 Mexican Herald: The depart ment of fomento is giving serious study to the matter of the solution of the agricultural problem before the nation, and in the solving of which it is proposed to spend $200,000,000 The private secretary of the minister said yesterday tha' the government had never expected to settle the matter simply by buy ing up large estates and portioning them out 10 the people. This, he said, would be feasible in some parts, but in others it would uot be practicable. The secretary said that while in some regions also it would be practicable to destribute national lands to the small farmers in others this could not be done, so that the subject must be studied from broad standpoint, taking into consideration all parts of the republic. 1t cannot be denied" :" continued the secretary, "that the fundamental problem, which has been presented clearly to eminent persons who have studied agricul- ture, is that of the individual pro- perty-property which now by it's extent resists cultivation and i'm poverishes the fountains of econo- mica prosperity to the nation"

Mexican Herald: More than $l2,000 is now in the general treas ury of the nation to be distributed to the families of soldiers who were killed during the revolution started by President Madero. Claims have been coming in all the time since the close of the revolution so that it has been impossible up to the present time to make an equitable distribution of the funds. But it IS thought that the majority of claims have been presented by this time so that the distribution will begin at once.
 Mexican Herald: Fernando Pi- mentel V Fagoaga, manager of the Banco Central Mexicano, in full accord with the statement made by business men of the city and pub. lished in The Herald Sunday, said that in his opinion the personnel of the present government is giving ample protection, but that sensa. tional exagerations of the armed movements and other disturbances were tending to implant certain amount of lack of confidence at home and abroad. In spite of these facts, during the last few days sev- eral deals of considerable impor- tance had been undertaken and carried through, such as the hota- ton of $600000 of mortgage bonds at , per cent on the Cia. de Tran vias, Luz y Fuerza de Puebla, which found a favorable market in London, and the completion of the arrangements with the Central Bankers Syndicate of Provence,

Kenosha Knitting Company
to Build New Plant Near
Badger Brass Works.
PLANS ARE NOT Yet READY

Kenosha is to have another knitting
factory before great while as it is
announced this morning that E. L.
Shippee and G. E. Skiller of the Keno
sha Knitting Company, have purchas-
ed the block just west of the Badger
Brass Company formerly owned by
Captain B. G.. Cameron as site for
a factory for the company. The site
| is splendidly located for factory pur-
poses and it is large enough to make
possible the erection of very large
plant.
When seen this morning Mr.. Shippee
stated that he could not at this time
give out the plans Of the company as
they had not been matured. He stated
| that the site had been purchased as a
site for factory and that the plans
of the company would probably be
made public within short time.
"Just at present. said Mr. Shippee,
'our plans for the new plant are
somewhat up in the air, but we expect
to get at something of a definite nat
ure within short time and the pub
lie will be kept fully informed. 1t is
our plan to build the plant in
Kenosha. +"
The Kenosha Knitting Company is
in no ways new to the trade as the
company has been in business for sew
eral years and the business has prov
ed entirely successful. For some time
the company has been leasing space
at the plant of the Chicago-Kenosha
Hosiery Company, but the growth of
the business has been so rapid in the
past few months that there has been
a demand for an individual plant to
carry on the work. 1t is said that
the company will employ large force
of workmen when the new plant is
completed and it is expected the work
Of building the plant will be complet-
ed during the winter months.
| E. L. Shippee and Charles E. Skiller
are the principal owners of the stock
of the new company. Both are wide
| ly known in the knitting business,
both in Kenosha and throughout the
country on account of their long con
nection with the business of the
Chicago enosha Hosiery Company.

BURGLARS AT TWIN LAKES.

Homes Entered by Burglars.

Buckmaster and Skinkle Summer
Homes Entered by Burglars.
Burglars have despoiled the summer
homes of A. E. Buckmaster and Harry
Skinkle at Twin Lakes during the last
few days and when the owners of the
cottages went out on Monday they
found that the locks to the houses had
been broken and the houses ransacked
The burglars carried off many articles
of value, including a number of In
dian blankets and other furnishings
of the cottages. 1t is thought that
other cottages along Indian Point
were also entered by the thieves. This
is the second time that cottages in
this neighborhood have been burglariz-
ed during the winter season and the
owners of them may find it necessary
to employ Waterman if the raids
continue.

