WHAT CONSTITUTES
WEALTH?

A Persian Philosopher-who
alibet a Philosopher was very
wise in the things of this world
when asked to what constitut-
ed wealth replied: ITO consti-
tute wealth there must be three
gifts.No. /, Money. No. 2, More
Money No. 4, Still Morey Mon
ey." There is more n this than
appears to the casual eye. First
let us say, open a bang account
at the Farmers Bank of Carson
Valley with a little Money.
Add it and you will have More
Money. Continue adding to it
and you will have Still More
Monev-and before you know it,

WASDOYHOOD ACQUAINTANCE
He Used TO Hold the Woman Now His
Wife On His Knees When He Was
a Ssalwart Young Soldier
IL Germany.

Romance and old age go hand and
hand in the life of Anton Westerhoven,
731 Anton street, according to a re-
Gently received Los Angeles paper.
This publication is authority for the
statement that NJ. Westerhoyen, well
known in Kenosha IS business circles, a
member of ST. Georges congregation
and respected citizen, has recently
Joined the Woodrow Wilson class and
has taken unto himself bride to
solace his declining years.
The difference in ages between the
two men and their chosen brides are
about the sane-twenty in each case.
Mr.. Westerhoven is seventy three and
his bride, formerly Mrs. Engelkirchen,
Los Angeles, is ffty-three.
When Mrs. Westerhoven Of the present
was little flaxen haired German girl
named Gertrude Welsing in the past
and Mr.. Westerhoven was frequent
visitor to her fathers house in little
German village, she was very fond of
the stalwart youth, who used to hold
her upon his lap. Neither could see far
enough into the future to guess that
she would be his wife half century
later.
Mr.. Westerhoven has lived humdrum
life in Kenosha attending to his bust
ness affairs and prospecting constantly
until he has achieved an enviable
| fortune.
Last May he met with his first great
| misfortune in the death of his wife.
| His grief overcame him and he left
his affairs here and went to Los Ange-
les on trip. While there he accident
ally met the friend of his youth, and
he still saw many of the traits which
had endeared her to him when she was
a child. The counting was short and
they were recently married in ST.
Joseph s church, Los Angeles.
Mr.. and Mrs. WesterhoVen will be
at home at the family residence on An
ton street after the holidays. They are
expected home Christmas week.

BOTH PLEAD GUILTY.

John Thomey, proprietor of a West
side bowling alley, and w. II. Robin
son, one of the proprietors Of the
Academy alleys appeared before Judge
Randall in the municipal court on
Tuesday afternoon to answer charges
of employing boys under age in the
alleys. Both entered pleas of guilty
and in each case the court assessed a
fine of $500 and the costs of the ac-
ton. Both defendants declared that
they regretted deeply the violation of
the law in the alleys and asserted that
it had been due to lack of care in the
employment of pin boys. Factory In
spector D. d. Evans and Taylor Frye
of Madison who represented the state
department insisted that both of the
men had been fair in the matter and
that on this account there was no
desire on the part Of the state to ask
for the collection Of any forfeiture
which might be demanded under a
strict reading of the law. Efforts will
be made to see to it that boys under
age are not employed as pin boys in
the future.

WATCH NIMBLE FINGERED ONES.
Stores Make Special Provision to Pre-
vent Big Thefts by Shop Lifters
During Holiday Rush.

Most Kenosha people are honest but
at that during the rush attending the
Christmas business several Of the big
stores in the city have put on special
people to watch shop lifters. In the
last few days several reports have
been made to the police Of minor thefts
from stores. In several of the cases
the shop filters have been detected but
the proprietors of the stores have not
asked for their arrests. Several of the
stores have announced that from now
on arrests will be made in every case
where shop filters are detected at
work. Every holiday season in Keno
sha brings considerable losses to mer-
chants on account of this class of rob-
berries. This year the shop filters are
to be called to a sharp turn and the
first one caught will be turned over
to the police and prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.

TOTAL WILDE over $500, 900
Many Assessments Must Be Placed On
Levy This Year But Clerk Insists
Books Will be Ready for Treasurer
On Day Set by Law Of the State.


