Steps Taken For Formation
of the 'Kenosha Driving
Club on Monday Night.
GET OPTION ON S0MERs FARM

Twenty Kenosha men interested in
the promotion of the "sport of kings
met on Monday evening and took the
initial steps for the formation of the
e Kenosha Driving Club. The plans
are now well under way and it is pretty
certain thai before the next season of
racing opens a splendid half mile
track will have been built on the linn
its of Kenosha and the members of the
club will have completed arrangements
for series of race meets.
For several weeks plans for the for
nation of the organization have been
discussed and these plans eliminated
in the meeting on Monday evening.
1t is planned to form stock com
pany to provide for the building of the
track and grandstands, and it is ex-
pected that close to $4,000 will be raised
among the men interested in the rae
ing game. The committee in charge of
formulating plans have secured an OPP
ton on twenty seven acres of land di-
rectly west of the rope factory and
along the tracks of the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric RA., and this is pro-
posed as the site for the new race
track. 1t will be half mile track
and it is the plan of the leaders in the
new organization to have a baseball
diamond located in the center of the
track with view of making the new
pleasure park the permanent home of
baseball as well as racing in Kenosha.
At the meeting on Monday night
| stock to the amount of $4,000 was sub
scribed and it is not planned to begin
the construction of the track and
stands until after all of the stock of
the proposed company has been sold.
We feel certain that this move
ment is one that will appeal to the peo-
pie of Kenosha, = said one of the pro-
motors of the new movement this morn
ing, "and we want to be assured of
financial support before we conclude
our plans. We feel that there are a
hundred men in Kenosha who would
be willing to invest a hundred dollars
IN such an organization and we expect
to find them. There has always been a
real demand for race meets in Keno.
sha, and we are planning to meet that
demand and at the same time provide
for permanent ball park. The land
is located ideally for the purpose and
it is decidedly easy of access. The
lmen who take stock can rest assured
that the value of the land alone will
Safeguard their investment.

HITS PRINTING BUSINESS.
Picture Service" Used by Newspap
ers Gets Big Boost in Price.

The newspapers of the country are
among the first to feel the boost in
prices due to the war in Europe and
this boost is due largely to the fact
that many chemicals used in the repro
duction of pictures are imported from
Germany and other European countries
Letters today announced an increase OF
one hundred per cent in the prices
charged for picture service and it is
declared that the prices will be even
higher later. Hydro-cocone which is
used to a considerable extent in max
ing picture plates, has advanced from
Al cents to $12 pound since the open
ing of the war and many of the other
chemicals used in the process have
either doubled, tripled, or quadurpled
in price. The photo-engraving art is
declared to have been harder hit than
any other business by the continuation
of the war.

FIGHTS FOR SEVERAL OFFICES
Eleven Applicants Seek Examination
When Government Test is Started at
College of Commerce This Morning
Three Have No Opposition.

There is going to be lively COMPETE
ton for positions as fourth class post
masters in the smaller villages of Ke-
nosha county and this morning when
Charles Maegaard, secretary of the To-
cal civil board, called the examination
for postmasters at the College of Com
merce there were eleven applications
on hand to hold his or her job There
are six postoffices of the fourth class
in Kenosha county subject to the re-
cent civil service order of the post
master general. These include the of
fees at Pleasant Prairie, Somers, Bas-
sett, Silver Lake, Salem and Bristol.
This is the entire list of offices out
side of the city of Kenosha where the
annual receipts are more than $3.50 a
year. The order of the postmaster gen
eral has been held to apply only to
such Offices. There is total of seven
teen fourth class postofices in the
county, but a large majority of them
fail to fall under the rule.
A lot of interest is being taken in
the examination of residents in the vii
lagos and in some of them it is declared
that already a real healthy fpost-
o1ice fight" is on.
There is no opposition to the re-
appointment of N. E. Thompson of
Somers, Mrs. Flora Turner of Bristol,
and George Hildebrant of Bassett IS
Station, but all three of these govern
ment officials appeared this morning to
take the examination and successful
outcome of the test will give them as
surance that they will retain their of

People who do not keep in touch with
It's affairs and who take it for granted
that the Humane society of this county
has either ceased to exist or at the best
become moribund organization, are
occasionally agreeably surprised by an
advertisement such as appears in the
Evening News today or by some an
nouncement which shows that the So
ciety in the person of its agent at
least is very much alive and still carrv-
ing on the work for which it was form
ed. While it is the custom of the
Humane society and of all of it's
agents to work as quietly as possible
i can occasionally use the regular
channels of publicity when it is ex-
pedient to do so and with good effect.
People who have been spared the
humiliation of arrest and public trial
certainly know that their escape was
due to the mercy or contempt Of the
officers of the organization and not to
any reluctance on the part of the said
officials to use the power of the law to
enforce the orders of the society agents
whenever such course is considered
necessary. There is a crying need for
Just the kind of work the society is
doing in this community as evidenced
by just such cases of extreme cruelty
to animals noted in the advertisement
mentioned above and it is no credit to
the community that the burden of this
work is all left on the shoulders of one
man. That he is entirely competent to
handle 1T is no excuse for the members
of the organization in the city who fail
to support him even to the extent of
supplying sufficient funds to properly
carry on the work.
