TALK DECORATIVE LIGHTS.
Members of Committee of Retailers
Assn. Hold Meeting Thursday Night.

The special committee of the Keno
sha Retail Merchants Association in
charge Of promoting the new plans for
lighting the business district Of the
city, held meeting on Thursday
evening and it was declared follow
ing the meeting that large number
of the owners of property in the BUSH
ness district were favorable to the
new plan. las it is proposed to have
a portion of the cost of the lights paid
by the property owners there is some
dispute as to the best way to secure
these payments. The lighting COM
pany has suggested that tax be
levied annually against the property
directly benefited. 1t is probable
that this plan will be followed. Some
report Of the work of the committee
will probably be sent to the council
at its next regular meeting.

State Shows This City
Well up in the List.
RACINE NEXT TO MILWAUKEE,

Kenosha is placed in seventh place
among the postofices IF Wisconsin in
the annual report that has just been
issued by the government and the
report shows that this city has
distanced Sheboygan during the
past year, advancing one place in rank
among the cities of The state.
The total receipts of the Kenosha
office for the year just closed are
shown to have been $4,000, an in
crease of more than $4,000 over the
business done in the former year.
There has been an increase in the
business of all the lea ling offices in
the state during he twelve months.
The Milwaukee Office is named as first
and Racine maintains her second place
position. The proportionate growth in
Kenosha compares well with that of
any city in the state. All departments
of the Kenosha office have been pros
porous during the year The Keno
sha postal savings bank has shown a
remarkable growth during the nine
months that it has been in existence
and it is certain that this branch Of

FOND DU LAG OFFICIALS HERE
Appleton and Ashland Also Seek IN
formation From Kenosha to Guide
Them i'll Big Expenditures $4,000
Needed to Complete Departments.

kenoSha seems to be furnishing an
example for other cities in the state
in the matter of installing motor fire
apparatus and the fame of Kenosha
as the first city to provide for the
installation of motor apparatus in all
OF the fire houses is attracting many
visitors to the city. On Thursday
Chief Sharp Of the fire department at
Ashland dropped into Kenosha and
secured figures on the cost of main
tenance of the motor driven wagons.
Thursday afternoon City Electrician
John 0 'Brien and Aldermen Joseph
Luterberger and Fred Chaplain of
Fond du Lac were here on trip Of
investigation and this morning Chief
Isermann received a communication
from Appleton asking for all details
as to the cost and cost Of mainten-
ance of motor apparatus.
Both Fond du Lac and Appleton
are planning to make large expendi-
lures to motorize their fire depart
rlents. Appleton is planning to issue
bonds to the amount of $4,000 in
order to replace all horse driven
vehicles with motor driven apparatus.
In Fond du Lac the expenditure will
be even greater.
Both of these departments expect
that the equipment to be purchased
will be similar to that now in use
III Kenosha. Members of the Keno
sha department. influenced by the Wis
It's from officials Of other cities are
urging the members of the council to
get busy and complete the change III
the Kenosha department. With
new motor truck in course of con-
struction the expense of changing over
in Kenosha would not exceed $4,000.
This would include the purchase of
a motor driven hook and ladder wag-
on, which will cost in the neighbor-
hood Of $4,000; motor driven patrol
wagon. at a cost of $4,000; and motor
runa bouts for the use of the chiefs
of the two departments. The big call
in Kenosha at the present time is
police patrol wagon driven by mot
or. Chief Q'Hare has made figures
based or costs of maintenance in
other cities which show that the in
stallation of motor patrol wagon
would save the city from $500 to $500
a year on present expenditures. He
has plans made for Il combination
ambulance and patrol wagon and he
is hopeful that the members of the
council will see the economy in fol
lowing these plans. The present pa
tr3l wagon will have to be replaced
with p new one in the near future
and it is probable that it will be
necessary to purchase some new horses
if the motor plan is not adopted.
The old hook and ladder truck at
the central fire station is on its last
legs. 1t has been in use for so many
years that it is certain that it will
have to be replaced with new truck
within the next few years. 1t is re-
garded as certain that Kenosha will
not lag behind the procession of the
other cities of the state and that no
more horse driven wagons will be pur-
chased for use in either the police or
fire department.
The committees of the council in
charge Of these departments will I'M
ioubtedly put the matter up to the
council within the next few months.

The national forests contain about
one-ffth Of the standing timber of the
country, but furnish only ono
cightieth Of the annual cut. The
amount that could be cut from them
each year without exceeding the gain

FLORENCE SCHENCk.

Lying at the point of death in a
sanitarium in New York, Florence
Schenck, who, following her alleged
desertiOn by Charles II. Wilson, stable
manager for A. c. Vanderbilt, became
a notorius figure in the gay life of
Paris and London, has wired to her
father in Norfolk, Va, asking him to
come to her and grant forgiveness for
the wild life she has led, and which
she SO deeply regrets when it is too
late.
The life of this girl is a powerful
sermon to all young girls who grow
tired of the humdrum existence of
home life. A few short years ago she
was a beauty, whose face, figure and
charm caused her to be idoliZed by
the men-about-tOWn Of London, New
York and Paris, whose admiration is
the worst curse that can possibly be-
fall woman. From a reigning queen
of gaiety, this girl dropped steadily to
the fate that few of her kind escape.
Racked by pain and remorse, this
CHASTITY remnant of what was once a
beautiful woman, has sent out mes
sage to the world from what seems
certain to be her deathbed. She says,
Girls, stay at home with your parents
They are your only friends. Home is
heaven, and the gay life is veritable
hell"
