RAIN DOES GREAT GOOD.
Downfall on Monday Evening May Save
e
Corn Crop and Reduce Sickness.

Rain fell all over Kenosha county
for more than four hours Monday
night and this morning and reports
from the various towns Indicate that
the downpour which in some portions
of the county was very heavy has done
much to save the growing crops. The
rain was not as heavy in the city as
in the rural districts but rain enough
fell to wash off the streets and clean
up the atmosphere and physicians be-
lieve that the rain will go a. long way
toward reducing the number of cases
of sickness among the children of the
city. 1t is held that the dry weather
with the flying dust has been respon-
sible for much of this illness and bet
ter conditions are now expected. The
weather man is still predicting more
rain for tonight and Wednesday,.

Early Settlers to be in Full Possession
at Paddocks Lake Grounds Reunion.

When the annual reunion of the Old
Settlers of the county is held at Pad
docks Lake on August 25th it is the
plan of the officers of the association to
turn the grounds over to the Old Set
tiers and they will be allowed to man
age the picnic just as they see fit.

for them and the pioneers will have a
chance to have one picnic along their
own lines. The grounds will be turned
over to them entirely and they will
be expected to furnish the program.
There will be no dancing in the pavil-
ion during the day Tut in the evening
there will be grand ball as in other
years. The boys will have ball game
during the afternoon.
For the younger generation the Old
Settlers Club has arranged for the big
picnic on Labor Day and on that day
there will be every possible amusement
provided.
Old Settlers Day is to be for the Old
Settlers this year and it is expected
that the number of them on hand will
be greater than in any former year.

be given out just as soon as the Old
Settlers arrange it.
