Ada Ellis "Children S Party
given at the Congregational church
parlors last Thursday was a winner in
its appeal to the good nature and fun
loving propensities of the large gather
ing that. was on hand to watch and
enjoy the good time of the little (g)
folks. Some forty invitations were
issued and thirty-fve accepted. It is
utterly impossible to do justice to the
different individuals makeup; each
ore had something about it that called
out peals Of laughter and applause of
commentator. Ada Ellis, the hostess,
was the typical child Of ten or a dozen
years Of age. Dinah, and Topsy who
wasn't "bohn," but "just growedo
caused considerable CONSERVATION when
they appeared upon the scene, but caus-
ed great deal Of merriment during
the party's continuance. The birth
day table with it's adornments, birth
day cake and lighted candles was
pretty sight, and was a center Of in
terest to the youngsters who made up
the jolly company. At the close of
the party, ice cream and cake were
served to everybody in the audience
and was thoroughly enjoyed. The
evening was one Of harmless fun, and
of renewal Of childhood's pleasures.

The first food of the day.

Every man, woman and child begins
the day with more or less vigor of mind
and strength of body according to the
first food supplied to the stomach. The
best first dish of the day is bowl of
Quaker Oats. The stomach can assimi-
late it more quickly and with less effort
than other foods. There is little or no
waste and every ounce of food is con-
verted into muscle, vigor and brain
activity. The strongest people in the
world are the regular eaters of Quaker
Oats. You should eat it for breakfast
every day.
The regular size package of Quaker
Oats sells for 10c, the large family size
package comes at 25c and 30c.

county in the building of this class of
roads. The state engineers seem to
be willing to give their time to this
county and In addition to this the
state will ship to Kenosha the most
approved road making machinery so
that the cost of building roads will be
reduced to the lowest possible amount.
Members of the County Board of Ke-
nosha and Racine counties who look
ed over the Rowland avenue road last
fall seemed to be favorablv inclined
to the building of this class of roads,
but the missionary work still remains
to be done.
At the next meeting of the County
Board. the matter is to be brought up
and by that time it is expected that
the state legislature will have passed
one of the many bills now pending
which have for their purpose state aid
in the building of highways. In sew
eral of the towns the Town Boards
are favorable to better roads, but they
are anxious to have the cost of the
roads more evenly distributed and to
have the state pay at least a small
portion of the cost of making the inn
provements. 1t is expected that the
work on the Geneva road will be start
ed early in June and that the road will
be completed long before the coming
of winter weather.

OPPOSE AUSTIN BILL
Opponents of the Liquor Traffic
Claim Bill Is Simply To Do
Away With Present Laws
BOARD HAS MUCH POWER

"The so-called Austin bill for Com
mission to revoke liquor licenses is an
attempt to nullify some Of the best
laws that have been put on our statute
books through years of labor said
John F. Baker, attorney for the anti
saloon league in a hearing before the
committee on claims on the bill. The
bill was recommended for passage by
the state affairs committee on a vote
of three to four and was sent to the
committee on claims. Although the
claims committee took no vote on the
subject it is understood that it will be
recommended for death by a vote of
three to- two.
Mr.. Baker told the committee that
the present laws relating to the liquor
traffic had been largely tested in the
courts and it would be folly now to
start or all entirely different policy.
He pointed out that although the Com
mission provided for in the bill is sup
posed to be self sustaining, that in
reality the cost of the system was
borne largely by the poorer classes.
G.. G. MCGEE of Milwaukee, made an
eloquent talk urging that the bill be
passed He thought it could not be
considered movement to block county
option, but an effort to eradicate the
lower classes of saloons.
An active campaign is being carried
on by both interests. Some of the
assembly claim that Board of FIVE
members, appointed by the governor,
but unconfrmed by the senate, would
assist in building up a political ma
chine. The terms of Office Of the men
of ten years, as long as the Supreme
Court judge is elected for, is consid-
erred another target of attack. The
Board has full power to investigate
all complaints and decide, whether the
license should be revoked. The bill
says licenses "may' be revoked for
gambling, conducting disorderly
house, selling to minors, permitting
young girls under eighteen years of
age to attend saloons or for failure
to obey city ordinances.
How great power is vested in this
Board is indicated from the fact that
according to recent bulletin from
the labor bureau there are 113 cities
and 1873 villages in the state granting
licenses to sell liquor. Five hundred
towns grant a like privilege This re
port shows 1882 licenses to sell LIQUOR
in the state of which $3.50 are in force
in cities, and villages and 2,443 in
towns Of all licenses reported 1929
or IS per cent, are at the minimum law
full rate of 800 or 5000 per annum, ac-
cording to conditions. The average
population per license for the state as
a whole, based on the 1900 census, is
236 persons.

Town OF Pleasant Prairie TO Con.
tinue Experiments Under
State Supervision
HOPE TO INTEREST COUNTY
State Engineers Will Aid in the I'M
provement of the Geneva Road
With a View of Pointing Les
son to Other Towns

The town of Pleasant Prairie, which
was the pioneer in the building of
stone and macadam roads in this
county, is not to give up this work as
has been supposed by many people of
the town and arrangements are now
being completed for the building of an
other mile of macadam road in the
town under the direction of the State
Highway Commission. This road is
just west Of the limits of the city on
Salem avenue and it will take care of
bad piece of road The Town
Board is now in communication with
the state department and notwithstand-
ing the fact that the state had engi-
neers here last year supervising the
building Of the road on Rowland
avenue extended, they will come back
again this summer and make another
effort to interest Kenosha people in
the building Of this class of roads.
The road to be built this year is one
of the roads largely used by people
from all parts Of the country and
hundreds of people come to the city
every day over this road. It is one
of the direct outlets to the western
part of the county and the members
of the Town Board believe that the
improvement Of this road with maca-
dam and crushed stone will serve as a
powerful object lesson to the towns in
the western part of the county. The
improvement of the road will start
from the city limits and it will con
tinued west as far as O'Neil's cor
ners. The road will be improved for
it's full width and it will undoubtedly
prove a popular road for the owners
of automobiles as well as for the farm
ers in that part of the county.
The state department is flooding Ke-
nosha county with literature on this
subject of good road building and a
determined effort is to be made this
year to interest other towns of the

Kenosha Elks Planning to Make Good
Showing at the State Convention

Members of the Kenosha Lodge of
Elks are now completing arrangements
to go to Portage on June 1st to at
tend the annual state convention Of

to preside at the opening sessions of

The reports that two men have
been endeavoring to entlce children to
the outskirts of the city may be due
in a large measure to a too close per-
usal of the kidnapping stories which
have filed the papers of late, but if
there is any foundation for these re-
ports the men implicated are playing
a dangerous game. The people are in
no mood to submit to any moro of
these outrages and punishment will be
swift and sure for any one concerned
in them.

TencIIera' Wages,

The weary and careworn school teach
er has been enjoying few weeks OF
much needed rest after term of eight
or nine months of tiresome mental and
physical labor. Many persons who
have had no experience in the teaching
line seem to think that any common
school teacher whose wages are from
S25 to $40 per month ought to make an
independent foi tune in a short time.
Let such Il one stop and consider what
is expected of a teacher. In the first
place she is expected to be well dressed
at all times, which is no small item Of
expense. She is expected TO buy all
the latest books, and subscribe for all
the popular educational journals Of the
day; attend teachers meetings when
ever and wherever held. ard to spend
from three to five weeks at an insti-
tute during her short vacation. All
these requirements are attended by no
small expense, and the teachers who
comply with them will find at the close
of the year that they have a very small
portion of their earnings to lay
up for rainy day.
