GAVE MUCH MONEY FOR ROADS
Reports of Years Work Show That
Club Has Done Much to Secure I'm
provements of the Highways of Ke-
nosha County-Directors Reelected.

The first annual meeting of the Ke-
nosha Automobile Club was held at the
Hotel Borup on Tuesday evening and
large number Of the members Of the
club turned out and took part in the
annual election of directors and the
acceptance Of the annual reports of
the officers and committees. These re-
ports showed that the club had ac-
complished much since its organization
a year ago. In the year the sum of
$4,000 had been raised for the i'm
provement of highways in the county
and the raising of this amount make
possible the securing of fund of
$4,000 for the Improvement of the
roads. The report of the secretary
showed that the club had ISL paying
the club had total Of Isl paying
members. Nearly all Of the money
contributed to the club treasury by
the members has been used in promot-
ways or for the proper designation of
highways. Peter Rhode, chairman Of.
the road committee Of the club, gave a
very interesting report of work done
during the year. This showed that
movements had been started in sew
eral Of the towns which had resulted
in roads being improved at the order
of the towns.
Many road signs were put up dur
ing the year. Some Of these were
signs showing the best foetes for au-
tomobiles. Others were warnings of
approaches to railway crossings and
warnings of speed limits maintained in
the city. The road committee had
many suggestions to make. It sug-
gested that an effort be made to have
the city publish the new road ordinance
in convenient form and that this be
circulated by the automobile club. It
recommended that some sort of road
repair outfit be secured by the club
and used in taking care Of minor de-
fects in the roads about the county
These matters will be taken up later
in the year by the club.
An effort is being made to have the
club members take even greater in
terest in the organization during the
coming year. 1t is expected that more
money will be raised as aid for the
highway work and efforts will be
made to have more social features ar
ranged in connection with the work
of the club.
The directors for the new year are
Charles t. Jeffrey, John M. Kehlor,
Mayor Dan O. Head, Walter J. Frost
and Russell H. Jones. The board Of
directors will hold meeting within
the next few days and elect officers
for the year.
Russell H. Jones, who is the repre-
sentative Of the Kenosha Club on the
board of directors Of the Wisconsin
Automobile Club will go to Milwaukee
on Friday to attend the annual sessions
of the board at which time officers Of
the state association will be elected.

The Observance of Lincoln's
Birthday Is Held at Park
Avenue M. E. Church.
TEMPERANCE LEADER SPEAKS

Abraham Lincoln was born 104
years ago today and the people of
Kenosha had an observance of the
Lincoln anniversary at the Park Ave.
M. E. Church on Monday evening
when the Hon Eugene W. Chain,
former candidate of the prohibition
party for president OF the United
States paid a great tribute to the life
and work of the great emancipation.
| 1t was a notable gathering and a
patriotic one. More than five hundred
people gathered at the church to hear
the address and in the number were
many children of the city schools.
Mr.. Chain is an orator of national
reputation and his address proved 30
be one Of the most interesting adj
dresses on "Lincoln" ever heard in
Kenosha.
Mr.. Chain said: "Of the more than
one hundred and fifty biographies Of
Lincoln which have been written, no
really truthful biography has been
written nor will the present genera
ton ever see biography telling all
the truths of the great campaign in
which Lincoln was elected or the
many intrigues, insults and disheart-
ening events which marked his admin
stration.
Mr.. Chain spoke of Lincoln as dis
tinctly man of many sorrows. He
spoke of the death of his early sweet.
heart Anne Rutledge; Of his later I'M
happy marriage to Mary Todd; of his
many defeats in political undertakings
as well as his three successful cam
paigns for public office; and showed
throughout that divine hand was
shaping Lincoln's life and leading him
steadily toward the Office Of president
and the work of saving the union.
In closing he spoke ef the remark
able parallel and sequence of events
in the life of Jesus Christ and of Lin
coin, that on Palm Sunday at a late
afternoon hour news came to him of
Lees surrender; of the rapid success
sion Of happy events which marked
the next few days and on Friday night.
following the Sunday Of his greatest
happiness came into his life the great.
est tragedy since the crucifxion.
Wrapped attention was given Mr..
Chain throughout and his splendid
lecture was greatly enjoyed by all
who heard it.
1t is expected that Mr.. Chain will
be in Kenosha during the first week
in March to deliver an address in be-
half Of the prohibition party.

