MANY OWNERS INTERESTED
Expected that the New Organization
Will Start Ont With Charter Member
ship of Nearly Two Hundred-Many
Plans Being Made for Season.

Tae formal call has been sent out for
the organization of an automobile club
in Kenosha, and meeting of the own
ers of motor cars will be held at the
Elks club Friday night at which time
the preliminary steps for the organiza-
tion of the club will be taken. A COM
mittee made up of nine men most in
terested in the organization of the club
has taken up the work of completing
the details and letters have been sent
to every one of the two hundred owners
Of cars in the city asking them to be
present at the meeting Friday evening.
The promoters of the organization have
big plans for the future and they ex-
pect to be able to make the Kenosha
club one Of the most active organiza-
tions to be found in the state. N. G..
Moore, one of the leading boosters Of
the automobile game in Milwaukee, is
expected to be in the city Friday even
ing to take up the matter with the To-
cal car owners and it is expected that
practically every owner Of an automo-
bile will be enrolled as charter mem
Der Of the organization. The question
Of dues and fees and the question of
opening a club house as a general gath
ering place for motorists will be taken
up at the meeting Friday evening. The
letter which has been sent out by the
commit follows:
Dear Sir:
| Since there are SO many automobilists
in this city there has been considerable
agitation as to the organization Of an
automobile club in Kenosha.
| It seems that such an organization
in this city would create a strong feel
ing among the auto enthusiasts and a
feeling that might promote the welfare
| Of the good roads proposition, sign
boards, protection to automobilists, etc.
Nearly every city in the state of
Wisconsin Of any Importance has an
automobile club, and a letter from Sec
Rotary Meyer, Of the Milwaukee club,
states that they have often wondered
why city like Kenosha, with its auto
mobile and lamp factories, did not have
live automobile club.
Mr.. Meyer has signified his willing
ness to assist in any manner that he
could in the organization Of club, and
has assured us that the M. A. G. would
at all times be good, live side kicker
for club If organized in Kenosha.
We have arranged to hold meeting
at the Elks club rooms (Which have
been very kindly offered) on Friday
night Feb. 16, at s 0 clock (this weekly +,
WHARF we can meet and discuss the
benefits to be derived from such an or
ganization.
/ We have no correct mailing list Of au-
tomobile owners and no one should feel
sighted if he does not receive a writ
ten invitation to this meeting, but any
lady or gentleman in Kenosha county
who owns an automobile is eligible to
membership and is most cordially in
lvited to attend this meeting and help
organize such club.
Trusting that you will attend this
meeting and boost the new Kenosha
Automobile club, we remain,
Very truly yours,

125,OOO AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In a report Of the House Committee
Washington appears the following;
Canada offers a three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with six months leave
Of absence each year and most lenient
regulations"
All of which is true and ?. is now
the part of the careful reader TO con-
slider the opportunities that exist IN
Western Canada which, in addition to
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence Of these is found In the
letters contributed by some OF the
settlers. Fo7 instance: A former Min
nesotan, writing from Warner, South
ern Alberta, speaks OF that district,
but what he says, applies generally to
all Of Southern Alberta. He says:
81 have seen six crops, four Of them
were first class, one Of them very
good crop, and the other poor crop.
Government statistics for the last flf-
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches Of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as have seen in this coun-
try and we had about twelve inches Of
moisture, so that l am thoroughly con-
vinced that with normal conditions,
that is, from twelve to fifteen inches
OF moisture, and with the natural in
crease of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one Of
the very best mixed farming districts
in the world. We have good soil, good
water, and a good climate, and alto
gether just as desirable a country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin"
Hundreds Of letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being settled so rapidly.
Full particulars can be had Of any Ca
madam Government Agent, who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
daily.

The effect OF a difieult engineering

At first there appeared red, hard

by the itching. l was in a state OF
perplexity when walking the streets

they failed completely. 1 thought OF

In huge Jars, then fried In grease and
mixed with rice. In Algeria they are
simply boiled in water and salted to

In southern Russia, where locusts are
still extensively eaten by the serfs'
the insects are usually smoked In the
flrst instance like fish. When re-
quired for consumption, the legs ana
wings are broken on, and the bodies
are then boiled, roasted. stewed' friea
or broiled.
After the locusts, the popular IN
sect food consists of grubs and cater
pillars. of which many species are
eaten with avidity in different coun-
tries of the world. The grub OF the
common cockchafer (Melolontha)'
when properly dressed forms a nutrl-
tious and actually dainty food. Twenty
years or so ago, banquet was given
at the Cafe Custoza in Paris for the
special purpose Of demonstrating the
excellent qualities Of the yer blanc, as
this grub is called. The insects were
fried to a golden brown color In
paste or flour, milk, and eggs; and Oh
the so guests present the majority
called for second helping.
The only butterfly distinguished by
supplying food to mankind is an Aus
tralian species called by the natives
"Bugong." Regularly every year this
insect congregates in 7ast swarms on
the rock slopes of the Bugong noun
tains. and It is said that the natives
light great fires beneath the trees up
on which the butterflies have settled
for the night, thus suffocating them
and bringing them to earth.
Among the insects that are eaten
It is necessary to include the famous
grugru, or palm grub Of the West In
dies with the allied species found In
Java. These grubs when roasted on
tiny spits and richly spiced, are said
to surpass all other animal food In
flavor.
The ancient Greeks were very fond
of cicadas OF harvest tiies-insects OF
very wide geographical range,
whose shrill note is familiar country
sound throughout the southern states
during the summer season. Cicadas
are also eaten today by certain AT
| ricon trthas The Greeks were also
eaters of crickets; nor are these in
sects neglected at the present day, for
the natives of a large portion OF
southern Africa dig up subterranean
species, and roast it over bright fire
for food

there is a Nineveh sculpture showing
men carrying different kinds Of meat
to some festival, and among them are
some who carry long sticks to which
locusts are tied. In Athens of old,
locusts and grasshoppers were sold in
the markets, and they we're then pre-

law Of Moses, as set forth in the book
of Leviticus, we find locusts permit

SHOT STARTS A SNOWSLIDE

Caught in a snowslide that was
precipitated by the concussion follow
ing the discharge of his rifle, David
Davis, thirty-two years old, formerly
a Denver man, was carried 300 feet 10
his death down a mountain side near
the quarries of the Colorado Xule
Marble company, at Marble, Colo.
Davis, who was employed as time
keeper by the marble company, was
out shooting. AS he was returning 10
camp soon before dusk, following
trail at the base OF one Of the Elk
mountain peaks, he caught sight OF
game and took shot. The concus-
sion started the slide. Davis was In
the immediate path of the avalanche
of snow and rock. Realizing his pre-
dicament, he ran to get beyond the
danger zone. His effort was futile.
The slide was upon him in less than
minute after It started. He was en-
tombed by the swirling mass and car
ried down the rocky mountainside to
his death.
