SUBMIT TO PEOPLE.
Winnebago County finds Way TO Dis
pose of tuberculosis hospital problem

The vote shows that a general
knowledge of tuberculosis has resulted
from the educational campaign, which
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosi Assoc
citation and allied organizations have
been conducting, and that the people
are not only willing but eager to do
something to meet the white plague
problem, = said Dr. Hoyt E. Dearholt,
executive secretary of the state anti
tuberculosis association, in speaking of
the recent referendum in Winnebago
county, where the people voted, by
large majority, to bond the county to
build tuberculosis sanatorium.
THE will of the people was clearly
shown in this election, with majority
of 1,261 votes in favor of the bond
issue. The public interest was shown
by the unusually large vote polled and
the fact that the sanatorium bond is
sue received far more votes than the
total votes cast for the candidates Of
any one Office. People went to the
polls to vote for the sanatorium who
were not interested in the rest of the
election.
Though initiated by few in OPP
position to the sanatorium, this refer
enaum has been a good thing 1t has
demonstrated alphabetically and conclu-
sively that people are in favor of
properly caring for the consumptives,
and county board members will not
have further occasion to doubt the
will of their constituents.
''With a broad minded progressive
ness, characteristic of Wisconsin, sew
eral of the county boards in Wiscon-
sin have already made provision for
caring for their tubercular patients
and others are planning to in the near
future. This enthusiastic expression
of the people in Winnebago county will
give them additional assurance and
we may expect sanatoria in several
more counties within a year. -

Former Keeper of Kenosha
Light Station Died Today
at Home in South Haven
DEATH FOLLOWS AN INJURY
(From Fridays Daily

Louis Napolean de Diemar, aged rs
years, formerly keeper Of the Kenosha
light station, and man widely known
throughout Kenosha county, died at the
hospital at South Haven Mich, just
after midnight this morning. His
death came as result of injuries re-
ceived last Monday when he was
struck by a train. The accident oc-
cured near the de Diemar home in
South Haven where the deceased had
for the past ten years been in the en-
ploy Of the United States government
as a lighthouse keeper. On Wednesday
the physicians declared that it would
be necessary to amputate the right foot
Of the patient. He failed to rally
from the operation and death came
early today.
The death of L. n. de Diemar marks
the passing of a man who had much to
do with the earlier history of Keno
sha. For many years he was in the
official service in Kenosha and during
these years he became known to almost
every person in the city. He was a
native of Toronto, Canada, where he
was born January 81, 1916. He came
to Wisconsin when boy seven years
Of age and settled with his parents on
a farm in the town Of Somers. In 1861
he enlisted as member of Company
e of the First Wisconsin Volunteers
at Kenosha and joined the regiment at
Milwaukee. He was mustered out on
October Sth and at once re-enlisted
and was present at the battle of
Lamb IS Ferry. He lost his arm at
Perryville, October 8, 1862, when a
mimic ball carried away his right arm.
He was mustered out November 1,
1862 after fourteen months of service.
At the close of the war Mr.. de Die
mar came to Kenosha and in 1872 he
was appointed principal keeper of the
Kenosha light. He retained this posi-
tion until ten years ago when he was
transferred and named as keeper of
the light at South Haven. During his
long service at the light house he was
familiar figure about the harbor.
Before beginning his services as keep
er of the Kenosha light he was collec-
tor of the town of Somers for two
terms and for several years he held
the Office Of deputy sheriff.
On October IA, 1873, Mr.. de Diemar
was married to Miss Mary Eliza Tim
me, sister of Captain E. G.. Timme,
who with four children survives him.
The children are Louis N. de Diemar-
connected with the force of the Keno
sha postofice; Edwad de Diemar,
manager for the American Brass Com
pany at Cincinnati; Mrs. T. Gaastra of
Chicago, and Miss Elsie de Diemar of
Chicago.

CLAIM BIG INDUSTRY MAY LOSE
Movement is Started to Secure Formal
Action on Part of Growers of Racine
and Kenosha County Free Sugar to
Hit Beet Business Hard.


Farmers Of Kenosha county, espe
cially those who have contracted with
beet companies, to devote hundreds of
acres of land to the growing of sugar
beetS this year, are considerably
alarmed because of the intention of
congress to place sugar on the free list
and it is probable that a meeting of the
Racine and Kenosha County Sugar Beet
Growers association will be called and
resolutions adopted praying congress
not to put sugar on the free list, as it
would mean the closing down Of the
beet sugar factories, five in number, in
Wisconsin, and also would mean a
heavy loss to the farmers. While the
farmers could utilize their land for the
raising of other produce, it is claimed
that the growing of sugar beets tends
to make the land more fertile. 1t is
also claimed that the rotation of sugar
beet crops on the farms of Wisconsin
has raised the standard of many of
them
Beet sugar industry has increased
1900 per cent since the present tariff
was enacted in 1897 During 1912,
100000 tons of sugar beets were
raised in Wisconsin and 100000
pounds Of sugar manufactured for
which the producers received 1865, 900.
1t is estimated that 100000 acres of
beets can be successfully grown in
Wisconsin. There are five sugar beet
factories in Wisconsin, each plant rep
resenting an investment Of at least
$3.50 900.
The present agitation over the tariff
question already has had disastrous eff
fects throughout the country in the beet
sugar industry. In Winnebago county
the farmers, together with the Mer-
chants & Manufacturers association
Of Oshkosh, had raised 100000 for the
erection of a factory in that county.
All further work on the project has
stopped, Should the tariff be reduced
the factory will not be built. These
conditions exist in many states.
At present rs per cent of the sugar
consumed in the United States is refn-
ed from raw sugar imported by eastern
companies. These companies are the
only agitators for free sugar. They
would be the only ones to gain by it.
1t costs these eastern companies ST. a
ton to refine the sugar which they i'm
port. Importing 100000 tons annual
", $21,000,0o0 is spent in the United
States by these industries, while $780,
100000 leaves the country to pay for
the raw product. The government col
lects Approximately $50,000,000 by tar
if. The beet sugar industry in this
country, manufacturing 100000 tons
at cost Of $40 ton, distributes $7O,-
100000 in the country annually.

fore the encampment to reception.
This year they change the program
and will have charge Of highly inter
esting entertainment in the Armory

at Neenah and the line of march will
be from there to Menasha where the
parade will be dismissed and the mem
bers can take street cars back to the
Armory and resume their legislative
duties.
There is not likely to be a contest
for department commander Col. War
ner of the Thirty-sixth Wisconsin who
was brought forward by Fairchild post
last fall, will not appear as candi-
date, thus leaving the field clear for
Capt. G. II. Henry Of Eau Claire.