GIVE NOTICE OF PAROLES.
State Board of Control ADOPTS Sugges
tion Made by Judge G. E. Randall.


The state board Of control has
adopted suggestion made to it by
Judge G.. e. Randall of the municipal
court of Kenosha county and in the
future notice will be given to judges
of trial courts of all paroles granted
by the state board of control. In adj
dition to this the field agents IN
charge of parolled prisoners will be
directed to forward to the courts re-
ports on the action of men who had
been sentenced in these courts and lat
er parolled by the state board. The
first of these reports was received by
Judge Randall this morning. 1t is
probable that these reports will be
held as confidential, but the judges
will be given chance to know just

HOPE TO START WORK SOON
New Rules and Regulations are Adopted
for Government of the Schools and
Grounds Will be Open for Play
Grounds for Children-Cut OFF Fees.

At the meeting or Ine podIu VI GU
ucation held on Tuesday evening at the
city hall the board completed arrange
ments to proceed at once with the
building of an eight roola addition to
the Balm school which is to cost In
the neighborhood of $4,000. Howard
Fl. Hahn drew the plans of the propos-
ed addition and these were accepted
by the board and the architect was
directed to advertise for bids on the
plans at once These bids will be re-
ceived in about three weeks and 1T is
expected that the board will be ready
to proceed with the work before the
city council has provided money for
the erection of the addition. The esti-
mate made by the architect includes
the heating and plumbing Of the build
ing and also the installation of the
blackboards in all the school rooms.
It is figured that this building can be
completed by the first of next Septem-
Der and it is probable that money for
it could be taken from the general
fund of the board with the under
standing that the fund is to be re-
plenished by a bond issue later.
Bids are also being secured on a
sixteen and twenty room building to
l. II 10 Co11 c4p
and as soon as these are received the
board will be able to give The council
some formal statement as to its finan-
ciaI needs and at that time a bond
issue, probably aggregating $4,000,
will be asked for.
The long discussed new rules and
regulations were presented to the
board at the meeting CT Tuesday
evening and they were adopted. The
most important feature Of the new
rules is the throwing open Of the
school grounds of the city for the use
of the children as play grounds. In
be allowed to use the school grounds
as play places regardless Of the time
Of the ringing Of the first bell.
Friends of the play ground movement
believe that this new rule of the
board is long step in the right di-
rection. The new rules are based on
the most up to date provisions Of
leading cities for the regulation of
school systems.
Under the new regulations no fees
will be charged to students for special
courses in the schools with the excep-
| tion of fees for material ii the manual
training department. These fees will
be collected only in case the student
| is working on some large piece which
will be of real value to him and which
will be his property when it is com
| pleted. The small fees that have been
charged in other departments of the
special courses will be eliminated en-
tirely in the future. It is the plan
of the board to make the school work
free in every way to the children of
the city of Kenosha.
An examination of the school sys.
TENS of other cities shows that the
fee system has been abolished in all
cities of the state with the exception
of three and in these cities only small
fees are collected from the students.
The board had the usual amount of
routine work and the meeting was a
/ prolonged one.

DISAPPEARED 3 YEARS AGO
Mother Had Believed Him Dead and
Government Had Used Every Posi-
BILE Method in Efforts to Get Some
Trace of Hinl-Now in Honduras.

