drew Mikkelsen, former proprietor of
the Garfield House on West Main
street. Mr.. Mikkelsen died on Thurs
day evening at Pontiac, Mich, where
he had gone little over two weeks

The taxpayers of the city, and es
pecially those who have been forced
to come across on their personal taxes
since the present order to the city
treasurer was promulgated by the com
mon council, will heartily approve Of
the determination Of the finance com
mittee of the council to get every cent
of the delinquent personal taxes that
is collectible. It has always been a
wonder to good many people who
paid up promptly how some people
managed TO refuse to pay personal
taxes and got away with it year after
year and they also will be glad to see
the delinquents brought up with a
round turn. After the treasurer re-
ports that he has done his best and
that he is unable to collect any more
of the outstanding taxes the question
of whether or not the lists of delin-
quents shall be published will be up to
the council There is of course no
reason why the lists of delinquent per-
sonal taxes should not be published
Just the same as the lists of delinquent
real estate taxes are published except
the matter of the expense involved.
There is no provision made in the law
for adding the expense Of publication
to the costs of collection, but the city
may decide to try the experiment..

There is little excuse for any able
bodied man being out Of work in Ke-
nosha, and any yarns about anybody
being unable to secure a job will be
taken with grain Of salt by those
who are familiar with the situation in
the labor market. All of the factories
may not have their maximum number
Of men on the pay rolls, but all of
them are working the average number
for this season of the year and there
are calls for outside help that cannot
be filed. The farmers are begging for
help at high wages and the contractors
on road work for the county have not
been able to get men enough to war
rant their going ahead Applicants
for aid from the city viii have to
show physical disability before they
can get their names on the lists of
those entitled to help.

WARNING FOR BATHERs.
Bathers Cautioned Against Drinking
Water Which Nav BE Polluted

BatneTs Cautioned Against Drinking
Water Which May Be Polluted.
The following warning that is be
ing sent out by the state board of
Illinois should be read with interest:
Bathing in sewage polluted waters
is dangerous. Cases have been report
ed where typhoid fever has been con
traeted by bathing in streams below
cities and villages. Probably this oc-
Cured through accidentally or care
lessly taking the infected water into
the mouth. No person should battle in
an ordinary stream just below any
city, village or other source of sewage
drainage, or in any harbor or lake near
the entrance into it of a sewer.
Many times it has been stated that
people who battle in Lake Michigan
here are doing so at their own risk as
it is said that meteorological tests of
the water have shown it to be very
impure.
1t is urged that all Of the hundreds
of people who go in bathing here this
summer exercise all possible care about
swallowing water as the results may
prove dangerous. 1t is almost impossi-
bic to swim or dive without swallow
ing some water so it is seen it would
be rather difficult to follow the ad-
vice to the letter.
That there is much in the advice
given is shown by tests of the lake
water as made by the city health de-
partment. At times the lake water
teens with typhoid germs and only the
action of the hypochlorite of lime pre-
vents them from entering the mains.

THE AVERAGE MAN

There's man in our midst whom
none seem to know,
Though legion In number he be;
On sea or on land he is always a,
hand,
And his doings are wondrous to see
The MUSES. ne'er sing of his tolls nor
his woes;
His triumphs they fail to record;
Though little, If aught is achieved
where he's not,
or creation he truly is lord.
He tunnels the mountains, he plows
the broad seas,
The forests blow down at his stroke !;
Wealth springs from the plain by his
Drawn and his brain;
Even tyranny lightens her yoke.
We worship our heroes; we console
those who fall;
The pauper by charity lives;
But tell me, who can, where the av.
erage man
Gets return for the service he gives.
Well may We thank the Lord for the
average man;
At his post to the last he will stand,
BE the day dull or bright, be the
task hard or light.
You can tie to the average man.

Corn Is the universal American
product. 1t is produced in more
counties than any other one staple
Many people think OF 1t as a lazy
mans crop. They point to the indo.
lent Indians, who grew and thrived
on 1t for centuries before the pale
fields. Yet the fact that the bulk
of the crop is raised on moderate
sized farms is significant. The shift
ing and more or less ignorant gang
of farm help on which the big wheat
farm or cotton plantation must de-
pend, do not usually get the best
results on corn. 1t is a crop that
requires close and thoughtful at
tention.
Corn is a great democratic food
product and back yard staple for the
poor man. Countless families lived
through the earlier days, when white
-four was a luxury, on johnny cake,
hoe cake, hasty pudding, and other
cookery from corn -four.
There is an old rustic yarn about
father and mother who were called
away by illness Of a relative, leaving
n family of children at home. They
had left little food and less money
in the house, but had field Of corn
When the old people came back.
there was no money in the house,

In Its fair gardens Of delight
The roses Of life time bloom;
And whether they be red or white,

And one was on her bosom Worn,
And has partaken OF its bliss;
One is that long sought Ideal rose,

The breath OF June mid mountain

Such wealth OF blessedness enclose,
What Palace could my soul content
That did not hold my ideal rose?
