Judge Belden Directs Commission to
Place More Names in Court Box.
There is going to be lot of new
faces in the jury box for trial of cases
at the March term of the circuit court
as on Wednesday afternoon Judge Bel
den issueS formal order to the jury
commission of the county directing
them to add from $50 to 500 new names
to the list of jurors for service in this
county 1t mas been several years since
the jury list was revised, but the revi-
sion will be completed before the next
jury is drawn. The names of the pros
pective jurors will be selected by the
members of the commission from the
various poll lists in the city and coun-
ty. No rule is provided for the selee-
ton of the names more than that all

be issued by Judge Randall in the
municipal court, 1t is expected that
the commissioners will be bombarded
with requests toA get on the jury roll
and an effort will be made to have the
commissioners include in the list as far
as possible men who have been tempo

moral starvation to the community
Petty sectarianism is a scourge that
blights the life, and the church preju-
dice saps the vitality, of many com
munities. An over-churched commun.
ity is a crime against religion, seri-
Gus handicap to society and a useless
tax upon agriculture
While denominations are essential
and church pride commendable, the
high teaching of universal Christianity
must prevail if the rural church is to
fulfill its mission to agriculture,
We frequently have three or four
churches in a community which is not
able to adequately support one. Small
congregations attend services once a
month and ali fail to perform the re-
ligious functions of the community
The division of religious forces and
the breaking into fragments Of moral
efforts is ofttimes little less than a
calamity and defeats the very purpose
they seek to promote.
The evils of too many churches can
be minimized by cooperation The
social and economic life of rural
community are respective units and
cannot be successfully divided by de-
nominationai lines, and the churches
can only occupy this important field
by cooperation and coordination
The efficient country church will
definitely serve its community by lead
ing in ali worthy efforts at community
building, in uniting the people in all
cooperative endeavors for the gen.
eral welfare of the community and in
arousing a real love for country life
and loyalty to the country home and
these results can only be successfully
accomplished by the united effort of
the press, the school, the church and
organized farmers

The glass dome Of the Palace of
Horticulture is said by engineers to
be the largest hemispherical dome in
the world, being 1865 feet in height
and 1852 feet in diameter. An idea
of the magnitude of this dome may
be had when it is compared with
some Of the most famous domes now
in existence. The diameter of the
Pantheon of Rome is 142 feet; that
of the Duomo of Santa Maria del
Fiore at Florence, 139 feet; the
United States Capitol, Washington,
D. c., 1862 feet; while the famous
dome of St. Peters at Rome is 1879
feet in diameter. The other dimen-
sions of the Palace of Horticulture
are equally imposing, the building
covering $4,000 square feet Of
ground as against $4,000 feet cover
ed by the Mosque Of st. Sophia. The
building was erected at a cost of

The question Of the disposition of
the $4,000 held by the Kenosha Auto
mobile Club as a road improvement
fund was discussed at meeting of the
members of the club held at the Elks
Club rooms on Wednesday evening, but
no final decision was reached in the
matter and at the close of the meeting
it was decided to refer the whole mat
tel to the legislative committee com
posed of Attorneys A. E. Buckmaster
and A. L. Drury and Judge G. E.
Randall.
Not one of the members of the club
who had been instrumental in the col
lection of the fund demanded that it
be returned to the men who had given
1t and these people reported that there
had been no demand on them for the
return of the money. "Let it ride,
was theS decision Of nearly all of the
donors and many of them are members
of the Kenosha Automobile Club. The
committee will investigate just what
can be done under the law and make a
formal report to the club at meet
ing to be held sometime later in the
winter. The final decision of the club
will be made before the annual town
meetings of the towns so that should
the towns desire to still secure the
money it will be possible.
The future work of the club to con
tinue the read crusade was discussed at
some length and whatever is done will
largely depend ON the attitude of the
state highway commission toward the
acceptance Of gifts for road work. If
the commission shows a willingness to
accept funds from individuals it is
probable that the Kenosha club will
continue to work along the same lines
as'in former years. The new slogan
of the club members is "Clean Up the
Geneva Road" The work this year
carried the improvements of this road
to point within mile and half of
the west limits of the town of Pleasant
Prairie, but it is declared that the mile
and half of road unimproved is now
the worst stretch Of road in the county.
\ lot of the people residing out in that
section of the county are favorable to
the Improvement of the road clear west
to the county line, but if funds can not
be secured for the work they would
be pretty well satisfied if the road were
concreted to the town line on the west.
Offers of financial aid for this work
have been made by many interested
parties and most of them are not resi-
dents of the town of Pleasant Prairie
The road is a sort of a gateway to the
lake regions of the county and with
the growth of the summer resorts on
these lakes there is demand for the
best possible roads to lead to them.
The meeting of the club proved at
tractive to the members and more
than fifty of them were present Fol

fet luncheon was served.

The church, the press and the school
form triple alliance of progress that
guides the destiny of every commun-

civilization would wither and die and
through them life may attain its great
est blessing, power and knowledge.
The farmers of this nation are greatly
indebted to this social triumvirate for
their uplifting influence, and on behalf
OF the American plowmen / want to
thank those engaged in these high
callings for their able and efficient
service, and I shall offer to the press
a series of articles on cooperation
between these important influences
and the farmers in the nope of in
creasing the efficiency of all by mu-
tual understanding and organized eff

as a member of the District Mission,
