In the Land of Cotton

Joseph w. Allison of Ennis. Tex, for
the Alabama Cotton Seed Crush ers' as
ISOLATION, has just issued prediction
in pithy language, as follows:
THE cotton plant has made possible
ragless and strawless paper, cocoon
less silk, creamless ice cream. cowless
butter and hogless lard. The south
already clothes the world; she is also
able to feed it, We do not propose
it. we do not want it. but II neces-
sary, we are entirely able, with plenty
for ourselves and much to spare. to
make a cornless, a wheatless and a
hogless south, and l want to go on
record with this prediction that middle
aged men and women now living, will
see the time when cotton seed flour
will take higher place on the tables of
all the world than the less nutritive
and less palatable corn and wheaton
products"

SHUNS SALOONS
-
Board Declines to Even Open
Negotiations With Saloon
Men Out of SOmers
DON'T WANT SALOONS IN TOWN

The Town of Paris has respectfully
declined to open it's gates and make
the town saloon territory. With the
departure of the saloons from the town
of Somers which took place at mid
night last night some Of the saloon
men who have been in business in Som
ers sought to secure licenses from the
Paris board but the members of the
board have gone on record as being
opposed to saloons in the town regard
less of the license offered. The town
of Paris has never voted itself into the
dry" column but it has been an I'M
written law there for the past twenty
five years that the town board decline
to license saloons and town boards have
come and gone but they have always
insisted that the saloon men keep out
of the town More than quarter of
century ago Paris had saloon but
it was unpopular and finally the mem
bers of the town board refused to
grant license to it. Paris is hemmed
in by anti-saloon territory and the sa-
loon men have intimated to the town
board that they would be willing to do
the right thing for the town if the
doors were opened to the saloons but
the members of the town board have
come out fiat against any plan for the
admission of the saloon.
Town Chairman Spartz when seen in
Kenosha Thursday afternoon, admit
ted that propositions had been made
to the Board to make Paris "Wet"
but he declared that the board would
not consider an application for a. saloon
license even if they could collect a lie
ense of $1,000 Paris has Union Grove
on one side and Somers on the other.
Somers has voted dry and Union Grove
has been made dry by action Of the
town board in refusing to grant lie
enses notwithstanding the fact that the
town voted wet at the last license ele-
elton. It is declared that some of the
Somers saloon men would consider a
plan to put in saloon along the Som
ers Paris line which would be about
mile and half from the village of
Somers.
Somers is not anticipating any trou-
BILE with saloons today and it is thought
to be pretty certain that the men who
have operated the saloons viii move
their stocks and fixtures to some other
point and wait until next year to seek
license. Somers may not become wet
until 1912 and it is impossible to sub
NIT the question to the voters until
that time

Miss Esther Kauffng Takes
First Honor at W. c. I. U.
Gold Medal Contest
milwaukee SPEAKER SECOND

Miss Esther Kaufing of Racine, won
the Gold Medal contest held under the
auspices Of the members of the Wo-
men s Christian Temperance Union of
Racine and Kenosha county at Park
Avenue M. L. church on Thursday ev-
ening. The contest was one of the
best ever held under the auspices of
the Union and it being an annual

testant for the event.
Notwithstanding the hot weather a
large crowd gathered to hear the con

large delegations to cheer their speak
ers in the contest. The judges were
Dr. Murphy, the Rev Fred Ingley and
T. w. Huff all Of Kenosha Miss Ger
trude Bennett was the only young lady
selected to represent Kenosha at the

was unable to attend the contest and
for this reason Kenosha county was
not represented. Miss Beulah Hershey
of Milwaukee was awarded the second
place, Miss Myra Byrd Jones of Ra-
cine third and Miss Ethel Meredith of
Union Grove fourth place. There were
but the four speakers at. the contest
and the ratings of the judges were 50
close that there were only a few points
between the first and fourth places.
The decision of the judges was a popu-
lar one with the audience. The young
ladies all gave temperance selections
and each was an accomplished elocu-
zionist.
In addition to the numbers on the
program furnished by the contestants
there were a number of musical mum
bers furnished by Miss Josephine DARN
and the Misses Hattie Marx and May
belle Hallett all of Kenosha.

scented with handsome gold medal. by

FOREIGNERS OBSERVE LAW
Finding That They Can Not Vote On
First Papers Few Of the Aliens Seek
These Papers and Nearly as Many
Get Second Papers.

Clerk of the Circuit Court Frank
Waldo forwarded to Washington this
afternoon his quarter, report Of the
naturalization Of aliens in this county.
The report shows that under the new
law the business Of this department of
the government is not increasing. In
fact there is a decided falling off in
the number Of first papers issued while
the increase in applications for second
naners is not LARGE. When the Wis
consin legislature passed law making
it impossible for aliens to vote on
their first papers they gave the bust
ness Of the clerk so far as naturaliza-
ton was concerned BODY blow and the
quarterly report which covered the
month in which the city election was
held shows that but al foreigners de
clared their intention to become citi-
zeus in the three months. In former
years the number Of first papers issued
in this quarter had run as high as 400
and ON one occasion Just before a partic-

were more than 500 aliens granted first
papers i'm order to give them the right
to vote. The aliens have now discov-

ORIGINAL PETITIONERS QUIT
But Six of the Men Who Had Sought to
Have the Drainage District Set off
Remain Firm in Their Support of
Plans
(From Saturday IS Daily


The construction of the Dutch Cap
the proposed drainage ditch in the town
Of Bristol which has been sought for
many years and which seemed about
to be realized was dealt body blow
in the Circuit Court this morning when
Judge Belden granted a motion for
the dismissal of all the proceedings for
the digging of the ditch with the under
standing that the costs of the case thus
far shall be paid by the property own
ers who had signed the original petit
tion and who have now withdrawn from
the petition. The matter may be re-
opened later for argument as Attorney
R. V. Baker who represented the origi-
nal petition was not in court nor in the
city and if he so desires he will be given a
chance to argue for the reopening Of
the matter. However, it is certain
that the death l1nell has been sounded
for the project as the great majority
Of the property owners who were orr
ginally supporting the building of the
drain have withdrawn from the petition
There were originally 20 signers Of the
petition for the creation of the drain
age district and IA of this humber with
drew their names when the matter came
up this morning They declared that
the ditch could not be constructed on
the plans outlined, that it would be q
damage rather than benefit to their
property, and that any benefits which
might accrue would be nothing in COM
parison with the expense of the con
struction Of the ditch. The petition for
withdrawal of the petition represented
not only majority of the property
owners affected but also a majority of
the acreage George A. Shields who
had been the leading figure of the
fight for the ditch for more than ten
years was not in the court at the time
the order was handed down as he is i'll
at his home in Bristol In addition to
the petition for withdrawal a remonst-
rance signed by 80 property owners was
presented and this remonstrance left
just six property owners in the pro
posed district who were favorable to
the proposed ditch.
The village of Bristol and people rep
resented on the petition were out in force
to urge the Dismissal of the case in the
court and Attorney Peter Fisher who
appeared for the remonstrance did not
make any extended arguement more
than to submit the fact that the great
mass of the property owners interested
in the project have withdrawn their
support from it.
The case came up this morning for
the confirmation of the report of the
men who had appraised the property
and assessed the benefits and damages.
1t is probable that the matter will be
closed up within the next two weeks.
