WIN HoNoRs AT AURORA.
Drill Team of Yeomen Gets First Place
in Competitive Drill at Aurora.

The drill team of the Kenosha Coun-
Gil of the Yeomen of America covered
itself with glory at the national con-
vention of the order at Aurora, H.,
on Tuesday night winning first place
in the competitive drill against other
teams from various parts of the
country. The victory is made all the
more satisfactory to the members of
the Kenosha team on account of the
fact that they worked in strange
hall and the further fact that this was
the first time that the team had gone
into competitive drill. The team has
been working together but short
time and the work was carried out
with precision that drew great at
tention to the work of the Kenosha
council. Following the drill by the
team the officers of the local council
exemplifed the new ritualistic work
of the order before the hundreds of
Woman attending the sessions of the
national convention. The success of
the team and the officers in the work
has made Kenosha one of the leading
councils of the order.

KenOsha on Line of Road Pro-
posed to Run From Boston,
Mass. to Seattle, Wash.
PLANS HAVE BEEN PREPARED

Kenosha is on the proposed north
ern national highway which is to be
built from Boston, Mass, to Seattle,
Wash, and Charles Henry Davis Of
South Yarmouth, Mass, acting presi-
dent of the National Highway associa-
ton has written letters to parties in
this city seeking certain information
and desiring that those interested in
good roads act with the association.
In Chicago, Sept. Is to Oct. /, the
annual meeting OF the National Good
Roads association will be held and
delegates have been appointed from
this and other cities Of the state as
well as from the state at large. 1t
is believed that the two associations
will work together in an effort to OBJ
tain good highways.
The National Highways association
has been organized by men interested
in the question of good roads for the
single aim and purpose of securing
from congress proper legislation to
establish and maintain a system of
national highways. There are in the
United States at the present time up
ward of two million miles of high
ways, good and bad, mostly very bad.
The system of national highways pro-
posed by the National Highways asso-
citation and tentatively laid ont by its
engineers, completely covers the coun-
try from the Atlantic coast to the Pa
cifc coast and from the Great Lakes
tc the Gulf of Mexico, and from the
Mexican to Canadian border.
1t is planned to have trunk highways
built, owned and maintained by the
national government, built, perhaps
with state aid. but maintained with
cut expense from the states, counties,
cities or towns through which they
pass. Such roads are to be broad,
permanent, well made, and of uni
form degree Of excellence Of construc-
tion and high level of maintenance,
condition impossible to secure unless
the roads are built by one power, ma
tional government; under one plan,
that of proposed legislation in what
ever form it may take; for one pur-
pose, the unifying solidifying of
the road system of our country.
The plans for the proposed northern
national highway connecting Boston
and Seattle have been prepared and
it is understood will run along the
Great Lakes from Buffalo to Duluth.

SUGAR BETS SHOW INCREASE
Corn Still Leads in the Acreage in the
County With Cultivated Grasses as
a Close Second Statistics of the
Other Farm Activities

County Clerk Russell H. Jones for
warded to the secretary of state at
Madison today the annual crop Stats
ties showing the crop report of crops
raised in the county in 1910 and the
acreage of growing crops in the county
this year. For tho first time in many
years corn has been displaced as the
leader of the crops of the county and
the reports show that in 1910 there
was a greater number of bushels Of
oats produced in the county than num-
Der of corn. It is a notable fact that
the number of tons of sugar beets
raised in the county last year was
nearly double that of the year before.
The report shows that in the year
1910 Kenosha county produced 1881
bushels of wheat, 422,533 bushels of
corn, 613,579 bushels of oats, 69,9S9
bushels of barley, 16,06S bushels of
rye, 221 bushels of flax seed, S4,147
bushels of potatoes, SO bushels of APP
pies, 1910 bushels of strawberries, 548
bushels of rasberries, 25 bushels of
hlackberries, $50 bushels of grapes, Z
bushels of clover and 5 bushels of
timothy seed. The total tons Of sugar
beets produced in the county was 1889
and there were 30,250 tons of hay har-
ccster from Kenosha county meadows.
The report gives no account of the
number of tons of cabbage produced.
The report of the acreage of growing
crops shows that the farmers of the
county are raising greater acreage
of corn this year than any other crop
with land set aside for hay as a close
second. The acreage in the different
crops is shown to be as follows: Wheat
1881; corn 22,92S; oats 1899; barley
1876; rye SIG; fax 279; potatoes
1899; sugar beets 2,17S; grasses Gull
tivated for hay ELLA; growing tim
Der 6,s76 acres.
There are 1924 acres of apple or
chards in the county with total of
34,S20 growing apple trees. e. acres
are used for cultivation of strawber-
ries, IA for raspberries, liz blackber-
RIGS, grapes, Is acres of clover and 4
acres of timothy were harvested for
seed this year.
The report of the number and value
of live stock in the county shows that
there is a total Of 1878 mich cows
of the value of $349, $50; all other cat
tie 5,948 valued at $S7,349; horses of
all ages 5,265 valued at $401, 1888; sheep
and lambs 5,412 valued at $17,110;
swine, four months old or over 3,442
to the value of $23,221.
The most noteworthy feature of the
report is the fact that it shows that
more grain is being raised in the
county than in the previous year and
that the farmers are turning to what
is known as the regular lines Of farm
ing rather than specializing.

