RECEIVERS FOR ROCK ISLANE
Placed In the Hands of Federal Court
I Because of Inability to Meet
Debts Of $5,00o,o0o.

Chicago, April 21.-The Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railway went
into the hands Of receiver because
it could not pay debts amounting to
a paltry $5,000000. Scores of mil
lions of dollars of securities were add
ed to the obligation against the orig
inal company through the operations
of the Reid-Mcore syndicate when it
gained control, and by the incorpora-
tion Of two new companies the
finances became SO involved that COM
plete reorganization through the ap-
pointment OF receivers was decided on
by those stockholders and creditors
who now have the controlling inter
est. Consequently the officials of the
company raised no objection when an
application was filed before Judge Car
penter In the United States district
court by the American Steel Foundries
company, which alleged that the COM
pany was unable TO pay its debts due
on or before May 4.

u. S. FIRST, WILSON
CLIMAX IN WORLDS HISTORY
NEAR, He ASSERTS.
President I'm Address TO Associates
Press Says United States Must
Play Sig Part.

New York April 21.-President Will
son in this city made perhaps his most
momentous utterance since the out
break of the war in Europe.
Speaking at the annual luncheon OF
the Associated Press in the Waldorf
Astoria, the president said that the
worlds affairs ARE drawing rapidly
to climax He indicated In Ian
guage that was plain despite its di-
plomacy that the hour has almost
struck when we shall have to assist
in "rec0nstructing the processes of
peace"
The president touched with signif-
canoe upon the disposition in some
quarters to create distempers In this
body polite" Utilizing the slogan
America first" Mr.. Wilson added:
Men are saying that IL we should
go to war upon either side there will
b@ divided American abominable
libel OF ignorance"
President Wilson pleaded with his
audience to heed the call America
first" to think Of the United States
before they thought of Europe and
not to commit any act which would
involve the United States in the con.
fiict
He declared that his neutrality was
not matter Of indifference or self
interest, but one of fearlessness and
good will
I'VE must get ready to help both
sides when the struggle is over" he
declared
1--WE must have our Judgment pre-.
pared and our spirits chastened in
anticipation of the time when we will
aid Europe in reconstructing herself,
he said. 1.-THE nations at war will
soon turn to us for cooler arrange
ment of all the elements engaged, and
that is the reason why we must now
strive to be a disinterested friend OF
all the parties In the conflict" he
added
The president asserted that his
neutrality was not petty desire to
keep out Of trouble, as many of Ills
enemies had said.
"If anybody wants scrap, I'm his
man. declared the president.

long straight rows, for this facilitates
cultivation and contributes to the APP
pearance. A garden line of some heavy
Irvine may be used for the purpose.
Many of the crops, like onions, spin
ach, radishes, carrots, beets, turnips,
parsnips, satisfy, and lettuce, may be
planted in rows about eighteen inches
apart. Other crops, like corn, toma-
toes, potatoes, okra, and lima beans,
require more room and should be plant
ed in rows about three feet apart.
(See seed catalogues). In general, the
small seeds should be planted shallow;
that is, no more than one inch in
depth. The large seeds require a depth
from two to three inches. The depth
of planting is dependent to some ex-
tent upon the character and condition
of the soil. The lighter and warmer
the soil, the deeper the seeds should be
planted. When the soil is heavy and
somewhat cold, it is safer to plant
slightly shallower.
The soil should be made firm over
the seed after planting. This is usu-
ally done by patting it with a hoe.
In transplanting plants also, the soil
should be well frmed about the roots.
Thinning and Wedding.
As a rule, seeds are sown thicker
than is necessary, and the superfuous
plants resulting must be regarded as
weeds. The superfuous plants of such
crops as beets, onions, carrots, and
spinach may be used for "greensn or
salad, or they may be transplanted.
All weeds, of course, should be prompt
ly removed. A small hand tool, called
a weeder, is useful for the purpose.
Care of the Growing Crop.
Frequent and thorough cultivation is
most essential in successful gardening.
Cultivation liberates plant food, pre-
serves moisture, and improves the
sanitary condition of the soil. An eff
fort should be made to keep loose,
dust like mulch on the surface to pre-
vent the evaporation of water. TO
maintain this mulch it will be neces-
sary to cultivate soon after each rain
or. each watering (Do not cultivate
while the soil is sticky.
A good hoe and a steel rake are the
necessary tools, the former for use
when the soil is hard or when large
weeds are present; the latter for pre-

