Auto Owners Asked to Join
With Farmers i'm Effort to
Secure Better Roads
MOVEMENT TO Be STATE WIDE

Efforts are being made to form an
alliance between farmers of Kenosha
county and automobile owners in the
city and county with view of secur-
ing better care of the roads and the
plan is to make the alliance an offens-
i've and defensive one with view not
only of securing the building of better
roads but the better care of the roads
now existing in the county. In keep
ing with the suggestion circulars are
being sent out from Milwaukee to both
the farmers and the automobile owners
and it is understood that the effort to
improve the roads is part of state
wide campaign planned by the Wiscon-
sin Automobile club. In this circular
it is declared that the automobiles are
to be blamed great deal for the con-
dition of roads in this season of the
year. 1t is claimed that the country
roads in many places are unfit for the
use of automobiles and that the use of
them by the owners of motor cars
makes it almost impossible to put the
roads in shape for the good weather.
The farmers claim that if the auto
mobile men would keep off the roads
at this period of the year that the
roads would not need great deal of
repair and they claim that the great
objection to the roads at this time is
due to the unwarranted use of them
by automobile owners. It is claimed
by the farmers that in some places the
roads which are deep in mud have been
used for testing purposes and that they
are so cut up by the automobiles that
it will be impossible to get them in
shape for the spring and summer traf-
fc. The plans for the carrying out
of the movement for better roads are
yet to be worked out and it is the idea
Of the state organization to form coun-
ty organizations with a community of
interests between the farmers and the
automobile owners. It is thought that
Kenosha county will be one of the first
counties TO respond to the call as the
automobile owners and manufacturers.
in this part of the state have shown a
willingness to meet the farmers half
way in any movement for the securing
of better roads. 1t is certain that the
Kenosha automobile owners will give
their financial and moral support to
any movement to aid the officials of
the different towns in working out the
difficult problem of improving the roads
of the county and keeping them in pro-
per repair

WELL sCHOOLED IN DEBATING
Judges by Vote Of Two to One
Award the Honors to the State Line
Schooi-Kenosha Boys Make Good
Showing but Lack Practice

! The Kenosha high school debating
team went down to defeat on Friday
evening in the first joint debate be
| tween the Kenosha and BelOit high
schools held at the auditorium of the
high school and crowd of more than
five hundred people was present to wit
ness the defeat of the KenoSha team.
The question for debate was:
Resolved that the Commission Form
of City Government, as used in Des
Moines and Galveston, be adopted by
cities of Illinois and Wisconsin hay
ing population of between 1900 and
5000.
(a) Salaries of Commissioners pro-
portioned to the size of the cities.
(b) The affirmative has the right to
present the best features of the char
ters of the two cities.
(c) Constitutionality conceded.
| The visiting speakers showed plain
ly the value of the experience they
had in meeting the debaters of the
GAINESVILLE high school and the Kenosba
boys while defeated got some valuable
pointers on joint debates which may
show the way for victories in the fut-
ure. The decision for the Beloit team
was not a unanimous one as one of
the judges favored the awarding of
the victory to the Kenosha speakers.
The decision was popular one with
the crowd as even the most ardent sup
porters of the Kenosha team could not
| but recognize the fact that the Beloit
debaters showed more experience in
handling the question.
President George II. Curtis of the
Kenosha board Of education presided
at the debate and the judges were
Judge Perry f. Persons and Principal
Stebbins of Waukegan and Attorney
David Jackson Of Chicago. Each of
the speakers was given ten minutes in
which to present his argument and
three minutes were alloWd the speak
ers for rebuttal and the closing of the
argument. Ben Buckmaster was the
first speaker Of the evening, Kenosha
defending the affirmative of the ques-
ton. He had as his colleagues in the
debate Paul Windesheim and Robert
Lilley. Milton Thompson was the real
star debater of the winning team and
he was ably supported in the presenta-
tion of the argument against the Com
mission form by Robert Erving and
Theodore Lipman.
The debate showed that the students
of both Of the schools had made deep
study of the Commission form of gov
eminent and its benefits and its evils
were presented in an eloquent manner.
The question proved to be decidedly
interesting for the audience and the
people took real interest in following
the arguments of the different speak
ers. The applause that was given
showed that the crowd was decidedly
favorable to the commission form.

ISSUES STATEMENT
TO QUIET RUMORS

New York, N. Y. Aug. 1s.-President
Lovett, of the Union and Southern Pa
cific railroads, authorized the follow
ing official statement late yesterday
afternoon:
Ordinarily it is not the function of
a railroad executive to take cognizance
of stock market conditions and I am
specially averse to 1t, but during the
last 10 days Union Pacific has been
singled out as the object Of such an
extraordinary number Of baseless ru-
mors that 1t seems to me due our
stockholders, whom such stories are
designed to disturb that I should state
that there are no dissensions whatever
in our board of directors; that the
management from top to bottom is
perfectly harmonious: that a change in
the dividend rate has not been dis
cussed or in any way considered and
aside from some arrangements Of
and additions to our organization as
sometime ago recommended and
which in due time will be made no
action has been taken or is contem-
plated out of the ordinary"

nection with the Ell Tovar hotel and
other points of interest along the rim
OF the canyon, at g. cost of $40, 00O
When completed it will stand as the
most wonderful scenic highway in the
world.
At present one can travel along the

two and a half miles; with the addi-
tional six miles Of new road the drive
will be a little less than 10 miles
At the west end Of the highway
magnificent stone structure will be
erected as rest house," a large
collection of curios, paintings and pho

ADVANCES HELD Up
DURING MORNING
TRADE HOURS
United States Steel Offered
Freely on Each Burst
of Strength

New York, n. z, Aug. 18.-Advances
held quite generally during the early
session, subject to small short recess
sions as the short interest manifested
a renewal Of activity.
The Union Pacific statement was
undoubtedly a factor in checking the
decline. So far as could be seen. how
ever, it was not productive Of any
considerable amount of investment
buying.
United States Steel was offered for
sale on every fresh outburst of
strength and this fact was associated
with the proposed tariff revision In
the steel industry. The critical labor
situation in England was reflected in
some selling from London. The one
feature of the bond list was two
point decline in American Tobacco
As. The bond market generally was
steady.
The market closed strong. The en-
tire active list moved up to higher
level in the last hour. Especial
strength was shown by Union Pacific,
Reading, Lehigh Valley. Atchison.
United States Steel and in fact all the
speculative leaders. The movement
was more sustained than any of the
day and resulted IN numerous net
gains of two to three points.
