MARYLAND SWEPT
BY HEAVY SNOW

BALTIMORE, Nov 4-The first
snow of the winter fell last night in
Baltimore.
The flakes landed moist and soft, but
a low temperature, high wind that
blew at times in vengeful strength,
and a cold rain to add a wintry tang
made the snow a real harbinger of
winter. y little heavier snow. a bit
less warmth, ad a little more wind

night the snow was still coming

BOARDING HOUSES ARE OPENED
Thousands of Men Being Employed by
Employment Bureaus to Come Into
This County Next Week-Ice now
Seven Inches Thick

Ice men in Kenosha county are get
ting ready for the annual harvest and
the first installmelt Of the representa-
tives Of the big ice companies have ar
rived at the lake regions in the west
ern part Of the county and are busy
getting things in readiness for the
coming Of thousands Of laborers to be
employed in the harvest. The big
boarding houses which have been clos
ed during the summer are being re-
opened and cleaned up for the coming
Of the men and it is expected that with
continuance Of the cold weather that
the ice harvest will be under way
within the next ten days. Most of the
Kenosha houses have been emptied this
year and the harvest promises to be
one of the largest ever cut out in the
county No new houses have been built
during the year but several of the hous-
es partially destroyed by fire last year
have been rebuilt and ice will be put
up in fully twenty houses in the Lcoun-
ty this year. The ice is already seven
inches thick on the lake and it is de-
clared that with a continuance Of the
cold weather the ice will be thick
enough to cut by the last Of next week.
There is now big demand for ice
and until long after the opening of
the new year all the ice cut will be
shipped directly from Kenosha to Chi
cago and other large cities. The Chi
cage and Northwestern railway com
pany has begun to get the cars ready
for handling the crop.
The work of gathering together the
nondescript army of workers to have
charge Of the harvest has been started
in a half a dozen different employment
agencies in Chicago. The men many
of whom have worked on farms during
the summer months have been in Chi
cage for weeks waiting for the call
to the ice fields and in this time they
have been seeking to perfect an or
ganization which will make it possible
for them to make demands for better
wages than in other years. The men
in charge of the harvest are not anti
cipating any serious labor troubles this
year. Last year there were repeated
strikes at the various big ice houses
but there are so many men idle in Chi
cago this year that it is thought that
there will be no danger of lack of
men to get the ice harvested.
The Independent Ice company of
Kenosha will as in other years cut a
supply of ice at Twin Lakes.
People residing in the villages about
the lakes are demanding that the best
possible watch be kept ON the army Of
ice workers coming into these villages
to prevent their bringing disease.

MRS. G. E. THOMPSON DEAD.
Wife of Well Known Physician Died
Oh Wednesday After Long Illness.

Mrs. Flora Dart Thompson, aged 80
years, wife of DR.. George r. Thompson
one of the best known of the praetie-
ing physicians Of the city died at the
family residence on Milwaukee avenue
Wednesday afternoon just after three
O'Clock after long illness from a
complication of diseases. Although
Mrs. Thompson had been i'll for many
weeks few of her friends knew that
her condition was so serious and the
announcement of her death will come
as a sad shock to many people in the
city.
Mrs. Thompson was daughter of
the late Felix Dart and was born in
DePere, Wis, February s, 1878. She
was educated in the schools of DePere
and Green Bay Four years ago last
May she was married to Dr. Thompson
at Green Bay and shortly after her
marriage she came with her husband
to Kep0sha to make her home. Since
coming to Kenosha she had been active
among the women Of the North side of
the city and had made a wide circle
of friends. She is survived by her
husband, five sisters, three brothers
and her mother.

make them so. The fact remains how
ever, that there is a large trade going
out of this city and that benz
we would infinitely prefer
should 60 to Milwaukee and help builol
up the metropolis of our own state than
to have it go to Chicago. At least the
money will be spent in Wisconsin and
if this city is to suffer loss of trade
there is little satisfaction in having
it stay somewhere near home.
Sine of the money may drift back
this way if it is spent in Milwaukee
but when Kenosha people let go of it
in Chicago it is gone forever. These
recent attempts to induce the trade
of Kenosha to visit Milwaukee are
evidence that the Milwaukee mer-
chants are waking up to the fact that
they have long neglected their oppor-
tunities in this city. For years they
have calmly submitted to being dis
eliminated against in the matter of
communication rates by the railways and
permitted Chicago to get trade which
if it can properly be said to belong
anywhere outside of Kenosha certain
ly belongs to Milwaukee.

WANT SEALS USED
Committee in Fight Against
tuberculosis Seek Educa-
ton OutofSeal Campaign
TO INTEREST PEOPLE IN FIGHT

We ask every purchaser Of Christ
mas seals who uses them on mail mat
ter to use care and judgment in afix-
ing them," is the appeal sent from
the campaign headquarters of the Wis
consin Anti-tuberculosis association to-
day. "Because people insisted on using
Christmas seals as postage and attached
them ON address side Of letters, cards
and packages last year, causing great
confusion in the postoffces, and espec-
tally in foreign countries, the postmas-
ter general hesitated to allow the use
of Christmas greetings on any mail
matter this year. Permission this year
was granted only on condition that in
structions be followed and if the peo-
pie fail to do this, we may be forced
to abolish Christmas seals altogether"
The right place for Christmas seals
on letters is on the reverse side and
not on the address side. Above all,
the seals should never be used as post
age stamps,
The change in name from "Christ-
mas stamps" to "Christmas seals"
was made out of consideration of the
wishes Of the postmaster general. The
use of the word "stamp'' led many
people to believe that the little holiday
greetings could be used as ordinary
postage. This practice tied up thou
sands of letters and sent other thou
sands to the deadletter Office for lack
of postage.
IF we were not allowed to sell seals,
whereby the anti-tuberculosis move
ment is financed, for use on mail mat
ter" the association says, cit would
be a bad blow to progress in wiping
out consumption. The seals are not
only bringing in money to prosecute
the fight, but they are a great educa-
tional force, one which has contributed
immensely to the progress we have al
ready made in this battle"

