NOT READY TO ACT FEAR COFFEE FAMINE
Local Dealers Unable to Get
Coffee From Big Concerns
to Supply Local Demand
RAISE IN PRICE IS CERTAIN

Have you noticed the scarcity in cof
fees Kenosha dealers declare that
there is danger of a coffee famine and
1t Is declared that 1t is all but impos-
sible to purchase certain grades of eof
fee. Big dealers from Kenosha went
to Chicago on Friday with a view of
purchasing large supplies of coffee and
they made the trip from one wholesale
house to another without being able
to get the product. There is big
shortage in the cheaper grades of the
staple and it is claimed that within
few days there will be no coffee for
sale in the city at less than twenty
cents per pound. The same conditions
prevail in all parts of the country and
it is admitted that the coffee is being
held by the big syndicates with view
Of forcing up the prices. 1t would not
be surprising if the price of coffee
jumps five cents on the pound before
the winter is well advanced One of
the big dealers in coffee in Kenosha
in speaking about the conditions this
morning said:
fThe past ten years have witnessed
an almost universal rise in the price
of food stuffs. One marked exception
to this movement has been coffee.
About thirteen years ago, the bottom
dropped out of the coffee market, ow-
ing to production, especially in
the republic of Brazil, the chief cof-
fee producing country of the world.
"Since that time, on account Of low
prices, almost no orchards have been
!, planted. The old orchards have been
gradually running down and wearing
out, partly on account of age and partly
owing to lack of cultivation. It now
appears, according to the best author
tiles, that the world,,is consuming cof-
fee faster than it is being produced.
This change has become apparent in
marked way during the past two
months, i. e., since the 1910 crop has
been harvested, showing decided de-
crease in volume. 1t appears that the
shortage will be full SO per cent.
"There has already been an advance
in cost on many grades Of 4c per pound
in green prices, which means SC per
pound in roasted prices, and many deal
ers believe that this advance will at
least be doubled during the next year.
Since it takes six or seven years to
plant new orchards and bring them
into bearing, it looks as though the
present shortage could not be made good
for many years to come, and that cheap
coffees are thing of the past. Y

MANY KNIGHTS HERE
Hundreds Of Members of K.
of c. Come From Other
Cities forBig Ceremonies
LARGE CLASS GIVEN DEGREE

More than 200 members of the
knights of Columbus representing
councils in Central and Southern Wis
consin came to Kenosha on Sunday af
ternoon to assist the members of the
Kenosha council in comforting the sec
ond and third degrees on a class of
sixty members the largest class ever
initiated in the history of the order
and the ceremonies attending the large
class adoption made the day red let
ter day in the history of the Kenosha
council.
The work began at two o'clock Sun
day afternoon the comforting of the
second degree being in charge of Grand
Knight Walter Burke and the members
Of the Kenosha degree team. They
were assisted by the Rev. Father Nc
Bride of Oconomowoc, one of the lead
ing ritualists of the order. The third
degree was conferred during the entire
afternoon and the final ceremonies
were not concluded until after nine
clock in the evening.
It was the biggest gathering of the
members of the order ever seen in Ke-
nosha and large delegations came from
Manitowoc, Oconomowoc, Milwaukee,
Racine, Waukegan and other cities.
State Deputy DIR. 7. L. Harrington and
District Deputy CantweH of Milwau-
kee were among the visitors but they
did not take part in the work.
During the afternoon short addresses
were made by the state officials and by
many of the visiting priests.
Following the ceremonies of the in
itiation banquet was served at the
New Park hotel at nine CLOCK Sunday
evening at which covers were laid for
sixty guests. The guests at the ban
quet included the members of the de-
gree teams who had been in charge of
the initiation and the state officials and
few of the distinguished visitors.
The dinner was the most successful So
cial function given by the knights in
Kenosha and while the hour was so late
that there was no time for speech MAX

Christmas Seals to Be Sold
This Year to Aid in Fight
Against Tuberculosis
WOULD ECLIPSE FORMER SALES

Christmas stamps, to be known this
year as "seals, will again be placed
on sale at one penny each by the Wis
consin Anti tuberculosis association in
December. By this means the society
hopes to replenish it's working fund and
be enabled to continue to wage an
aggressive fight against the ravages of
consumption in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin led the world in the sale
of Christmas stamps last year: Figures
now at hand show that more stamps
were sold in this state according to
population than anywhere else in the
Union. The ratio was 1.35 to every in
habitant.
The Wisconsin nti-Tuberculosis as
ISOLATION has decided to sell the Red
Cross Christmas seals this year, instead
of issuing distinctly Wisconsin stamp
as in 1909. The Red Cross seal will be
the official standard of the world. >
In announcing the next Christmas
seal campaign, the Wisconsin society
says in the September issue of 'fThe
Crusader"
.For the sake of the tens of thous-
ands of living sufferers from this pre-
ventable disease, tuberculosis, the peo-
pie of Wisconsin should come to the
aid of this association and give it the
ammunition it needs to follow up the
advantage already gained in the battle
against the common enemy.
"Every Christmas seal is a bullet in
the fight. The penny it brings into the
treasury of the ssociation-which re
presents the organized opposition TO
consumption in Wisconsin-will bring
health dividends a thousand-fold.
cit must not be forgotten that for
each penny paid for Christmas seal
is given value received in the form of
handsome holiday greeting sticker for
letter, gifts, packages and mail of all
kinds-a message of hope and good
cheer to all the world"

CHANCE FOR INVESTIGATION
Woman Sought By Police and Others
Harbored in Kenosha During the Day
But Turned Over To Police in Racine
at Night

A delegation of Racine women, many
of them prominent in clubs of that city
visited Kenosha on Friday in an effort
to get some trace Of Angelina Nett
Bozitz beautiful Russian girl of nine
teen who was alleged to be living a
life of infamy. The girl was founu in
one of the resorts of Racine late last
night and restored to her family. The
women were connected with the So
called "Big Sister" movement which
has for it's principal aim the rescue of
young women from a life of shame.
Complaints had been made to the wo
men that the Russian girl was leading a
life OF infamy and they started out to
find her. A visit to one of the Racine
resorts revealed the fact that the girl
had left the place and had come to
Kenosha and a delegation at once came
to this city and started quiet search
for her Several places were visited
and while it was admitted that the
young woman had been in Kenosha dur
ing the day the women failed to find
her. 1t is said that the Neitbozitz girl
was we'll known in Kenosha but she
managed to keep out of the way of the
women looking for her and slipped out
of Kenosha and returned to Racine be-
fore she could be found Late in the
evening the Racine police who had been
called into the search for the girl re-
ceived a telephone message from re-
sort keeper stating that the much
sought girl had returned to Racine and
was being held for them. She was
then returned to her home. 1t is alleg-
ed that the girl has. been slightly de-
mented for some time and that her
parents had been making an effort to
find her with a. view of having her
placed in an institution for treatment.
Efforts are being made to find where
the girl was hidden during her stay in
Kenosha and it is possible that this in
formation will open the way for an in.
vestigation into some of the places of
the city where women of this kind are
being received and harbored.
Tie Kenosha people were not asked
by the Racine women to aid in the
search for the girl but it is possible
that Chief O'Hares with the facts
brought out in the case before him will
start little search of his own. Ke-
nosha has not had a fred light = dis
trict for some time but recent develop
ments in the city coupled with the COM
ing of the Russian girl to Kenosha
seems to indicate that these women
are finding harbor in Kenosha.
