A NATION WIDE MOVEMENT
Not Money But Three Car Loads of
Corn From Fields of Kenosha County
Is the Toll Levied on This County to
Avert Starvation in Belgium.

Three car loads of corn to relieve the
suffering of the people of war stricken
BEGUN is the request that has been
made of the farmers of Kenosha coun-
ty. 1t has been made by the Wisconsin
Advancement association through the
agency Of the Kenosha Retailers as
ISOLATION. For weeks other portions of
the state have been making contribu-
tions Of supplies to be sent to the peo-
pie of Belgium in neutral ships, but
no formal request had been made to
Kenosha people to join in the move
ment until this morning. Secretary
Theleen of the Retailers association is
planning to send an appeal to the peo-
pie Of the county to contribute supplies
to this big movement.
"I am fully aware that Kenosha is
in need of lot of things for the sup
port of her own worthy people, said
Secretary Theleen this morning, "but
the people in the rural districts Of the
county are seldom called upon in these
big movements along charitable lines
and [ feel certain that they will con-
slider it a pleasure to aid in relieving
the distress of a people of stricken
country. We are not making any re-
quests for money, but we would like TO
be able to show that Kenosha county
has heard this call for help and has re-

one dollar or ten dollar consideration
placed in the transfers.
Because Of this hundreds Of thous-
ands of dollars are lost every year to
the community in taxes.
The real estate market has suffered
for the reason that it has become in
creasingly difficult for the general pub
lie to form any idea as to actual values
and the effect has been to create dis
trust in the real estate market.
It is, of course, possible to place a
nominal consideration in deeds now,
but it is obligatory upon the seller to
indicate by the revenue stamps the act

one dollar for each one thousand. In
case Of mortgage the stamps indicate
the value of the equity, so that the
actual price is made manifest in every
case
Severe penalties are provided for
any evasion of the terms of the law,
a fine of $50 or six months in jail, or
both, at the discretion of the court.

stronger interest in the schools, not
only from the teacher, but from the
officials and the parents. He declared
that the schools could only be made
a real success when they brought com
plete cooperation between the home
and the school. During the day he
spoke of many movements that are he
ing made in Wisconsin to increase the
efficiency of the school. 1t was not a
one man convention by any means as
many of the directors of the various
districts and the teachers took a
healthy interest in the discussions
brought out during the two sessions.
County Superintendent Kerwin cri-
ticized conditions of some of the build
ings and grounds in Kenosha county.
He urged the directors of the various
districts to show a greater interest in
the care of the buildings in order that
they might be kept in perfect repair
and in order that the grounds about
them might be beautifed and made at
tractive. He spoke of the country
school as the community gathering
place and asked that in the future
these places be made just as attractive
as the homes.
The school board conventions in the
past have been productive of great
good in advancing the school work of
the county and it is certain that the
officials of the various school districts
will gather many points of interest
from the meeting today. Interest in
these conventions has been growing
from year to year until the annual con.
vention is now looked forward to as
the big event of the year among the
officials of the rural schools.
Many informal discussions were held
among school officials during the day
and several movements were inaugur.
ated to bring about better conditions
in these schools.

CRITICISM FOR BUILDINGS
County superintendent Kerwin Finds
School Directors Neglect Work of
Keeping Buildings and Grounds in
Good Condition

A strong plea for united action on
the part of teachers, school officials and
parents to bring the rural schools of
Kenosha county to higher standard
was made by Rural School Inspector
w. E. Larson of Madison at the annual
convention of the school officials and
teachers held at the court house. Tn
spector Larson was not necessarily cri-
ticising conditions in Kenosha county
but he spoke on the subject, "Some
Recent Movements in School Work and
the Teacher and the School and 1t Is
Relation to the Community. "
Mr.. Larson had an interested audi
ence of more than two hundred and
fifty men and women from all parts of
Kenosha county. Every school district
IN the county was represented at the
annual convention and it was notice
able that there was an unusually large
number of women present at the gath
ering. The schools in the county sus-
pended sessions for the day in order
to allow the teachers to attend the big
annual gathering. County Superinten-
dent John J. Kerwin was in charge of
the meeting. Sessions were held both
this morning and this afternoon and
much of the time was given over to
the addresses by Mr.. Larson. He
spoke at length on the duty of the
school officials and pleaded for a

SURPRISE JUDGE RANDALL.
Well Known Jurist is Guest of Honor
at Most Interesting Gathering.

Judge Clifford E. Randall of the
municipal court, was the guest of honor
at one of the most unique dinners ever
held in Kenosha on Friday evening
for when the judge returned home at
the close of his day on the bench he
found the house in possession of a
company of University of Wisconsin
graduates who had been close personal
friends of the judge during his college
course. The surprise dinner had been
arranged by Mrs. Randall and members
of the old college crowd came from
three states to be present at the re-
union. 1t was complete surprise to
the judge. At half past six oclock
the merry party sat down to dinner
with covers for fourteen and after dim
ner was over they spent the entire
evening recalling pleasant memories of
college life. The guests included Jas.
Thomas of Waukesha; William w.
Storms, district attorney of Racine
county; julius Frank, Appleton; Ed
ward Dempsey, Oshkosh, one of the re-
gents of the University of Wisconsin;
Stephen J. Cowley, of Great Falls, Mon
tana ;Charles Hemingway, of Polo,
Illinois; Judge George w. Taylor and
District Attorney Alfred L. Drury of
Kenosha. It was by all measures the
merriest party held in Kenosha this
winter and it ended only after the
whole company had breakfast with the
judge this morning.

JOY FOR BRIDEGRooMs.
Order From Washington Against Pay
ing War Tax on Marriage Licenses.


ing War Tax on Marriage Licenses
Bridegrooms can still take a little
Christmas good cheer and they will
have knowledge that it is not going to
cost them the extra war tax to get
married. This morning word was sent
out from Milwaukee that q telegram
had been received direct from Wash
ington announcing that it was not nee
essary to put ten cent stamp on APP
plications for marriage icen .es or eu-
genie certificates. The attorney ge1er-
al or some other person of equal au.
thority has held that the government
does not desire to put any stone in the
way of couples desiring to get mar
ried. Up in Milwaukee the county
clerk is now trying to rebate taxes al
ready collected. County Clerk Jones
has not -aquested any stamps on APP
plications as yet and it is clear sailing
for him to follow the federal ruling.