The action of the council in decid-
Ing on the sale of the present water
plant has put the biggest and most inn
portant job that any body of men has
had to carry in the history of the city
on the shoulders Of the members Of the
present board of water commissioners.
The manner in which the new station
Us built concerns not one or two Sec
Mons of the city but is something in
which every citizen of Kenosha is Wit
ally interested. There is one most i'm
portant consideration in connection
with the new plant that will have great
influence on the future development Of
the city and to the Importance of which
the engineers and the commissioners
are fully alive, and that is the necess-
ity of building large enough to provide
for the future growth and expansion of
the city. No one could foresee the
rapid advance of the city in the last
ten years and in consequence most if
not all of the public improvements put
in when the city first began to expand
were planned on too small scale and
were rapidly outgrown. This same mis-
take should not be made with the new
station. No one is to blame for the
earlier failure to grasp the possibilities
of the expansion of the city but with
the record of the past ten years to
guide them, the engineers and commits
sioners of the water company must
plan to take care of much larger
population than the water plant serves
at present. They are building for the
future 1t is probable that the oper-
Rting expenses of such plant will be
somewhat higher than those Of plant
that would just cover the present de-
mands of the city, but in the end the
company will gain by being in posi-
lion to supply promptly every demand
made upon it.

MUST DISPLAY THE FLAG.
Schools Must Show Patriotism in
Keeping With New State Law.

A new order is being sent out to
janitors of all schools il Kenosha to-
day for beginning with tomorrow the
flag of the nation must be displayed
on all school buildings in Wisconsin
while school sessions are being held.
For years efforts have been made to
"keep the flag flying over the schools"
and these efforts were rewarded on
Tuesday when Governor Philip signed
the bin recently passed by the legisla-
ture. This law will be published to-
day providing that an American flag
must be furnished for every school
building and that the flag must be dis
played on the building whenever school
is in session. People belonging to
patriotic organizations have strongly
favored this law as they believe that
the daily display of the Stars and
Stripes will be a powerful factor in
teaching patriotism to the children of
the state. In several of the schools
of the city daily display of the flag
has been the custom for some time,
but now it will be formally ordered
under the state law and there will be
punishment meted out to the people in
charge who fail to keep the flag flying.

1t is CALLING for the Wisconsin pat
ifons of the Milwaukee Electric to pay
more for the same service than is paid
by the Illinois people, but there does
not appear to be any help for it at
present. The schedule just put in force
in this state has been approved by the
Wisconsin Railroad Commission and
there is no provision in the decision
that Wisconsin people shall not be
charged more than is charged on parts
of the line situated in Illinois. The
raise went through in Wisconsin prac-
itically without protest from any of the
cities or towns interested, but the Illi-
nois authorities are fighting vigorously
and so far successfully against any
increase.

Swat the fly and swat them nowl
The first of the pests made their APP
pearance with the first warm days and
every one killed now means that there
will be some thousands less to go after
In June and July. If the prizes for
fly slaughter that are offered later in
the year were doubled and tripled and
offered now so as to make it an object
for the boys and girls who try to win
them to go after the early arrivals, the
campaign to rid the city of the pests
would be much more effective.

!, The Apurchase of first class road OIL
Eng machinery by the road committee
of the county board will give the peo-
ple who have all along advocated the
building of oiled roads instead of con-
crete a chance to try out their theories
more extensively under more favorable
conditions and there will be long
stretches of road oiled this summer in
Ievery town in the county. There are
scores of miles of county roads that
lean be made just as serviceable by
building oiled roads as by the use of
fement and the cost is only one-ffth
bs high. On the main travelled high
ways cement is probably the only ma
ferial that will stand up under the
wear and tear Of the automobiles, but
ION the less used roads there are whole
got of people who prefer ten miles of
well built oiled road to two miles Of
cement for the same money.