The secretary of agriculture is right
in his contention that the farmer never
gets an excessive. and sometimes only
a small share Of the money paid for his
produce by the consumer to the retail
er. A study of conditions in many
cities has brought out the fact that
the farmer, "who assumed the risk and
performed the toll of productions" gets
so per cent, the railroads 7 per cent,
and the middlemen 43 per cent.
The first impulse of the consumer
will be to cast reproachful chances at
the middlemen and to accuse them of
levying too heavy a toll on the pro-
ducts that pass through their hands.
But the secretary Of agriculture has
neglected to allow for the fact that
the middlemen also assume risks. The
products they handle may spoil on their
hands. They have to ask higher
price for those which do not spoil in
order to recoup themselves. The more
perishable the article the greater the
risk. That explains why Of the price
the retailer gets for an orange the
grower gets only 20 per cent AS the
risk of loss for the middlemen decreases
the farmer IS share Of the price paid
goes up. With oats it is IA per cent.
1t is only fair that this side of the
case should be presented. We hav.
heard considerable about the excessive
profits of middlemen made at the ex-
pense of the farmers. Those profits are
not so great as they seem. The middle
men do not appear to be getting rich
so rapidly as the farmers. The census
figures show that the farms and farm
buildings of Indiana have increased in
value $74S,000,000 during the last ten
years, despite a slight decrease in acre
age.
But no matter how small and reason
able the changes of middlemen may be,
DOCn consumer ana FARMER would bene-
fit if one could deal directly with the
other. The secretary of agriculture
recommends closer relations between
them as a partial solution Of the prob
lem of high prices. He would have CO.
operative associations in the cities to
deal with farmers selling associations.
Then farmers could get more, while con-
sumers paid less. It is an excellent
idea, but consumers are singularly
averse to doing anything which requires
effort to better themselves. The mid
dlemen save them trouble. They ac-
cept their services and then abuse
them for charging too much.--Tribune.

TO DO AWAY WITH Commission
With Bonds Paid Off City Council is
Free to Repeal Ordinances and Pass
New Rules for the Management of
Paying Plant

1t is expected that the trust deed
under which the Northwestern Loan
and Trust company has financed the
affairs of the Kenosha Water company
will be discharged the first of January
and lot of people are watching with
considerable interest to see just what
steps the city council will take to pro-
vide for the future management of the
company and the water plant. Up to
that time the plant will not be under
the control of the Common Council. At
it's last meeting the council passed a
resolution which provided that no fur
Their assessments be made for payment
for hydrant rentals but no action was
taken to elect water commissioner to
succeed Matthias Greenwald whose term
expired three months ago and the mat
ter was not even mentioned. With
the bonds Of the company paid off the
council will be in a position to take
such steps as it may see fit to provide
for the management of the water plant
and the ordinance creating the water
commission may be repealed or amend
ed in any manner that the council may
see fit. In former years the council
was barred from tampering with the
commission on account of the fact that
the bond holders were secured by the
trust deed. All Of the bonds have not
as yet been presented for payment but
they have all ceased to draw interest
and the money for their final liquida-
tion is in the hands of the trustees. 1t
may be several years before all the
bonds are presented and paid but it is
expected that the Loan and Trust COM
pany will execute bond to the city
to secure the payment Of any outstand-
ing bonds and then cancel the trust
deed.
The Water Commission is closing UP
it's work so as to be able to turn over
the plant to the council and to this end
the new pumps have been accepted and
paid for and as rapidly as possible all
outstanding Indebtedness for extern
sions and for supplies for the plant is
being cleaned up. One thing is certain
and that is that with the opening Of
the new year there will not be one
cent OF Indebtedness on the plant which
cannot be paid with the funds in the
hands of the trustees. The plans for
the proposed intake are still in the
hands of the members of the commits
sion and it is possible that the council
will decide to proceed with the build
ing Of the new intake next year.
Should such decision be made it would
be necessary to make new bond issue
for the city as it is not probable that
the bonds could be issued against the
water plant alone. The collection Of
rentals this year is just about complet-
ed and this will give the commission
balance Of several thousand dollars.

PENSIONS FOR LIFE SAVERS.
.oald Create a Pension oss.,


According to William Livingstone,
president of the Lake Carrier IS asso
citation, a great many vessel owners
are taking much interest in the move
ment to have a pension fund estab-
lished for aged and broken down Unit
ed States life savers. The United
ssates senate passed bill providing
for this last year, and it is hoped that
it will pass the house this season.
- sincerely hope that the lifesav-
ers' bill will pass the house for there
is no more deserving class of men,
said a lake captain on Thursday.
"'These boys take all sorts of chances
and risk their lives to save those of
others, often sustaining injuries in the
performance of their duties.
There are many eripples to be car
ed for, and it is no more than fight
that the government make some pro-
vision for them. All vessel owners,
and men who arc interested in lake nav
lgation, should use their influence to
have this bill passed by congress.
