CLAIM PROFITS IMPOSSIBLE
Farmers Assert that Rigid Inspection
Being Demanded by tine Chicago
Authorities Makes the Dairy Bust
ness Improbable for Them.

The farmers in the western part of
Kenosha county, it is claimed, have
declared war against the milk inspec-
tors Of Chicago and declare, in view
of what they term the latest outrage,
that they will start to fatten calves on
the milk, rather than ship it to Chi
cago.
The latest outrage, as they term it,
was perpetrated the past few days by
two or three inspectors from Chicago.
It is alleged that these inspectors
went through the herds in Eenosha
county, admitting that the COWS were
in perfectly healthy condition and
that the stables were as sanitary as
could be expected, but demanded that
the farmer go to the expense of white
washing all the walls of the stables
The farmers claim that this will
have harmful effect upon the cows,
as well as bringing an added expense
on the farmers. They claim that if
the walls are covered with whitewash
that the stables will be lighter, that
flies will swarm into the stables in
large numbers, that the cows will be
harder to milk, and that they will give
less milk, owing to the annoyance of
the flies
These points, it is said, they argued
with the inspectors, but they declare
the inspector would listen to none of
them and reiterated his statement
that the stables must be whitewashed
The farmers declare that they are get
ting little enough from the milk deal
ers of Chicago as it is, and will not 90
to the extra expense and work fo1
nothing.
The farmers declare that they can
find better market for calves fatten-
ed upon milk, and obtain a much high
er price for them than they can for
the milk, and that it will mean much
less work for them. They clsim that
they will fatten calves on the milk,
and let Chicago do without their pro-
tion of the supply of Tactical fluid for
that city.
The feeling against the tuberculin
test and the inspectors runs high over
the county. The farmers say that
next the inspectors will be demanding
a daily bath, with perfume and soap
for each COW, a parlor, furnished with
upholstered furniture, strawberry short
cake for feed and three maids or man
servants to comb the hair or name of
every cow as it leaves the stable.

WINDS faint WATERS
Health Officialsof Milwaukee
Say Prevailing East Winds
Cause "Fishy" Water
DECLARE THAT WATER IS PURE

Water experts in Milwaukee and
other cities have come out in defense
of the ''fshy' lake water that is be-
ing served up at the present time and
complaints are being received in every
city along the lake shore. The of
fcials in Milwaukee blame the condi-
tion of the water to the prevailing
east wind and they assert that there
viii be no end Of the "fshy' water
until after the winds change and car
ry the fish out into the lake again
According to the explanations given by
these men these should be great days
for fishing as they assert that all the
fish in the lake are congregated along
the west shore. Kenosha people have
absolutely refused to drink the water
and hundreds of people are carrying
water from -artesian wells and as
many others are buying spring water.
Even the filtered water from the lake
The health department in Milwaukee
has issued a statement in regard to
the water conditions there with a view
Of allaying the fears of the people
of that city. In the statement the
commissioner of health says:
Prevailing east winds cause the
fshy conditions. When the wind re-
mains in the east for days it forces
the fish to the west shore and hence
the smell and taste. The board of
health cannot remedy the trouble.
There is only one source Of supply and
that from the lake. When the wind
changes to the west and remains in
that direction for few days. the CON
ditions will become normal. Examina-
tion of the water shows that it is alb
solutely pure.

SEEK NAVAL DESERTER.
Chas. III. Dennis Thought to be From
Kenosha Sought by Federal Officials.

Chief Of Police O'Hare has received
letter from the commanding officials
of the United States navy asking that
he make an effort to secure the arrest
of Charles Harris Dennis, supposed to
have formerly lived here, who is want
ed for DESERVING from the United
States navy. The man disappeared at
Portsmouth on June 18th. He enlist
ed at Chicago in 1909 and at that time
he declared that his step-mother was
Mrs. Lolita Melville of Kenosha. So
far as can be learned the man has not
put in an appearance at Kenosha and
the officials have not as yet been able
to locate any of his relatives in this
city. Dennis is a private in the service
and it is thought possible that he may
return here.

The quarterly report of the Wiscon-
sin State Board of Health for the
first three months of the year shows a
heavy increase in the death rate over
the corresponding period of last year,
but we are inclined to believe that
this increase in the rate as well as
the difference in the rate shown be-
tween the northern, central, and south
ern sections of the state is due rather
to greater accuracy in the reporting of
vital statistics than to any unusual
prevalence of disease. That is the case
In this county for a certainty and if
the Improvement in this respect is
general all over the state the board
OF health will eventually have data
accurate enough and complete enough
on which to base deductions and con
clusions of some value. 1t has taken
some time, but the reporting officers
of the counties are finally becoming
impressed with the necessity of making
complete returns which the board must
have if its statistics are to be worth
anything.

