Committee in Charge of Plans for Pro-
vident Ass N. to be Ready Soon.
Those who have in hand the working
out of a plan for organizing the as.
ISOLATED charities of Kenosha are busy
in the work. A committee has been
appointed by the president to draft a
constitution and bylaws. This con-
stitution and these bylaws will be
based upon thor in use now in the
city of Milwaukee. A letter signed by
the president and secretary, will be
sent to every church, each charitable
organization connected with a church,
lodges and fraternal societies in the
city, asking that they appoint two
delegates each, to meet in the munich
pal court room, at an early date to be
mentioned, to consider the constitution
and bylaws then presented, and to aid
in determining the wisest course of
procedure in bringing these different
branches into most efficient co-opera-
ton. A speaker from abroad. one who
is at present a leader in this sort of
work, will be present to advise and to
be consulted. Details of this gather
ing which will probably be Thursday
or Friday, December Is and Is, will be
duly given. Following this meeting,
at a later date, a, general mass meet
ing will be called. The enthusiastic
interest the officers of the new organ
ization are taking in this admirable
effort, and the hearty support they are
receiving on all sides is very encourag-
ing, and promises well for the future.

Sent Out With q. s. Fleet
by Order of Government
WOULD UPL|FT NAVAL CREWS

It now looks as If a new job was
coming to the Young Men $ Christian
Association. Authorized by the Sec
rotary of the navy, a secretary sailed
with the fleet of sixteen battleships on
the Nebraska on its three month S tar
get practice cruise in southern waters,
concentrating at Guantanamo bay.
President Taft declared a few days
ago that if this trip was successful
the services of the association would
be demanded for the $4,000 men at
sea as well as on shore. The opening
story taken from personal letters reads
like success.
But where shall we find thirty to
forty secretaries who can shoot to
beat the sharpshooters, scout with sea-
soned marines, teach bible classes, han,
die moving picture shows and enter
tainments, conduct religious services
and be general all-round good fellows
and good advisers to every man on
board. from "rool3ey" to petty officer
and Christian youth to battling brui-
ser?
The surgeon finds the secretary $
service, with it's cheer and entertain
ment to be good medicine. And relief
is brought from the tedium of the day
and the loneliness of the night to the
eight hundred men and boys on board
the big fighting machines. Men are
braeed for duty and saved from de-
preston and desertion. And the con-
straining and Outstanding influence
upon character of the men in their
country s service is as effective as it is
welcome. What Was done on this
ship can be done on thirty more.
President Taft made this statement
to a group of Washington business
men: GIVE have just placed secretary
Of the Young Men S Christian Assoeia-
ton on one of our greatest battle
ships. He is working quietly; he is
not making any fuss; he is not solic-
iting subscriptions for a building on
the ship; but he is doing business; he
is commencing himself to all the off
GERS and all the men, and certainly
the result of the experiment will be
most interesting-to see how the asso-
citation can work with the rest of our
sailors. It is a great field that is OBJ
ening up if we can use the association
in order to give the men a Christian
club on board every vessel of the I'm
tied States. In the army, of course,
the Young Mems Christian Assoeia-
ton is an old story. IF the latest ex-
periments proves successful we will
reach $4,000 sailors in the United
States navy

PIONEER WOMAN DEAD.
MIS-. Katherine Maurice Died on We'd
nesday at Home of Daughter.

Mrs. Katherine Maurice, aged 70
years, widow of the late Frank Maui
rice and resident of Kenosha for
nearly sixty years died at the home of
her daughter Mrs. Louis Joerndb 772
Middle street just before five O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon. Death was due
to general breaking down due to
advanced years. Mrs. Maurice was a
daughter of the late John Gudenkauf
and was born in Greiveldingen, Lux
emberg, November "a, 1881. She
came to this country SO years ago with
her parents and settled at Southport.
The same year she was married to
Frank Maurice at ST. Marks church.
In 1883 Mrs. Maurice went to Beedle
county, South Dakota but she returned
to Kenosha in 1890 and had since made
her home in this city. She is survived
by six children; Philip, Joseph, Mich
olas and Peter Maurice and Mrs. Jo-
seph M. Scholey and Mrs. Louis
Joerndt all of whom reside in Ken
osha. Mrs. Maurice had a large circle
of friends to whom the announcement
of her death will come as a personal
sorrow.

The many demands for help made on
the poor committee of the city since
the beginning of real winter weather
shows that there is plenty of work
waiting for the Provident society when
it gets to going. People who are fam
iliar with the conditions which have
surrounded charitable work in the city
in the last few years are confident that
the dependents can be better cared for
and at lower expense through a cen-
trai bureau such as is being organized
than in any other way. Alderman Wer-
ner accomplished wonders in cutting
down the expense to the city without
in any way denying assistance to any
one entitled to it after he took Office
and it is believed that the Provident
society can show just as good results
in its field of work. AS a matter of
fact the Provident society is not being
organized particularly to cut down ex-
penses but to get results commensurate
with expenditures and to insure that
all arc properly cared for who have any
claim whatever on the charity of the
people of Kenosha.

