Owosso won the fifth and decid-
ing game in the series of five base
ball games with Chesaning, at the
race track diamond Sunday after
noon before large crowd. Heavy
hitting and good fielding put the
game away in the early innings for
the locals. The score was 7 to 1.
Chesaning's single tally came in the
first inning and after that they sell
dom threatened to score.
"Dick" Chapman pitcher his best
game this season, allowing the losers
but two scattered bingles. On the
other hand, Miller, who has general
ly proven puzzle for the locals, was
hit freely, ten clean drives having
been secured off his delivery.
Walter Boehm's record at bat was
a perfect one. Our Of four trips to
the plate. the big fellow banged out
three slashing singles and three
base hit, which went for a home run,
on poor relay to the plate. There
was runner on the sacks when
Boehm's clout cleaned 'em up"
Chapman also figured strongly in
the hitting department, and his work
with the stick was a great factor in
winning the game. The pitcher got
two-base hits, each coming when one
or more bases were occupied.
A. j. Greene umpired the game
and his decisions gave entire salts
faction TO everyone. The game will
probably be the last the locals will
play this season.

N 1862 congress passed a law ap-
propriating money for the estab-
lishment Of colleges of agricul-
ture and mechanic arts. Today
tnere are sixty-seven such institutions
IN the United States. The establish
ment of the agricultural colleges open
cd up an entirely new field Of educa-
ton. The study Of science and the ap-
plication of that science to the prob
lens Of everyday life began to take the
place OF the study of classics. Edu-
eating man merely to have him edu-
Gated began to go out Of style. and the
tuer education that better fits a man
to tackle the problems of life took its
place.

really come to fill the place for which
they were designed. At first the idea
of educating a farmer was laughable
to many people who rejoiced in lit
tie learning. Even the farmer him
self did not realize the advantage Of a
college education to a man who must
make living from the soil. 1t took a
good many years to bring people to re-
alize that college education is as val
liable for a farmer as for a doctor or
a lawyer. The main difference is that
the law compels man to get col
lege diploma before he starts to prac-
tice medicine. while he may start
farming with nothing but team and
plow.
Even at the present time there are
many men both on the farm and In
the cities who doubt the value of a
college education for the farmer
Many a farm boy is squarely con-
fronted with the problem of choosing
between four years in college or start
ing to farm at once. Four years Is q
long time to young man. Fifteen
hundred to $1,000 is a large sum Of
money to him. To spend both for a
college education requires a great deal
of courage and faith in the future.
The amount of money necessary to
pay four years expenses In college
will enable the young man to start
farming on a rented farm. The four
years will, II he is industrious, enable
him to earn enough to make good
sized payment on farm of his own
If he goes to college he will have
nothing at the end Of the four years
but the experience and knowledge he
has gained there. Is 1t worth itl
have put this question squarely to
dozens of men In their last year at
an agricultural college. Without ex-
ception they say that 1t is worth the
outlay. Not one regretted the time
or the money which he had bartered
for his education. Few Of them placed
1t on money basis alone, but even
from that standpoint they considered
that the chances were in favor Of the
college man.
The boy who starts farming for him.
self without any education will run up
against a good many snags which the
college man will miss. He will learn
by experience many Of the things
which the college man learns in
school. In doing so he will pay much
dearer for his knowledge. The old
prejudice against book farming" is
fast disappearing. People are coming
TO realize that book farming is merely
the fused experience of successful
farmers everywhere. explained and
illumined by the light of science. Prob
ably In no one respect is the advan-
tage OF the college man more clearly
apparent than In the case Of soil fer
tility. Long after the unframed man
has begun to notice and wonder at
the decline Of his crop yields the man
who has studied the science Of soil
fertility will be raising undiminished
crops. The art of keeping up the
soil fertility cannot be learned from
the neighbors, for they have not prac-
ticed Il 1t cannot be learned from
father or grandfather, for in their
day the fertility of the soil was con-
sidered inexhaustible.

NO 17-YEAR LocUsTs COMING.
University Expert Says Fruit Growers
Need not Fear Pest This Year.

None of the periodical cicada known
as the seventeen year locustso will
appear in Wisconsin this year, accord
ing to Prof. j. G, Sanders, entomolog-
ist for the college of Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin, who has re-
ceived numerous anxious inquiries
from fruit growers of the state.
A scattering brood will appear in
1915 throughout the state, he says, and
again in 1919 few may be seen. In
1922 numerous brood may be expect
ed in the southern part of the state
and another scattering brood in 1928.
There is no ground for apprehension
Of serious damage from the locusts be-
fore 1922, however.
Since considerable damage may be
caused by the female cicada cutting
young branches and twigs when laying
eggs, it is not advisable for fruit grow
ers to plant young orchard within a
year or two previous to the appearance
of a large brood. Of the fruit trees
the apple and pear are most severely
attacked by the insects and among
forests trees the oak and hickory.

