There's No Place Like Home.

A keen observer of business condi'
tions is authority for the statement
that nearly every moderate sized town
and village in the central states act
ualIv needs houses to quarter its peo-
ple. The boom in far distant land
schemes, now on the wane, has taken
money away from home, the westerne1
investing in the east and the easterne1
in the west. There is a lure about
things distant that the average man
finds it hard to resist. Distance lends
enchantment, especially when proper
ly played up by the skilful advertising
writer working for an ingenious land
promoter.
No one can deny the wisdom of land
investments when the investor buys
land for home for cultivation and
sRtual development. But much Of the
money placed in circulation by land
schemes during the last two or three
years has. gone into property which the
buyer knew nothing about beyond
what he read in prospectus. This
sort of investment" as a rule, is
gone forever and the experience IS ex-
pensive.
Now that The land man has harvest
ed his crop it is time for every com
munity to get back to first principle,
to develop the home place, to build
houses and improve the farms and pro-
mote the welfare of the home COM
munity.
To do all this there will be no better
time than the present. Money is plen-
tiful. Invested in a home it can not
get away. Put into farm improve
ments it will return dividends. Truly,
"there Is no place like home" when
it comes to laying by safely the saw
ings that are to provide for a rainy
day. Every move that tends to make
the home community better is a move
in the right observation-disclosures.

new DUTY OF FRATERNALIsM
Rev. Fred Ingley, Rector Of the
Church Makes Strong Plea for High
er Standards of Life Among Men in
the Great Fraternal orde1.

Members Of the Modern Woodmen
of America attended church at st.
Matthews church on Sunday evening
in recognition of the celebration OF
tMother IS Day. which is one of the
leading days on the calendar of the
Modern Woodmen. The service at the
church was one of the most notable
ever held for any fraternal organiza-
tion in the city and it was featured
by special music by the choir and by
a sermon by the Rev. Fred Ingley, rec
tor of the church, which attracted in
terest among all the members of the
order
More than a hundred of the mem
beers of Pike Woods Camp met at
the hall and marched in a body to the
church and the audience taxed the
capacity of the church.
The sermon by Mr.. Ingley was one
particularly interesting for men and
i'll it he made strong plea for the
religious life for the man as well as
for the women and children of the
family.
lie declared that the times were
changing and religion was now recog-
nized as being for the man or the
house as we'll as for the woman and
the children. He held that every
man owed duty to himself and to
the community to stand for righteous
ness. He held that there were now
five gospels and that the last was the
most important in all as it was the
individual expression of the religious
life.
Mr.. Ingley spoke especially of the
observance of Mothers Day and paid
tribute to motherhood and declared
that the mothers must recognize their
responsibility. He declared that it
was the duty of the mother to instill in
the mind of the child it's first religious
training and that the lessons taught
by mothers were the most lasting les
sons of a life. He spoke of the re-
sponsibility of the training Of the child
as resting not only on the mother, but
also upon the father and found in this
parental responsibility the greatest ele-
ment in the development of the child.
In closing Mr.. Ingley made a strong
plea for higher ambitions and higher
lives among the men Of the nation. He
spoke, of. the fraternity that existed
among the members of the Woodmen
order and declared that this fraternal-
ism could find it's highest duty in
pointing men to the higher life and in
the uplifting of the race.
The service was a most pleasing one
and those who attended carried home
with them a new and higher lesson
of the fraternalism which leads to the
universal brotherhood Of man under
the fatherhood of God.

COMES FOR CHILDREN.
Mrs. D. France Would Pay All Elk.
penses of Children if Returned.

Mrs. David France of Gary, Ind,
who wrote to the police some time ago
in an effort to secure. the custody Of a
son and daughter of her husband now
held in well known families of Keno
sha, came Ito Kenosha on Sunday and
made a visit to the daughter. France
did not accompany his wife to Keno
sha. The wife declared that she was
satisfied that the children were being
given excellent homes, but she declared
that she and her husband were anxious
to have them at their own home. Mrs,
France was a nurse before she married
France and she declared to the police
that she would give the children the
same care she would give her own
children and that she and her husband
would be willing to pay any reason
able claim for the care of the children.
She returned to Gary without either
of the children and it is not probable
that they will be turned over to her
without a fight in court.

