TO GIVE BowLERs A CHANCE.
Directors of State Bowling Assn. Adopt
New Plan for Electing Directors.

New Plan for Electing Directors.
Charles Deffry attended the meeting
OF the Wisconsin State Bowling Asso-
citation held in Milwaukee on Sunday
afternoon. The board of directors of
the association have decided that in
the future every man entering for the
state tournament viii get chance to
vote on the election of directors of the
association regardless of his attending
the state meeting of the organization.
With each entry blank there viii be
furnished blank ballot for members
of the board of directors and the bowl
ers will be permitted to vote these bal
lots at any time after the opening of
the tournament. 1t is thought that the
new plan win result in the bowlers of
the state taking lot more interest in
the makeup of the board of directors
of the state association. The directors
will as in the past, select the city to
entertain the annual tournament of the
state boWlers.

Children of Kenosha Schools
to Have Annual Play Festi-
val at Bonds Woods.
IDEAL SETTING FOR EVENTS

The elementary, schools Of the city
are preparing for great play festival
to be given the first week in June.
The exact date and the full program
will be announced later.
This will be the largest thing Of the
kind that Kenosha has ever seen. Full
ly two thousand children will take part.
Last year, a play festival of the lit
tie folks was held in Library Park.
Only the kindergarten and first grade
children took part in that one; but
the 1914 celebration takes in all grades
and will be held in the Bond Park.
A place has been selected which pro-
vides natural amphitheatre of rare
beauty and almost perfect adaptation
to the needs Of such an occasion.
A level tract, the food plain of the
creek, affords a fine stage for the drills
and games.
All winter the drills preparatory to
this event have been in progress.
Those in charge of these preparations
are as follows:
General manager of the program, E.
E. Better, principal of Durkee school;
H. B. Murphy, principal of the Balm
school, will have charge Of the mass
drill; Mrs. H. M. Mckenzie, principal
Of the Weiskopf school, will manage
the, games for girls; and E. F. Ran
dali, principal of the Frank school, and
Mr.. Better, will have charge of the
games for boys. Miss Hood with Miss
Washburn to assist, is planning the
games for the kindergarten and first
grades.
There will be the same display of
color that made the festival of last
year such beautiful spectacle.
A sunny day in early June will be
selected for this joyful occasion. The
children are enthusiastically drilling
for it. Those beautiful banks in Bond
Park, shaded and cool, will afford OBJ
portunities for thousands to see the
children on the grassy stage below.
1t will be great day.

BAND CONCERT DRAWS.
Great Crowd Gathers to Hear First
Concert Of the Season.

The first open air concert of the
spring in Kenosha was given on Mar
ket Square late Sunday afternoon by
the Italian band under the direction of
Florindo Ferrarese and notwithstanding
the fact that the afternoon was show
cry more than a thousand people were
on hand for the concert. The playing
of the band was real delight and the
perfect ensemble work of the must
clans came as a surprise to the great
crowd. The program was made up of
both classic and popular selections and
it proved a most attractive one. Plans
are being made to have concerts given
at different parts of the city at regular
intervals during the summer months
and it is certain that they will prove
one of the real features of the summer
amusements in Kenosha.

Merlin Hull Candidate For
Governor Strong For Pub
Lefty in State Work.
SECURE FOR ALL TROUBLE

Publicity as a remedy for curing sex-
travagant appropriations and a greater
economy along all lines of government
activity were advocated by Speaker
Merlin Hull of Black River Falls. re-
publican candidate for governor at the
September primaries, in an interview
today. Speaker Hull was in Madison
attending the session of the state board
OF public affairs. He says he is greatly
encouraged with the outlook of his
campaign and considering that the con
test has only begun he is enthusiastic
over the support already received.
+ 1.-THE discussion of questions of tax
alton will have far-reaching effect
aside from its bearing upon the poll
tical situation in the campaign said
Speaker Hull. F'The people are thor
oughly aroused on the matter of pub
lie expenditures. They are demanding
to know the reason for higher taxes
and the rapid growth of the cost of
government. While much has been
said about the increase in state expen-
ditures and much information is BEING
published on that point, particularly in
relation to the vast program for new
buildings and land purchases which
include large part of the legislative
appropriations in recent years, there
is also live discussion of financial
affairs of every county and municipali-
ty. This will have benefcent effect.
The next legislature will be far
more cautious regarding appropriations
than those in recent years, no matter
what may be its political complexion
The relation of expenditures to the
normal revenues will be the guide. The
same rule is already being applied in
many municipalities, where taxation
was leading issue in the recent NUM-
cipal elections. All along the line
there will be a more careful survey of
public expenditures. 1t win continue
far into the future and will result
III greater econmy as well as greater
efficiency.
"Another result Of the discussion of
state appropriations will be the de-
mand for greater publicity regarding
all state institutions and all depart
ments. The people not only want to
know how much is being spent, but
they want to know what it is spent for
and the results obtained Publicity is
one good remedy for extravaganza. -

Man Serving Five Years in State Pri-
son, Asks Parole be Recommended,

John Vizje, a Kenosha county man,
serving a term of FIVE years in the state
prison at Waupun, has appealed to the
state board Of control for parole.
Vizje was formerly a saloonkeeper and
at the time Of his arrest in September
1911, he was in charge Of place on
Main street He was charged with
contributing to the delinquency of
young woman. He was brought to Ke-
nosha from South Bend and convicted
after long trial. He asserted that
the young woman had brought him to
kenosha. Judge Randall in discussing
the case this morning, declared that
the facts in the case were of such a
nature that he was not of the opinion
that any clemency should be shown
to Yizje and it is probable that no
recommendation for his release will be
sent to the state board.