SMALL AMOUNTS FOR TOWNS
Report of che State Tax Commission on
Kenosha County Assessment Shows
Amounts to be Paid by the Various
Towns and the City.

The city of Kenosha may pay five
per cent less of the total county tax
in 1911 than the per cent of the local
assessment for 1910 as the report of
the Wisconsin State Tax Commission
has been fled with the county clerk
and it shows the ratio of the tax
to be paid by the city and county in
the assessment of state taxes.
The report which was received to-
day goes at length into the assessment
of Kenosha county by the state com
mission. 1t shows that the total
assessment. for 1911 is $43,015,736 as
compared with $32,2O6,22 the local
assessment in 1910 Kenosha county is
TO pay LAG of the total tax levied for
the state. The real estate assessment
for 1911 is 31,837,724 and $11,17S,012
is assessed against the personal prop
erty in the county. The ratio of the
local assessment in 1910 to the state
board s figures this year is 14.87 per
cent.
The assessed valuations made by the
state against the various towns and
the city as as follows: In each case
they are compared with the local as
made in 1910 and they re-
fer only to real estate assessments.

This Wolgast- Mcfarland fasco will
be about all for the boxing game in
Wisconsin under the present law. The
outsiders swarming in for piece of
the easy pickings denied them in their
own states were too numerous and too
bold, not to say fresh. 1t would have
been easy to keep on with local bouts
such as were started here and the clubs
could have kept pulling them off in
definitely without any inference, but
when the sports began flying after the
big game they attracted too much at
tention and stirred up opposition that
was too strong for them. That Aesop
fable about the dog and the bone
about fits the case.

FORMAL NOTICE IS EXPECTED
Members of the State Board Object
to Ventilation, to Blankets and to
Pillows and to the Fact That it is
Below the Grade.

William II. Graebner of Milwaukee,
a member of the Wisconsin State
Board of Control, came to Kenosha on
Wednesday afternoon and made an in
spection of the city lookup in the Ke-
nosha city hall and before he left Ke-
nosha he declared that the state board
would call the officials of Kenosha to
account for the lookup on account of
the fact that it was not in keeping
with the suggestions of the state
board. A formal complaint on the
lookup it is said will be laid before
the chief of police and the members
of the council within few days. Mr..
Graebner declared that the lookup was
too far below the level of the street,
that it was not properly ventilated
and that it did not have the proper
sanitary equipments. He declared that
all sheets and blankets together with
the pillows that have been furnished
the prisoners should be taken out and
that the hunks should be covered with
boards which could be washed every
morning after the prisoners had been
turned out. He insisted that the lock-
up was not a good one for the prison
ers from any standpoint and that the
state board of control would not ap-
prove it.
Notwithstanding the statements of
the state board official the lookup was
used by the police officers Wednesday
night and it will probably continue to
be used. At the time of the construc-
ton of the city hall the matter was
taken up with the president of the
state board who had a chance to look
over the plans of the building and who
was fully advised of the plans for the
building of the lookup. At that time
the president of the board stated that
the plans were satisfactory to the
state organization. 1t is claimed that
under the law the city was not forced
to submit the plans for the lookup to
the board of control as it is understood
that the lookup is not to be used for
incarceration of prisoners arrested on
charges Of violation of the state law.
Mr.. Braebner insisted that the city
lookup should be used only as a tramp
room and declared that Kenosha po-
lice officer had no right to place a
tramp in the county jail.
It is expected that the state board
will send formal letter to Kenosha
within the next few weeks and when
such letter is received it will be
given courteous consideration by the
officials, but there is no reason to be-
lieve that any extended changes will
be made at the jail.
