MILWAUKEE, CO. MAY BUILD
Burlington People Ask that Line Be
Built to Lake Geneva with Ultimate
Aim to Build the Line all the WAY
Through Lake Regions to Kenosha.

Petitions are now being sent to the
Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light
Company with view of having some
plan arranged for building an electric
railway west from Kenosha practically
vision of the Northwestern road. The
movement has been started at the city
| of Burlington and there the people
have petitioned the company to build
a line ten miles in length to connect
Burlington with Lake Geneva with
the ultimate end Of building from Lake
Geneva to Kenosna through the lake
regions in the western part of the
county.
The officials of the company have
taken the matter up unoficially and
have agreed to send surveyors over
the route and to make an estimate on
the cost of the building of the pro-
posed line. Now that the Milwaukee
company owns the Kenosha lines this
would insure them an entrance to the
lefty from the west and it would be
easier for this company to get right
Of way than any other company. The
preliminary examination of the propos-
ed route has been made by officials Of
the company and while the company is
not urging the building Of the road it is
thought possible that it might build
the road if proper influences are
brought from the people along the
right of way.
The Burlington people are enthusi-
astic over the line to Lake Geneva as
they hold that such line would be
a big benefit to Burlington by bring
ing into that city the trade from the
farming communities between the two
cities. They also see big boost for
! Burlington by the building of line
to connect the various lakes Of .Ke-
nosha county. The proposition Of the
Burlington people is not an ideal one
for business men of Kenosha, but at
that the business men here would
rather have the line and give Burling-
ton a chance to get trade from that
section than to be left without the
line entirely.
The Milwaukee company has shown
a willingness to build new lines where
ever the people could show a demand
for them that would result in pay
ing business and there is no doubt
but that there is plenty of money be-
hind the company to insure the COM
pletion Of the road The Kenosha In
dustrial Association will be asked to
formally take up the matter with the
company and it is possible that the as
ISOLATION will seek to secure line
direct west from Kenosha independent
of the Burlington and Lake Geneva
line.
The Northwestern company has
made no definite response to the de-
mand of more adequate service on the
western division and it is supposed
that the only recourse will be for the
people to 60 to the railroad commits
sion and make formal demand for
better service. The company had plan
ned to make some decision in ten days
but month has passed since the plans
of the industrial association We're pre-
scented to the officials Of the company
and nothing has been done.

HANDY HELPS
FOR MEN
by Papa Moss.

Quite a few men have written in
asking ways and means of acquiring
a little pocket money for their own
use. 1t is almost impossible these
spend from his wife without searching
through her pockets, and that is a
task in which too many men have
lost their minds. So it behOOveS us
who stay at home and can't get out
to do a woman's work to earn some
pin money outside.
Here is a little scheme I've found
to be practicable for picking up a
! few dimes and nickles. 1t is the cat
skin business. Cat skins are worth
10 cents for white ones and 10 cents
for black. If offers little expense and
is almost all profit. The scheme is
to feed rats to cats, skin the cats
and feed the cats back to the rats,
feed the rats to the cats, skin the
and feed the cats back to the rats,
leo the rats 10 tHe CdlS, ShlH Tilt
But you see the idea. don't you?
1t is kind of an endless chain. The
only break in the chain will be the
sale of the cat skins, and this is just
what o want. Start a rat ranch
Immediately. Rats multiply four
times as fast as cats. According to
that ratio. we will have four rats a
day for each cat. How will you feed
the rats? Simply feed them upon the
bodies of the cats after you have killed
and skinned them. 1t would only take
one-fourth of a cat per day for each
rat, which would be more than
enough. So you see it would be an
automatic and self-supporting bust
ness. All you have to do is to skin
the cats and sell them as fast as you
can. The cats will eat the rats and
the rats will a the cats, and you
will be getting the skins and the pro-
fits.
OF course. you've got to do the work
while your wife is out. If you let her
get wise she might take to going to