Police Seeking Party Alleged to Have
Been Connected With Auto Theft
The police of Kenosha have received
kilograms from New York asking them
to look out for woman as well as
man who are alleged to have been con-
nected with the theft of the automobile
belonging to j. j. Burgess which was
recently recovered as the result of the
work of Chief of Police O Hare. The
man who sold the automobile gave his
name as Carson and it is alleged that
when he left New York he Lad wom-
an with him. 1t is said that the
woman was with Carson when the au
tomobile was placed in the barn in the
town of Pleasant Prairie near the Illi-
nois state line. Since that time all
trace of the woman has been lost She
was not with Carson when he consum-
mated the deal for the sale of the auto
mobile in Milwaukee. The police here
do not seem to believe that there is
any reason to think that the man
and the woman are in Kenosha.

EXPECT A PROSECUTION
District Attorney Has Evidence Of Il
legal Voting at Primary Election

District Attorney Baker has been
given some conclusive evidence in re-
gard to illegal voting at the recent
primary election and the matter is be-
ing closely watched today. The man
who cast an illegal vote had been a
resident of Kenosha for some time, but
had taken out his first papers just
thirty days before the election. 1t is
alleged that he voted in the Sixth ward
and that he was brought to the polls
by an official of high standing in the
directory of city officials. The facts
in the case were discovered on the day
following the primary, but it was
thought possible that efforts might be
made to vote the same man today and
for this reason no action was taken
in the matter. The facts in the case
seem to be plain and it is certain that
the district attorney will proceed with
all vigor before many days have pass
ed.

FLEEs FROM DEPORTATION
Italian Sick for Weeks Runs Away
When About to be Sent Back

Efforts are being to find some trace
of Giovana Fortuna, an Italian, who
disappeared from Kenosha on Monday
after the county agent had taken steps
to have him sent back to Italy. Por-
tuna came to this country in January
and worked but eight days when he
was taken sick and efforts were made
to have him sent to a hospital at the
expense of the county. Agent Jones
at once took up the matter with the
immigration officials in Kenosha and
had made application to have the man
deported. 1t is claimed that he was
an invalid when he reached Kenosha.
When the physician went to see the
man on Monday he found the room
empty 1t is thought that the italian
went to Racine and efforts will be
made to put Racine officials wise to
the real conditions.

LAKE WATER IS PURE
Water From Lake Michigan
Declared to Be Best for
Drinking Purposes


Officials of twenty-five cities border
ing on Lake Michigan attended the
meeting of the Lake Michigan Water
Commission which was held in the city
hall at Milwaukee Friday. The meet
ing was presided over by DR.. w. A.
Evans, commissioner of health of the
city of Chicago.
After organizing the commission list
ened to paper by G. B. Burdick, a
consulting engineer Of Chicago, on the
"Relation of the Intake to Pure Wat
er on the Great Lakes"
emo water is better for drinking
purposes than that of Lake Michigan,
provided it is taken from proper
Depths he said. cit is tasteless,
odorless, and more free from mineral
matters than any that 1 know Of The
only consideration of Importance in Sc
curing the purest that Lake Michigan
offers is to get it from depths sufficient
to insure freedom from pollution.
Mr.. Burdick said the lake was most
shallow in the vicinity of Chicago and
for this reason that city had to lay the
intake out considerable distance. He
thought that no intake should be plac-
ed in water less than twenty or thirty
feet. The Milwaukee intake is in
forty feet of water.
In opening President Evans said the
object of the commission was to make
study of water pollution on shores
of Lake Michigan. He said that a
survey had been made for Illinois and
Indiana, and that it would be advis-
able to continue on the Michigan and
Wisconsin shores. The commission al
so was interested in the sewage ques-
ton to determine it's effect on water
pollution, he SAID.

HOLD SHORT MEETING
City Council Decides to Take
+ Troubles With n. w. to
State Commission

The city council at its meeting on
Monday night decided to go to the
state railway commission with the
troubles it has had with the Northwest
ern Railway Company and in the mean
time the company will be given one
week-just seven days to provide for
the proper protection of the crossings
in the city. The city attorney was
directed to notify the company's of
ticials that this step would be taken
and give them this chance to heed the
demands of the city. For several
years the council has been attempting
to force the railway company to place
watchmen at many of the crossings of
the city, but the company has been
very deaf to these demands in most
instances and it is claimed that in
four years only a few of the demands
of the council have been met.
Other cities have gone to the rail
way commission with a similar demand
and they have made it stick. The
city attorney will at once prepare a
statement of the complaint Of the peo-
pie of Kenosha to lay before the COM
mission and it is thought that the com
pany will meet this demand rather
than have the matter laid before the
commission. In order to. have the
Middle street crossing, one of the most
dangerous in the city properly protect
ed the council decided to continue the
employment of a man at this point
pending the employment of man by
the company.
The meeting of the council was a
short one and few matters of import
ance came up. The meeting was late
getting started, but the aldermen went
through, with the routine work with
speed that was considered nothing less
than wonderful by the few people who
were in the lobby. 1t was evident
that some Of the members had some
campaigning to do and that they were
anxious to get at it.
Petitions were received asking that
the city test the use of crude oil with
an asphalt base for laying the dust
on macadam streets as Exchange street
and Durkee avenue and this was re-
ferred to the street assessment com
mittee with power to act. The petit
tion for the sprinkling of Prairie
avenue came in and took similar ref