For the first time in its history the
Kenosha postofice is to have a night
shift and within a few days Kenosha
will follow in the footsteps of many of
the larger cities by having all night
mails. This does not mean that the
postofice will be open all night but
that mails will be dispatched up to
midnight. The change has been made
necessary by a change in the mail
trains from Kenosha north and in the
future mail will be dispatched out of
Kenosha at 1l:45 p. m. In the past
the last mail train north was the 7:40
and the last south left the postoflice
at 1850 so that the office closed at
eight clock Under the new scheme
for dispatching the mails it will be
necessary for the men in charge of
handling the mails to remain on duty
until 1l:15 p. m. and it is planned
to put on a small force to work dur
ing the night. 1t is expected that in
the near future nearly all of the east
ern and southern mail from Kenosha
will arrive on the new mail train in
stead Of on the paper train in the
morning and this will make it pos
sible to get this mail distributed dur
ing tie night. The change will not
mean great deal to Kenosha people
as at the present time the mail comes
in On the paper train and is distrib
uted by the time most of the business
men get down town. Postmaster Ma
loney and his aids are not enthusiastic
over the new arrangement for until
the department. gives the postmaster
right to increase the number of
clerks it will be hard matter to
handle the midnight mails.
The men at the office are now pre-
pairing for the Christmas rush and al
ready the mails have begun to show a
big increase as a result of the Christ
mas business. The big work for the
Office will not, come before the week
before Christmas and at that time it
will be necessary to get several new
men on the clerical force. In the
meantime the Christmas packages for
foreign countries are beginning to
come in and this business with the
Kenosha office is always large one.
The Christmas mails for the foreign
countries will close long before the
holidays and this will give the clerks
at the Office a chance to get cleaned
up before the big domestic rush starts.
Postmaster Maloney is sending out
the usual warning to patrons of the
Office urging them to have their pack
ages ready for mailing as early as pos
sible and telling them to register all
valuable parcels. There have never
been any big losses of parcels in Ken
osha during the holiday rush but it is
possible to make assurance doubly sure
| by registering the parcels.
The carriers expect the usual big
business this year but the extra car
riers will not be called into service
until couple of days before Christ
mas.

Any one who has no pity for the I'M
fortunates already suffering from tuber-
eulosis and therefore has no desire to
assist in their care and cure can invest
in the holiday seals being sold to re-
plenish the treasury of the Wisconsin
Anti-tubereulosis society with a clear
conscience regarding the expenditure as
another form of life insurance merely.
Every case of the white plague properly
cared for and every effort made by the
society along educational lines decreas-
es the chances of the spread of the dis
ease just that much. Every cent raised
by the sale of these seals is devoted to
the purpose Of the society and no in
diTidual benefits one cent by the sale.

The coming of the first cold snap
caught the horse owners unprepared as
usual and there was considerable suffer-
ing among the animals in consequence
not only from the cold wind but also
from the strain of slipping on the icy
streets due to the horses not being
sharp shod. To their credit it may be
said that as Z general rule the owners
of most Of the work horses in Kenosha
take first class care of their animals
and it is only in exceptional cases that
the humane society has to make an ex-
ample of some cruel owner.

A Valuable Bulletin on Soup
pernong Grapes.

The North Carolina expert
ment station has just issued a
very important bulletin on self
sterility of the scuppernong and
other muscadine grapes. The
results reported in this bulletin
show conclusively that these
grapes are self-sterile, that is,
will not produce normal fruit un-
less fertilized by pollen from
male grape vines. These results
were obtained by (1)covering the
branches during the blooming
season, (2)a study Of the germi-
mating flower Of the pollen, (3)
microscopic study of the dry pol
len, determination of the struct-
ure of the flowers, and (5)the in
fluence of male pollen on the
crop.
The second part of the bulletin
discusses the application of these
results, 1t deals with the kind.
OF male vines to plant, where to
plant them for best results, ane
the number of such vines re
quired in a vineyard. 1t ais,
discusses the influence whicl
t weather and pruning have on tn,
yield. One Of the most valua
bic subjects treated is that deal
ing with the growing of thes
grapes from seeds.

Under the caption Then and
Now" The Robson Anvance
subrlj.s some remarks about the
dife e. ce in the prices oi farm
produce under Democratic rule
and rov. Recently the Green's
boro News expressed a desire
for some Democratic paper to ex-
plain "the Democratic claim that
the tariff has increased the price
of what the town man must buy,
but that it is not responsible for
the increase of the price of those
things which the man on the farm
has to SELL" The Norfolk Vir-
ginian Pilot says that when it has
more space and leisure at CON-
mand it will furnish the explana.
ton desired, which it declares to
be dead easy,'' I'm the mean
time" says The Virginian Pilot,
"it is sufficient to direct the at
tention of our contemporary to
the fact that the chief things
which the man on the farm has
to SELF are the staples, wheat,
corn, cotton. barley,rye and oats.
Of each and all of these theUnlt-
ed States produces enough fot
home consumption and a surplus
for export. Will The News kindly
explain to US how a tariff. high
or low. could possibly affect, ir
one wav or the other. to any ex'
tent. the price in the domestic
market of natural product Of
which the country grows a sur
plus over and above the demands
for home needs?"
Instead of indulging in glitter
ing generalities, will The Ad
vance kindly assay some explana
ton of the same?

it was mistaken when the returns
