There may be gloss on the old ma
hogany chest, but it is the gloss of too
much furniture polish. If the finger
is rubbed along the top of a Queen
Anne table with it's feather inlay and
it's rich coloring a smear is probably
left which is not so much a sign of
carelessness as it is of the hurry and
rush to complete work which succeed
in detracting from it's appearance.
The less polish the better where an
tiques are concerned. Old oak and
other wood always require more elbow
grease than applications. Sweet oil
sparingly applied-is.. however, excel

mel is dipped in the oil it should be
rubbed over the wood, the surface
having been first of all we'll busted.
Stains and spots on old mahogany can
be taken out by dipping cork in OK

One of the changes which has been
brought about at the Cony High
school this fall is the reorganization OF
the Delta Pi fraternity and the start
ing of the fraternity anew on an entire
l. different basis than that on which
it WAS formerly maintained. That the
new movement has met with the APP
prevail of the Board of Education is
shown by the fact that the board has
assigned a room in the school building
for the use of the fraternity, which
room has been furnished with Mission
oak furniture. At an initiation week
ago II candidates were admitted to the
fraternity. and Principal Marshall, who
was present approved of the ceremony
in every detail. The present plan is to
make the fraternity of a debating and
literary nature, and it is the intention
of the members to make it q credit to

SEEK MISSING MAN
Clarence Warburten Missing Since
Tuesday Evening

Clarence Warburton, a well known
young man of the west side, residing at
172 Newell street, has been missing
from the city since last Tuesday night
and his wife has asked the police to
make an effort to locate him. Warbur-
ton left his home Tuesday evening
early stating that he was going down
town to attend a meeting and since
that time no trace of him has been
found. The police took up the search
on Thursday evening and visited the
places that had been frequented by
Warburton. They seem to be of the
opinion that the man went to Chicago
on Tuesday evening. His actions arc
"a little unusual and the police have
asked the detective force of Chicago to
make an effort to locate him. The wife

pearance of her husband.

YACHT CLUB INCORPORATES
Kenosha Yacht Club Gets State Charter

Members of the Kenosha Yacht Club
are laying plans for the building Of a
club home in the city and the first step
in this line was taken on Wednesday

ing a club house for the use Of the
members of the club. The capital
stock Of the new association is placed
at 1880 and is divided into $50 shares
of $40 each. The incorporators are B.

ton to the city to purchase the land

Police To Be Called on To Col.
Iect Unpaid Personal Proper
ty Taxes After Next Week
MAY TAKE PROPERTY TAXED
City Treasurer to Turn List of Unpaid
Personal Taxes Over to Police
Later in the Month With
Orders to Collect All

The city of Kenosha is going to
make strenuous efforts to collect per-
sonal property taxes this year and with
in the next ten days City Treasurer
Martin Steinmetz will turn the list of
delinquent personal taxes over to the
chief of police for collection. This
action is wholly under the laws of the
state, but in the past this law has not
been enforced in Kenosha. The amount
of unpaid personal tax is larger this
year than in former years, the total
amount being a little over three humid
red dollars and every possible effort
will be made to force the payment of
it, for a large part Of the names on the
list of unpaid personal taxes are the
names Of people who have become
chronic along this line and the lists
for several years back show that they
have not paid personal taxes. In al
most every case they are non-property
holders who enjoy all the benefits of
the city without paying one cent for its
support. Under the law the chief of
police and the men in his department
will have a right to go into the homes
Of these people and seize the personal
property ON which the tax has not
been paid 1t can be carried away in
a. van and be sold the same as any
other property to pay the taxes. This
form Of collection Of the tax is not
4n ho nf ha hove
of the police force, but the city treasur-
er will do his part in the matter and
turn over the list to the department
and then it will be up to the police to
make the collection. This mode Of col
Letting tax may prove a little incon
venient and embarrassing to some OF
the Kenosha people, but it is thought
that it will prove effective. The plan
has been adopted in other cities OF
Wisconsin and Illinois and in fact it is
the regular order in Illinois. Tt has
proved great pusher for delinquents
in those cities.
A test Of the right of the city tt
collect certain assessments for public
improvements is to be made by D
Gaastra and he has informed the city
treasurer that he will carry the matter
into the courts. The city attorney has
been repeatedly forced to look into
such contests against special assess
ments and he has declared that the
city has the right to collect these as
sessments and it is not thought the
city officials will lose any sleep worry
ing over any suit along this line. Sui
has been repeatedly threatened agains
the city on the improvement covered il
the Gaastra suit, but nothing has come
out of these threats. 1t would be in
teresting to have one Of these suits
get into court.

LEM OWEN .'STUNG"
Racine Clerk of the Court Meets With
Some Real Ladies in Chicago

County officials in Kenosha are hav-
ing good laugh today at the expense
of Lem Owen, the genial clerk of the
Circuit Court for Racine county, who
is widely known in this county. Owen
and young Racine attorney, Richard
Jones, were in Chicago thursday even
ing seeing the sights and long about
one o'clock in the morning they met
up with couple Of very stylishly
dressed women whom they later found
to be frst-class grafters. The two
women are alleged to have robbed
Owen and his friend of 500. They
were arrested and taken to the Harri-
son street police station and when
they lifted the heavy wells that cover
ed their faces it was found that both
were negresses. The incident in the
life Of the Racine official is being
pointed out to the county officials of
Kenosha as an example Of what they
should not do when they visit Chicago
The Racine men were fortunate enough
to secure the return Of their money.

Police Given List of Children Who
Are Chronic Truants and law
Must Be Enforced
PARENTS TO BE HELD LIABLE
List Of Twenty Pupils Now in the
Hands of the Police and Others
Will be Turned Over Later
in the School Year

The police Of the city have started a
crusade to enforce the laws in regard
to attendance at the schools Of the city
on the part of children of the school
age and to this end lists have been
prepared by the teachers Of the various
schools in the city showing just what
children are prone to be absent from
the schools. This list contains the
names of some twenty children in the
city and many of these children have
given the truant officers trouble for
years. Some of them are shown to
have been accustomed to Splaying
hockey since they first started to
school. The list is an interesting one
and in it are a number of pathetic
stories of people who have been forced
to take the little children out Of schools
in order to make it possible for the
mother of the family to go out and
work. Other reports show that the
children are habitual truants and that
notwithstanding the fact that every
possible effort has been made to keel
the children in school, they are alb
sent most Of the time. Before these
cases were reported to the police the
parents of the children were repeatedly
informed of the fact that the children
were not in school and in some cases
they seemed to take no interest in the
matter,
The police are hard at work on this
truant list today and every parent is
being visited in order to give them {
chance to keep the children in schoo
and if they refuse to take this interes
in the children the police will see tt
it that the children are kept in schoo
regardless Of the actions of the par
ents.
The state law makes it necessary fo
the children to attend school for Ger
tain years Of their life and this Law
can be enforced. It is admitted tina
it will prove hardship to some of tn
parents, but at that it is for the benef
Of the child and the police will insis
on the obeying Of the law to the let
ter. The move has the full approya
! Of the members Of the Board of Edu
cation and the police will be backed
up in any thing they may do to enforce
the attendance at school on the par
of the children.
