MANY STATES ADOPT PLANS
Man Who First Suggested Humane Care
of Mothers With Little Children Is
Urging Further Use of Bills Passed ~
the Wisconsin Legislature.

Judge Henry Neil, father Of mothers
pensions, is now campaigning through
Wisconsin.
Ten million dollars will be paid this
year to dependent mothers and their
children in twenty-five mothers pen
sion state. This will prevent the break
ing up Of families, preserve homes and
help to abolish child-poverty.
Judge Henry Neil, father of mothers
pensions, has travelled all over the
United States in the last four years, adj
vocating mothers pension. His plan
has been adopted into the laws of
twenty-five states, Wyoming, New York
and Tennessee recently joining the pro
cession.
His plan is to talk about the evils of
child-poverty and to convince the whole
country that it is bad policy and a
waste of taxpayers money to allow any
child to suffer from poverty. He is or
ganizing great Mothers Pension Con-
gress, which will take place at the San
Francisco exposition on Sept. 20, Fl and
%. At this conference plans will be
discussed for having the mothers pen
sion system administered by the pub
lie school system.

a charity any more than the public

Denver, August End.


August LIST was spent in travelling
through Iowa and surely the great
corn producing state will fall short
this season for owing to the excessive
rains and cold thousands of acres will
not produce as much corn as was plant
ed. Only a few fields were tasseled
out. The oat crop appeared to have
promised well, but many fields had
been cut several weeks and had never
been dry enough to thresh. While
much of the country is level portions
are rolling and produce fine crops Of
grain and hay. After a short stop at
Council Bluffs we crossed that ever

Omaha, a city Of great commercial in
terests and thereby appointment, met

have their home here. The afternoon
was spent in Nebraska which has shar-
ed with Iowa in excessive wet weather
and the crops promise very poor weld,
At Grand Island at eight D. m. there is
an all night ride, due in Denver at
1880. At sunrise we are in Colorado
where the wet weather evidently did
not harm them.

WOULD SAVE POTATOES.
Experts at Madison Give Panacea for
Blight In Potato Fields.

Blight in Potato Fields.
Some cases of late blight of potatoes,
in fields of the central and southern
portions of the state, have just been
reported to the plant pathology depart
ment of the college of agriculture, of
the University of Wisconsin. This dis
ease can be prevented by spraying the
vines with Bordeaux mixture. Potato
growers will do we'll to watch the spread
of the blight closely, and spray their
fields before the disease appears in
them. Especial watchfulness is neces-
sary so long as the weather continues
damp, with foggy nights, as these con-
ditions are favorable to the rapid
growth of the blight.
Potato growers will remember, -
cautioned j. G.. Milward, in charge of
Wisconsin s potato seed certifcation
work, that it was the late blight which
caused serious losses to the potato crop
in the state last year, and resulted in
low prices. The disease not only de-
SbTOyS .bu0 .Nlu0S III buC DSlOt OuG dAcO
causes tuber rot, both on the field at
harvest time and during storage.
s'The Bordeaux mixture, to be effec-
tive against this disease must be APP
piled with a pressure spray pump that
will put the liquid on under from rs
to 100 pounds pressure. Where single
nozzle spraying outfit is used, it is
usually necessary to apply the mix
ture to the vines twice, spraying them
from opposite directions. Applications
Of the Bordeaux should be made at in
tervals of about ten days. Usually
about four applications are necessary
during the season. Growers are eau
Toned that unless thorough work is
done in spraying, beneficial results can
not be expected.
Bordeaux mixture made by the fol-
lowing formula will be found salts
factory in controlling the late blight:
5 pounds of copper sulphate (blue
stone)
10 pounds Of lime
100 gallons of water"

