Union High School For Five
Towns May be Erected at
Union Grove This Year.
ELECTORS TO DECIDE ONBONDS

Plans are being considered for the
building of Union Township High
School for the children of three towns
in Racine county and two in Kenosha
county and special election among
the voters of the five towns has been
called for June 9th at which time the
ELECTORS will decide on the question of
issuing bonds in the sum of $4,000
to provide for the erection of the
school and the raising Of $1,000 annu-
ally by taxation to provide for operat-
ing expenses. It is proposed to locate
the Union High School at the village
of Union Grove and the towns to con-
tribute to its maintenance are Paris and
Brighton in Kenosha county and Union
Grove, Yorkville and Dover in Racine
county. IT will be the first Union
County High School to be built in this
section Of the state and it is declared
that large majority of the people in
the towns mentioned are favorable to
the erection of the school. At the
present time children in Paris and
Brighton have no school available for
high school work and they must either
give up school work after finishing the
eighth grade or go to the schools in
Kenosha or Racine. County Superin-
tendent Zimmerman Of Racine county
has declared himself favorable to the
erection of the proposed school and
it is thought that it will have the sane
ton of the Kenosha county board of
education and Of John J. Kerwin, the
Kenosha county superintendent. Ke-
nosha county has one high school out
side of the city and it is located at the
village of Wilmot. 1t is declared that
it would be almost impossible for the
children from Brighton and Paris to
go to the Wilmot school.

July Fourth.

Joe Conley of Kenosha, member
of the fighting family, has been given
full charge of his brother FRANKIE !"
and states that he will make frankie
a champion inside of a year, provided
his brother stays with him. Joe claims
that he is about the hardest worked
manager in the business not excepting
Tom Jones. At the time he took
charge of Frankie's affairs he did
nothing fora time but dictate letters
to promoters all over the country, tell
ing them just what he expected to do
with frankie and at the present time
he has offers from no less than five
clubs, namely, Columbus, O., Philadel-
phia, Memphis, Butte, Mont, and To
ledo o. After securing and closing
with several promoters, Joe says he

ever, consistent training has put
frankie in the best of condition and

surprise to his many admirers in his
coming bout with Johnny Shultz at

Legal Postof1ice Gets Formal
Instructions in Regard to
Poorly Addressed Letters
TO G0T0 DEAD LETTER OFFICE

"The great increase of indefinite adj
dressing has become source of serious
embarrassment to the postal depart
ment and affects the efficiency of
the service. =
So reads a portion of an order re-
lceived by the local postal authorities
and it marks a policy that is becoming
more drastic daily in the government
postal service. Accompanying the fore
going comment are instructions to post
masters that all return addresses they
print must contain specific information
as to street and number and if it is
an Office building the number Of the
room occupied.
This order is another indication that
the days of freak addressing are gone.
No longer can a person address a letter
to man name Smith who is cross
eyed and lives on the north side, and
rest assured that individual will re-
|ceive the letter.
The postal department. no longer
runs a guessing bureau" said Assist
ant Postmaster Zens. "Many people
have the idea that a postal clerk is de-
Lighted when he finds an address that
would take an insanity expert a week
to puzzle out. Many patrons of the
department think the clerk carries that
letter around for a week until he final
~ solves it and then returns to his
work happy in his achievement. In
reality the clerk after one glance at a
freak address throws it aside and it
finds its way into the dead letter office.
"A postoffce is run on the same
principles as commercial house and
anything that disturbs its mechanism
wastes valuable time. The public
should not turn in a piece of mail that
makes the slightest demand for special
attention on the clerks and carriers.
The day will come when the postal de-
partment will not even refer to a
directory.
GA number of business houses take
advantage of the department. this way.
fostonce employees are ordinary in
dividuals and not wizards. Because a
man is in business in Kenosha it does
not follow that the postofice here
knows his actual address. Many clerks
in business houses rather than look up
a mans address in the directory mere
" write his name and expect the de-
partment to do the hunting through
the directory. The department is
slowly but surely cutting down on
this practice. y
In compliance with an order from
Washington the local department has
notified all milliners and clothing deal
ers that hereafter hats sent by par
eel post must be in Grated boxes or
protected by double faced corrugated
board. Umbrellas, canes and golf
sticks must also be reinforced when
mailed.
