BORDEN co. TO MAKE BUTTER.
Big Milk Company With Factories in
This County, Enters New Line.

Borden's Condensed Milk Company
made the announcement on Wednesday
through the superintendent of their
several factories in this and other
counties, that commencing tomorrow
morning they would engage extensive
ly in the manufacture Of butter. With
this end in view the statement was
made to their patrons that all milk
produced by them would be received at
the factory. Since November 1st, the
company has taken only the amount
contracted for. The price to be paid
for December milk will be $185 a
hundred pounds for the amount con-
tracted for at the commencement Of
the winter season. All surplus milk
in excess of contracts will be paid for
at one cent a hundred above the prices
paid by butter manufacturers to their
patrons, based on the price of butter.
In determining this price the company
will take the average price of butter
for the month and the average amount
of butter fat in the milk delivered by
each farmer and will pay them accord
ingly for the surplus.

.GRAsSER IS NAMED PRESIDENT
New Rates Adopted by the Board for
the Governing of Meter Customers
Will Not Make Any Great Change in
Amounts to be Paid for Water.

Acting on the suggestion of the
Wisconsin Railroad Commission the
Board of Water Commissioners at It's
annual meeting on Tuesday evening
adopted a new scale of rates for meter
customers. The new scale is held to be
one eminently fair to all consumers.
Frank Grasser was reelected president
of the board for another year by ac-
clamation. During the evening the
commissioners spent considerable time
discussing plans for the new intake
and the plans and specifications are to
be presented to the board at the next
meeting. It is expected that bids
will be asked the latter part of Janu-
airy. The new rate schedule is best
explained in the letter sent by the
railroad commission to the members
of the water board. 1t follows:
In accordance with our letter of
November 28th we have had prepared
a water rate schedule which we be-
lieve can be substituted for your pres
ent schedule without materially affect
ing either the utility or the consumers.
The following schedule eliminates the
regressive and discriminatory features
of your present schedules:

BARRED AT NAVAL STATION.
zionites Get in Bad When They Refuse
to Submit to Vaccination.

An order now in effect at the Great
Lake Naval Training Station and
which was issued through the instance
of the medical department of the in
stitution, establishes bar against en-
piOyment of all Zionites at the train
ing school. The order which was re-
Gently put into effect included the dis
charge of a group of employees at the
station, all of whom were Zionites.
Their suspension followed their refusal
to submit to vaccination. The group
who were suspended was composed of
three men, all Of them heads Of fami-
lies in Zion City. They were given the
alternative whether they should be vac
cinated or discharged from the service.
Rather than violate the laws of their
religion, they chose the latter. The
period of suspension is stated to be
indefinite. One of the officers of the
institution declared that the move was
made in the interests of health and
safety The presence of the workmen
amongst the great commul ity of at
taches and cadets of the station was
considered as menace. All of the
discharged employees are emphatic in
their declarations that they will not
submit to vaccination.

SMALLPOX AT BEACH.
Several Cases Developed and They are
Charged to Zion Epidemic.

Renewed interest in the smallpox
situation in Zion City and the sur
rounding territory was shown this
morning when the local health board
received notification that several cases
of the disease had been discovered in
the neighborhood of Beach station. On
account of these cases the Waukegan
township school is to be closed. Twen-
ty children attending this school have
been exposed to the disease and the
school officials are not willing to take
any chances on the possible spread of
the disease. DR.. McShane, head of the
Kenosha health department, has been
keeping close watch for the appear
ance of any suspicious cases in Keno
sha, but he has found nothing to war
rant the belief that the disease has
been spread to this city from Zion or
anE of the surrounding terEitnrE

BAKER DIsARMs OFFICER.

They had stirring times up in Ra-
cine on Thursday afternoon and Chief
of Police Baker, widely known in Ke-
nosha, was the hero of the day. Baker
disarmed John Kerchill, member of
the Racine police force who, is alleged
to have sought to attack him with a
revolver. Kerchill had been locked
a days pay for conduct unbeeoming an
officer. He met Baker in a hallway
leading to the Office of Attorney John
II. Liegler and demanded that Baker
give him the days pay. He had his
hand in his overcoat and when he
made a meanacing gesture toward Baker
the chief closed with him and pushing
him up against the wall dragged his
hand from his pocket. In it he had
an automatic revolver loaded in every
chamber. Kerchill was removed from
the force at once and the matter re-
ferred 10 the ncice and fire commission

