LEARN TO DARN STOCKINGS.
Younger School Children Getting In
struction Along Practical Lines.


The girls in the fifth, sixth and
seventh grades have been busy during
the past month in learning the proper
way Of darning a stocking. They
have been darning stockings at home
and at school. On Friday, June 9Th
a stocking darning contest was he'll
in the different schools. Prizes were
offered for the best samples Of darn
ing in each of the above grades. The
first prizes were three pair of en-
broidery scissors. The second prizes
were the red ribbons, while the third
prizes were the blue ribbons. The
judges of this contest were Mrs. Peter
Fisher, ST., Mrs. Clark Judd, Miss
Emily Bond. The piece of stocking
was placed upon a small cardboard and

perfect wearing of the darn; the
smoothness Of the darn as the wearing
cotton came to the edge; the begin
ming and ending of the darn. The
samples of darning together with other
work in sewing will be on exhibit at
Barden's store during next week. The
public is invited to see what the girls
are doing in elementary sewing The

Having for some years released its
own experts for investigation Of de-
partments of government in Wisconsin
and beyond, the University of Wis
consin is now undergoing investigation
by experts as to its own efficiency Of
operation. Harvard has something of
the kind under way now, but it is con-
fined to one department. of the univer
sity, and the investigating body is an
associated department Of the same in
stitution. In Wisconsin, the experts
are brought from without the state and
are not from an academic organization.
The theory of this test Of the univer-
sity few of its officials and professors
care to dispute. 1t is quite impossi-

the lens of scrutiny and appraised as

of democracy's will. Consequently it
is not surprising to learn that as a
whole, the academic circle is cordial
an its welcome to the investigators
from abroad. But theory is one thing
and the application of it quite an
other; hence when it comes to furnish

VOTERS SHOW LITTLE INTEREST
Politics Is Not Nearly as Interesting as
Spring Planting and Candidates Have
Hard Time Finding Any One Even
Willing to Circulate Papers. !"

Its the open season for candidates.
just about the time in the spring that
the state game laws permit you to
catch bass in the inland lakes the state
election laws permit candidates to be-
gin angling for votes. The time for
the circulation of petitions for the
nomination of candidates who will have
part in the primary in September be
gan on last Thursday and already Ke-
nosha county is flooded with petitions.
Every man in the state who is seek
ing an office seems to have some friend
in Kenosha county circulating his pc
titions. There are petitions for Mer-
lin Hull for governor; for Tom Nor
ris and Governor McGovern for United
States senator; for Henry johnson for
state treasurer, and a lot Of petitions
for smaller fry who are. seeking minor
district Offices.
The candidates for state Offices are
evidently Of the opinion that it is the
early bird that gets the worm and for
this reason they are seeI to sign
up as many people as possible The
petitions Of candidates for state of
fees seem to be going a begging in
Kenosha county and local voters do
not seem to care fig for these petit
tions. It will probably be pretty diff
fcult for any candidate to get any
thing like a representative showing of
signatures in this county. Thus far
the petitions in circulation are all for
republican candidates, but it is expect
ed that petitions for the nomination
of Judge John G. Karel for governor
will be moving among the democracy
within the next few days and that the
friends Of Joseph E. Davies will get
out petitions for him for governor.
There are a lot of the old guard of the
democracy in this county who are not
favorable to Karel and their names
will go on the Davies petition if they
get a chance to sign it. The same
crowd of democrats were strong. for
Schmitz in the last state wide primary.
Some of the candidates for county
offices are beginning to champ on the
bit on account Of the fact that blank
petitions are not ready for them, but
the county clerks are getting out the
petitions just as rapidly as possible
and all of these candidates will be able
to get into action by the last Of this
week or the first Of next. Just at
present the voters in the rural district
are too busy getting in the crops to
have any time to discuss politics and
it is probable that most of them will
be ready to leave the signing of petit
tions and the discussion of the merits
Of the candidates until dog days come
around. There will be an abundance
of time for every one to get into the
running and there will be an abund-
ance Of petitions.
In past years no petitions were put
into circulation in this county until
after the first of July, but the candi-
dates seem to be in hurry this year
1t is expected from the present outlook
that there will be about three candi-
dates for every Office in the gift Of
the voters.

$4,000 WOMEN At
BIENNIAL SESSION
Convention of Women's Clubs
Opens at Chicago.
70 CONSIDER HER SPHERE
Majority Of Delegates Hold to the
Belief That They Are on Equal
Terms With Men-Meet to
Last Seven Days.

