State Gathering Of Women
Golfers Here to Set New
Record for State.
PROGRAM TO Be READY SOON
officials of State Organization Expect
Entries for Kenosha tournament to
Reach Record -Kenosha Club
Members to Entertain Lavishly.

The members of the Kenosha Country
club are making great preparations for
the annual tournament of the Wiscon
sin Women IS Golf association which
opens OF the local links on August IA
and continues for three days. 1t is ex-
pected that the tournament this year
will be the most notable gathering of
women golfers ever held in Wisconsin.
It is the first time that the associa-
tion has come to Ken osha for a tourna-
ment and members of the local cub are
taking a great interest in the plans.
There will oe many social events in
connection with the tournament and
the women Of the Kenosha club are
anxious to have the coming meeting
in Kenosha duplicate the success of the
ing the men golfers. The tournament
will be in charge of Mrs. W. ,Kohler of
Sheboygan, president; Mrs. FL. Ian
dauer Of the Woodmont club, Milwau-
kee, secretary, and Miss Harriet Cole of
Kenosha, treasurer of the association.
The program for the big gathering has
not as yet been made public, but there
will be games for all the women who
care to come to Kenosha and the
matches will be arranged in such a way
that there will be something for the
women who fail to get into the cham
pionship lists. The first day Of the
tournament will be given over to the
qualifying round for the state cham
pionship and the first round of match
play in the various events. At the
close of this day it is expected that
there will be q sufficient number of
players eliminated to make the novelty
events possible.
Handsome trophies are to be open for
competition at the Kenosha tourna-
ment, for in addition to the trophies
offered by the state association there
will be many prizes offered by mem
bers Of the Kenosha club It is ex-
pected that fifteen clubs in the state
will send representatives to the tourna-
ment and the committee in charge is
hopeful that there will be at least sixty
entries for the state championship.
While the women of the Kenosha club
have not been very active on the links
in the past two or three years in other
cities in the state the interest of the
women in the game has been steadily
growing. The Milwaukee clubs are ex-
pected to send at Least thirty women to
contest for the state championship and
it is certain that there will be large
numbers of entries from Racine, She
boygan, Madison and Lacrosse. A meet
ing of the board of directors of the
state association will be held within a
short time and at this meeting the for
NAL plans for the tournament will be
arranged.
The grounds committee of the Keno.
shs CLUB will make every possible effort
to have the Kenosha links in perfect
condition for the women and during the
days in which the match play is on the
links will be practically for the women
alone. The committees of the Kenosha
club to have charge Of the entertain
ment of the visitors will be announced
within the next few days.

SERUM rs READY.
State is Prepared to Assist Farmers in
Preventing Hog Cholera.


Serum for the prevention of hog
cholera which has been in course of
manufacture at the college of agricul-
ture of the University Of Wisconsin
during the past few weeks, is now
ready for distribution to the farmers
of the state.
The serum treatment is the only re-
liable means of controlling hog cholera
and owners of hogs, especially in those
districts of the state where cholera
took such a heavy toll last summer,
should lose no time in vaccinaring
their animals.
Some hogs are more susceptible to
the disease than others, but as there is
no way of determining the susceptible
ty of an animal, the only safe way is
to vaocinate all hogs before an out
break occurs.
The university authorities want to
render all the assistance possible to
those whose animals are in danger and
have employed a specially trained field
man to aid farmers in controlling hog
cholera. Serum will be furnished at
the price Of IL cents per bic cent?
meter, which amounts to about thirty
i've cents for a ffty-pound pig.

Chief O'Hare Friday evening at the re-
quest of the police department Of
Aurora, Illinois. He is wanted in that
city on charge Of grand larceny. The

SEEKS REFERENDUM ON RATES
Insurgents Of Order are Keeping Busy
Seeking to Get Matter Before Indi-
vidual Members of the Organization
Throughout the United States.

Wnen the new rates recently adopted
by the head camp Of Modern Woodmen
Of America 90 into effect it means a re-
serve fund in twenty-five years of
100000, GOO This is the opinion of a
leading attorney Of the order, and is to
be found in an article printed in what
is termed News Letter. published
by the executive committee Of the
Illinois assembly.
The "ENews Letter. is in the in
terest of the insurgent movement, and
u is published in Monmouth. Many
reasons are set forth why the rates of
the order should not be changed. It is
cited that large surplus will make an
old line insurance company out of the
Modern Woodmen, which is contrary to
the principles of fraternal insurance So
cities.
In fraternal insurance no man pays
his own death certificate, continues the
article, agreeing to pay the policies of
each other as deaths occur. The publ
cation holds that reserve fund is a
temptation to extravaganza and hard
ship on the membership of fraternal or
ders.
It is pointed out that death benefits
amounting to $105,736, 1878 were paid
out up to January /, 1912, and re
serve fund is likened to standing army
which is held to be unnecessary in
a free country The government did
not draw from a standing army to kill
secession, says the letter nor did the
Woodmen need reserve fund to pay
out the princely sum to benefciaries Of
the order.
A number of paragraphs are devoted
to the cause and some of them are re-
produced below:
It will be a monumental task to
secure poll of more than 100000
against the raise of the rates, command
ed by the Donahue bill But all mem
bers are aroused and it needs only
thorough organization to secure the
necessary majority. Only about one
third of the members have heretofore
participated in referendum vote.
There are three injunctional suits
started in Illinois against the head Off
GERS of the order restraining them from
increasing the rates and changing the
policy of the order. One is at Galena,
another at Springfield, and the third in
Knox county. The head camp has made
answer ia the Springfield court.
" All members of the M. w. A. are
urged to hold their membership. The
rates Will be adjusted to the satisfac-
ton of all. We are now in the warfare
for fraternal societies.
"a fraternal insurance society in
France is 729 years old. 1t is not a
reserve fund or old-line society. Eng
land has 1875 different insurance So
cieties.
eff Woodmen permit the new rates
to go into effect December 81, 1912, the
order will cease to be fraternal socie-
ty.
Members in every Woodmen camp
in the union are fighting for the life
of fraternal insurance, and each mem
Der is asked for fifty cents towards
defeating the Chicago raise of rates. =

Complaints Of speeding and recklessly
driven motorcycles have been altogether
toe frequent in Kenosha in the past,
but it is probable that recent acci-
dent to prominent citizen wiD be all
that is necessary to impress on the
police the necessity of regulating this
class Of vehicles. To a great many peo-
pie the cycles seem to be much more in
need Of regulating and much more dan
gerous than the automobiles, but some
of the riders have been permitted to

tent Of riding on the walks and with

scrach Cats VS.. Boomers.

The battle scared Scratch cats
returned from Marietta late last night
victorious, yet indicated. A
draw game was the result of yester-
lays battle Of the bats between the
Ardmore Felines and the Marietta
Boomers. For ten dusty innings the
Scratch Cats and the Boomers sway
ed back and forth across the diamond
shaped field of battle. The ten in
nings resulted in tie score of two
to two. Somebody played ball among
the cubs, somebody who will some
day be in one of the big leagues. A
score of two of two in a ten inning
game sounds more like league ball
than does a score of fifteen to nine
And some such score as the latter
has been the result of one league
game, at least. this season.
