To say that the lola boys, and Du-

One of our farmers is discing his
land both ways. with a 4-horse disc,
before breaking, another is discing
land already broken and will then
irrigate to store moisture for the
next year crop. We think this is a
good thing to try coming as 1t does
in the dead of winter where we till
the soil every month in the year.
We think this vicinity right here
at Hondale has a better example of
what can be done on a farm, in a
small way, than any place in the
whole valley. We refer to DR..
Bowens' fine farm one half mile
south. DR.. Bowen came here from
Texas last winter and put in l0-h.
p. engine and a "a inch centrifugal
pump, He then had ten or twelve
acres cleared and broke. On this
land the DR.. raised all kinds of veg
etables, juicy watermelons and some
5000 pounds of pink beans. He
balcd the hulls and also has a nice
rick Of bailed oats. The doctor did
all Of this work with one horse and
attended lot of patients thru the
season. We believe this demon.
strates what ambition and common
sense will do for any man in this
great Mimbres Valley. The pro
ceeds from the melon crop paid fol
all the fuel used by the engine.

The bars are down against the fallirs
and beggars and simultaneously with
the announcement that no more licenses
are to be issued TO the fakirs comes
an intimation that the rule keeping
the beggars off the streets is to be en-
forced. The change will come as a
welcome relief to most of the people
who were compelled to enter the bust
ness section of the city at times when
these two classes were working their
graft. The fakirs are not permitted
to operate in most cities, the excuse
for refusing them licenses being that
they draw crowds which impede traf-
fc on the streets. and they slid into
this city very quietly in the beginning
They soon discovered that there. was
practically no check on their opera
tions here, however, beyond the pay
ment of the small sum of one dollar
for a license and the word went out
that Kenosha was tfeasy' and the
fakirs swarmed down on the good
thing in large numbers. They came
so fast that they eventually killed
their own game for they finally be-
came such a nuisance that complaints
against them were made by business
men who can make themselves heard
at the city hall. The same way with
the beggars. They are not allowed
on the streets i'll most cities, but af-
ter the first few tried OUT condi-
lions here and found that they would
be permitted to "work' on the prin-
cipal streets they have been coming
In increasing numbers. Some of them
know just what days the factories pay
off and when the crowds are on the
streets and they only come on those
days when the pickings are likely to
be good. Their insistent demands for
"a little assistance have become a
nuisance especially as they do not be-
long here and whatever relief thew are
entitled to should come from their
own towns, Kenosha will have all it
can do to feed and clothe its own poor
without permitting it's charitably dis
posed people to be preyed upon by out
siders. The new rules are good ones
and should be enforced to the letter
and if the city has no ordinances I'M
der which it can get rid of these two
classes of parasites it should get one
without delay. The public and the
business men are entitled to protec-
ton.

WEDDING COMES AS SURPRISE
Even Close Friends and Business Asso-
ciates Had Not Been Advised of the
Approaching Nuptial Ceremonies
East on Honeymoon

Conrad Shearer, secretary of the Man

and one Of the best known of the
younger men Of Kenosha slipped one
over on his thousands of friends and
aGquaintances i'll Kenosha on Monday
afternoon when ne was married to Miss
Mary Elvira Berglin. The wedding
ceremony was performed at a little
church parsonage at Park Ridge, ILL.,,
by the Rev. j. L. Dixon of that village.
None of the relatives Of Mr.. Shearer
or his bride were present at the cere-
mony and the first that was known in
Kenosha of the marriage came with the
announcement in the Chicago papers
that the license had been issued in
Cook county. No word has as yet been
received from Mr.. Shearer and his bride
but it is known that they are on their
way east and will spend their honey
moon at Niagara Falls and at New
Haven, Conn, where they will be the
guests of Herbert Shearer, brother
Of the groom. Mr.. Shearer slipped off
to Chicago on Friday and secured Ii
cense for the marriage and an accom-
modating clerk held up the publication
CT the license until after the wedding
on Monday. Mr.. Shearer spent Sunday
evening with friends in Kenosha and
left Kenosha Sunday night going to
Chicago where he met Miss Berglin on

1t is comforting to know that an
examination of the heads of the dogs
which have bitten children in the city
recently, made at the state laboratory
at Madison, shows no signs Of rabies in
the animals, but it is too soon yet to be
sure that all danger of an outbreak of
hydrophobia is passed. Any of the
animals showing signs of illness should
be carefully watched. There is not the
slightest doubt that some of the animals
which ran amuck through the city at
The time of the first "mad dog" scare
in the spring had genuine cases of the
dreaded disease and while it is believed
that all of these animals were hunted
down and destroyed at that time, no
one can be certain that they did not
bite other animals which may de-
velop the disease at any time and no
prceaution to prevent another outbreak
should be neglected.

The Chicago Board of Health has
sent out what it calls Twenty Dairy
Suggestions to all of the dairYmen in
this and other counties which supply
the Chicago markets with milk and
milk products, but inasmuch as the
dairymen are to be given markings
by the inspectors of the board on the
matter in which they carry out the
suggestions and failure to attain GER
tain percentage viii bar their milk
from the Chicago market absolutely
The new notices practically amount to
a set of regulations which must be
rigidly adhered to by the dairymen.
There is nothing new in the sugges-
tions and they merely put in con-
densed and convenient form the in
structions previously issued by the
board and it is believed that the dairy!
men themselves will take kindly to the
new system of regular markings after
it has been given a fair trial. 1t is
certainly better and fairer to them
to point out where they are falling
short Of the requirements of the board
and give them an opportunity to rem
edy matters from month to month that
it is to suddenly bar them from their
market. This steady policing must re-
suit in raising the sanitary condition
of all diaries in the Chicago district
in which Kenosha is included and ar
rangements should be made by the To-
cal health department to receive the
reports on the condition of the dairies
in this county regularly for the protec-
ion of the consumers in this city. It
would not do to find that dairy whose
condition is SO bad that its milk is
barred from Chicago is disposing of its
product in Kenosha.

that the crowd this year will be the

that it will show that the efforts of