The mystery surrounding the dlsap-
pearance of Anthony Schaefer, form
erly employed at the Kenosha light
house and son of Mrs. Victoria
Schaefer of Noble avenue, who disap-
peared from the United States Battle
ship Des Moines at Colon in the Pana-
ma Zone on November 9, 1909, is
thought to have been solved ami it IS
believed that Schaefer is now return
inc to his native land after spending
three years in the interior of Hon
duras. Consul Culm at Ceiba, Hon
duras on Wednesday notified the state
department that two Americans by
the name of Schaefer and Toilette,
who had been working for the Ameri.
can Commercial Company and who
were reported lost in the wilds of Hon
duras. had been found. Schaefer is
now at Puerto Cortes and he will be
sent to Washington in the near future.
Mrs. Schaefer has not as yet re-
ceived any formal notification of the
finding of the man III Honduras, but
she feels convinced that the man
found is her son.
Tony Schaefer was we'll known in
Kenosha. He was born ard raised
here and after working for some time
as an assistant keeper Of the Kenosha
light house he joined the United States
navy. He was an expert engineer and
was assigned TO. ths.~ Des Moines, s
where he held the Office of an as5is-
tant. engineer. On the afternoon of
November 9th, 1909, when the battle
ship was in dock at Colon, Schaefer
and number Of his companions left
the boat and two of the men never
returned Schaefer was last seen or
one Of the streets of Colon and it was
declared by other men who had been
with him that he had been impressed
for service on some foreign ship.
Mrs. Schaefer took up the matter
with the navy department and that
department, treating the disappearance
Of Schaefer as a desertion, at once
started a search for him Nothing
was ever found until the report from
the American consul at Ceiba was re-
ceived on Wednesday, Every ship
which visited the canal zone had been
instructed to make a search for the
missing Kenosha man and his mother
| had insisted that he had been killed
at Colon Police departments along
the canal zone had special instructions
| to look out for Schaefer and arrest
him as deserter and foreign ships
at points along the canal were search
ed at the orders Of the United States
government
It is now thought that Schaefer was
taken aboard one of these ships and
taken to some other point where he
managed to escape and realizing that
he would be forced to stand trial as
deserter if he returned he went into
the interior of Honduras where he Sc.
cured work with the American Com.
mercial Company. .Schaefer may now
return to his home in Kenosha with
assurances of immunity from prosecu.
tion as under the navy regulations
prosecutions for desertion must be
made within three years of the date
of the alleged desertion.

MoDEsrY AND MODERN GIRLS
Few Years Ago Public Speaking BY
Young Women and Athletics
Would Have Been Tabooed.

Addressing an audience of girls at
the charities conference. Miss Beulah
Kennard made this declaration:
Twentieth century girls are less
modest than any since the days Of
Louis XVI"
Not many years ago the modesty Of
the shrinking violet. which was asso-
ciated with timidity and expressed by
demurely downcast eyes, was q model
followed by young women Of that Pc
riod. They were expected to faint at
moments of stress. and it Is to be pre-
sumed that they did.
Painting has gone out of fashion
The telephone girl in the Austin flood
who stuck to her switchboard, sending
out warnings to the people of the town
while she herself faced death. was no
exception to the rule Of these times.
The level gaze of the unafraid has
displaced downward glances Of timid
modesty. A few years ago public
speaking by girls at public gatherings
and the sort Of athletics now common
in colleges for women would have
been thought immodest.
It may be, as Miss Kennard says,
that girls show less modesty than
their sisters of other times. but who
is there who says that twentieth
century girls" and their standards are
less admired and less worthy Of ad-
miration!-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

INCREASED VALUE OF CANDY
Gain Of IS Per Cent. In United States
During Period Population In.
creased 8 Per Cent.

In five years. according to the CEN
sus Of 1910. there was an increase Of
$47,709,OO0 In the value of the candy
produced in the United States. This
was gain Of 55 per cent during a
period in which the population Of this
country had grown probably not more
than per cent.
These figures show the enormous
increase in the consumption Of candy
by Americans. Children will be

That can't be emphasized too strong

the curves imaginable. but II he
can't put the ball where he wants it.

AN OLD ORCHARD
Increase in Size and Color Of Fruit
10 Very Largely Due to JudIcious
Use Of Prune Saw.

(By q. VAN SMITH. Colorado Agricui-

Our attention Is being called every

such . rejuvenation. but the increase
in size and color OF fruit Is very large
