EXHIBIT OLD MAPS.
First Surveys of Wisconsin Cities
Shown in Historical Museum.

SHOWN In Historical Museum.
The plans of early surveyors who
staked out the cities of the future In
Wisconsin are shown in display plac-
in IN the Wisconsin Historical museum
at Madison.
The first map of Madison as plotted
by Franklin Hathaway in 1887, long
before the city actually existed, is in
the exhibit. Great difficulty was exper-
fenced at that time because of the de-
Election of the magnetic needle caused
by local magnetic attraction.
How Milwaukee was first planned is
shown In the original map drawn by
Morgan L. Martin in 1888. Daniel Whit
ney's plan of Navarino, now Green
Bay, is also on exhibit. William Can
field s survey of the celebrated Indian
man mound at Baraboo lies in one of
the cases with a detailed description
of how the work was carried on. The
original notes on the surveys of La
Crosse and Prairie du CHEN are found
next to the Indian mound notes.
UFeaC hardshlps were encountered by
all surveyors who had part in stalking
out the state of Wisconsin. The notes
in the exhibit cases say that this was
true because of the inclement weathe
met with by the surveyors while work
ing in the uninhabited regions. In
those days it was essential to every
young fellows general fund of know
ledge that he know the principles of
surveying.
Some of the old fashioned instru-
ments that were used almost a hun
dred years ago have been preserved and
are now on exhibit in the cases at the
museum. Short accounts of the accom-
plishments of such pioneer surveyors as
Byron Kilbourn, E. M. Spalding, In
crease Lapham, and John Catlin are
also part of the exhibit

OUR BIRTHDAY.

With this issue the cold TIC" as
it is affectionately called by the news
paper men Of Wisconsin, begins its
seventh-seventh year Of continuous
publication. It's files are complete
chronological history Of the develop
ment of Wisconsin and particularly of
this section of the state, and it's
columns are crowded with the names
of the pioneer families whose members
laid the foundation on which the
prosperity of this state now rests.
From the beginning it has been the
policy Of the editors and publishers of
this paper to regard all matters per-
tanning in any way to Kenosha city
and county, as Of first Importance, and
nothing has been allowed to keep items
of local news out Of it's columns. In
the words Of subscriber whose name
has been on the subscription lists Of
the paper for sixty years, it is ia
home paper for home folks" and it is
the intention of the present manage
ment that it shall continue so. 1t is this
effort to cover all of Kenosha county
thoroughly that keeps the names Of
hundreds Of former residents of the
county on its subscription lists and the
Telegraph Courier is the link between
the old home and the new for them.
The support which the people of Keno
sha county have always given the
paper is increasing rather than di-
minishing with the years and there is
every prospect on this birthday ami
versary that the Telegraph Courier has
many more years of active service
before it.

OLD TINE MARCHES SCORE
Famous Conductor is Gracious With
Encores Although Greeted by Only
Small Crowd-New March Worthy
Addition to Long List.

John Philip Sousa and his famous
band, the entertainers of nations, play
ed a matinee concert in Kenosha on
Tuesday afternoon and while only a
little handful of people went to hear
the famous band the concert was one
of the greatest musical programs ever
offered in Kenosha. Just little gray
er but just as straight as ever the
famous conductor forgetting the weight
of his sixty years welded his baton
in the well remembered way and he
brought from his company of sixty
musicians that wonderful Sousa music
that set the blood in the arteries ting
ling and thrilled everyone in the aud
fence. Sousa was gracious even to the
small crowd of Kenosha people and
his graciousness was expressed in an
encore to every piece on the program.
There were wonderful pieces from the
classics but the audience stood on it's
toes when the baton brought in to ac-
ton the brass and reed instruments for
the old time Sousa marches. They were
nearly all encores but the band played
T" King Cotton, " Ell Captain Man
haitian Beach,, - and of course the
/" Stars and Stripes" All of the great
productions of the march king stirred
the audience to great enthusiasm and
several times there was demand for
a repetition of the old time favorites.
Featured on the program were two new
Sousa compositions. One was a jung
ling merry piece called Impressions
of the Movies,' and the other was a
wonderful march called "The Path
finder of the Panama. It had the
old time ring Of Stars and Stripes and
the melody of it was unusually catchy.
It was the second time that the band
had played the new march in public
and its rendition brought thunder Of
applause from the audience. The en-
core was the Stars and Stripes.
Featured on the program on Tues
day afternoon was the FEPrelude and
Love s Death from Wagner's "Tris-
tan and Isolde.' The wonderful blend
ing of the instruments in the grand
ensemble Of this great piece of music
was brought out like the mighty peal
of an organ played by master hand.
It was the most wonderful band music
ever heard in Kenosha.
The band offered as soloists Herbert
L. Clarke, the veteran cornetist, almost
as famous as Sousa himself, who play
ed Neptune s Court" and as an en-
core a pretty little piece called Chilly
Bells. = Miss Virginia Root sang very
charmingly "La Seranata," from Tos-
tt and as an encore sang with great
expression and wondrous tones a bal
ad, "Will You Love Me When the
Lilies Are Dead?o
Miss MARCEL Gluck, violinist of rare
merit played two splendidly executed
numbers on the program.
It was great concert and probably
the last concert to be given under the
mastery conducting of John Philip
Sousa in Kenosha.

NEW COUNTY ORDER MEETS.
Branch of Wis. Experimental Assn.
Holds Meeting on Saturday.