tee Warns People About
Moving Into Dirty Houses
URGES THOROUGH CLEANING

The urgent necessity for ascertain
ing the history of dwellings into which
families are about to move is pointed
out in bulletin issued by the Wis
consin Anti tuberculosis Association.
The bulletin is based on the fact that
consumption is communicated to a
great extent by the occupancy of dwell
lings previously used by families in
which there is consumptive or a
death from tuberculosis. has occurred.
"Many innocents are literally slaugh-
tered annually because a family with
out the slightest faint of consumption
moves into house which has harbored
a case or in which death from tuber-
culosis has occurred" says the bulle-
tin. "The newcomers absorb the
germs by the wholesale and soon the
u1sease is communicated to all members
Of the family. Ultimately there is a
series Of thousands of wholly prevent
able cases to be traced back to one
home.
+ "We ask that every family intend
ing to move inquire thoroughly into
the history Of its next home. Every
family ought to be assured of whether
or not it has been occupied by CON
sumptive or has been vacated because
of the death of an occupant suffering
from the disease.
cit is very important, even if it
costs small sum, to make such inves-
LEGATIONS, for the saving is hundred
fold. If merchant considered hand
ing out line of credit he would not
hesitate nor would he have much diff
ficulty in finding all information. 1t
is infinitely more important to investi-
gate when human life is at stake.

partment should be consulted at once
If there is no health department, the
physician is the proper person to be
consulted. Either will give safe and
proper directions as to what should be
done before the family moves into the
home.

er fails to have the title investigated.
1t should not be otherwise when a

erence. Frank Getschman and Charles
H. Pfennig were given permission to
lay drain from their property in the
west part of the city to connect with
Jerome Creek pending the building of
big sewer. This was done on the
recommendation of the committee on
sewers with the unanimous vote of the
council.
1t was expected that the council
would take some final action on the
passage of the ordinance providing for
the placing of wires underground but
this was not taken up and it will
probably not be taken up until the new
council takes its place. The council
will meet on Friday night to canvass
the votes of the election held today
and it is probable that the new coun-
ell will go into Office two weeks from
last night. In the meantime the com
mittees of the present council are plan
ming to close up all the work now on
hand. There are few important mat
tiers to go over to the new council, the
only really important matters being
the building commission ordinance and
the ordinance for the placing of wires
underground. This latter ordinance
may be passed at the last meeting of
the present council, but it is pretty
certain that the building code will go
over.

Ey-BANEER AND HORSE Thief
Arrested Under the Name of Robert
Green he Attacked Guard and Els
capped From Jail and is Still at
Liberty

Police in Kenosha are watching
closely the chase that is being made
for the recapture Of Robert Green, one
time a banker at Waynetown, Indiana,
and more recently held as horse thief
in the Jail at Elyria, Ohio. He escaped
from the jail on March 81 and manag-
ing to elude posse after posse and is
supposed to have gone into Indiana
where he is now in hiding. Pictures of
Green sent to Kenosha seem to be re-
markably like pictures of Becker. At
the time of the escape Of Green he had
torn a portion of his iron bunk to
pieces and with this as weapon he
attacked the guard Of the Jail and
telling him with a blow on the head
he secured the keys to the Jail and the
revolver belonging to the guard and
escaped. The guard was the only
officer in the Jail at the time. Later
a posse was organized and they
pursued the escaped prisoners in auto
mobiles, but Green secured the use of
a horse and buggy and managed to get
away.
For two days the posses pursued
Green but he managed to elude them
and when he had been surrounded in
a village short distance from Elyria
he managed to slip out and again got
away.
Chief of Police O'Hare when asked
in regard to the story declared that
while Green had something of the ap-
pearance of Becker he could not say
that the escaped prisoner was the
man who shot him on July 4th last.
However, the chief took sufficient in
terest in the story to send letters to
Ohio and the answers to these letters
received ON Monday seem to give
more reason to believe that Green
might have been the same man who
was in Kenosha. Green like Becker
was a man of good education. His
description tallies closely with that of
Becker. The man was formerly a
banker in the Indiana town, but many
years ago he failed in his bankir, bust
ness as a result of speculations on the
stock market. Some time later he
was arrested as horse thief and sent
to prison for a long term and after his
release from prison he went to the
Ohio city. Only q few weeks ago he
was arrested at Cleveland on a charge
of stealing horses. The action of
Green tailed closely with the action of
Becker in KenOsha. Chief O'Hare has
notified the officials of Lorraine county
to keep him closely advised as to the
capture of Green and if he is captured
the KenOsha chief will GO at once to
Ohio to make an effort to identify him.
The Kenosha officers kept getting
traces of Becker until the time that
Green was arrested and curiously
enough, since that time they have
heard nothing from the much sought
fugitive.
Becker some time ago was said to
be in Canada but when officials in that
country were asked to search for the
man supposed to be Becker it was
found that he had already secured the
tip and had faded away. Since that
time he had managed to conceal all
traces of himself from the officials.