All above next 13,5000,000 at 11ac.
These rates are for a period of six
months per one thousand gallons.
In order to show more clearly the
relation between the above schedule
and your present schedule we are en-
closing two graphs. Upon Sheet No.
2 is shown the complete schedule, while
Sheet No. l SHOWS upon larger scale
the first and smaller steps. Your
present rates are represented by the
jagged black line, and the green line
represents the schedule suggested
above. Upon referring to the graphs
it will be seen that the amount of
revenue will not be seriously affected
by the adoption of the proposed sched-
ule, although the bills of some consum-
ers may be slightly different. Tt will
be noted that we have computed the
bills upon the half year basis, in that
we understand your water rents are
paid semi-annually We believe it more
convenient to state schedule in terms
of six months rather than in days.
It may be that the first three steps
of the proposed schedule should be
combined so as to charge for the first
10000 gallons per six months at the
rate of IL cents per 1000 gallons.
Owing to the fact that we are not in
possession of sufficient consumer data
to ascertain exactly the effect the prov
posed schedule would have upon your
revenues, we leave to your judgment
the question of whether or not the first
three steps should be combined at the
rate of II cents or remain as set forth
in the suggested schedule. Also, if
you have consumers who use in excess
of 100000 gallons per six months it
may be that the excess rate of III
cents per thousand gollans would bring
the consumers bills somewhat lower
than they would be under your pres
ent schedule.
We shall be pleased to receive your
comments regarding these matters.
Very truly yours,
Railroad Commission of Wisconsin,
by Lewis E. Gettle,
Secretary

GLAZED POSTAL CARDS BANNED.
Officials Will Destroy Injurious Mis-
sives Not Sent in Envelopes.

There will be many waiting for the
little Christmas greeting in the shape
of post card and there will be
hundreds who have been remembered
by their friends, but who will never
receive these cards, according to Post
master R. Y. Baker. In spite of the
activity of the postal officials, the
usual quantity of fancy Christmas
cards, bearing particles of ,tinsel are
being received at the postofice. These
cards are destroyed as fast as they ar
rive as they are classed as unavailable,
unless enclosed in a stout envelope and
securely sealed. The mailing of these
cards. while not only injurious to the
hands of the clerks who sort and de-
liver the mail, often causes damage
to other mail matter with which they
come into contact and for this reason
the postoffice officials at Washington
have issued orders to destroy them.

Work of the Lutheran church in
Kenosha is being extended and just at
present work is progressing on a new
church to be known as st. Luke $
Evangelical Lutheran church. 1t is be-
| ing erected at the corner of Balm ami
Selleck avenues where the congregation
has purchased five lots. The building
is to be combination school andi
| church with accommodations for three
hundred people, The building will be
of frame, one story in height with a
large basement and the basement will
be finished so that it may be used
either as a school room or as a place
for church services. The Rev. Edmund
G. REIN, assistant pastor of the Ger
man Lutheran church, is in charge of
the work of the new parish and he is
| expected to be the first pastor of the
new church. Fifty families, all form
erly members of the German Lutheran
church, are to furnihs the nucleus for
the building up of large Lutheran
parish on the southwest side of the
city. There has been no split in the
ranks of the older church and the Rev.
Carl Buenger, pastor of the older
church, is one of the most ardent sup
| porters of the new movement. when
we built the church on Ridge street We
felt ihst 1t would provide a home for
the Lui aerans tor IRONY yeers AZ
r&ads We are BICYCLING to De cramped
little owing to the rapid growth OF
the congregation and these families
all living in the neighborhood of the
| church, are going to form parish of
their own. We wish them every sue
cess and will give the new church
every possible aid, +" said Mr.. Buenger.
1t is expected that the new church
and school will be completed and
ready for occupancy early in the
spring. The corner stone was laid on
last Sunday afternoon and the work is
to be rushed as rapidly as possible. IT.
is said that money is in sight to cOm-i
plete the erection of the church andI
school. The growth of the Lutheran
church in Kenosha in the past ffteeul
years has been such as to attract at-l
tention among religious workers. FIT
teen years ago there were but two Luth-
eran churches In Kenosha, these beingI
limited to the German and DanishI
Lutherans. Since that time four other!
churches have been built and all of
the parishes are rated as strong amongi
the religious denominations Of the city.
1t is certain that there is large feld{
for labor in the neighborhood wherel
the new church is being erected.
The question of the language to bel
used in the church has not been del
cided and it will be decided in keeping
with the wishes of the majority of the
members, but it is probable that part
of the services will be in German and
a part in English.

FIND DEFFRY LOOT.
Silver and Furs Taken From the Deffry
Home Found in Durkee Ave. Lot.

