BIG RAMBLER SALES RECORD
Increase in Business of Thomas B. JEFF
ferry & CO. Indicates Biggest Year

II sales Of automobiles can be said
to indicate the trend of business con
ditions, the record Of Thomas B. JEFF
ferry & Company in selling Rambler
cars during the past six months is
significant.
It was prophesied one year ago by
the Rambler makers that the year of
1908 would be the greatest in the his
tory Of their business That this prop
hecy was right is shown by the fact
that during July, 1908, the sales were
65 per cent. larger than in July, 1907;
in August they were IT'S per cent.
greater; in November the increase
was $40 per cent. over the same month
of the preceding year, while in the first
five days of December the entire sales,
record for the month of December,
1907, was surpassed.
It will be this company's policy dur
ing the coming year not to-~build any
more cars than heretofore, but to build
better cars. In fact, the factory is
now being enlarged to furnish the
needed space, although a large addition
has been made to this factory every
year since the production of the Ram
bier was begun, nearly nine years ago.
This large increase in the business
.of Thomas B. Jeffrey & Company is
significant because it indicates that
the cars have been thoroughly salts
factory. It means next that the bust
ness policy of the company is right,
that Rambler prices are reasonable, and
that the customers have been fairly
dealt with.

With Assault Released on Bonds

Alexander Likuski and his son Frank
Likuski, who were arrested on Monday
on a charge of assaulting John Koniecz-
ko with intent to do great bodily harm,
were taken before Justice McCarron
late Monday afternoon and the hear
ing of the case continued until Thurs
day. The injured man was unable to
leave the hospital, but Dr. J. B. Spald-
ing who is attending him believes that

time. Justice McCarron placed the
bonds Of the two men at a hundred dol
lars and both furnished bonds It is
declared by the police that Konieczko
is willing to settle the matter out Of
court and it is possible that the two
men when next brought into court will
be charged with assault and battery
and released with a fine.

While state aid for road building is
a new thing in Wisconsin a number Of
the eastern states have had these laws
in force for some time and with their
laws as a model it should not be a very
difficult matter for the legislature to
frame a satisfactory law for this state.
The governor in his message pointed
out the danger that the new law might
open the way to extravagant and I'M
warranted expenditures in highway"
improvement, but any law would have
to be very loosely drawn to waste
more money than has been thrown
away every year by the counties under
the old system of road building.

We hope that the unfortunate expert
ences of the architects who entered the
competition for the plans for that
new school building with the Board
of Education will not deter them and
others from submitting plans for the
new Jail 1t must be admitted that
the outside architects who entered
plans for the new school have good
cause to complain that they were not
fairly treated, but there is every reason
to believe that every architect will be
given fair show in the selection of
the plans for the new jail The build
ing committee of the County Board has
net yet asked for plans, but when it
does al architects can rest assured that
it will welcome competition and that
every plan submitted will be given
careful consideration.

The Council started in to economic
Monday evening by closing up the
mayors Office, dispensing with the
services of his private secretary and
the clerk of the health officer, all of
which amounts to saving of $75 a
month. Of course this is not great
deal, but it will help just that much.
Like many other plans that promise well
in the beginning the plan of having a
down town office for the mayor failed to
amount to anything. Owing to the
failure of the mayor to keep any regu-
lar office hours the citizens generally
got no benefit from the office and a
majority of the Council evidently be-
lieved that it should no longer be main
tanned at their expense.

Mr.. Knapp's subject is GLOW to

who are connected in any way with the

AS common, ordinary business pre-
caution the Council would do we'll to
see that all claims pending against con-
tractors who have been working for the
city are settled before their bills are
allowed. Our own people are entitled
to that much protection from their
representatives in the Council and any
contractor being only human is much
more easy to deal with when he has a
claim to collect than he is after he has
been paid in full.

CURTISS FINALLY LANDS
Assemblyman Gets appointment to
Joint Committee on Claims


Kenosha county is not going to play
any great part in the present session
of the legislature as Speaker Bancroft
in making up his list Of committees
did not see fit to place Walker M. Cur
tiss Of this county on any of the i'm
portant committees. Notwithstanding
the fact that Curtiss had long and
honorable record in the assembly, the
new speaker gave him just one commit
tee assignment and that was on the
joint committee on claims. The Keno
sha assemblyman is named as second
man on this committee.
In other sessions ne served ac-
ceptably as member Of important
committees and it is hard for the local
politicians to see how Speaker Ban
croft overlooked him this year.

The government could readily control
the matter of fraudulent selling of but
terine for butter by requiring the print
ing of the word Butterine" in large
letters on the parafine paper in which
the bricks of the product are packed
BY prohibiting sale in any other way
on pain. Of heavy fine, the manufacture
ers and dealers could be permitted to
engage in the sale Of the butter sub
stitute, and thus relieve the poor peo-
pie who cannot pay approximately
forty cents a pound for genuine butter.

Kenosha never escapes it's share of
all trouble that is being handed out
and it has suffered as much as any
of the north shore cities from the de-
predations of burglars. Something will
have to be done pretty soon to put a
stop to the thefts and perhaps reward
for the conviction Of the thieves might
bring results.

too strong for congress to stomach must
have been pretty bad, but the members
may be waking up to the fact that the

to make him stronger. The country is
getting very sick of the continual
