Kenosha merchants declared them
s44yes in favor Of better lighting for
the down town streets of the city at
the annual meeting of the Kenosha
Retail Merchants Association held at
the rooms of the association on Thurs
day evening, and a special committee
OF merchants was named to take up
the matter and with the special
committee Of the common council in an
effort to secure decorative lights for the
down town districts of the city. This
committee is composed of G. II. Good
man, FL. i. DeBerge and Simon Gott-
lieb and it will at once commence to
circulate petition asking the common
council to take formal action in regard
to the proposed lights. The discussion
of the Lighting problem was the most
important business to come before the
meeting Reports of the various off
GERS showed that the first year of the
association s work had been decided
success. w. III. Robinson, we'll known
Main street merchant, was elected
president of the association for the
coming year and the other officers
named were vice president, Henry F.
DeBerge; secretary, G.. D. Theleen;
treasurer, H. G. Hansen.
The light proposition is regarded by
the merchants as big proposition and
one which is most important for the
retail business of the city. The plan
as proposed is to use a decorative light
standard on Main, Church, Market.
South, Park and Wisconsin streets and
Market square. Tt is proposed to in
stall total of seventy-tWo Of these
decorative posts in the limited district
and the total annual cost of the lights
under ten year contract will be 81
S2l.l2. 1t is proposed that two-thirds
OF the cost of this lighting is to be
paid by the merchants directly bene
fitted and the remainder by the city.
The cost to the city would then be in
the neighborhood Of 81 ,607 year, but
the elimination of arc lamps in fine
business district would cut the net cost
so the city at large to only little over
$6lo.
The Wisconsin Gas and Electric com
pany have made a formal offer to fur
nlsh the lights to the city at this cost.
The proposition made by the company
is now in the hands of the special com
mittee of the council.

Onward Wilkes Farm at Jefferson
City has a nationwide reputation for
high class stock, and the name is a
guarantee for quality. Houchin was
born on a farm and seventeen years
of his life was spent in tilling the
soil, and the love for the life was so
deeply rooted in his mind and heart
that his one aim in his business ca
reer was the establishing of model
farm and stock it with pedigreed
horses, cattle, hogs and poultry. It
was many years after his entry in
business before he could accomplish
his desire, but by close application
to his vocation he succeeded in his
business and with the first fruits of
his success purchased a small farm
on the outskirts of Jefferson City.
He started in a small way as his cap
ital was limited, but the farming ex-
perience of his youth served him
faithfully and well, and the little farm
has grown to two thousand acres of
valuable improved land. One section
of the land is devoted to the shelter
ing of his long string OF pedigreed
horses. His stables are commodious;
over fifty box stalls, with all modern
improvements and appliances for the
comfort and care of the blue ribbon
steeds, line the wide and carefully
kept runways. A half mile race track

to bring about privation and want.
Sixth: The increase in the market
rental of farm lands occupied by ten
ants would bring about the financial
ruin of those now engaged in farming
leased lands.
Seventh: The increased market
rentals of city property would cause
many merchants and other occupants
If such properties to fail in business.
Eighth: The enormous taxes levied
ers in cities and towns to shun the
ownership of more ground than abso-
against ground would cause the dwell
lutely necessary for supporting the
houses in which they might live.
This would bring about the abandon
ment of homes surrounded by lawns,
and the tendency would be for poor
people to house themselves in tene-
ments rather than in detached houses.
Ninth: The destruction of the val
ue of land would occasion the destruc-
ton of all business and enterprise
now founded upon land as a basis.
Insurance companies, whose assets
are largely made up of farm mortg-
ages, would find their large resources
annihilated by one stroke. The credits
held by banks all over the country
would be rendered, in large meas
ure, valueless. The policies of insur-

ury to purchase land or even rent Q
let.
Through his daughter, Miss Ny
rene, the aspirant for the office Of
Governor heard of the movement.
Quietly seeking the officials of the
Civic League, Houchin made a tender
of his park. It was quickly accepted
and the donor then ordered swings,
see-saws, whirligigs and piles Of sand
placed on the grounds. This public
playground is opened each year.
On another occasion there was a
Methodist church in his home town
which was attended by the laboring
class. They were too poor to main
tain the church and the expenses
placed a mortgage on the building.
Finally it was sold under the hammer
at an auction.
The buyer was James A. Houchin,
philanthropist. He presented the
church building to Miss Myrene and
instructed her to have it repaired. She
was then ordered to take charge and
have the church conducted for the
benefit of the former parishioners-
Under her guidance the church haa
grown and prospered.