Chicago, June l0,-About fifteen
thousand women, fourth of whom
are delegates, are in Chicago for the
twelfth biennial convention of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs,
which opened this morning with a
meeting of the council. Mrs. Percy
V. Pennybacker, the president, was in
the chair and matters concerning the
conduct of the convention were dis
cussed. The convention proper opens
tonight at the Auditorium theater.
Mrs. Fanny Bloomfield Zeisler will
give a piano recital and Miss Jane
Adams will deliver an address.
Chicago has made extensive prepa-
ration for hospitality. Committees on
an enormous scale have been at work
and the Auditorium theater, the Art
institute and many other halls have
been decorated especially for the con
vention.
VIII Consider Woman's Sphere.
All women's spheres of work and
play will receive consideration-and
most of the delegates hold to the
belief that women's spheres are iden-
teal with mems. Even such subjects
as conservatir of national resources,
and the art progress of the United
States will be dealt with in liberal
fashion
After the seven working days of the
convention, in which reports of Of
f1cers will be made and department
work discussed, the delegates and Wis
iting club members will be taken on
a sociological pilgrimage. Automo-
biles will convey parties over the
boulevards and through the parks OF
Chicago, with visits to the Chicago
university, Hull House, Gad's Hill, the
Federation house and the leading pub
lie play grounds, where the children
will give exhibitions of their work,
or some phase of entertainment for
the visitors. There will also be ex-
cursions to the leading stores and
shops of the city, to view arts, crafts
and textiles.

PAS MILITANTS CASH
CONTRIBUTIONS OF KINGS RELA
TIVES ARE 6LAcKMAIL.
Prince of Wales Probably a Friendly
Supporter of SuffrasistS
War Fund.

London, June 10.-The latest of the
tiers has resulted in the discovery that
several members of the royal family.
including even the prince of Wales,
have been regular contributors to the
militant fund. There is evidence to
show that an. offer was made in be-
half of Queen Mary, but the offer
was refused.
The contributions, 1t must be stated
at once, do not by any leans indicote
that royalty favors the militants; on
the contrary, the situation really
amounts to the payment of black
mail for immunity from militant at
tacks.
When the raids were made and lists
of subscribers were found the gov
eminent rather hastily announced that
it would begin Immediately series
of prosecutions on a charge of sup
porting a criminal organization, but
the examination of the lists has dis
closed the fact that among the sub
scribers are several royal persons. in
Guiding the duchess of Teck. sister
in-law of the queen, Princess Arthur
of Connaught Qisted in the Womens
Social Political union records as the
duchess of Fife, indicating that the
contribution was made before her
MARRIAGE: Princess Alexander of
Teck, the last two mentioned being
the kings nieces; the princess royal.
sister of the king, and Princess. Chris
tian, daughter of Queen Victoria.
Further investigation showed that
all these were immunity payments,
while as for the prince of Wales. he
has so frequently argued with his
father and mother in favor of wom-
an suffrage that it is uncertain in
what category to put his contribution.
When the royal names were found
in the list the government had to give
up the idea of prosecuting subscrib-
ers and is now considering prosecut-
ing the militants on charges of black
mail, but the royal and noble sub
scrfbers will naturally be unwilling
to be complainant witnesses and with
out them there is nothing to show
that menaces have been proffered.
Of course, many of the subscribers
are strong supporters of militancy,
but they also are safe, as the govern
ment can't prosecute them and not
prosecute the others.

Those officials and individuals who
were responsible for a sane Fourth of
July observance in Kenosha the past
three years evidently take it for grant
ed that the custom of sane observ-
ance is pretty we'll established in this
city by this time for none of the agi-
tation in favor Of sane and safe cele-
bration of the day which has been so
marked in other years has taken place
this year. Possibly none is needed for
the record made the last two years
when the city came through the cele-
bration without any serious casualties
should be sufficient to insure a con-
tinuance of the safe and sane policy
for Kenosha for all time. The strict
enforcement of the laws of the state
and the ordinances Of the city against
the sale or use of dangerous explosives
in Kenosha In 1912 and 1913 does not
give the dealers in fireworks the slight
est excuse for having any Of the pro-
hibited goods on hand this year and
they have no right to expect any
lenieney from the police if any Of the
prohibited articles are exposed for sale
on the ground that the goods were pur-
chased before they were aware of the
provisions Of the law. It is probable
that the CHIEF of police viii issue the
usual warning against the sale or use
of the prohibited articles in order to
make sure that the conditions under
which the celebration is to be held are
well understood by the public.

Kenosha does not have as many con-
iventions and state meetings Of various
kinds as other cities of the state, but
it could very easily secure its share
of these gatherings if the local lodges
and fraternal organizations went af-
ter them. This is one form Of adver-
Using that Kenosha never went in for
to any extent, but it is certain that
the business men Of other cities regard
the expense of entertaining delegates
from many cities as money well spent.