SLASH CITY PAY ROLL.
Inspection Department of City to Feel
Effect of Pruning Hook Today.

The city pay roll got the pruning
knife today when the officials in
charge of the Improvement work of
the city ordered the laying off indef-
initely of four inspectors drawing
salaries of $500 a day each and two
of the employees of the city en-
gineer' 5 Office. The total reduction in
the monthly pay roll as a. result of
these changes viii be close to 5000. In
order to make it possible to continue
the work in the city members of the
force in the city engineer S Office viii
be called upon to do inspection work
during the next month and it is ex-
pected that all the work now con-
templated will be pretty well out of
the way by the end of the month. 1t
is probable that Engineer Baltzer will
be forced to give lite of his time
to inspection work in order to reduce
expenses. AS rapidly as possible
other inspectors will be laid off by
the city.

CAN GET LAND CHEAP.
Vast Tracks of Irrigaed Lands Now
Open to Settlement on Liberal Terms.

Vast Tracks of Irrigaed Lands Now
Open to Settlement on Liberal Terms.
Uncle Sam wants five hundred men
to take up homes on the irrigation pro-
jects he has been building in the West.
More than 100000 acres are receiving
water from the government bitches and
late reports from thefeld indicate that
bumper crops have rewarded the farmer
in practically all sections Of the irri-
gated west. The crop yield on the pro-
jects Of the Reclamation Service are
truly remarkable in view of the fact
that much of the land is practically new
and many of the farmers were I'M
familiar with irrigation methods until
they acquired these farms.
A surprising feature that impresses
visitors to these lands is the modern
conditions that already surround the
settler on many of the projects. Rural
telephones, centralized graded schools,
good transportation facilities, and
towns at short intervals are some of the
things that rob life on these new lands
of many of the trials of pioneering.
The available lands are all in the
Northwest, mainly in Montana, South
Dakota, Wyoming and Idaho. This is
the best season Of the year to make a
personal inspection of the farms, and
different railrods offer low round trip
rates to various sections. Residence
does not have to be established for six
months after fling, and the act of June
6, 1912, reduces the required residence
from five to three years. Payments for
water rights are divided into ten an
nual installments and if necessary five
months leave of absence each year is
permitted, so that it is practical for a
man with from $1,000 to $4,000 capital
to acquire one of these desirable farms
and make it pay. Booklets and infor-
nation will be furnished on request by
the Statistician of the Reclamation Ser
vice at Washington, D. G.

The taking of expert testimony seems
to work out about the same way in all
lines and no two experts were ever
know, so far as can be discovered, to
agree absolutely on any given propo-

expert is to be different from every
other expert, which makes it compare

WORK AMONG YOUNG WOMEN.
Glasses in Physical Education to b.
Started in Kenosha Soon.

A new line of work among young
women is about to be launched IN Ke-
ncsha, whereby. courses in physical
education win be made available for
OR girls and young ladies. In the alb
sence of a Young Women S Christian
Association the advantages of physi-
cal training are limited to men and
boys. Our girls and young women are
therefore deprived of any opportunity
fos physical education. The need
which has long been felt is now to be
supplied. Under the auspices of ST.
Matthew s parish classes meeting once
a week are to be started in the Guild
Hall. A graduate of the Chicago
School of Physical Education and Ex-
PRESTON will be the instructress. It
IS planned to begin with a course in
gymnastic dancing and branch out in
to the various lines included in
course in physical education. The
rector of the parish, the Reverend
f1ed Ingley, has called meeting Of
al girls interested Cover fifteen years
of age) and young women to meet at
the Guild Hall Wednesday evening Of
this week at 7:3o to lay definite plans
for the class. The fee to be charged
for the course will be nominal one
so as to bring its privileges within
the reach of all. Great interest has
ceen manifested in the project which
will prove a real service to the girls
and young women of Kenosha.
