To retire and move into town was the
ideal Of whole generation OF Ameri-
cation farmers. In many cases the
town was a rural village whose urban
advantages lay mostly in an opportun-
| ity to perch on the gaspipe railing in
front of the post-office and discuss
crops. or watch game Of checkers in
the barber shop. If farmers have
yearned to leave the country for that
mild taste of town life, can they won
der that their sons and daughters have
flown to the city? If the, old folks
found the farm SO dreary that they quit
the moment they were able, what must
lit have been to young people? The
farm that was only place to drudge
and save for the sake of getting enough
money to quit it could never com
+ pete with the city in attracting boys
and girls.
Lack Of knowledge made the farm
such place. Farmers should be decid-
eddy the best educated major class in
the nation. The diversity Of their bust
ness and the comparative isolation in
which they work and live require it.
Generally speaking, the city man has
somebody over him to map out a pro-
cess embracing all the latest improve
ments, and he draws education auto
matically from the crowd The farmer
who gains knowledge only through his
own hard, toilsome personal experience,
will probably be ready by middle age
to quit the farm for any place where
his back does not ache.
Now there is draft the other way.
Ii the Northwest, we read, the demand
for scientifically trained young farmers
exceeds the supply though twelve hun
dred dollars a year and upward is offer
cd for the services Of promising agricul-
tural-college graduates. The graduate
in law or medicine who can at once
command twelve hundred a year is
very exceptional. Those young men
who go to the farm with knowledge will
not be anxious to quit it. Successful
farming for them will not depend pri-
marily upon expanding the last possible
ounce of muscle and sailing down the
last possible dime. Ia their hands the
farm will become the ideal place to re-
tire to--not from Saturday Evening
Post.

COMMITTEE TO RAISE $4,000
Efforts Made to Secure one-Half of the
Amount Required from Towns for I'M
proving Lake Shore Road Both North
and South of the City,

Good roads movement IL Kenosha
county got big boost on Wednesday
when The Thomas B. Jeffery Company
started the fund for the Improvement
of the Lake Shore road with contri-
button of $1,000. The contribution
was the first gun of the campaign to
secure fund necessary to force the i'm
provement of the road by the State
Highway Commission. II. w. Jeffrey,
who announced the gift of the Jeffrey
Company, in speaking of it said: ''The
contribution to the fund was made by
the company because we are interested
in the building of good roads in Keno
sha county and because we feel that
there is a great demand on the part of
people who use roads for the improve
ment and development of the roads
leading north and south through Hhe
county. We are hopeful that this
movement will be a general one and it
was a pleasure for us to be able to
start the fund "
The plans for the raising of the
fund have been worked out by the di-
rectors of the Kenosha Automobile club
and an energetic campaign for funds is
to be made. The members of the club
are working in harmony with the town
boards of the towns of Pleasant Prairie
and Somers and they will seek to raise
more than $4,000 for the building of the
road. In the town of Somers the
amount to be raised in order to get
state aid>for the improvement of the
road will be 81 400 and it is expected
that one half of this amount will be
raised by subscriptions. In Pleasant
Prairie the amount to be raised is
So, 600. 1t wiz be seen that should the
club raise one-half of the funds neces-
sary, the amount of The subscriptions
must reach $4,000. People owning prop
erty along the sand roads are expected
to aid the fund by gifts in addition to
the amounts raised in the towns by
taxes and already several Of them
have notified the committee in charge
that they will be willing to aid The
movement financially.
Both of the pieces of road in ques-
ton have been included in the County
Highway System, but the two towns
have shown little desire to rush the inn
provement of these two roads. rhe
automobile men declare that these
roads are used more than any other
roads of the county and that there is
an immediate demand for their i'm
provement.
It will, of course, be impossible to
complete any of the work on these
roads this year, but the promoters of
the plan hope to have the funts in
such shape that they will be az e to
have the work ordered by the state the
first part of next year and that this
will insure the completion of the work
by the early summer of 1913.
The members of the committee plan
to make the solicitation for funds as
widespread as possible, and contribu-
tions in any amount viii be very ac-
ceptable to the committee in charge

NOT FOR KENOsHA.
Council Committee Declares That Filter
at Ashland Not Suited for Kenosha.

I
| Members of the special council COM
mittee at work on the liberation prob
lem, returned to Kenosha this morning,
after day Is visit at Ashland and they
hold that the Ashland filter is not
suited to the demands Of Kenosha. It
requires an acre Of land for the opera
tion Of the filter, which is of the slow
sand type" The filter cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 and it has
capacity Of 100000 gallons of water
IN twenty four hours. The water taken
from the mains at Ashland was found
to be nice and clear and it was declared
that it was SO percent germ proof. The
committee will rest until the middle of
next>Week when the members will make
the Ohio trip. No report Of the commit
tee will be sent to the council on Mon
day evening, but it is expected that the
report will be ready by the first meeting
in July.

There is no one thing that has added

enough advanced now so that the mem

the construction Of the wall have the
satisfaction of knowing that their work
is going to be credit to them in every

Reports are being sent out that all is
peaceful and serene again with the
Wisconsin delegation at the national
Republican convention, but the reports
are too numerous and circumstantial to

there is some very lively fighting ahead

strange and dangerous ATTITUDES.
Miss Emeleen Magoon, grand
daughter of All Fong, the famous
Chinese millionaire of Hawaii, is
the young lady who is credited
with the achievement of having
defed the steamers skipper.
Miss Magoon was SO mitch the
life of the ship that the nickname
of "The Lark" was bestowed
upon her.
The young womat1's defiance of
the skipper was not of such ma
ture as to warrant her being put
in irons. In fact, that astute ma
riner deemed it best to let her
have her way.
Wordzhad gone about aboard
the vessel that the captain had
frowned on ragtime dancing, and
while one of the dances was in
progress, a Chinese orderly came
to the merrymakers with a note
from Captain Nelson, which put
the official taboo.on the entertain

Warner found widespread feeling
that General Hall on the one hand

HIS SKULL
DENIED BY MEN
WHO MAKEESCAPE

Struck down from the rear. while
walking along a private lane. leading
from Frank Vernons ice cream
factory TO Vernon's pavilion, al Clay
mont, on Saturday night, Charles
Ottey aged 45 years, had his scalp
laid open and his slfll dented. Ottey
had left his home az o'clock and
was within one hundred feet of the
pavilion when he was assaulted.
Nothing was known of the assault
until $50 o'clock. when weak from
loss of blood. Ottey staggered into
his home on Naaman's Greek road.
His wife called John Graham, a
neighbor. and word was sent 10
Vernons Those who gathered at the
grove started a hunt for the mans
assailants, but they were not found.
After trying to secure medical at
tention in the neighborhood, without
success, Frank Vernon started for
Chester IN an automobile to get
physician. Or. Gray was located and
a record-breaking run was made TO
Ottey's home. Dr. Gray took several
stitches in Ottey's head. and while in
a serious condition today, it is thought
he viii recover.
