MILITARY HIGHLY DEVELOPED
U. of w. has Organization Which has
Attained High Standard in
Drill and Marlsm anshin

While the nation is talking prepared
ness, there has been developed at the
University of Wisconsin a military
corps surpassed by the military depart
ments Of no other college. Better
shooting, higher standard Of drill,
and unusually fine equipment have com
bined to put the student cadet corps
in the distinguished class among the
university military departments, ac-
cording to reports. The university
corps at Madison is che only student
body that has wireless company.
Their radio outfit consists of two sec
tions of thirty foot masts, and the sig
nal company is trained to send either
wireless or telegraphic messages. Two
new Colt automatic machine guns, the
field gun type, have been added to the
military department this year. The
cadet regiments last spring numbered
fourteen hundred men, the fourth larg-
est body of student troops in the
country. There were twenty-four com
panies, divided into six battalions, Of
ficered by one hundred students. These
units, in addition to student band of
fifty pieces were welded into two regi-
ments commanded by two colonies and
six majors, all appointed from the col
legiate body. The regiments at the
University of Wisconsin are equipped
with modern rifles of the Springfield
type, model SO, having velocity Of
5000 feet per second They are the
same model as the 100000 rifles stored
in government arsenals.

following report: sfYour special COM
mittee on municipal collection and dis
posal of garbage, to whom was referred
the matter of having the city take
charge of the garbage, respectfully re-
port that we have carefully examined
said proposition and conclude that such
system If put into operation viii re-
suit in reduced expense and better san
itary conditions. We recommend that
the finance committee incorporate in the
1916 budget 100000 as public health
and sanitation fund Signed by the
committee.
The reason for fixing the amount re-
quired at 100000 was based upon
statistics gathered from other cities
where municipal collection is in force.
No decision was made as to whether the
city shall own its wagons and horses
and hire men to do the work or let out
the collection by contract to the best
bidder.
One of the chief problems confronting
the committee was how to dispose of
the garbage when collected. Many agree
that the city should own reduction
or incinerating plant, but to secure one
at this time would require an approp-
ration greater than the present city
finances viii stand. Members of the
committee with health officer McShane
took up the matter with the Koos Re-
duction Co., of this city, but the figures
submitted appeared too high to permit
of favorable consideration. Under pri-
vate collection, the questions of dump
ing grounds has been a troublesome one
for both the collectors and city officials.
When it became known that the city
was likely to assume complete charge
of the matter, thus guaranteeing proper
care in the disposal of garbage, numer-
Gus offers of dumping grounds have
come to the committee. While no de-
finite action has been taken, indications
point to the acceptance of suitable
dumping grounds until such time as
the city can build and operate its own
incinerator
The City club and other local organ
izations have not only endorsed the
proposition, but are using their efforts
to place the matter in its proper light
before all residents of the city. It is
practically assured that the finance
committee will report favorably upon
the appropriation, and if passed by the
council, municipal collection, will be
effective early the coming year.
Respectfully yours,
Conrad Shearer.

WHO rs THE Joke ONT
Certainly Not On Mr.. Parker, Who Has
Been Entirely Decorous It
Be That it is On the Smart
Young Joker?

Somebody played an excrutiatingly
funny joke ON che News Saturday.
Really, my dear, it was too clever,
don't y know?
Simply side splitting wonderful
brain to have conceived it = just the
funniest thing ever! So smart and
brave and so safe because it was done
anonymously just the sort of thing
that not long ago man in Milwaukee
got into serious trouble doing and set
tied big amount to get out of.
Doubtless the young mans firm is
just too pleased over his smartness in
getting up such clever ruse. It may
be when they learn about it they will
give him raise in salary. It's such
a JOY to have real smart people around,
don't you agree with me that it isg
Perhaps they don't know yet, they have
him in their office. How pleased they
will be when they do.
/ can hardly tell you about it, it is
SO funny, y know. I'm just splitting
my sides about it. Oh! it is SO funnyl
1 am sure he must be a gentleman
because some writer years ago who had
insight into things human said you
could tell a gentleman by the things at
which he laughed, and this is such a
delicate, genial, kindly bit of humour,
just the kind some courteous, gentle
manly young man would indulge in.
You know, my dear, he called up the
News office and said he was Clarence
Parker, and he WASH t. Now ism t that
just too side splitting9 And then he
said he was announcing his own en-
gagement to some young woman out-of-
town and gave the name of hep parents.
Ism It it just too clever? Think of his
being smart enough to know how to
word an engagement announcement.
He must be DREADFULLY intelligent!
Probably he reads the society columns
in the Chicago papers.
And that isn't the funniest thing
about it. He actually was able to Get
the office boy to tell anyone who called
up and asked for Mr. Parker that he
was Mr.. Parker, so when he was asked
if he had announced the engagement,
he said he had and the News printed
it.
And now the funniest part of all is.
on dit, that he is very much in love
with a young woman that Mr.. Parker
is devoted to and that the young
woman wouldn't look at the joker at
all before, so he thought this would be
a neat way of breaking up Mr.. Parker IS
little affair, hoping he might be looked
upon with greater favor afterward.
1t so clever to be able to lie anonv-
mously and over the telephone. Tt
strange, my dear, that Puck, Life or the
Judge hadn't grabbed up this prom
Using funny man" long ago.

