Editor Brandon News: I was very
much interested in Mr.. B. L. Moss
article of last weeks issue, and hope
our supervisors will give him
their hearty cooperation, for I do not
believe anything will arouse our farm
ers from their lethargy and put them
to making more effort to better
system of farming than demonstra-
tive farm in every community See
ing is believing and if every farmer
in every neighborhood could visit a
well-conducted farm under the latest
improved methods, and also see it
remunerative, it would do more good
than all the lectures that have been
and will be made for the next ten
years.
l had talk with Mr.. Moss and
found him. as thought, very prac-
teal man, and one who understood
his business. There are great
many men who have theories that
that could not be put into successful
practice, especially in our suothern
country, but I do not think that he
belongs to that class. In view of the
labor problem that now confronts our
farmers as we'll as the certain ap.
pearance of the boil weevil this com.
ing season, it behooves our farmers
| to begin to divorce themselves from
their olbd methods, not only in the
! planting, Of food crops of all kinds
that suits this climate, but the use
of better farming implements and q
more thorough preparation of their
lands before planting. These are
some of the things they will learr
from a demonstration farm in every
community.
/ And again, the managers of these
farms will plant only the best i'm
proved seed and those best suited
| to this particular section as dem
/ onstrated by actual experiment.
Contrary to the general opinion
/ these are not experimental farms
they have passed the experimental
i stage and the general manager viii
have put into practice what has beer
demonstrated already
| I notice in closing his articleM Mr.
Moss says: 'sThis work will be inau
gurated in this county on the inten
sive plan this year if you desire. Ii
order that an expression of theil
ideas in regard to the matter ma,
be had, a mass meeting will be hello
in the court house at Brandon OF
Monday morning, February 1st, a
II o'clock. Every citizen of the
i county, whether fle be farmer Of
not, is invited to be present.
Now, think this is very import
ant and I trust there will be q
large gathering of the people, espe
cially the farmers, and hear Mr.
Moss explain the plans and methods
! There are other reasons why there
should be a large body Of represen.
tative citizens of cur county and that
is the board of supervisors could
consult with them before taking ac-
ton. It must be remembered that
i it is delicate question for the
board to act upon without first hav-
ing a hearing from the Taxpayers.
1t is my earnest desire that there
will be large gathering of the peo-
pie and will give the board sufficient
encouragement to take action in the
matter.

POULTRY PRICES SOARING
Supply Seems Inadequate to Demand
Butter Also at Top Notch

Almost unprecedented is the contin-
ued rise in the poultry market. Deal
ers thought that after the holiday the
poultry market would be weaker, and
are greatly surprised that it continues
strong with rising prices, an unheard
of thing at this time of the year.
Butchers generally held off at Thanks
giving, buying only what was needed
at that time, owing to the high prices
and expected drop.
But between then and Christmas the
receipts in the market continued to fall
off, showing that the farmers had not
many fowls to ship, and the prices
continued to rise
With fine dairy butter at 80 cents a
pound, dealers say that the article is
out of the reach of many consumers,
and the product will probably drop 2
or cents pound in the near future.
The market yesterday showed a de-
crease in receipts Of butter to the
amount Of 5000 pounds and an advance.

1t is to be hoped that the city will
take fresh start with the new owners
of the street railway line and that
there will be none of those annoying
delays in carrying out contracts and
franchise obligations between the city
and the company that have been so
marked in previous dealings between
the two. 1t has not been anybodys
fault exactly, but it cannot be denied
that the city has been easier in it's
dealings with Mr.. Frost than it should
be with the new owners. Great sym
pathy has been felt with him in his
financial troubles and there has been
a very general disposition to make
things as easy for him here as posi-
bic and the city mas granted favors in
the way of extensions Of time limits
on contracts that no one else need ex-
pect and that would not have been
given Mr.. Frost had he been in bet
ter shape financially 1t is not prob
able, however, that there need be any
worry over the course of the new own
ers of the line. They appear to be in
a position to carry out all obligations
to the letter and within a reasonable

