SCOTT MUST RESIGN.
Popular Undersherif Recently Elected
Supervisor May Not Hold Both Offices.

Tom Scott must make a decision as
to whether he will serve the sheriff
Of kenosha county as an undersherif
or the people of his home ward as a
member of the county board of super
visors, this city attorney, John c.
Slater, declared this morning. At the
time Mr.. Scott was elected supervisor
from the third ward by one of the big
gest majorities given any candidate at
the recent election he was holding the
office of undersheriff. The office of
undersheriff is county Office and a
small salary for the officer is provided
by the county board. On this account
Mr.. Scott may not hold both Offices
He intimated this morning that he
would resign as undersheriff as he de-
clines to refuse to accept a duty i'm
posed upon him by so large majority
Of the people of his home ward 1t is
probable that Mr.. Scott will continue
to be deputy sheriff as it would be
possible to hold this office and still re-
tain his place as member of the
county board.

SOCIAL CENTERS ARE NEEDED
Judge Randall as Speaker at Meeting
Urges That More Safeguards be
Thrown About Young Womsn-May
Use Schools as Social Centers.

A movement for an extension of the
work of the Big Sister organization IN
Kenosha was given new impetus at a
mass meeting held at the Guild Hall
on Tuesday afternoon and the meet
/ ing proved such a successful one that
the movement is assured greater sup
port in the city in the future More
than two hundred leading women Of
the city were present at the meeting
and the interest shown in the work
gave assurance that Kenosha is going
/ to have one of the strongest organi-
cations in the state. Miss Rosalie Ly-
man, who is now in charge of the work
in Kenosha, explained the work that
is being carried on and showed the
great demand for further support for
the movement.
Judge G. L. Randall of the munich
pal court was the principal speaker of
the meeting and he made a strong ap-
an effort to throw better conditions
about working girls. He spoke Of the
demand felt every day for a better
character Of amusements for these
young women and declared that much
of the delinquency among young girls
of Kenosha was directly traceable to
the fact that they were not provided
with proper amusements. He declar
cd that at the present time there was
no place in the city where a welcome
was handed out to these young women
and that they were forced to seek their
amusement at the dance halls and at
places where there was nothing to adj
vance their moral condition.
! Miss Peterson, in charge of the Big
Sister movement in Racine, spoke of
the work that was being done in that
| city and declared that Kenosha Of
fered even a large field than Racine.
Other speakers included Mrs. Helen
IIarbert and Mrs. Mary D. Bradford.
The last speaker suggested plans for
the opening Of social sessions in con-
nection with the public schools of the
city and declared that in this manner
better amusements could be offered for
the girls Of the city.
The organization is in need of funds
the next few weeks a canvass Of the
city will be made to secure pledges.
1t is estimated that from 1900 to
So 600 will be needed annually for car
rying on the work outlined. It is
proposed to secure pledges for month
ly and annual contributions for the
support Of the work and consider
able amount was secured at the meet
ing on Tuesday.
The grea field for the work Of the
organization in the city has made it
decidedly popular with the women of
theNcity and they have shown their
appreciation Of the work by generous
contributions in the past. The propos-
ed extensions Of the work will demand
a larger fund and the officers of the
movement feel certain that this de-
mand will be met by the people of
the city.

on Tuesday evening to aid the Racine
| lodge in the dedication of it's new
| $4,000 club house which is declared
to be the finest club house ever erected
| by any lodge Of the order II VISIONS \.
1t was a notable night for the order
in Southern Wisconsin and the dedi-

one of the largest gatherings Of mem
bers of the order ever seen in Wiscon-
sin. Large delegations were present
from Milwaukee, Beloit, GAINESVILLE,
| Appleton, Waukesha, Oshkosh, but the
largest delegation of visitors came
from Kenosha. 1t was led by Exalted
Ruler G. E. Randall and two special
cars secured for the purpose were
packed to the doors.
Racine was in her most hospital
mood for the reception of the guests
of the evening and everything posi-
BILE was done to show the visitors that
the latch string will always be out at
the new club house.
1t was a notable gathering from
many standpoints. Among the dis
tinguished guests were Grand Exalted
Ruler Thomas B. Mills of Superior;
the Hon. Barrett O'Hara, lieutenant
governor of Illinois; Hon. John G.
Karel, president of the WISCONSIN Elks
Association; Charles Oellerich, district
deputy grand Exalted Ruler for the
eastern district of Wisconsin, and the
exalted rulers and past exalted rulers
of many of the lodges in the state.
The beautiful new club house was
richly decorated for the dedication
ceremonies and before the formal pro-
gram the visitors were given chance
to visit all parts of the building. ITS
splendid parlors and club rooms, the
spacious lodge room and the various
rooms furnishing amusement to the
club members were all arranged with

