Bristol is
pretty close to the same as last year
as the, reduction is but four thousand
dollars. afsa4a saa 8 4pr

WILL RAISE A FUND.

Local FriendsEof LaiFolIette TO
Raise $500 TO Aid His J.
II Presidential Champaign e !.
THINK MONEY WILL COME EASY

4 &
The friends of Senator Robert M.
LatFol1ette in Kenosha county will
Join with the La Toilette men in other
parts of the state in raising great
fund to boom the senior senator of
the state as candidate for the re-
publican nomination for president
and quiet work is being done by the
members of the Kenosha La Toilette
Presidential Club to get the fund to-
gether. Each county in the state is
expected to raise the sum of $500 and
the leaders of the La Toilette organ
easy matter to get the money from
this county. No large contributions
will be asked but each of the faithful
will be expected to give his mite to
the fund and in this way it is ex-
pected that the amount for this coun-
ty may exceed the $500 asked for.
The organization of the La Toilette
men in the county has been COM
pleted, bnt Robert Verne Baker, the
president of the club, has been so busy
with his duties as district attorney
that he has found little time to give
to the advancement of the cause of
the Senator. No clubs have as yet
been organized in the towns in the
outlying part of the county, but the
members of the Kenosha orga nization
have done considerable quiet work
among the men in the farming COM
munities and it is claimed that con-
siderable sentiment in favor of the
Senator has been fostered. AS the
primaries for the selection of dele
gates to the National Convention will
not be held until next spring, there
will be plenty of time for the organi-
cation of the clubs. If.there is any
opposition to Senator La Toilette
having the support Of the Wisconsin
delegation to the convention it has
not as yet been made manifest, and it
is certain that tneresis no organized
effort to control any of the primaries
against the Senator. The clubs in
support of the Senator have been or.
ganized in about. one-third of the
counties in the state.