The first annual meeting of the Ke-
nosha County Order of the Wisconsin
Experimental Association was held
Saturday afternoon, April oath at the
Hotel Borup, Kenosha. The Kenosha
County Order was organized in June
1914, at Wi1mot, Wisconsin by a few
men in that section Of the county.
These men felt the need of an or
ganization within the county for bet
terment of agriculture and the dissem
nation of pure bred seeds. Last No
vember at special meeting held at
Hotel Borup, Kenosha, the order took
in fifteen new members. At the call
of the president the first annual meet
ing was held last Saturday afternoon.
The following officers were unani-
mously elected for the year 1915:
President, D. J. Vincent, Wilmot, Wis;
vice president, w. S. Dexter, Kenosha,
Wis; secretary and treasurer, Edw. L.
Holt, Pleasant Prairie, Wis.
Then followed an address by Prof
r. A. Moore, which was listened to
with great interest by all present
Prof. Moore emphasized the great ad-
vantage of cooperation. He showed
what great benefits would be derived
by having a county agent in Kenosha
county. President Vincent seconded
Prof. Moore Is talk in few we'll chos-
en- words. A committee was appoint
ed to petition the county board to Sc
cure a county agent. The salary of
the county agent is paid one third by
the United States government, one
third by the state, and one-third by
the county. There are at present
fourteen counties which have county
agents in Wisconsin.
The membership in the Kenosha
County Order now numbers thirty
three. Any person may become mem
Der of this order who is interested in
pure bred grains and live stock or in
progressive farming in general. All
members will please notify the secre-
tary of any pure bred seed which they
may have for sale. In buying pure
bred seed, the secretary will gladly
help. He has been a member of the
state association for the past four
years and is acquainted with many Of
the large seed growers Of the state.

The clean up campaign is off to fly
ing start and if it goes on as it has
begun it will be possible to take a
stranger into every nook and corner Of
the city without finding anything to
make excuses for. Furthermore, it is
certain that the good influence of the
clean up campaign will be felt through
lout the year. Once the vacant property
Owners get their lots thoroughly clean
Jed up, they will never permit them to
lapse into the old condition of unclean-

Where
You Buy
Glasses

That is much more Import
ant to you than the price you
pay.
There is only one way to
get satisfactory glasses. 1t
is to have your eyes tested
by a thoroughly reliable opti-
clan or oculist and buy lenses
especially ground to his pre-
scription, Any other method
is dangerous and very ex-
pensive.
That is why the place
where you buy your glasses
is of such extreme import
ance. Be sure you buy at
place where the lenses are ac-
curately ground and the
frames scientifically fitted to
your features.
You are sure of that when
you come to Gottfredsen &
Nicoll sand that absolute
certainty saves you consider
able money and much trou-
bles. No charge is made for
examination of eyes.

The assessors from the county had
their annual meeting at the court house
Tuesday and the usual effort was made
to impress on all Of the assessors the
desirability of following the full value
assessment law to the letter. Discrep-
ancies in the assessment of the towns in
the county are more glazing than those
between the different sections of the
city used to be and ii at is unnecessary
to say the least about it.

"Let us say that Smith, said the
Board of Trade man quoted in a prev
Iious editorial, sis one of your towns
people He is a buoyant fellow, full of
appreciation of the present advantages
Of your town, and it's possibilities for
Igrowth. He goes off some day to spend
week end with his wife's relations,
and incidentally gets to talking about
your town. He tells what good place
it is to live and do business in. -
:" A few months after it appears that
some young man Of the town visited
by Smith, is contemplating the starting
of new industry. He has little cap
ital, but finds his own home people in.
different to him. The words of your
friend Smith had been heard by him. 1t
strikes him that your place might be
an excellent town to get start in. He
writes to Smith, who invites the young
man to his home, and later introduces
him to the business men about town.
He gets the glad hand, and inside of
Ia few months your town has new in
Edustry.
~ believe" said the Board of Trade
man, that in the majority of cases,
new industries locate in somewhat that
way. Some are founded in response to
circulars and appeals sent out by Boards
of Trade The majority come because a
town has acquired reputation for
hustling, and for business and residence
advantages.
"Of course Smith might go visiting
for hundred week ends, talk his reIa-
ltives blind about the advantages of his
town, and never interest a soul to think
of moving there. Yet the hundred and
first time he might strike some one who
was thinking of entering some new
venture, and might bring something
back to his home community.
-" If 100 men in any town, - concluded
the speaker, F'would make it their prac-
tice on all possible occasions to say a
word tactfully--never forcing the sub
ject-to people from other towns as to
the advantages of their home place, in

spread reputation. Some of the peo-
pie that heard about the town would be
interested to make further inquiries. A
few of them would be likely to move in
and bring some good business with
Shem."
A town grows and is built by its rep
lutation, was the conclusion. To secure
the reputation, the citizens Of a town
must do all they can to spread infor-
nation about its advantages. From a
thousand chance seeds of information
and helpfulness, a few will bear fruit.
1t may seem luck and chance, but it is
really the result of a community habit
of push and expansion and search for
new opportunity.

On the theory that man who has
once been stuck with a bad check is
wary ever after, the men who make a
business of putting the bad paper in
circulation will have to cross Kenosha
off the list pretty soon. So many of
the checks have been put out here at
one time or another, the field of opera
tons must necessarily be getting linn
tied.