returned home early this morning and
they are high in their praise of the
hospitality offered them in Racine.
Nothing but praise IS heard of the new
club house and it is certain that the
members Of the Kenosha lodge will at
once start work toward securing a new
and better club house home which will
at least in a measure meet the demands
of the Elks in Kenosha as the lodge
in Racine has met the demand for an
up to date club house in that city.
On Thursday evening the Racine
Elks will entertain at dedication ball
and on Saturday evening the dedica-
ton banquet will take place. Mem
bers Of the Kenosha lodge are plan
ming to attend both of these functions.

PROLOGUE

This humorous tale, written
TN McCutcheon,s best vein, is
faultless in its morals, despite its
title, and cumulative in its inter-
est. 1t may be stated in strict
confidence that Edith did not
actually have more than one hus-
band; consequently the gentle
reader need harbor no appre-
hension on this score. Like all
other estimabze married women,
Edith had only one husband, but
circumstances arose through
which it seemed necessary for
her husband to be in two places
at the same time, and how this
mas accomplished and what the
outcome was- But wait bit; let
George Barr Cutcheon, the
prince of story tellers, unfold

VINCENT ASTOR.

Mr.. Astor did not believe that most of
mankind would act to destroy. So he
declared his intention of housekeeping.
1t was a %stupendous task which he
had embarked III. and no one realized
this better than Astor himself. The
number of his properties runs into the
thousands. Personal investigation Of
each house or bit Of land was out Of
the question. So the young man of
twenty-one set a staff of Investigators
to work at the task. 1t is still going
on. 1t is not only a big job and Il
slow job. but an extremely costly one.
even for the possessor Of over S7O.-
100000.
Mr.. Astor became the head Of the
family in April, 1912. and his great
work just referred to didn't become
known for eight months. by which
time it was we'll under way. Meantime
all sorts Of little things that indicated
his desire to be a real. not a nominal.
head Of his family were happening.
On Nov. Is last Mr.. Astor was TWEEN
ty-one and came formally into posses
sion of his fathers estate. There was
no celebration. The young man had
been at his desk the morning before
and had left to go yachting with a
friend. The morning of the 18th saw
him again at his desk at 8 o'clock. He
worked until . in the afternoon. Then
he left to so to Ferncliffe. his place
on the Hudson, for a quiet birthday
dinner with his mother and sister.
Before he left he told the staff to look
for him at his desk next morning. and
the next morning found him there.
The waxing interest Of Mr.. Aston in
social work was shown by news Of two
beuefactions on successive days. A
few weeks ago it vas announced that
he would found at Rhinebeck an up to
date children's convalescent home.
Then came word Of his plan to give
an outing every Saturday throughout
the warm weather to 5000 poor wo-
men and children. including a sail to
Bath Beach and back. luncheon and
swimming. This work Mr.. Astor dele
gated to the Children's Aid society. and
he pays the bills. With his increasing
social and business activities he has
not neglected the sports he loves. In
the last half year he has bought two
powerful racing automobiles and has
arranged to build II 1900 ton yacht.

it be devoted to philantl,ropic purposes?
Will it result for good or evil?"
1t has taken this length of time to

Astor recently began the practice Of
giving an outing every Saturday to
5000 women and children of New York
city. These continue throughout the
warm weather and consist of Il days
sail and luncheon at the seashore.
His wealth fires tile imagination; his
youth, for he is only Of age, is an
other factor. and the fact that he has
barely had Il chance to show his tastes
and inclinations caps the reasons why
everything he does or says is c%ynosural
to most Of his fellow men.
What has Vincent Astor done since
coming into his great fortune? What
bent has he shown? What are his
tastes. his ways. and what, judging by
his initial acts. does he intend to do
with life?
The streak Of modesty in him has so
far kept him from telling any one of
his aims and purposes. It is only by
his performance that we know him.
Three months after he came into the
AstOr fortune he had worked out a
comprehensive scheme of administra-
ton which involved the investigation
of all the properties of the estate. 1t
did not become generally known Until
last December that he was conducting
a vice hunt in his holdings.
This was the result of Mr.. Astor's

that it was negligence in this respect