Before putting the baby in its bed,
stuff a towel in its mouth. II this
is not enoungh. wrap a bed quilt
around its head.
My baby is not very strong. What
can i do to strengthen her? Mrs. S.
Try feeding the little one onions
three times a day.
My little boy is quite fond of lob
ster salad, bananas, and hard boiled
eggs and often eats them just before
going 70 bed at night. | notice that
he is not so well lately. Shall l
deprive him of these things.
Perplexed.
The se~lfishness of some mothers
fairly makes my blood boil. By all
likes.
What can l do to make my baby
laugh? Mrs. Green.
Get your mother-in-law to sit on
a hot stove. | am sure her facial eX-
pressions will move the baby to
laughter.
Last week my two year old girl
swallowed a dollar. What can | do
to keep her from choking to death?
Worried.
| wish you had let me know sooner.
Try hanging the baby by its left big

weeks. If this does not locate the
money send me a self addressed en-
velope and | will advise you what to
do next.

HOURLY HELPS

Keep lemons on the ice to keep
them from souring.
Keep your meat scraps from week
to week, as they make lovely hash
when your mOther-in-law comes to
see you.
Don't throw away your old dress
ing sacks or wrappers. With a little
careful fixing. they make beautiful
parasOl covers.
You will find empty tin cans very
useful during housekeeping season.
Tie a number of them together and
tie them around your husbands neck
so that you can hear him when he
tries to sneak off.
Don't be discouraged if after a
hard days work. you find it hard to
20 to sleep, try putting a pint of
chlOrOform on a handkerchief and
place handkerchief over your face. If
this is not successful send me a self
addressed envelope.
Save your grocery labels. They
make a beautiful and inexpensive wall
covering for the baby's nursery.
When you have a great many left
overs invite your neighbOrS' children
in to eat them. | have always found
that the easiest way to get rid of
things.
When your fire refuses to burn.
pour a little gasoline on it.. Repeat
this until YOU are no longer able.

the club of evenings, which is a very
bad habit to let wives get into.
Speaking of club-gOing women, l
might say | have received a number
of letters from heart-brOken husbands
who can't possibly keep their wives
in at nights. A few have acquired
the habit of slipping in the front door
at three o'clock in the morning. 1t
is unjust, men. Let us take a firm
stand on the question and devise ways
and mean of putting a stop to this
which is slowly destroying
our home life.
If you have any suggestions to offer
or can tell of your own experiences,
We will be glad to publish them for
the benefit our brothers who bear in
silence when they are too meek to
protest. Remember, this column is for
mutual benefit.
| have found out that it is a very
good idea to keep a whisk broom on
the kitchen cabinet. 1t is good for
sweeping the flour back into the bin
after making pies, or for cleaning
your pipe, or for a dozen little neces-
sites that are continually cropping
out in culinary duties.
A subscriber writes in telling of a
new kitchen kimona he uses especially
to cook steak in. The kimona is
steak-cOlOr and is guaranteed to show
no stains if a steak takes a notion
of starting an aviation meet when
you go to turn it.
When the baby cries nothing is
better than a good healthy head Of
cabbage for him to chaw on. Or if
that is lacking. let him have :our
plug of horseshoe. He's got to learn
sometime.
If husbands would treat their wives
better when they come home from
work there would be less quarreling.
We must remember that our chief duty
is that of helpmate and to soothe the
aching body of the breadwinner when
she comes home perhaps cross and
irritated at having to wait for a car
or hanging by a strap forty blocks

EYES NOW TURNED
TO NORTH DAKOTA
tNatlonai News Assoc iattcn)

FARGO, \. D., Jan 11.---With the
assembling of the party leaders in
this city it is expected that before the
end of the present week some line ma
be drawn on the probable choice on
the Democrats of North Dakota for the
presidential nomination. From the fac
that North Dakota will be the first
state in the Union to declare its
presidential choice this year. the eyes
of both parties are naturally turned
in this direction. The primaries will
be held March Il. when both the Re-
puhlicans and Democrats will vote at
the same precincts AS in general
election and will declare their prefer
ence for the presidential nomination
by name. The Progressive Republi-
cans have been actively at work for
some time in the interest of the La
Toilette candidacy. but until the pre-
sent week the Democrats have shown
little activity. As North Dakota Is one
OF the strongholds of the progressive
movement ii is thought likely the
Democrats OF the state will incline
more to Woodrow Wilson than to Jud-
son harmon. though the Ohio governor
has many warm admirers.
