Merchants Who Deal in To-
bacco Among First to Dig
For the $3.50 War Tax.
TO Be PAID DECEMBER FIRST

Two hundred merchants, large and
small in Kenosha are digging about in
their pockets to get $3.50 with which
to pay the new tobacco war tax which
went into effect on Sunday last and
which must be paid to the deputy col
lector of customs on or before the first
day of December. This is an annual
tax and willie it was due Sunday the
dealers are to be given a full month in
which to get the money together This
tax is assessed against everyone deal
ing in tobacco and it matters not how
large or small the stock may be the
tax to be paid is just the same. 1t
takes into consideration the sale of to-
bacco in club rooms, billiard rooms, gro
ceries and fruit stores and in the cigar
stores and every one of these dealers
will be called upon to pay. There are
some dealers in Kenosha who will
smoke their small stocks rather than
pay the war tax.
Manufacturers will be taxed accord
ing to the number of cigars that are
made. The dealers will receive tax GER
tifcates as soon as they are forwarded
by the department. at Washington.
The certificates are now being manu-
featured and will be forwarded to the
different internal revenue offices
throughout the country as fast as they
ere turned out. The dealers will have
Until Dec. LIST to obtain these certif-
Gates.
According to Chief Deputy Collector
Julius Lasche, a thorough canvass Of
this district will be made by the depu-
ty collectors to find out the number of
dealers in tobacco and cigars. It is
expected that this work will take sew
eral weeks at least. Mr.. Lasche said
that all dealers will be notified as soon
as the certificates arrive from Wash
ington.
That a large amount of money will
be turned into the Golfers of the gov
eminent from this tax was declared by
the revenue officials.

EXPECT STATES LARGEST MEET
Schools of City to be Closed Thursday
and Friday in Order TO Permit ALI
the Teachers to Attend Various SEES
sions Of ths State Association.

Headed by Mrs. Mary D. Bradford,
superintendent of the schools, hun
dred and thirty Kenosha school teach
srs will go to Milwaukee on Thursday
morning to attend the annual sessions
of the Wisconsin State Teachers asso-
citation. The vanguard of the Kenosha
teachers went to Milwaukee this after
noon and opened the headquarters for
Kenosha at the Hotel Wisconsin. All
of the teachers are expected to be on
hand for the opening sessions Of the
big state meeting at the Milwaukee
Auditorium on Thursday morning, and
they are expected to stay until all of
the sessions are over.
"There will be just one Kenosha
teacher missing from the delegation, !"
said Mrs. Bradford today. "She is de-
tanned on account Of illness. [ feel
certain that no city in the state will
be better represented at this great
state meeting than our own and / am
certain that the meeting is going to be
most helpful for the teachers. School
sessions in all of the schools are to be
omitted on Thursday and Friday and it
is understood that all of the teachers
are to attend the state meeting. The
program for the sessions this year has
been arranged especially with view
Of making them interesting but also
of professional value to the teachers.
A lot Of prominent educators not only
from Wisconsin but also from all over
the country will have places on the
program and there are going to be a
lot of sectional meetings in which mat
tiers of personal interest to the teach
ers of various departments will be
taken up. / feel certain that this an
nual gathering of the teachers will be
the best ever held in the state"
Several of the Kenosha teachers are
to take part in the discussions arranged
for the two days meeting and Mrs.
Bradford who was formerly president
of the state association, will be one
of the speakers before the general SEES
sions of the convention. Kenosha city
is not alone sending big delegation to
the convention but almost as large a
delegation will be sent from the rural
schools of Kenosha county. County
Supt. John J. Kerwin of Silver Lake
will be a speaker before the superin-
tendents and nearly every district
school teacher in the county has plan
ned to attend some sessions of the con-
vention.
No city or county teachers are be-
ing considered for officers Of the as
ISOLATION this year and for this reason
the campaign for the leadership of the
association has not attracted any great
amount of interest in Kenosha. While
the meeting is arranged especially for
the teachers Of the public schools the
teachers of many of the paroehial
schools in Kenosha have arranged to
attend some of the sessions.
While much of the time will be
given over to work along professional
lines the local teachers expect to find
some time for amusement during the
two days. stay in Milwaukee.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY TO
MEET.

