The notices sent out to all owners
of motor vehicles in the state some
time ago warning them to make their
applications for licenses early in order
that the papers might be secured be,
fore the first of the year had good
effect but there are thousands OF au-
tomobile owners and riders Of motor
cycles still to be attended to before
January l. The state bureau in charge
of the issuing of the licenses has done
all that could be expected and more to
persuade owners to get their applica-
tions in early, but it looks now as if
there would be large numbers of own
ers liable. to be fined for driving with
out license during the first few days
of the new year until the bureau has a
chance to catch up with the thousands
of applications which will come pour
ING in in the last two or three days
1t is not enough to have made an ap-
plication for the license either, the
papers and number must be in the pos
session Of the owners.

The new deputy oil inspector while
disclaiming any responsibility for the
Objectionable features of the oil inspec-
tion law has expressed an intention to
enforce the law as he finds it and the
users of Illuminating oils and gasoline
who have been careless in living up to
the regulations had better ''put their
houses in order'' for visit from thai
official. The people who handle oils in
anv quantities have made themselves
familiar with the provisions Of the
law and it is said that all Of them
handle the oils in strict accordance
with the regulations, but there is
scarcely a small consumer OF oils IN
the city who is not liable to be check
cd up by the inspectors. 1t is said
that most of the automobile owners
who keep any stock of gasoline on
hand are open TO attack by the
inspector.

YEARS RECORD BIG
One Hundred Foreigners
Have Appealed for Citi-
zenship During Year.
MORE NATURALIZATION DAYS

Clerk of the circuit court, Benjamin
M. DeDeimar, has made up his report
on naturalization petitions for the year
ending the first day of December and
it sets a new record for Kenosha. In
the year there have been just one
hundred applications for second pap
ers in the county and this is nearly
double the number received in any
former year. Of this number of petit
lions ffty-six will be heard at the
special naturalization term of the cir
cult court to be held on February 16
and the others now on file will 90 over
to the term to be held on June 10 of
next year. It is expected that within
the next three months several hundred
applications for second papers will be
filed as the foreigners in the city are
all being made aware that they must
have their second papers to vote after
the first Of December of next year and
every man of them who has any
chance Of passing the government ex-
animation for second papers expects to
get in his petition so that it can be
acted on at the September naturaliza-
tion day set for September 10th. This
will be the last day for the papers to
be issued before the law goes into
effect. 1t is noticeable fact that
many of the people now seeking
papers are from European countries
and some of them have lived in Keno
sha county for upwards of twenty
years, but have never taken the trou-
bic to secure second papers on account
of the fact that they had the right of
suffrage on their declaration of inten-
ton and they seemed to take no furth-
er interest in the matter. Leaders
among the various nationalities in the
city are making canvass of their
friends with view of giving the wild
est publicity to the law and in some
circles regular schools have been open
ed by the foreigners themselves in
order that they may learn the things
necessary to get the second papers.

County Clerk Completes the
Work of Apportioning
Taxes in County Towns.
TWO TOWNS HAVE INCREASE:

County Clerk Russell Ell. Jones has
completed the work of making the an
nual levy and apportionment of the
taxes for the different towns of the
county and the city and the result
shows q slight reduction of the taxes
in most of the towns and for The CITY
The total taxes to be paid in the coun.
ty this year as state, county, county
school, relief of the blind, soldiers re.
lief and road taxes is $113,15536. as
compared with $115,S51.S4 levied last
year. The towns of Wheatland and
Pleasant Prairie are the only two in
the county showing an increase in
taxes over the amount levied last wear
and in these towns the increase is
small. In all the other towns and in the
city the taxes show slight reduction
over the amounts levied year ago
Where the taxes are increased the
fact is due entirely to increased val.
uation of the property. The taxes lev.
led against the various towns and the
city, as compared with the taxes levied
in 1910, are as follows:

Employers of women who are
new law limiting the hours of labor
for that class of workers cannot com
plain that they have not had sufficient
time in which to adjust their business
to the requirements of the law as it
was supposed to go into effect on
july /. Those employers who took the
failure of the industrial commission to
enforce the law from the start as an
indication that it was to be allowed to
become a dead letter and who have
drifted into the old ways again now
realize their error for the inspectors
of the commission are out on state
wide campaign for the enforcement of
the law and in every instance where
employers have been caught in viola
tions have insisted on fine being as
sessed. AS was anticipated, almost
without exception the large employers
OF labor have adjusted their schedules
to conform to the law in every par
ticular, but it has been found that in
many cases where but one or two
women are employed conditions have
been but little bett9red so far by the
passage of the law. 1t is the inten.
tion of the commission to enforce the
strictest compliance with all of its pro-
visions and there is nothing for en-
ployers who wish to avoid fines and
the attendant publicity to do but to be
prepared to pass inspection.

Five years ago the United States
took the lead of France in silk manu-
facture and now surpasses every
country in the world, with the posi-
BILE exception of China, for which no
trustworthy statistics are available.
In 1870 our output of silk goods was
twelve million dollars; in 1880, forty
one million; in 1890 ,eighty-seven mil
lien; in A900-panic and protracted
hard times having intervened-one
hundred and seven million; in 1905,
one hundred and thirty-three million
IN 1910, one hundred and ninety-six
million. In ten years the manufacture
oil silk has increased eighty-seven per
cent--or about four times as fast as
the population. One hundred and
eighty-six million yards of silk dress
goods, thirty-three million dollars
worth of ribbons and ten million dol
lars worth of laces are some of the
items-also, probably one million silk
hats for the collegiate youth of the
land. Fall River complains that the
trade in cotton goods is dull; iron has
been almost drug on the market; at
times people seem to be going without
shoes; and all of our many charitable
organizations report a chronic scarcity
of bread-but to the voracious demand
for silk, diamonds, automobiles, por-
terhouse steaks and seyen-room apart
ments in the very best localities there
