Why, in one single store the business of hundred stores IS done-savng the purchaser in the cost of every day commodities the Rent of the other nnetynne stores Only one advantage-great enough to name alone.
 Birmingham has one such store today-Loveman, Joseph Loeb has grown to its present greatness by Always Selling Cheaper.

With this issue the Telegraph
Courier begins its seventy-second year
of continuous publication and the pub
fishers cannot let this anniversary pass
without saying word in appreciation
Of the unwavering support which has
been given the paper from the begin
ming. 1t has been the aim of the edi-
tors and publishers of the 'old T.-C'
to give all the news Of the county and
its people at all times and it's files are
complete chronological record of
every event of Importance in the his
tory Of the county. The steadily in
creasing subscription lists are perhaps
the best evidence that the paper has a
place Of it's own in the life of the
community. 1t is interesting to note
that the paper is going to almost every
descendant of the pioneers of this sec
tion and that it is following the wan
dering sons and daughters of Kenosha
and old Southport week after week
into every state in the union and every
civilized country on the globe.

TOOK OFFICE ON MONDAY
Commission was Issued Late Saturday
Afternoon and the Appointment Gives
General Satisfaction to the Attor-
neys of the City

For the first time in the history of
Kenosha county a native son sat on
the bench of the county court this
morning. George w. Taylor, one of
the best known of the young attorneys
of the city, was named to succeed
Judge R. H. Slosson by Governor Fran
els E. McGovern on Saturday after
noon and his commission arrived Sun
day morning and Judge Taylor took
up the duties of his new office this
morning. The appointment of Mr..
Taylor is an appointment generally sat
isfactory to the members of the bar
in Kenosha and he was kept busy re-
ceiving congratulations of his friends
and associates in practice this morn
ing. In accepting the appointment of
county judge it is understood that
Judge Taylor will continue in the prac-
tice of law, but of course he will be
forced to give large part of his time
to the duties of the bench. Under the
law the judge will have perfect right
to practice in any court of the county
save his own.
The appointment Of Judge Taylor
came as surprise to many people in
the city, but the friends of the judge
had expected the appointment. The
members of the bar had met at the of
flee of Hastings & Clarkson on Satur-
day afternoon to take some action in
regard to recommending candidate
for the position and while the bar was
in session a telephone message came to
the district attorney announcing that
Mr.. Taylor had been appointed and
that Governor McGovern had signed
his commission early in the afternoon
and had forwarded it to Kenosha in
order that Judge Taylor might have
everything arranged so as to take mis-
place on the bench when the resigna-
tion Of Judge Slosson went in effect
this morning. Other attorneys Wh0
had been mentioned for the office hast
ened to congratulate the successful

BAYNE'S NEW
LAND MEASURE
Bill Aimed at Real Estate
Men Passes Senate.

State Senator Howard R. Bayne,
of New Brighton, the representative
from Staten Island, has had a bill
pass the senate at Albany which
makes false claims as to value or
description of real estate in newspa-
per advertisements or by letter or
circular, a misdemeanor. So great
has become the abuse of trusting
men and women who are swindled by
fraudulent advertising relative to
real estate in suburban localities adj
Jacent to New York city, that the
legislature, it is said, determined to
put a stop to 1t. The bill was in
troduced at the request of the State
Labor Bureau, who had received
many complaints from people who
have bought land in parts of Long
Island and other places that has
proved upon investigation to be
worthless. Much of this sort of ad-
vertising is done by circulars which
go through the mails and it Is prob
able that with this law on the statute
books of New York, it is believed that
the United States postal authorities
would aid in bringing guilty ones to
Justice who use the mails for this
fraudulent method of selling prop
erty. Under the law any person
found guilty of a misdemeanor may
be punished by a fine of $1,000 or
Imprisonment for oue year, or both.