Among the many things of interest
in an educational way from the stand
point of agriculture to occur on Nov.
II in this city, will be a meeting of the
Kenosha County Order of the State Elk
pertinent Association. This society was
organized at Wilmot last June when
Prof. R. A. Moore spoke at the high
school commencement at that place.
D. j. Vincent was elected president
and County Superintendent j. j. Ker-
win is the present secretary, the or
ganization starting off with twelve or
fifteen members. This society has for
its purpose the Introduction into the
county of pure bred seed and of better
methods of selecting and improving
the cereal crops of the farm. To some
its purpose and work may be better
understood by saying, it does for the
grain crops of the county what cat
tie breeders association does to inn
prove stock of given breed. 1t is
understood the members of such So
ciety will use pure bred seed so far as
possible and will do all in their power
to keep it pure. A corresponding bene-
fit is to be derived from the sale of
such pure seed which commands a
much higher market price than the
seed of scrub type. These move
ments and methods result in increased
production per acre and in the end be-
come of vast benefit, not only to the
individual members, but to the county
as a whole and every one interested

Inasmuch as they accepted their ap-
Epointments when it was understood
that the voting machines were to be
used in the elections and the work of
counting the ballots and making up
the returns will take a good many
more hours of their time with the Aus
tralian ballots in use there is some
basis for the claims of the election
clerks and inspectors for extra pay
for their services at this election, but
lit is a question whether or not the ac-
Ition of the council in giving them addi-
ition compensation in the way it did
would stand the test of the courts if
any one cared to challenge it. There
lis no great amount of money involved
anyway and the matter will probably
be allowed to stand as it was settled

The city of Paris has large and
varied plantations just outside the
Notifications, where flowers, exotic
shrubs and trees are raised. One hun
'dred and thirteen hcthouses for
plants, exotic shrubs and flowers are
heated from one central heating plant,
distributing hot water through nine
and one-half mile system of pipes.
The object of this central heating or
ganization is not. as the head garden
Ter explains, with view to economy.
In fact, such system is far more
costly than separate installations for
each group of hothouses, but Is thus
arranged to avoid the existence of a
series Of unsightly chimneys which
would destroy the artistic effect OF
the grounds, which are more or less

LILLIAN DooNE
Scotch Maid Of Mystery, Will Answer
Your Questions at the yirginian
Theatre Thursday, Friday, Sat
turday and Sunday.

A persistent, insistent interrogation
point will confront folk who come to
this theatre during the engagement of
Lillian Doone, Scotch woman who has
been called 1.-THE Maid of Mystery
because of her phenomenal telepathie
powers. Mental suggestion has been
this fair lassie Is occupation since child
hood and she has iourneyed to far
eastern climes and, in the foot
hills of the Himalayas, has com
muned with disciples of Blavatsky and
the Hindoo seers, the Yogi and the
Mahatmas. With a preseience that is
astounding she rends the veil of the
future and, with sort of sixth sence,
penetrates the mysteries of the past
and the present. Any question that
troubles you Miss Doone will endeavor
to solve. 1t is said that she is sue
cessful in answering correctly more
than ninety per cent of the questions
that are put to her by her audience and
that although she makes no claim to
supernatural gifts, she is so adept in
the now quite generally accepted prac-
tice of telepathy that her votaries of
ten ascribe to her prophetic gifts other
than those which come through the
normal channels of thought transfer
ence. For her own part, this Scotch
seeress stoutly maintains that her per-
Torrance is based solely upon scientific
lines, and that if she is able to read
your mind, it is only because she has
learned the subtle telegraphy of mental
communication. At every performance
she will endeavor to locate lost articles,
missing people and to read the things
uppermost in the minds OF those who
come to seek her help in the unraveling
of riddles or to tell the thoughts Of that
multitude that comes only for the
amusement phase of her work. adv

the motto "Charity Begins at Home"
this year. From the calls already

Sother organization that does any relief
work it is evident that the coming
Ewinter is going to be hard one for
the poor of the city and that every
dollar that can be raised for charitable

kshould be to take care of our own poor.
