MEETING POSTPONED.
Smallpox at Bristol Causes Postpon-
nent of Old Settlers Meeting.

The smallpox epidemic at Bristol has
struck the Old Settlers Club and this
morning President P. G. Torrey of the
club, sent out a notice that the annual
meeting, which had been announced for
next Saturday morning, had been in
definitely postponed. None of the trus-
tees or members of the club have had
the smallpox, but many of the members
reside in the town of Bristol and they
thought it wise plan to postpone the
meeting. There have been no new de
velopment in connection with the pre-
valence of the disease at Bristol. Few
new quarantines have been established
and the people of the village are tax
ing a common sense view of the mat
ter and getting vaccinated. On &C
count of the presence of the disease
the Christmas entertainments in Bris-
toll will not be held until after the dan
ger of eontagion is passed.

The State Tax Commission
Shows Increase of so Per
Cent in Fifteen Years.
RANK kENosHA COUNTY HIGH

steady increase in the value of
farm land in Kenosha county during
the past fifteen years is shown by
report Of the Wisconsin State Tax Com
mission just issued and the report so
far as Ke1osha county is concerned
shows that the value has increased
$42.50 an acre in the last decade
and half.
The values of the farm land as Civ
en- out by the commission are based en-
,lrely on actual sales values. For the
fifteen years the commission has
made copies of every transfer of farm
property made in this county and OH
the figures secured from these reports
the actual values have been worked
The price set by the state commission
is considerably above the price set on
form property by local assessors of
the county.
The report of the commission shows
that there has been no backward step
IL the advance of farm property values
in the county. In 1914 when the COM
mission began to take the sales value
to determine real values the property
in this county showed an average value
If $70.75. In 1909 this average value
has crawled up to $4,000. 1t was de-
clared at this time that the develop
ment of the dairy business in the coun-
ty had much to do with the advance
iii the value Of farm lands. In the last
five years the advance has not been
so rapid, but the average value in 1914
is placed by the commission at $11325.
In only eight of the counties of the
state is the value of the property plac-
ed higher than in Kenosha county.
Milwaukee county leads with valua-
tion of $4,000. Walworth is second
with $129.75; Calumet third with
$127.50. Then follows Waukesha
$125.5o; Ozaukee $122.75; Dodge $116.-
rs; Racine $116.25; Dane $115.5O and
Kenosha $113.25.
1t is interesting to note that the
counties in which there are large cities
have the highest values of farm lands.
An exception to this rule is found in
Walworth county which has no large
cities, but where the land is valued at
the second highest price in the state
Of course there is lot of land in all
the counties valued at great deal more
than the price stated, but this is the
average price of all lands including the
swamp land as well as the good pro-
ductive soil.
Kenosha farmers are beginning to
appreciate that it pays to look after
their farms and it is certain that with
in few years Kenosha county will
be much higher up in the scale of land
values in Wisconsin.

University of Wisconsin Not
to Offer Mid-Winter Short
Course For Farmers.
FEAR or CATTLE INFECTION

Owing to the continued spread of
foot and mouth disease among the
herds and focks of Dane county and it's
recent appearance near Madison, the
Ten Days Farmers Course at the Col
lege of Agriculture has been called off.
This action was taken at a special
meeting of the faculty, the immediate
cause of the decision being the contin-
ued spread of the epidemic in other
than the originally infected territory in
Dane county. Outbreaks have lately
been reported but very few miles dis
tant from the University Farm. The
Station Staff felt that they should do
everything possible to prevent further
spread of the infection and to protect
the states experimental and demon
stration herds at Madison.
A strict quarantine has been placed
upon the University barns and stables
and all work in live stock Judging
will be discontinued for a time
following the Christmas recess when
large numbers of the students go to
their homes in sections of this and
other states, in which the disease
now exists.
The same action has been taken by
officials of agricultural colleges in a
number of the other states of the
Middle West in which the disease has
appeared. The authorities of Indiana
Illinois, and Iowa have either entirely
abandoned their mid-winter courses OF
limited the work to other than the
live stock lines.

VOLUNTEER TRUSTEES MEET.
Members of Board of Fire Department
Assess Fines and Make Plans.

Members of Board of Fire Department
Assess Fines and Make Plans.
The members of the board of trus-
tees of the Kenosha volunteer fire de-
partment met in regular quarterly SEES
sion at the mayors office at the city
hall on Monday evening. The meeting
was important for the most part on ac-
count of the fact that plans were made
for the annual division of the tax on
insurance premiums among the mem
bers of the department. The fund this
year will permit the division at the
rate of between ten and fifteen dollars
to each member of the volunteer de-
partment, but the exact amount to be
paid has not as yet been divulged.
The usual number of fines were assessed
against the members who failed to at
tend the annual meeting held last
January and the amount of the fines
viii be deducted from the amount to
be divided. The annual meeting of TIE
volunteers will be held at the council
chamber at the city hall ON the even
ing of the first Tuesday in January.

CITY WILL RECEIVE $4,000
Small Increase Is Shown in Amount
Paid by State For the Education of
Each Child-County Now Has More
Than 10000 School Children.

The state of Wisconsin will contrib
ute 32,255.12 for the educational funds
of Kenosha county during the coming
years, as County Treasurer Philip Har-
man, Jr., this morning received from
State Superintendent of School G. P.
Cary this morning the annual appor-
tionment of the school fund of the
state for this county. This total
amount IS made up of 1896 for each
child of school age in the county. The
amount paid by the state toward the
education of each child is 10c higher
this year than in 1913. The law pro-
be set aside the sum of ten cents for
each child for the purchase of library
books and this amount must be expend-
ed for books for use in the school dis
tricts from which it is taken.
The amount Of the state school money
for the city of Kenosha is $4,000. In
addition to this the city schools will
later receive its proportion of the
state high school fund and also smaller
amounts for the deaf. The apportion-
ment for Kenosha county is the largest
in the history Of the county and the
same is true of the apportionment for
the city.
The fact that the state pays a per
capita of nearly three dollars for each
child of school age has emphasized the
necessity of having great care taken
with the school census in order to get
the full amount that may he due the
city and the county. This money will
be available for the support of the
schools after the annual tax levy is
collected by the state.
The report of the state suDerintend-
ent shows that Kenosha county has a
total of 10,897 school children. Of this
large number $3.50 of the children are
in the city Of Kenosha. Outside Of the
city the largest number of the children
come from the town of Pleasant Prairie
where the total is placed at 1884. The
smallest number of children in any
town in the county is reported from the
town of Brighton, which had but $50
children of school age when the census
was taken this year. Nearly all of the
towns in the county have shown an in
crease in the number of children at
tending the public schools. The high
school students and students in the
continuation schools of the city are not
listed in the number given by the state
official, the number being only those in
the graded schools.
The apportionment of the money and
the number of children in the different
towns in the county is shown by the
report of the state superintendent, as