Annual Report of CLERK of Circuit
Court Shows Many Cases
Disposed Of Last Year
GOOD YEAR FOR CONVICTIONS
Large Majority Of Defendants Arraig-
ned in the Circuit Court Were
Convicted or Pleaded
Guilty to Charges

! Clerk of the Oircuit Court Frank
aldo has forwarded to the secretary
Of state his annual report of statistics
Of crime in Kenosha county as shown
| by the records of the Circuit Court
and while there have been no cases of
great interest in the court during the
year just closed the report shows that
it has been a busy year for the judge
and the officials of the court At the
opening of the present year there were
but four criminal cases pending in the
Circuit Court, but during the year
there was total of forty eight cases
started in the Circuit Court. Forty
three of these cases were for felonies
and nine we're where charges less than
a felony were made. There were seven
convictions by jury trial, the most i'm
portant conviction by jury being that
of Mike griffin who was charged with
burning the Four Corners and who was
sent to the state prison for term of
seven years. Other interesting CON
vietions by the jury were Charles Gil
lotti and his Italian companions who
were charged with robbery Of the sec
ton foreman at Berryville. Fifteen
of the cases resulted in pleas of
Guilty" Of these pleas the most
interesting was that Of Henry Bush
man who was arrested on charge Of
criminal assault and who was sent to
the state prison for term of 80
years. The total number of convic-
tions during the year was % and as
there are now Is criminal cases pend
ing it is evident that the year has been
a very successful one for the district
attorney. Four defendants were freed
by juries during the year These in
Guided the two trials of Martin Schley-
er who was charged with shooting with
intent to murder his wife and Herman
Koehler Only one case was nolled by
the court and i'll ten actions a nolle
prosequi was entered by the district
attorney. There were no cases tried
this year in which new trial was
granted to the defendant after convic-
tion.
The report of the clerk showing as
it does that there are fifteen cases
pending at the end Of the year is a
powerful argument in favor Of the
establishment o. a municipal court in
Kenosha. Many of these criminal ac-
tions might have been tried in MUM
cipal Court and this would have per-
mitted the time of the Circuit Court
to be given to important civil actions
which have been laid over on account
Of the great number Of criminal cases.
The large number Of cases pending at
this time indicates that the coming
year will be a. decidedly busy one for
the Criminal Court The number Of
criminal cases last year was the larg
est in the history of the Circuit Court
for Kenosha county and this number
vii undoubtedly be largely increased
with the coming year.

1t appears from reports submitted to
the Council that one department of
the city has spent in the last eight
months more than twice the amount
OF its appropriation and nothing could
show the defects of the system under
which the city now does business more
plainly than that What check is
there on expenditures when any de-
partment can overdraw it's account to
practically an unlimited amount at any
time and no department is required to
keep within the estimates of it's neces-
sary expenditures made by the finance
committee in the annual apportionment
Of the taxes9 1t should be a very ex-
traordinary thing for any department
to run behind the amount set aside cor
its expenses instead Of which it is t
regular and customary proceeding.
These lax methods can lead to but one
thing and that is an enormous increase
in the taxes and it does not require
any vast amount Of business acumen
to forsee that an increase in the levy
is coming. Under the present system
all the money raised might just as
well be put in one general fund and
every department permitted to grab
at it. First come first served. The
only difference would be that it would
not be quite 50 easy to figure up what
each department spent.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1909-01-07


The taxes are beginning to come in
and it will not be long before there
will be a balance to the credit Of the
city in the bank, but that does not
signify that there is actually any
money available. The disposition of
every dollar under the present levy is
already provided for and it will require
the exercise of the greatest economy
in all departments to get through the
next year without incurring large in
debtedness. There is no money to
spend on any side issues and there will
be hardly enough to meet the actual
running expenses of the various de-
partments figured on the most economi
cal basis.

The dispatches from Madison indi-
cate that good share of the time of

look for the transaction of a. little

plea that the "members have to stay

Congress has heard further from

It is not probable that the City
Council would appropriate any money
for repairs to the jail even if there was
plenty of money in the treasury. The
city pays about two-thirds of any tax
levied by the county for that purpose

opinion that the share of the city is
not more than that.