Sent to Waupun for One Year.

Ludo Puzo, the Italian captured a
week ago IN a chicken coop on South
Oak street and charged with burglary,
appeared before Judge Randall in the
municipal court on Saturday afternoon
and pleaded "guiltyo to the charges
against him. He was sentenced to a
term OF one year in the state prison
at Waupun. Puzo declared to the
court that he had just come to Keno
sha from Beaver Falls, Pa, and that
at the time he got into the chicken
coop he was under the influence of
liquor. He said that he was looking
for place to sleep. The evidence
showed that Puzo had broken the lock
on the coop when discovered by the
people OF the neighborhood. He was
taken to Waupun this morning.

The first thing noticed by the motor
cycle squad Of the police department.
which is to have charge of the en-
foreement Of the speed laws and of the
regulation of traffic on the streets of
the city generally was the large mum,
ber Of automobiles travelling without
tail lights and the owners of all OF the
machines were ordered to provide
themselves with the lights without de-
lay.. 1t is admitted that there is a
difference of opinion as to the proper
construction of the state law in regard
to these lights, but the police believe
that all machines can be forced to car
ry them if not under the state law then
under police regulation and if nee
essary an arrest will be made and
the powers of the police tested in the
courts This is as good time to test
this question as any and if an honest
effort is to be made to control the
autos within the limits of the city
the rights of the police must be clearly
defined. But while the squad is work
ing alone this line is can go further
and force all bicycles and motorcycles
using the streets to carry lights. In
the opinion of many people it is OF
much more Importance that the cycles
carry lights than that autos carry
them. The use of tail lights on an
automobile is largely for the protec-
tion of the people in the machine and
to prevent other vehicles from running
into them from behind but the pedes-
trians would get the benefit of the en-
forcement of the law against the cycle
riders. The motorcycle squad is or
gani2ed primarily to enforce the speed
laws, but it can do much for the safe
ty and comfort of the public along
the line in which it has started work
by enforcing the law in regard to car
rying lights against all alike.

The state civil service commissioners
are much encouraged over the pros
poets for the state civil service exams
nations to be held in June and the
indications are that with the slowing
up Of general business, positions in the
state pay roll will no longer go beg
ging and that there will be & larger
number of candidates for every place
ON the civil service lists enabling the
commission to make up long list of
eligibles from which to fill vacancies.
The change will be appreciated by the
commission and the list of places open
is certainly diversified enough to appeal
to large numbers of people covering
as it does about every kind Of a job
between day laborer and teach. The
man who is looking for a place on the
state pay roll and cannot find one that
he thinks will suit him in the list for
which examinations are to be given
must be hard to suit.

Until the veterans of the e.. A. r.
shall have passed away, their claim to
Memorial day should be recognized as
paramount. They should not be ex-
pected. to play second fiddle or to di-
vide, the honofs of a day which would
not have existed but for them, with
shows and games.
1t is hard to prevent the perversion
of holiday. It's significance is lost
sight of and it is turned to ineonsis-
tent uses. The degeneration of the
Fourth of July is the strongest in
stance. It should always have been
kept as the birthday of the nation. Il
was allowed to become a day of
abominable noise, mutilation, and
death-Tetanus day.
There has been a change for the
better of late. The patient efforts to
make the Fourth sane and safe are
rewarded by an increasing measure of
success. The first of our national holt
days is being redeemed. There will be
less gunpowder and more patriotic
pageants and festivals. Thus will the
children learn the true meaning of the
day.
While rescuing the fourth from base
uses we should not forget to conserve
Memorial day. 1t will remain after
the last Grand Army post shall have
ceased to be. It will remain as long
as the nation, the preservation Of
whose unity it commentaries, shall en-
dure. Into its observance there should
always be infused much of the spirit
of unfaltering patriotism Inevitably
| it win be for many the mere day of
rest from labor-the mere holiday
it is now, but its appropriate observ-
ance, "bequeathed from bleeding sire
to son. should never be overslaughed
by parades or pastimes which do not

NAME AN ADMINISTRATOR.
Heirs of Fredson to Give Bonds Pend
ing His Being Declared Legally Dead.