over the management of the institution
about the first of January and it is
the plan of the special committee of the
county board in charge of the erection
of the buildings to have the building
fully equipped before it is turned over
to the trustees. The new board must
elect a superintendent to have charge
OF the institution and under the law
other employees of the institution may
be employed by the superintendent
subject to the confirmation of the board
OF trustees. The newly elected trus-
tees Will go to Milwaukee on Friday
afternoon to attend the sessions of the
Wisconsin Anti-Tpberculosis association
of Wisconsin. 1t is expected that this
session will be attended by the trus-
tees of practically all of the county
sanatoriums in the state and the Keno
sha men are hopeful that they will get
many useful suggestions at this meeting.
1t IS planned to open Willow Brook
for the use of the public about the first
of January and the contractors in
charge have given assurance that the
buildings will be ready at this time.
The special committees of the county
board have so admirably taken care of
the work turned over to them that there
will be little preliminary work for the
board Of trustees to take care Of No
choice of superintendent will be made
until after the hospital is ready for use
and at that time a sanatorium physi-
clan will be elected 1t is pretty GER
tain that one of the physicians from the
city will be invited to give a part of
his time to the work of the institution.
County Agent Jones has had charge
of the equipment of Willow Brook and
while the furnishings for the institu-
tion will not be elaborate in any way
it has been the plan of the county
agent to furnish everything necessary
for the successful handling of the work
of the institution.
No plans have been made for any
formal ceremonies in connection with
the opening of the sanatorium, but
these will be arranged later and men
who have been prominent in the hui
name work of fighting tuberculosis in
the state will be invited to come to
Kenosha and have part in the cere-
monies of dedication

Alderman C. Shearer Gives
Out Facts in Regard to
What Is Being Done To-
ward Municipal Plant.
CONFERs WITH HEALTH BOARD

About the 1ivest question before the
people of Kenosha today is the ques-
ton of the municipal collection of gar
bage. 1t is interesting both the men
and women of the city. In order that
the people may be fully advised as to
what steps have been taken to secure
municipal collection and disposal of
the garbage, Alderman Conrad Shearer,
chairman of the special committee of
the council, has given out a report of
what has been done along these lines
in an open letter to the public. The
letter follows:
Mr.. Editor:
In response to numerous requests, |
present for the information of taxpay-
ers, the history of the municipal gar
bage question to date.
Quoting from the official proceedings
of the common council Of May 18th,
1915: "The mayor addressed the
council relative to the municipal collec-
ton of garbage and presented data
from other cities which are taking care
of their garbage collection and would
like to appoint special committee to
look into and investigate the matter
and report. Said special committee ap-
pointed are as follows: Aldermen
Shearer, Goodman, Anderson, Burt,
Smith, Joachim and Rauen.''
This committee, aided by DR.. J. J..
McShane, city health officer, collected
considerable information on the subject
from other cities. Then a joint meet
ing of the board Of health and COM
mittee was called. After a thorough
discussion of the proposition, it was
unanimously agreed that the adoption
of such a system would not only secure
for the city improved sanitary condi-
tions, but that it could be done at re-
duced expense over what it is costing
under private collection. Acting upon
this, the committee at the council meet
ing of August 2, 1915, presented the

WILLIAM +. FISHER TO LEAD
Thomas Fleming of Salem and w. T.
Marlatt of Kenosha Named as Other
Members Of Board to Have Charge
Of Operation of Sanatorium.
----...-.-.....-..-...-.----

The county board on Monday after
noon cleared the decks for action in
connection with the opening of the
new Willow Brook Sanatorium by elect
ing the first board of trustees of the
new institution. The trustees as Sc
lected by the board are William F.
Fisher, Thomas Fleming and w. T..
Marlatt. All Of the men have been
actively connected with the fight
against tuberculosis in Kenosha county
and the state. Mr.. Fisher was former
ly one of the best known merchants of
the city and he is now secretary Of the
Independent Ice company. He has
shown great interest in the humane
movement in the state and at the last
campaign he was in charge of the sale
OF Christmas zeals in Kenosha. Mr..
Fisher was named for the three year
term and it is expected that he will be
chairman of the board Of trustees.
Thomas Fleming, who is to represent
the towns of the county on the board
has been active in the movement for
the building Of the sanatorium and has
made considerable of a study of the
methods in use in similar institutions
In the state. The third member Of the
board is editor of the Evening News
and he was one of the first members of
the committee in Kenosha in charge of
the war on tuberculosis.
Under the law this board Of trustees
will take the burden Of the manage
ment of the new institution. The
board of trustees will probably take