school is charity" said Judge Neil
in discussing his plan. sfWe spend
money for free education because it
is the economical and efficient thing
to do We know we cannot afford to
have our children grow up in ignorance
But thousands of children are prevent
ed from obtaining an education because
their fathers are dead or for some rea-
son fail to provide. The pension sys-
tenn provides food, clothing, shelter and
care by the child's own mother, with
out which the free public schools can
not do their work.
"Wherever the pension system has
been tried its results satisfy all classes.
Juvenile crime and detectives are de-
creased at once, because the pensioned
mothers are enabled to remain at home
and take care Of their children. If
children have good home, with their
own mother, juvenile crime decreases.
Children raised in poverty recruit the
police stations, jails, courts, peniten-
tiaries, hospitals and asylums, because
they did not get fair start. The
spending of ten million dollars this
year for mothers pensions will save
the taxpayers hundred million dollars
in the coming years. The cost of
courts, prisons and asylums has been
increasing by leaps and bounds The
best way to rapidly decrease the ex-
pense Of corrective institutions, is the
mothers pensions system, which at
tacks child-poyerty, the cause of most
of the crime, feeble mindedness and in
sanity.
"Who is not panied to see little
children in poverty, deprived of the
things childhood needs? The pension
system will enable all children to have
a happy childhood and that is what we
are living for, as | see it.
Judge Neil is organizing committees
in states which do not have the pension
system, and also committees in pension

LONDON FEARS RUSS
ARE NEARING TRAP
Germans Working to Gut OF
Escape Of Big Army.

London, Aug. 4-There is a grow
ing fear, felt by unofficial military OBJ
servers here, that the Germans are
succeeding in their attempt to trap a
large force of Russians in the War
saw district.
The latest unofficial dispatches
from Warsaw indicate that General
Won Gallwitz with his 100000 men are
practically across the Narew-B Bug
triangle, within ten miles of the War
saw-Petrograd railway, yet a large
force of Russians is now engaged with
a German advance south and west Of
Warsaw on the Blonie line. The
forces of General Won Mackensen are
advancing up the Bug towards Brest-
Litovsk and are within fifty miles of
that city, according to all accounts,
yet in the stretch between the Bug
and the Vistula strong Russian forces
continue to oppose the Austrian adj
vance. In the half dozen or more en-
gagements or battles now going on
from Suwalki to south of Lublin, in
Guiding the Warsaw bulge the Austro-
Germans report that they captured
II, 100 prisoners, many field guns,
trench mortars and machine guns. OF
course it is not thought possible that
the bulk of the six Russian armies
Will be taken, but still it is estimated
that several hundred thousand Rus
sian troops are in jeopardy.

MISS KARNEs THREATENS SUITS.
West Main st. Property Owner Objects
to Statements About Easements.

II " VNtCA1AOAAto 1AbOub &AVcboVAaOAAe0'
City officials were busy this morning
holding conferences with Miss Karnes
one of the property owners interested
in the building of the proposed inter
cepting sewer. Miss Karnes has de-
clared that her stand in regard to the
sewer has been misrepresented and
has declared her intention Of bringing
suits against the mayor and against
the city. She asserts that she has
always been ready and willing to give
an easement for the sewer through her
property just as soon as the aldermen
secured easements from other property
owners on the river to the north Of
her. Miss Karnes insists that her de-
sire is to have the Kenosha river
cleaned out and that she sees no value
of any sewer which does not accom-
olish this result. It is probable that
some court action based on statements
alleged to have been made will be
started within the next few days. 1t
is not just clear who are to be the de-
PENDANTS in the action or just what will
be the basis of the suits.

NO NEW LIST THIS YEAR.
Young Men Who Would Get Into Pos
tai Service in Kenosha Must Wait.

Young men in Kenosha who have a
desire to get into the postal service
here will have to wait another year
at least as this morning Postmaster R.
". Baker was notified by the depart
ment that no examination for clerks
and carriers under the civil service
would be held in Kenosha this year.
For years these examinations have been
held late in the fall, but the depart
ment holds that there is no need of
such an examination IN Kenosha this
year. At the present time there are
twenty-five names on the eligible list
in the hands Of the postmaster These
names were certified to the postmaster
in April of this year and not one of
the men so certified has been placed
on the pay roll Of the local Office.
There. may be additions made to the
carrier service within short time but
at present there are four substitute
mail carriers who will have the call on
these positions before any names are
drawn from the list who took the ex-
animation in 1914 All of the men
whose names were on the list in April
will get a years lease Of life as the
order OF the department makes these
eligibles operative until April 80, 1917.
The postmaster is hopeful that it will
be found possible to add several clerks
to the service in Kenosha in the near
future, but there is an ample number
of applications TO take care of all Of
these prospective jobs.