Home Found in Durkee Ave. Lot.
Renewed activity was shown by the
members of the police department in
an effort to solve the mystery connect
ed with the robbery of the home of
Charles V. Deffry, as early this morn
ing considerable amount of the booty
taken from the Defry home was recov-
cred. The leather satchel taken from
the house was found concealed under a
pile of bushes in vacant lot on Dur
kee avenue. The lot is owned by F. H.
Carpenter and new house is being
erected on it.
In the aatchel was found valuable
fur coat and a number Of pieces of sill
verware including spoons. The bag
containing the booty was noticed by
boys early this morning and as soon as
Officer Clausen reached the place he
saw that it was a part of the loot
taken from the Deffry home One of
the savings banks taken from the house
was found in the satchel and no effort
had been made to tamper with it.
With the finding of this loot the po-
lice threw out dragnet al over the
south section Of the city and efforts are
being made to get list of the boys
who have been seen in me ne yhbor
hood of the vacant lot It is very prob
able that none of the boys in this
neighborhood know anything of the rob-
berry and it is probable that the grip
containing the discarded articles was
dropped there by the burglars when they
were making their getaway.
Chief O'Hare and his men are con-
WINGED that the burglary was the work
of some one in Kenosha who had kept
pretty close tab ON the members of the
Deffry family and who knew that the
house was unoccupied at the time the
burglary was committed.
The members of the Deffry family
were overjoyed at the finding of the
articles this morning as some of the
things were keepsakes greatly valued
by the owners on account of the asso-
Citations.

Kenosha county highway work is
now all completed for the year and the
county highway commissioner has seen
to it that all the little "odds and
ends' in connection with the work
laid out for the year have been clean
ed up. Today he was busy making his
final settlement with contractors and
when the year accounts are closed up
on the last days of the month there
will not be a single outstanding bill

GO TO LOOK UP SITES.
County Board Members Spend Stormy
Afternoon Looking Over Sites.

Drawing the wintry storm numberj
Of the members Of the county boardl
went out on a junket this afternoonl
to look over sites proposed for the
tuberculosis hospital. At the head Of
the bunch was the veteran chairman
John T. Yule, and he declared that theI
weather would not effect him in any!
way in making the trip. Chairman
Grosvenor of the special committee in
charge of recommending the site, had
more than dozen suggested sites.
Many of them are within few miles,
of the city limits and all of these sites
will be visited this afternoon. Several
of the property owners have shown al
willingness to offer property to the
city at very fair price, but few
of them have evidently decided to ask
a large price for lands. With wide
selection there will be no necessity for
the committee to over-pay any one I'M
securing the site.

Walter j. Frost, who has served as
president of the Industrial Board of
Education since its organization and
under whose direction the city of Ke-
nosha has built up one of the most
notable systems of continuation schools
to be found anywhere in the country,
is to retire from the board. He an
nounced his retirement at the meet
ing of the Board of Education on Tues
day evening when he declined to accept
a reelection as member of the board.
Mr.. Frost insisted to the board that
while he was deeply interested in the
work Of the industrial board his bust
ness interests would make it impossible
for him to give the time which he be-
lieved should be given to this work by
a member of the board. Mr.. Frost
was named as a member of the board
in the fall of 1912, when the new in
dustrial school board law went into eff
feet and his administration of the af-
fairs of the board has been eminently
successful.
The public scarcely appreciates the
debt that it owes to the members of
this board, for the men have all shown
great personal interest in the work
of the board and it is this personal
interest that has gone long way to
bring the success that these schools
have attained. Every feature Of the
work of the continuation schools has
been personal matter with Mr.. Frost
in the two years that he has been at
the head of the board and he has given
that he would give to his private bust
ness affairs. The industrial board has
been a hard working board, often hold
ing severa- meetings in week.
H. W. Mueller, the other retiring
member of the board was elected for
another term, and Lynn 7. Hannahs
was named to succeed Mr.. Frost as a
member of the board. Mr.. Hannahs is
prominent among the younger manu-
facturers Of the city and he is certain
to prove an active member of the board
as he has shown a great interest in the
promotion Of the continuation schools.
At the mex meeting of the industrial
board new president is to be elected.
The board at its meeting On Monday
evening accepted the plans and specif-
cations for the proposed outdoor
school. The plans have already been
approved by the Industrial commission
as provided by the state law, and the
committee on buildings and grounds
will at once advertise for bids for the
construction of the building. 1t is
probable that the contract for the con-
struction of the new building will be
| let at the January meeting of the
board.
| A report Of decided interest was pre-
sented to the board by the committee
on wider use of the school buildings.
This report was largely made up of a
report of the work of the social center
at the Balm school. The total attend
ance at these social gatherings during
the eleven days in the month of No
vember was shown to have been 1919.
Interesting reports were MADE of the
general school conditions in the city
| and plans we're made to have the mem
bers of the board visit the night schools
in body on Thursday evening. A lot
of routine business was taken up by
| the board and the session was pro-
longed one.
