All of the people of the city who
can be depended upon to support pro-
jeets of the kind were stung in the last
promotion scheme for q Great White
Way" and they are the kind of peo-
pie who never fall for the same game
twice. They have joined the ''show
me" class and any one who comes
around with any further plans for The
building of any connecting links"
with Kenosha ON the route will have
to furnish the best of references be-
fore he can do any collecting that will
be worth while in Kenosha. Nothing
is known here of the men behind the
latest project for great automobile
highway through the state and though
all of the automobile owners are will
ing TO give their moral support to any
plans for the improvement of any
highway in the state that is as far
as they can be expected to go, at
present. Promotion stock will find a
poor market in Kenosha, but there is
no question but that the right kind
of company with the proper financial
standing and backing could get con-
siderable help in this city.

The legal contents of a bushel in
different states varies as follows:
OF apples, forty-four to fifty pounds;
of beans, ffty-fve to sixty-two; of
beets, fifty to sixty; of buckwheat,
forty-two to ffty-two; of onions,
forty-eight to ffty.seven; of peaches,
forty to ffty-four; Of pears, forty
five to sixty; Of sweet potatoes, forty
six to sixty; of tomatoes, forty-fve
to sixty.
That the legal contents Of man s
household may vary widely under the
statutes of different states is we'll
known. In order to tell when a ninety
day note must be paid you have to be
acquainted with the law of the. state
in which it is payable. Life and fire
insurance is affected in contrary ways
by statutes in different states. There
is no reason whatever for the bewild-
ering conflict in state laws upon many
matters which should, for the due pro
lection of the public, be reduced to a
common standard. Efforts are made to
bring about the adoption of uniform
code for certain subjects as to which
uniformity would be an obvious ad-
vantage to all and an injury to none;
but, broadly speaking, the efforts in
spire little enthusiasm among the legis-
lators- perhaps because, there is no
way of making politics out of the
movement.-Saturday Evening Post.

STATE TO COLLECT PREMIUMS
Local Officials of Fire Department Are
Hopeful that State Insurance De-
partment Will Be Able to Get Prem
iums from Mutual Companies.

The old time fremen of the city will
get their annual Christmas present this
week in the way of an order from
the volunteer fire department for the
sum Of 1925 as the annual meeting
of the trustees of the department was
held at the city hall ON Wednesday
evening and provision was made for
the annual division of the fund paid
to the volunteers from the collection
Of the two per cent Of insurance
premiums. The amount is not as large
as in other years as the volunteers are
now sharing the total fund with the
pension fund of the paid fire depart
ment. This year the total amount Of
the tax paid to the city amounted to
little over $1,000 and one-half is
divided among the volunteers. The
orders for the amounts will be issued
at once and sent to the forty six mem
bers Of the department. who are in good
standing in order that they may have
the money for use at Christmas.
There was little to come before the
session of the trustees. President
George Wallis, presided and the usual
number OF fines were assessed against
the members of the department who
failed to attend the annual meeting
held last January. The old question
Of the disbanding of the volunteers
did not even come up for discussion
and it is pretty certain that this ques-
tion is a dead one among the older
members of the department. and that
the volunteers will continue their or
ganization until the last one of them
shall be called by death.
This is the last year that the fund
is to be collected by the local officials
and in future years the two per cent
of the insurance premiums will be
collected by the state department. of
insurance and by this department
turned over to The various cities of
the state. The fremen are hopeful
that the state department. will see a
way to largely increase the fund by
the collection of a portion of the
premiums earned by mutual companies
doing business in the state. These
companies have always been able to
evade the payment OF the premium in
the cities, but it is thought possible
that with the department behind the
collection of the fund that it will be
possible to get statement from these
companies on which an assessment can
be made. AS in other years the man
ayers of several of the Kenosha man.
ufacturing plants have made contri-
buttons to the fund with view of
covering the amount that should be
paid on the mutual policies, but there
is no way of checking up these poll
cies and no way to enforce payment
of the amounts claimed for the fund.

There is no offense on that score.