RUNS THROUGH FIELDS TO CITY
Pleasant Prairie People Spend Hours
in the Sloughs Seeking the Man and
the Little Child Who Were Finally
Found in kenosha,

People living in the town of Pleas,
ant Prairie in the neighborhood of the
Hannah Corners, had some real ex-
citement on Friday night when Jacob
Anderson, believed to have been made
temporarily insane on account of the
intense heat of Friday, fled from his
home, taking with him an eight months
old daughter. Clutching the little
child in his arms the man ran into the
sloughs in the neighborhood. This was
just after ten clock and within
half an hour half hundred farm
ers living in the neighborhood had
been routed from their beds and they
were securing the fields to locate the
man.
Anderson had been working hard all
day and in the evening it was noticed
that he had been acting queerly. He
retired at nine O'Clock and an hour
later he left his bed and putting on
his clothing he went to the crib where
the little girl was sleeping. The moth
er was awakened just in time to see
him dart out of the house with the
babe in his arms. AS soon as possible
she ran to the nearest house and arous-
ed the neighborhood. Telephone mes
sages were sent to Kenosha and Sheriff
Stahl secured a number of automobiles
manned with volunteers and sent them
out to search for Anderson and the
child. Men were stationed all long
the road, but they found absolutely
no trace of the missing man or the
child until long after midnight when
Anderson was found in Main street
restaurant He talked incoherently
but Sheriff Stahl finally managed to
learn that the little girl had been left
at a house on Edwards street.
At the house Anderson had declared
that his wife had left him and had
asked the people at the house to keep
the child until he could get another
place to put it. Anderson had evil
IDENTIFY ran through the, fields to Ke-
nosha as he reached the Edwards
street house just after eleven 'clock.
The little child was sleeping when it
was found by the officials and they
hurriedly took an automobile and took
the child back to the mother who had
feared that it had met with an acci,
dent.
Anderson was taken to the county
jail and he was still suffering from
Authorizations this morning. No
charges are made against him, but the
district attorney is investigating the
case.
The flight of Anderson with the
child caused the widest excitement in
the neighborhood and armed men were
all about that part of the town seek
ing to recover the child. Anderson
seemed to have no explanation for his
conduct and it is probable that an ex-
animation into his mental condition
will be made in the county court.

RESIGNS HIS POSITION.
Theodore Borup Gives Up Leadership
in State Humane Society.

in State Humane Society.
Theodore Borup, proprietor of Hotel
Eichelman, has resigned as president
of the Wisconsin Humane society.
Mr.. Borup remains as one of the TWEEN
ty directors, however.
Mr.. Borup was president Of the or
ganization five years, during which
time the society made considerable
Roadway as a progressive, live humane
The membership is $50,
and there are active branches in many
state cities. The headquarters are in
Milwaukee, and Mr.. Borup's reason
for resigning was that his business
demanded that all Of his time be spent
in Kenosha.
During the past year, principally
through Mr.. Borup's efforts, Fl. Lieb
Phillips, well known Chicago humane
worker, was engaged as superintendent
OF the Wisconsin Humane society.
There was need of more work along
the line of humane education, and
Supt. Phillips is especially fitted to
carry on this branch of the society IS
labors, as well as that of looking after
ordinary cases of cruelty to children
and animals.
Directors of the society at the July
meeting probably will pass resolutions
of regret because of the retirement of
Mr.. Borup.
John II. Kopmeier of Milwaukee,
first vice president of the society, will
probably be elected president.

Al. Ebert of Kenosha, president of
the Wisconsin State Bowling associa-

the secretary of the state organiza-

city for next winter. He feels now
that it would be impossible for him
to have charge of the big state meet.
In his letter of resignation he has

and that he will aid materially in
making the Racine tournament a great
success.

Agra, India.

Dear Bill:
Ever see an Indian bathroom?
They are slightly different from
ours. There is a tin tub about
three feet long lying like an is
land inside a low stone wall. There
is also low wooden bench or
stool on which tin cup and a
bucket are placed. At one corner
of the enclosure is a small hole
which carries the waste water to
the outside world. This, with the
addition of rail to hang a towel
on comprises the bathroom of the
average hotel.
Another peculiar Indian custom
is "Chota Hazri," which means
early breakfast or tea. AS soon
as one is awake he is brought a
pot of tea, toast and bananas. A
half hour later he is expected to
put away a mans sized breakfast
in the diningroom.