Ing his Belng Declared Legally Dead.
In the county court this morning
Judge George w. Taylor granted adj
ministration for the estate of Jorgen
Iredson who disappeared more tIan a
year ago and Samuel Fredson, a son,
was named as administrator of the
estate. 1t is understood that no effort
will be made to close up the estate,
but the court held that in order to
take care of the estate and particular
ly the personal property, that an ad-
ministrator should be named. The per-
sonal property will be divided and the
heirs will be forced to give bonds to
insure the return of the property or
its value in case the father should
ever turn up or be found. A. f.
Buckmaster was named as guardian
for Anders Fredson who is missing and
he consented to the administration of
the estate for this son.

It looks very much as if there was
very little basis for the scare of the
Waukegan people over the report that
the powder company was seeking a
location near their city. What the
company is seeking now is seclusion
and quiet. 1t is not hunting any furth-
err troubles at this tine, having all on
it's shoulders that it can conveniently
attend to just now. For all practical
purposes it already has a plant at
Pleasant Prairie that is better than
anything it could get in this section at
the present time and in the present
state of public feeling it is not likely
to abandon its holdings there and take
the big loss that would follow such
action without better assurances than
can be given at present that it would
be allowed to operate as it pleases just
over the Illinois line. The company
is playing a waiting game and that is
the only kind that it can play safely
at present. It must see what can be
done and how it can operate under the
law regulating the manufacture of ex-
plosives in Wisconsin now being put
through the legislature at the demand
Of the people of this county and the
company is not likely to make any
moves which would in all probability
stir up hostile legislation in the neigh
boring state, of Illinois until after its
position and privileges are definitely
established in Wisconsin. There will
be time enough after it is certain that
the Pleasant Prairie plant cannot be
successfully operated under the law
to decide ON new location. AS a
matter of fact the company would
have little difficulty in securing all of
the land it wants almost anywhere
The offers which follow every rumor
Of change of location show that very
plainly.

HARD STANDARD FOR MANHOOD
Standards Set by the Young Women

A very interesting and unique serv-
ice was held at the Park Avenue M.

of the PASTORS address was: "The
Model Young Man.

eighty-one young ladies of his congre-
cation the following letter:
Kenosha, Wis.,, Jan. 10, 1911.
Dear Friend:
In the near future I desire to pre-
pare a Sunday evening sermon to
young men. In order to secure the
very best results I desire to have
the cooperation of the young ladies
of my congregation.
[ have addressed this letter to three
score or more young ladies, asking
them to answer as soon as possible,

believe that your answer will be help
full to me, ask that you may give this
your careful consideration and return

your answer may be used to furnish a
point.
Your cordially,

The board of education took up the
very important matter of engaging the
teachers for the coming year at its
meeting Tuesday evening and it is a
matter for congratulation all around
that few changes will be made in the
teaching force. For the teachers be-
cause their work has proven so salts
factory that the board is ready to re-
new their contracts and for the schools
because so many of the experienced
teachers are to continue their work
next year and the schools will have
the benefit of their added experience.
Some changes, of course, are inevitable
in teaching force SO large as that
in the Kenosha schools, but it speaks
well for the organization and efficiency
of the teaching force that the great
majority of the teachers are satisfied
with their positions and that the
board is we'll satisfied with their work.
AS for making these contracts with
the teachers at this time the boards is
not Gin hurry as one patron of
the schools who should have known
better expressed it, but is only acting
in common fairness to the teachers for
if any them are to be Z 'let out" for
any reason whatever they should know
it in time to make other arrangements
for the coming year and before posi-
tions which they might easily secure
in other cities have been given to other
teachers. The constant aim of the
board of education should be to place
all Of the relations between the city
and the teachers on a strictly business
basis and the early renewal of con-
tracts is a long step in that direction.
