BATH TUBS COST MORE.
Plumbers Trust Adds Big Sum 20 the
Cost of Household Necessities.


Every day it is becoming more ex-
pensive to keep clean, not because the
price of soap and water is going up,
but that of the bath tubs is. Plumbers
admit it, and the bath tub trust is said
to be to blame.
The fact is, however, that the price
has been raised by the manufacturers
about 10 per cent. A guaranteed en-
ameled bath tub which sold at $40 a
few months ago now costs about $23.
Plumbers say labor is the same and
the price Of the raw material used in
the construction has not changed.
All other plumbing supplies also
have increased in price. Sinks which
week ago cost $3.50 now are put at
$3.50. The price four months ago was
$1.90.
"That shows what the Central Sup
ply association (the alleged trust)
is doing" said a leading plumber.
Their men are getting the same wag-
es now as they were when the price of
that sink was $1.90. Iron hasn't gone
up any, ether

Racine Poultry Fanciers VIII Leave
Lake Shore Association.

Racine poultry fanciers will not be
dependent upon the Kenosha poultry
show this year, having decided to or
ganize and hold an exhibition of their
own some time this winter. It was
decided after the show held last year
In Kenosha that the next affair was
to take place in Racine, but when
local fanciers commenced to make
arrangements the Kenosha society
backed down and stated that it was
their intention to hold the exhibition
in their home town.
A meeting of those interested in
forming a poultry society will be held
next Wednesday evening at the Elsner
shoe store on Main street, which will
be the first step toward arranging
for the show. Officers will be elected,
and a rules committee appointed,
and the matter will be thoroughly dis
cussed. Communications have been
sent to every poultry fancier in the
city TO be present at this meeting.
This will be the first poultry organ
ization that Racine has had for twelve
years. Those interested in the forma-
tion of the society consider that Racine
has even better material than Kenosha
for the formation of such society Ra-
cine fanciers carrying off many prizes
at the Kenosha show. David Kenn edy,
local chicken raiser, who is interested
in the society, carried off eight first and

SOLDIERS ARE BEATEN
HANDLERS Easily Defeat Fort
Sheridan Team by a Score
of Is to 4 on Sunday
COLD WEATHER Trims CROWD

The Rambler Base Ball team played
the first game with an out of town
team at the new Rambler Park on Sun
day afternoon when it defeated the
team from Fort Sheridan by a score of
Is to 4. It was a cold weather base
ball game and Notwithstanding the fact
that the sun shone brightly for good
part Of the afternoon the two hundred
fans who went out to the game SILVER
-ed in the grand stand and cheered the
local players through the nine long in
nings. The Fort Sheridan team was a
disappointment and the line up was fan
from the line that had been put against
the strong teams of the Park Owners
league during the earlier part of the
season but Manager Haag declined to
disappoint fans and the game went
on. Knight was in the box for the
Ramblers and for six innings the visi-
tors failed to score while the Ramblers
piled up a total of runs. In the
closing innings of the game the Ke-
nosha team let down little and the
visitors managed to get in six runs.
However, there never was a time when
the game was in danger and had the
Kenosha team been pushed there is no
doubt but that the game would have
resulted in even a larger score.
Manager Haag has not made any an
nouncement for future games but if
the weather warns up a little and In

ARREST FOR BALL PLAYER.
Martin Boyle Jr, Arrested While Play
ing With Cardinals on Sunday.

Martin Boyle Jr. one of the star mem
bers of the Cardinal Base Ball team
was arrested on Sunday afternoon on a
charge of assault and battery. The ar
rest was made by Sheriff Gunter at the
Holderness diamond while Boyle was
engaged in playing with his team mates.
He was taken to jail and later released
on bonds Of fifty dollars pending a
hearing in the municipal court this af-
ternoon. Boyle is charged with having
assaulted Carl Risch inA the town of
Bristol on August 10th. A warrant
was issued for his arrest many weeks
ago and Sheriff Gunter had been look
ing for him since that time. The as
sault is alleged to have been serious
one it being claimed that Boyle struck
Risch with a pitchfork. The complain
ing witness was laid up for some time
as a result of the assault.

dian summer arrives on scheduled time
it is probable that several more games
will be played. The foot ball boys are
now anxious to get the field for Sun
day afternoons and it is possible that
some combination foot ball and base
ball games will be arranged during the
rest of the season. Such combination
would undoubtedly prove popular with
the Kenosha fans.

COUNTY BOARD IS FAVORABLE
Field Agent @. A. Catchpole of James
vile Tells of Work of Organization
and Seeks Supports Here in Kenosha
Today.

The Rev. C. A, Catchpole of James
vile, field agent for the Children's
Home Finding Society Of Wisconsin In
the first Wisconsin district was in Ke-
nosha today seeking aid for the organ
ization from private sources and at the
same time making a plea to the mem
bers of the county board for fixed coun-
ty add for the institution. The matter
will be laid before the county board
at its ,oming November session and it
is thought that the work Of the society
will be recognized and small appro-
priation made to carry it forward. At
the last meeting of the county board
an appropriation Of $100 was made for
the work of the organization. Many
prominent Kenosha people are beginn-
ing to take an interest in the work Of
the organization which has it's central
office in Milwaukee and is doing a great
work in caring for homeless children
in this and other counties. During
the year more than two hundred chill
dren are cared for and the work of the
society is that not reached by any of
the state institutions. 1t is of a deli
cate nature ON account Of the fact that
q majority of the children who are
taken by the officials of the society are
of illegitimate birth. At the present
time the society is caring Tor four Ke-
nosha children. These children have
been taken by the officials of the So
ciety during the past year and two of
them have been placed In good homes in
different parts of the state while the
other two are being held pending the
finding of proper places for them. The
officials of the society to use the words
Of one Of the county officials are cal
ways on the job" There has never
been a tive when q. child was found
without home and which demanded
the care of the society that it declined
to take it and what is more to the point
bhOAO "AS hO AOh6 0SA1yS IA ndNAHS
the children properly cared for. The
society sends it's agent to Kenosha,
takes the child and cares for it with
out making charge of any nature to
the county or to the unfortunate par
emit of the child. Quite a number of
the people Of KenoshaN county have
adopted children from the Milwaukee
institution,
Mr.. Catchpole states that the aver
age cost of caring for child pending
the finding of home is $50. This in
cludes the most tender nursing that
can be given to the children and in
the home in Milwaukee they are given
every care that could be given to them
should they be left with their mothers.
The institution is now seeking to
make provision for permanent support
by having counties in the state bene.
fitted by its work make an annual ap-
preparation. 1t is pretty certain that the
Kenosha county board win be willing
to make an appropriation for the work
as the services furnished by the So
ciety are regarded as of the greatest
value to the poor officials of this coun-
ty.
