She was his first client. Jim. the

gloomy young man at the desk.
They stood facing each other mo-
ment, she timidly; he hesitating wheth-

for he had waited for her these many
moons. But he didn't. He advanced
in his best manner and wrung her
hand.

Mr. Forester"
Certainly Sit down" Forester
used his finest chest tones.
There was something charmingly ir-
resolute about her. Besides being the
start of his fortunes, Forester felt a
purring satisfaction that she was a
girl, attractive in some kind of clothes
that suited her precisely. He drew up
chair and sat facing her across his
desk. What interesting train of events
had brought her to seek counsel?
Pardon me for intruding-I really

thing of your circumstances" She
glanced about the room. 1T is hard

Men Past sixty Barred as Jurors.

Coming as a surprise was the rul-

Spalding Superior court that all men
over sixty years of age were disqual-

asked:
Have any Of you gentlemen a le-
gal excuse for not serving on the

will be seen. This is the latest hit
that Manager Mort FL. Singer will pre-,

George Damerel late of the "Merry

leading role. A fascinating story is
built about an organization of young
men who seek to revenge fittings by
kissing the young women who have
wounded their hearts. In seeking re,

err of the club loses his own heart. Tho
Singer chorus surpasses all it's predeces

SHOWS GREAT GAIN.
Phenomenal Increase in Modern
Woodmen Membership.

Considering the general depression
which has existed throughout the
country for nearly year past, the Mod
ern Woodmen of America have had a
remarkable growth during the past nine
months according to a report made to
the executive council by Head Clerk
G. W. Halves of Rock Island. Up to
Sept. 80, the yea1 1911 had seen 109, 24S
new members added to the rolls of the
society, making the total membership
1,2l7,000. The increase is very close to
the record mark set during the first
three quarters of last year, and all
things considered, an equal growth is
shown.
Counting out those who were drop
ped from the rolls through death, tenn
porary suspensions and lapses, the net
gain for the nine months past is $4,000
and the total amount of insurance in
force was increased by the enormous
sum of $76,S0O,00o.
Seven hundred new camps were
chartered during the year thus far,
and there were $3.50 campssin good

soaring hotel proprietors from Texas to

public will have to be advanced, for ii
will mean that hotelkeepers must pay

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1911.

The session of the county board OF
supervisors which began today is the
most important the board has held in
years. Questions affecting the welfare
of the whole county must come up fol-
settlement and the success or failure OF
most important movements for improv-
ing conditions all through the county
rest upon the decisions Of the board.
First and foremost is the matter of the
system Of road improvement to be
adopted by the board and OF the plan
for proper supervision of the work In
this line to be undertaken by the board
Any mistake made in starting this work
may delay or hamper the road improv-
ment work in this county for years
but it is believed that at least ma
iority Of the members of the board are
fully alive to the Importance OF this
work and win do all i'll their power
to see that it starts off under the best
possible conditions. Next in import
ance in the estimation of those who are
interested in The campaign against the
white plague and this includes all
of the progressive people Of the county
is the proposal to establish a sanitarium
for the segregation of advanced case;
Of consumption either by this county
alone or in partnership with Racine
county. This is largely a matter Of
figuring on the cost of caring for these
unforGunates in the last stages of thc
disease. The time is at hand when the
public will demand that they receive
proper care and the principal source Of
the spread Of the contagion which is .
menace to the health Of every member
of the community rendered compare
lively harmless and it will eventually
be up to the supervisors to decide
whether it is better and cheaper for
Kenosha county to have its own sani
tarim or more economical for the
county to pay the cost of caring for
them in some institution established
outside of the county. The third mat
ter in which large numbers of the peo-
pie of the county are deeply interest
cd is the establishment of a county
training school for teachers and it is
expected that this matter will be
definitely settled one way or another
at this session Of the board. It has
been before the public for a long time
now and the supervisors have had an
opportunity to gauge the feelings of
the people of their several towns with
regard TO it. The opposition to the
school may have been largely over

The sudden descent of real winte-

This should be done in order to insure
that there shall be no duplication of rc

receive what is needed to carry them
through the winter without actual suf
fering. The outlook at this time is no.
encouraging and there will be no more
than enough to help all who are going
to need assistance before spring if al
of the funds and supplies contribute
are well and wisely expended. There is
no better proof that central bureau
is needed than the fact that it has bee
discovered that there have been persons
cadging on the charitable organizations
of the city for years who are entitled
to no relief and it is to prevent thes
impositions that the people of the city
are urged to use the facilities and in.
formation offered by the Associated
Charities. There will be no more thar
enough to go around among the worthy
poor so that all may have proper care
if all unwarranted drains upon the
charitable organizations and individuals
are cut off by making the distribution
through the Associated Charities.
