[ Asked a Retired
Business Man

'Do you find it more difficult to
to maintain good health than when
strenuous pursuit of dollars"
NO." he replied, "for I systematic
my play, the same as did my work
"For example, I go South in the
winter and North in the summer,
which gives me an entire change of
scene and climate. Each day spend
a few hours on the golf course. I
read, go to the theaters and occa-
sionally hear the great artists. To
round out my day, I always play q
few selections on my Kimball Acme
lodic Player Piano.
HAll my life 1 have enjoyed out
door sports and good literature, but
never had an opportunity to become
acquainted with good music until I
bought my Kimball Player Piano.
Now the works of the old Masters,
the operas and even the popular
music are a constant source of pleas
ure and revelation to me.
81 am always telling my friends
that if they would only follow my
schedule they would never grow
weary for the lack of something
to do"

New YorIs Stock Market.

Wall ST.. New York, Nov.22.-STOCKs-
The sharp rise in stocks yesterday was
followed by profit taking today and sales
of this account together with the lower
range of American in London, served to
depress the market in the morning trad
ing. Pool operations which were at a
conspicuous feature of the recent review
apparently were suspended for the time
and speculation narrowed down to the
well known issues. An additional engage
ment of gold for import gave traders an
opening to bid UP prices against the shorts
but as soon as this buying ceased the list
went off again.
Bonds were steady.
Following the lead of London, prices sag
ged at the opening of the stock market
here. Resumption of hostilities in the
Balkans was ascribed as the cause of the
movement. The declines were confined
to fractions with the exception of Canad-
ian Pacific which lost a point. A few
stocks advanced, with especial strength
in Louisville and Nashville, which rose
a point
When the accumulation of selling orders
at the opening had been worked off trad
ers bid up several stocks in a tentative
fashion and soon the whole list was ris-
ing: special strength was shown by North
western Lehigh and Can.

SATISFIED WITH BACK FILLING.
Street Assessment Committee Makes
Final Trip Over Work of Sewer.

The Street Assessment Committee of
the common council made its final In
vestigation of the back filing work
done by the Cleary. White, Newman
Company, contractors for the trunk
sewer on Saturday and these men are
ready to report in favor Of the accept,
ance of this portion of the work. Al
derman Rhode declared this morning
that the committee was entirely salts
fed with the back filing work that had
been done and the contractors had lived
up to their contract with the city in
this regard. The work of cleaning out
the sewer is now being rushed and it
is expected that the work will be COM
pleted by the end of this week and the
company will make some suggestion for
a settlement when the council meets on
next Monday evening. 1t is possible
that the city council will hire an expert
to make an examination of the sewer
before the final acceptance of the
work is made by the committee and
the council.

MADE A NEW RECORD.
Fire Department is Called Out Only
Twice on the Fourth.

Thursday established a new record
for the Fourth of July for the fire de-
partment in Kenosha and in the twenty
four hours from midnight Wednesday
to midnight Thursday the department
answered only two alarms of fire nei-
ther Of the fires being caused by fire
works. In the morning the department
answered an alarm from the brass mills
on a small fire in one of the oil burners
and in the other the men were called
out on account Of a blaze in the loft
Of a barn on West street. The damage
caused by both fires was merely nomi-
nal. The full force of the department
was kept on duty and in readiness all
day and night for the usual number of
calls on the Fourth, but the expected
trouble failed to materialize and the
day was the quietest in the history of
the department for Fourth of July.

EVANSTON HAS TROUBLE.
System of Treating Water is Not Prov
ing Satisfactory to Consumers

ing Satlsf actory to Consumers.
The old time cry Of the impure water
in Lake Michigan has been raised by
Evanston and as usual the pollution of
the lake is thought II be from Wauke-
gan.
There is also some trouble in Evans
ton with the hypochlorite of lime and
the Evanstonians claim that the odor
and the taste is not exactly conclusive
to drinking water.
The matter has been taken up with
the health commissioner and will re-
ceive his attention.
The condition of the water system in
Waukegan has greatly improved since
the installation Of the hypo treatment
and the city officials there feel that in
EVERY way it has been successful.
The typhoid rate has been greatly
lowered and the epidemic wiped from
the city.
Waukegan has one of the most in
proved systems of injecting the hypo-
chlorite that can be found any place,
and this is thought to be the reason for
the success there, while they are having
so much trouble in Evanston.

