AFTER FOWL RAFFLES.
Humane Ags. Karnes Makes Complaint
to the City and County Officials.

Agent James II. Karnes of the Keno
sha county branch of the Wisconsin HUI
name society, has make strong pro-
test to the police of the city and to
the sheriff against the continuance of
poultry raffles at saloons in the city
and county. The complaint to the Pc
lice followed vigorous complaint
made to Agent Karnes by a man by the
name of Olsen, who alleged that he
contributed a goodly sum of money to
a rattle in a saloon on Salem avenue
without getting anything for his money.
The agent insists that the raffles are
a plain violation of the laws against
gambling. If the officials start out to
put an end to these raffles they are
promised busy time as raffles are now
being held at nearly all OF the outly-
ing saloons. Years ago the officials put
an end to turkey and geese raffles in
the county, but the custom has been
revived and some of the men in charge
of them are openly advertising them by
hand bills thrown about the city and
county. 1t is probable that the lid will
be clamped down on all of this form
of gambling.

VISITS PARoLED PATIENTS.
Parole Officer G. HI. Hansen Of Mendoza
Spends Day With Local Patients.

G.. II. Hansen of Madison, parole Of
fcer of the Wisconsin state hospital
for the insane at Mendoza, spent the
day in Kenosha making visit to the
half dozen Kenosha patients paroled
from the institution. This is a new
service on the part of the state and
the state now keeps watch on all pa
rolled inmates of the state hospital for
a term of two years after the parole is
granted. In case there is any reason
that the patients be returned prompt
action is taken, but after the two year
period is elapsed the patients are
dropped from the parole list. In addi-
ton to this, Mr.. Hansen makes inves-
LEGATIONS of home conditions before the
paroles are granted. The service is
said to have been found a distinct fea-
ture in handling the affairs Of the hos
pital.

made such a careful search that it is
declared that there will be Thanksgiv-

fore have the people been so liberal in

FIND The MODEL FOR STATE
Work Is Being Done in Many Branches
and Interest of the Students is Being
Kept up-But 35 Of Those Entering
First of Year Have Dropped Out.

"It's fine. have no hesitancy in
saying that the continuation schools of
Kenosha rank among the very highest
IL the state. There is great interest,
great teaching and the students are all
showing the proper spirit y
This was the statement of Warren
e. Hicks of Madison, state superin-
tendent of industrial education, this
morning after he had completed the
work of making an examination of the
continuation schools in Kenosha. Mr..
Hicks was enthusiastic in his discus
sion of the work being done by the
Kenosha schools.
9 would not like to go on record in
saying just what / think of the con-
tinuation schools here" continued Mr..
Hicks. cit might get me in trouble
in some of the other places in the state
where they are going great work. You
can say, however, that the schools here
are simply fine. The rooms are large
and airy and the teachers are showing
9 real interest in the work and it is
the kind of interest that gets real re
suits. We now have these night
schools in twenty-nine of the larger CT
ties in the state and Kenosha is stand
ing right at the top of the list. I no
ticed that the pupils in the night school
here showed real purpose in their
work. Most of them. are people of ma.
ture age and they are Iii the schools
with view of becoming better and
laore useful citizens. Perfect order
was maintained in every one of your
school rooms. Since the first of Sep
TENDER when the schools were organic
ed there has been steady growth of
the attendance. Three new students
were received last night and since the
opening of the schools, but thirty-fve
have dropped out. This is a remark
ably good showing. The Kenosha
schools have eight hundred pupils and
with loss of but thirty-fve the show
ing is remarkable.
Superintendent Hicks was kept busy
during his stay in Kenosha and he was
given chance to visit practically
every one of the schools and classes
were in operation in all branches
taught. He showed an especial interest
in the work being done in the sewing
schools for women and in some of the
advanced schools which have been open
ed during the past few months. In
opening these advanced classes Keno
sha has taken step in advance of
any of the other cities of the state and

Uses to attract attention to Kenosha
from all cities where the continuation
schools are in operation. The Kenosha
schools are now being pointed out as a
model for the schools in other cities.