ton for horseflesh grows on him, and
the hundredth time he sees Astral
King gives him as much delight as
on the first occasion his eyes rested
on the beautifully formed sire.
Mr.. Houchin has close rivals in ap-
probation for high class horses. Mrs.
Houchin and their daughter, Myrene,
delight in seeing the horses put
through their training and each are
expert eQuestriennes, and aside from
being members of riding club, have
contributed to the success of the blue
blooded horses in the show ring by
their cleverness in handling the reins,
and many hundreds of blue ribbons
and first prize trophies are shown
you when visiting them. Myrene has
acquired a reputation as pronounced
as her fathers in her dexterity in the
exhibiting of his horses.
Mr.. Houchin has not confined him
self solely to horses. He purchased
an importation Of over fifty Hereford
cattle, among them the old time prize
winners, such as Anxiety, Beau Brum-
mel, Wild Tom, Lord Saxon, Dandy
Rex and others. Star, as pictured, is
the king of the herd, and always a
first prize winner ever since he en-
tered the show ring. High class hogs

candidate of the Democratic party,

training of the horses and their exhi-
bition, and many an event has &C.
CURED on this track that has centered
the eyes of horse lovers all over the
United States, Canada and Mexico on
Jefferson City. T. D. Anderson, a
smooth faced, quiet young man, is the
superintendent of Houchin's farm and
from early morning until late at night
you will find him busily engaged at
the big stables at the Houchin driving
park, experimenting the workout of
more than 200 finely bred horses,
owned by James A. Houchin, the lead
ing candidate for the Democratic nom
nation for Governor. Mr.. Anderson
is ably assisted by D. E. Mcmillan,
the record breaking driver of Orondo,
the 2:05 trotter from the Houchin sta
bles, whose expert handling of the
reins converts the green animals into
first-class five-gaited speeders.
Never does Mr.. Houchin tire Of
looking at the thoroughbreds in his
stables. They are led out for him to
see, and made to go through their
PAGES for his edification. Astral King,
the greatest saddle show stud in the
world, that won the grand champion
ship at the Missouri State Fair, is the
king of the stables and Houchfn's IA
vorite mount, and well has he the
right to that title. No price offered
would tempt Houchin to part with his
ideal stallion. His love and apprecia

JIM" APPLICATION
BY CHILDREN OF JET
FERSON CITY.
A Favorite of the Young Folks.

Every person in Jefferson City
speaks of James A. Houchin as one
of the most generous of men in the
state and freely credits the candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor with being the foremost cit
izen of the capital. His charitable
contributions and philanthropic en-
terprises have often startled his
friends by the munifcence of his
gifts.
The only one which he will consent
to talk about is the use of his private
race track, Houchin Driving Park,
by the children of Jefferson City. His
reason for breaking his inviolable rule
of silence regarding his gifts is the
sincere love and affection the candi-
date has for children of all ages.
Several years ago the Civic League
of Jefferson City advocated public
playground for children, specially for
the school vacation period. There
was not sufficient money in the treas

lions of dollars, would be rendered al
most, If not entirely valueless. 1t 10
unnecessary to elaborate here upon
the extent to which the adoption Of
such a principle of taxation would
upset and annihilate the business Of
the country.
Tenth: A great portion of the
market for all products of industry Is
constituted by those who earn their
incomes directly from working upon
the land. By taking the major part Of
the incomes so earned, and turning
them into the public treasury, the
market for such products would be
intellectually impaired. Especially
would this be ruinous to the country
merchants.
Eleventh: The size of the farm
unit, the amount of land necessary to
support a family by its product over
and above taxes and expense of cult
walton, would be increased. By rails
ing taxes to an exorbitant amount one
would require more land from which
to produce the necessary residue for
living expenses. The tendency would
therefore be to destroy small farm
ing.
Twelfth: 1t would, by reducing the
farmers income to merely what could
be produced on the poorest land, pre-
vent his ever enjoying any comforts
Of life.
1t would prevent him from educat.
ing his children.
1t would prevent him from ever i'm
proving his condition or accommodating
a surplus for enjoyment in his old
age. By destroying the commercial
value of his land it would reduce him,
in his declining years, when he be-
came unable to work, to a condition
of poverty which he could net relieve

departure, yet he will enter some for
competition at the county fairs this
fall and believes he will make an ex-
cellent showing. AS an officer of the
Jefferson City Poultry Association, he
| is naturally an exhibitor and his mod
ell poultry farm presents a picture
that would be a delight to the eye of
any fancier, with its hundreds of
prize roosters and hens, of a limited
variety in separate quarters, with tur-
keys and geese, all raised for either a
decoration in exhibitions or decorat-
ing a platter.
Fifteen hundred acres are devoted
to pasturage of his horses and cattle
and to the raising of crops and vege-
tables. Houchin is a farmer in all
that name implies, sincere and sue
cessful agriculturist and as a candi-
date for Governor, he would make an
ideal choice of the farmer, man who
would represent them and protect
farmer; knows his life; the obstacles
in his path; knows what laws are det-
rimental to him and what issues
would be beneficial to him, and being
farmer would naturally sanction
measures that would favor him and
speed his progress in his chosen voca-
tion-the backbone of prosperity.
Vote for him, and when he wins,
you will be able to say, zone of us,
who is for US, is our Governor and we
will now have peace"