1t is declared that much of the dis
order, rowdyism, and downright in
deoencyeoomplained Of last year in con-
nectioH with the operation of the NUM-
cipal bathing beach cannot be properly
charged up to the management of the
municipal beach because while the acts
complained of were witnessed by Wis
itors to the beach, they did not take
place on the land set apart by the city
as municipal beach. This explanation
rather comes under the head Of a poor
excuse being better than none because
the city has full police power not only
on the beach but over all of the land in
the vicinity and few arrests and fines
would have cleaned up the whole vicin-
ity in short order. The beach is SUM-
posed to be operated for the benefit of
all the people of the city and if the
municipal beach itself and all of its
surroundings and approaches cannot be
kept clean and decent and fit for WON
en- and children to frequent at all hours,
lit had better be closed up altogether,

HIRsT COMING FRIDAY.
Chief Engineer of wisconsin Highway
Commission to Address Auto Club.

A. R. Hirst of Madison, chief en-
gineer of the Wisconsin Highway Com
mission will come to Kenosha on Fri
day afternoon to take up the question
of improving the lake shore road with
the members of the Kenosha Automo
bile club. Engineer Hirst will come
to the city in time to make careful
survey of the work demanded and he
plans to be ready to give the members
of the club an estimate of the cost of
the work necessary to put the road in
first class condition.
The fund for the building of the road
has been largely increased by a gift
of $500 made by the Badger Brass
Manufacturing company This, added
TO the $1,000 recently given by the
Thomas B. Jeffery company, shows a
good>start for the fund It is expected
that other manufacturing concerns in
the city will aid the work just as soon
as a definite plan has been outlined.

1t is the belief of many of the public
spirited men of the city that more
play grounds must be provided for the
boys and girls of Kenosha, and that
any additions that may be made to the
park system Of the city in the future
should be peoples parks in every
sense Of the word; that any new parks
while they may be made as beautiful
as possible, shall be designed and laid
out primarily for the use of the people
of the city, and not for ornamental
purposes only. We have our show
places and they are among the most
beautiful parks maintained by any city
in the country, but what is needed
more now than anything else, is more
baseball diamonds, bathing beaches,
skating ponds, general play grounds
for the use of the people of the city of
Kenosha. Kenosha has natural advan-
tages that few cities possess and the
time has come when provision must be
made for the future growth of the city
by providing larger park system be-
fore the prices of the land that must
be secured become prohibitive.

HOLD SUNDAY MEETING.
Social Democratic Speakers Draw
Large Crowd to Rhode Opera House


The Socialists held a very unique
and interesting meeting at the Rhode
Opera House yesterday morning. Mrs
May NJ Strickland opened the Meet
ing with a Mirandy" story by
Dorothy Dix. Rev. Fred Strickland
followed with the address of the day
1t was an unusual type of political
speech. His arguments bristled with
points of wit, and yet he heaped no
abuse upon his political opponents.
He maintained that no religious faith
of any kind was possible until the peo-
pie could have faith in each other. He
claimed that Socialism is larger ex-
preston of special faith, made possible
by industrial democracy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Strickland will speak
once more at the, Rhode Opera House.
The meeting will be held next Sunday
morning at 10 O'Clock.

More than one-third Of all the improv-
ed farm lands in this country lie within
the states of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas. In
clude the group Of states Immediately to
the south namely, Arkansas, Louisi,
ana, Oklahoma and Texas-and you
have almost half of all the improved
farm land in the country. In the last
census period the total area of improv-
ed farm land increased by sixty-four
million acres, or fifteen per cent, against
an increase Of twenty-one per cent. in
population; but nearly half of this to-
tai increase occurred in the two groups
named above If it had not been for the
land brought under cultivation in that
strip of territory on the west bank OF
the Mississippi the whole United States
would have shown an increase OF only
four per cent in area of improved farm
land during the ten years.
There is vast difference between thA
area Of land in farms and the improved
area. About one-half of the total land
area of the country is embraced in
farms, but little over one-half of the
farm land is improved. In the matter
of bringing land under cultivation the
western half of the Mississippi Valley
took such tremendous lead during the
last decade that all the rest Of the
country, comparatively speaking, was
nowhere; and even in the eleven states
named much less than fifty per cent of
the land is now cultivated. Probably,
also, in comparison with what it might
be made to produce. As a rough sort of
guess, we should say there is now ex-
tracted from the soil of the United
States in agricultural products about a
quarter of what the soil is capable of
yielding Saturday Evening Post.
