BANKS TAKING FUNDS
i
Common People Furnishing
Munitions of War to Ma
tional Campaigns.
CERTIFICATES FOR ALL DONORS

Cards notifying that funds will be
received by the national committees
of the Republican, Democratic and
Progressive parties for the campo gr
of 1912, viii be displayed by the
banks of Kenosha within few
days. Already similar cards have
been placed in the windows Of some
of the largest banks in Illinois
The banks will receive any sums
which citizens may desire to contribute
and forward the money to the
chairman Of the committee of the par
ty the donor desires to assist.
This plan of securing contributions
is an entirely new one and was origi
mated by the Democratic national com
mittee. The plan provides For popular
contributions in small amounts, rath
er than large subscriptions from the
wealthy men and corporations.
In the letters which are being sent
out to the BANKERS of the country
asking them to receive and TRANSMIT
the contributions, the idea was ex
pressed that the movement was in
augurated for the purpose Of freeing
presidential campaigns from the "sus
picion OF sinister influences.
The letters sent out by the Democrat,
national committee were signed BY
Chairman McAdoo and urged the
need of convenient and responsible
agencies for the receipt of subscrip
tions, and asks the banks and truss
companies to perform "the same pa
triotic service that the newspapers
have already done.''
Attached to the letter are copies
of communication written by Gov
Woodrow Wilson in which he ap.
proves Of the plan on the ground that
the people and not the interests
should finance the presidential cana.

14OO Trees Given Away ON
Arbor Day Found to be
Growing in Kenosha.
OBJECT LESSON TO CHILDREN

On Arbor Day last spring children
were seen fastening home from school
each with what looked to be vigorous
sprout or branch in their hands. A
closer observation would have re-
vealed the fact that this sprout was
carefully wrapped in paper at one end
and that the children were handling il
carefully. Had you asked one of these
children what he had, he would have
told you that he had little tree, and
that he was hurrying home to plant it
or to have it planted in his yard.
In all the school rooms careful in
structions had been given how to
plant these trees. In some schools, the
children had watched the janitor pre-
pare the hole in the ground, and had
been taught by him how to fix the
roots and pack the earth around them.
The trees were planted-hundreds of
them. During the past summer they
have spread broad leaves to the sun
and on account of the abundant rains
have put on a wonderful growth.
Hundreds of children have been watch
ing with interest their own little catal-
pas, in back yard or front lawn, or be-
side the road. The feeling Of owner
ship has added to their interest, AMI
a most valuable nature lesson has
been taught.
Of those given to the public schools,
l400 have been reported as living this
fall.
This gift to the children of Keno
sha came from the generous thought
of II. E. Barden. The Garden
Trees" as the children call them are
everywhere. Not only will they en-
rich the lives of the children who care
for them, but will add greatly to the
beauty of our city. So rapidly do the
catalpas grow, that it will be but a
few years until the children will be
enjoying the shade of these beautiful
blossoming trees, which made Arbor
Day, 1912, really memorable tree
planting occasion.

The legality of the use of voting
machines in the coming election un-
der the state law which requires q
separate ballot for presidential and
state tickets is to be tested in an ac-
ton brought III Milwaukee which will
result in the matter being passed on
by the supreme court. The manufaet-
urers of the voting machines declare
that the machines can handle the two
ticket requirements of the Wisconsin
law without any difficulty, the ma
chimes being set so that it will require
the pulling of a separate lever for each
lutely divorced from any others as if
1t were on a separate piece of paper,
but no one can tell what view the
supreme court will take of the matter.
There is only one thing certain and
that Is that If the court makes a rul-
ing for paper ballots it will cover the
whole state and the city S expensive
voting machinery will have to go into
the discard for this election If the
city is forced to return to the paper
ballots it will be an old fashioned =
election night for sure in Kenosha
with the voters waiting until three or
four 0 clock in the morning for the
city returns.

Kenosha has an ordinance prohibit
ing the burning Of rubbish on the paw
ed streets and an effort should be
made this fall to enforce it to the let
ter. The street commissioners should
call on the police if necessary to pre-
vent the fires or the paved street for
it is impossible to keep the streets in
decent condition if they are allowed
to burn. The fires not only ruin the
pavements, but they Fill the streets
and the air with a fine dust that it is
impossible to clean up.

The usual large number of small fires
are expected TO follow the starting up
of the heating stoves and furnaces for
the winter, most of them due to pure
carelessness and neglect on the part
OF property owners. The. losses will
be heavy and will not all fall on the
insurance companies either. A dollar
or two paid for the inspection and
cleaning out of chimneys and flues be-
fore the fires are started is form Of
insurance that no house owner can
afford TO neglect.

MAKE LISTS Of e! T; IRE COUNTY
( saders in Movement Declare They
Have Been Greatly Encouraged by
Result of Work Done the Earlier
Part of the Campaign.

The committee in charge of the
campaign to secure the enactment of
the amendment to the state constitu-
ton for equal suffrage started work in
earnest today and from now until the
votes are counted ON November 9Th
the women will be busy all the time.
The local committee has reached the
decision that Kenosha county is good
lighting territory and some of the
at work in an effort to reach every
voter in the county with the literature
demanding "Votes for Women.
Miss Emma Robinson is at the head of
the publicity campaign and under her
direction list is being made of every
voter in the city and county and be-
fore the end of next week these vot-
ers will receive the literature to be
sent out by the committee.
There will be thousands of train
bow flyers sent to the voters and
these will be followed up with person
al letters signed by members of the
committee urging that the voters study
the question of votes for women and
lend their support to the movement to
secure the passage of the amendment.
Money for the campaign in Kenosha
county has been furnished freely by
the leaders in the movement and no
stone is to be left unturned to roll up
a majority for the adoption of the
amendment in this county. It is de-
clared that the Kenosha county women
are among the most active in the state
in the fight for the amendment and
they declare that Kenosha county is
expected to vote favorably on the
amendment.
In speaking of the fight this morning
Miss Robinson said: eve have been
greatly encouraged by the returns
from the work done in the county and
while we are not making any predic-
lions as to the outcome we are going
to keep eternally at it until the cleo
tion is over. 1t is surprising the great
interest that is being taken in the
fight and the interest is growing steadi-
ly. Kenosha county is going to have
some speakers Of national reputation
during the closing weeks of the cam
paign and We expect to have mum
Der Of public meetings."
Among the speakers who are to
come to Kenosha is Miss Edna Null
holland of New York, one of the lead
ing advocates Of the cause Of women
in various lines Of activity. It is ex-
pected that she will speak in Kenosha
some time next week, but the definite
date for the meeting has not as yet
been set. The Kenosha committee will
probably use the bill boards extensive
~ during the closing weeks OF the
eompaign, but the great amount of the
work vii lbe done in personal way.
There has been no lack of volunteers
among the women Of Kenosha and it
is declared that no less than forty Of
the women are now actively engaged
in seeking converts to the cause of the
women.
Similar actively is being reported
from other counties in the state and
the leaders Of the state committee de-
clare that the vote for the amendment
will be surprise to people who have
been of the opinion that there was lit
tie sentiment in favor of the women
voting in Wisconsin.