City Clerk Harrington is working
overtime these days. With his force
in the office he is busy making ur the
biggest tax warrant ever turned over
to a city treasurer in Kenosha and it
is going to be turned over to the treas
urer on next Monday morning. One
thing that Clerk Harrington prldes
himself on is the fact that he has
never been day behind the day set
by law for turning over the tax levy.
This year it means something to get
the warrant ready. lisa great nuis-
ance to figure sixteen mill tax levy
for some five thousand different tax
payers and it takes about week long,
er to figure sixteen mills than it would
fifteen. Then there is q lot of other
things which must be put into the levy.
There are some twelve hundred people
in Kenosha who are expected to pay
income taxes. Every one of these peo-
pie means an added entry in the books
of the treasurer. Putting in the regu-
lar levy Of taxes is just about half the
work, for during the past few weeks
the aldermen have been passing reso-
lutions galore providing for the spread
ing on the tax roll of special assess
ments, for sewers and gas mains, for
paving, street sprinkling snow shovel
ing, cutting weeds and trimming trees
and half a dozen other things. An
entry must be made for every one of
these things. Some times the entry is
not more than five cents, but just the
same the trouble Of putting it on the
tax levy is just as great as if it was
fifty thousand dollars.
Under the law the city treasurer is
supposed to have the tax levy on the
afternoon Of the third Monday in De
cember and start the collection of the
taxes at that time. He is going to
nave it next Monday. Before the
books are turned over every page of
the tax levy must pass through the
hands of two members of the city
clerks force. Every entry must be
checked back and when it is all done
the entries must be added and they
must show a sum equal to the amount
levied by the council. It is some real
job to get the tax levy ready this year.
1t is impossible to tell just now, how
much the tax warrant is going to be,
but the total to be collected by the
city treasurer in Kenosha is going to
he q oonCidorab 1o o1yor - L.. j.. 4
thousand dollars and he is expected to
collect all of this money before the last
Monday in February. There is no rea-
son to expect that there will be any
extension of the time for the payment
of taxes this year and the people will
be expected to settle within the time
set by the state law.

WENT THROUGH THE GATES.
Patrol Wagon Refuses to be Held Back
by Market Street Gates and Paint
is Scratched Off.

The Kenosha patrol wagon refuses
to pause for little thing like gates
guarding railway crossings. At least
this is true in slippery weather. Just
before seven o'clock Tuesday evening,
the "Fpaddy wagon" skidded and went
through one set of gates at the corner
of Market and West Main streets.
Police officers Bienemann anG Amber
lang were on the wagon at the time
and they had made run to the West
side to get a sleeping drunk. On the
return trip the gates barred the way
at West Main street and although the
driver attempted to stop the wagon it
broke one of the gates. The man in
the back end slept all the way through
the little incident. There was no dan
ger of an accident as the train for
which the crossing had been guarded
was standing at the station.

COLUMBUS SAVES ss.571.s5.

The Columbus school with $50 child
rem outside of its kindergarten, has
made remarkable showing for thrift
in the past year under the direction
and with the encouragement of the
principal, Miss Marie Heating, who has
been particularly interested in teach
ing her pupils the advantages of a
bank account.
BY actual examination of the de-
posit slips of the children it is found
that they have saved in the year in
tervening between December 10, 1914,
and December 10, 1915, in the special
Christmas savings department of the
First National bank, the following;
BY one-cent deposits ........$1, 532.72
By two-cent deposits ........ 1916
BY fve-cent deposits $1,000. 130.S0
Deposits in other banks. ..... 1,727.17
The total SAVED .........$3,57185
The children have entered into the
spirit of the thing and have all the zest
in saving money that they usually
show in a football game. They com
pare their deposit slips as excitedly as
they do their records on the athletic
field.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-06-04

while the district was within our
midst it was discovered that two
thirds of the men who visited this dis
trict were married men, and also
after still more investigation it was
found that many women and children
were treated for diseases at our
County hospital every month as
result of these conditions.
Every day 1 am more inclined to
believe that if the young men of to-
day, with the married men included,
would regard the safety of every
woman and protect her honor in the
same way and for the same purpose,
namely, the sanctity of the home, as
they do their own household, the vice
problem would soon be solved.
am the mother Of a daughter and
it is a question with me how l will be
able to teach my daughter the ne
cessity of a clean, moral life and at
tempt to explain to her that it is nee
essary also to have some other
daughter sacrifice her morality so
that she, my daughter, may be pro-
tected. Sometime, somewhere, I
have read that 1t is not His Will that
any should perish" and some of us
realize at too great sacrifice what it
costs to rescue such perishing one.
It might be helpful to suggest that
if you segregate the women also
segregate the men who find this dis
trict to be a necessity. 1t would aid
in securing justice for both sexes,
and, therefore, would not meet with
opposition and would also be bene-
fit to the women who advocate clean
illness by enlightening them as to the
habits of our young men. l do not
see any progressive benefits to be de-
rived by either subduing the reform
ers or chasing them out of town.
Farm colonies are being established
everywhere to care for the unfortu-
mates and, if my opinion is worth
l would advise that we es-
