BY a most satisfactory exhibit
at the San Francisco exposition
Montana has been established as
one of the leading agricultural
states of the Union.
Fallon county has done and
can continue to do considerable
toward maintaining Montana's
reputation along this line. Every
one growing grasses grains, veg
etables and fruits in the county
should bear in mind the dates of
the Fallon County Fair, Septem-
ber 14th and 18th, and get the
greatest possible number of ex-
hibits entered. From these will
be selected an exhibit that will
represent the county at the State
Fair. This is a big year for Mon.
tana in the agricultural world.
Do what you can to have you,
local community well represented
and YOU will be assured the bene.
fits that are certain to accrue
from such advertisement.
The following are statement:
from Frank Hazelbaker, Secre
tary of the Montana Exposition
Commission, and from Governor
Stewart:
Montana has received award!

position as given herein. While
no official list of the names OF
parties receiving in div d u a
awards has been issued, yet it is
safe to say that every section of
Montana from which the Com
mission was able to secure exhib-
it's has shared in the awards.
The awards on apples have not
been made but have been defer
red for this years crop. Montana
can contidentially count on the
Treasure State faring we'll in that
department if the apple growers
will see that the apples are fur
nished the Commission.
More interest is being taken
in our exhibit every day and more
people are inquiring about Mon
rama and assure the attendants
at the exhibits that they contem-
plate going back through Mon
tana and they expect to stop off
to look the country over.
A letter received from the
Chief of Agriculture, today, con-
firms the statement that Montana
has won more awards in Agricul-
ture than any other state or coun-
try showing in that department.

Governors Statement

Intensely pleasing to me is
the announcement which reaches
this office in a telegram today
from Mr.. Hazelbaker proclaiming
the victory Montana has achieved
in competition with the world at
San Francisco. There is no need
in my Disgusting the fact that |
have expected to receive such a
message. ! have long known that
Montana leads the world in the
quality and quantity per acre of
her farm products.
The victories which Montana
has heretofore achieved in open
competition with the world at
land shows and similar exhibit
tions gave us good reason to be-
lieve that this state would make
a showing at the Panama Pacific
exposition that would confirm the
verdict so often heretofore rend-
cred. While l am not greatly
surprised, therefore, | am i'm
mensely pleased.
early last year | determined
that Montana should be credit.
ably represented at these expo
sitions. | felt that it would be a
sad blunder for this state not to
take advantage Of the splendid
opportunity that these exposl-
tions would afford to make a dis
play of this srate's wealth and
products.
The result justifies the labor
and money expended in assemb-
bling the exhibit. and not only
reflects credit upon the energy
and enthusiasm of the members
of the Montana commission, but
also places this state to the fore

tricts of the world.
mot only do the soil and eli
mate of Montana receive world
wide and valuable advertising by
this string of notable victories,
but the results at San Francisco
also proclaim to the world that
Montana is farming and farming
it right.

TWO PRIMARIES
MUST BE HELD
Attorney General Poindexter
Renders Opinion On State
Election Law.

Two primary nominating elec-
tions, one for naming county,
state and congressional candl-
dates. and the other for choosing
presidential and pres d e N t ia
elector nominees, must be held in
Montana next year, according to
an opinion given Secretary OF
State a. M. Anderson by Attorn-
ey General J. B. Poindexter.
The two elections are made
necessary because of conflict in
the state election laws. One law
provides that a general primary
election for the nomination OF
county and state officers, United
Stats Senators and congressman,
must be held on the 10th day pre-
ceding the general election; an
other law provides that a primary
election for choosing presidential
and vice-presidential electors and
convention delegates must be
held on the 45th day preceding
the first Monday in June.
Noting the conflict in the two
laws, Secretary of State A. M.
Anderson some time ago asked
the attorney general for an opin
ion. Ii it had been held that the
primary election for presidential
candidates must be at the same
time as that for nominating state
and county officers, it would have
made it necessary for all such
candidates to go through cam
paign of nearly eight months, as
the national primary will be held
during the middle part of March,
while the general election is held
in November.
Attorney General Pvindexter
gives the following opinion with
reference to the two laws:
Inasmuch as the primary law
relating to state and county Of
ficers fixes the date of that elec-
ton, and the presidential primary
did not, or could not, amend that
law, it necessarily follows that
the date fixed in the first of these
primary laws for the nomination
of state and county officers must
govern as to these officers. anC
that the time for holding the pri
mary nominating elections named
in the presidential primary law
has reference only to the nom
ination Of candidates for the of
fees named in that act. 1t ina!
also be observed that by the pro
visions of Section %, Article V
of the state constitution, the sub
ject of all bills shall be clearl,
expressed in the title and if an,
subject shall be embraced in an,
act not expressed in the title, tn
act as to such subject shall b
void. The title to the presidentis
primary law does not make an
reference, directly or indirectly
except to candidates for pres
dent, vice president, delegate
to presidential conventions AL
presidential electors.
There is nothing in this It'll
that would apprise any voter {
the fact that he was voting for
measure which would in an
manner amend or change tn
provisions of the law relating
candidates for state and count
offices. Measured by this pr
vision of the constitution, the t
tie to this bill is not broad enoug
to sustain the act, as an amenc
ment, changing the date of tn
election named in the other init
atory measure.

HEALTH WORKERS PLAN.
Annual Meeting of Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association to Be Held. +

DR.. G. Windesheim of Kenosha and
DIR. T. Il. Harrington Of Milwaukee
have been appointed by the Executive
Committee of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association to take
charge of the general arrangements and
program features for the annual state
convention of the association. The
dates selected for the convention are
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Novem-
Der 18th, 10th and goth, and the meet
ings will be held as usual in Milwaukee.
The success of last years convention,
one of the best in the history of the or
ganization, has determined the execu-
tive committee to follow the same gen.
eral plan this year with one exception.
The sanitorium and nurses conferences
will not be held at the same hour, many
delegates desiring to attend both con-
ferences. Tt is probable that the SAM
torium conference will be on Thursday
and the nurses conference on Saturday,
Friday being reserved exclusively for
the general sessions of the State Asso-
citation. An evening dinner at one Of
the hotels will be one Of the convention
features.

EXTEND BEATS OF PATROLMEN
Force Is Now Made Up of Twenty Three
Men But More Boxes Are Needed to
Extend Service of Officers to the
Newly Annexed Territory.

Three new men were added to the
Kenosha police force on Friday night,
this bringing the force up to its full
strength of twenty three men and with
the vacancies all filled. The new men
who joined the force on Friday evening
were, Dorsey Seeds, Henry Meurer and
Walter Lojeski. They were immed-
lately assigned to night patrol duty.
The readjustment of the force makes
possible the covering of practically ev-
cry portion Of the city by systematic
police service. The only portion of the
city not covered by the police now is
the district to the west of the Chicago
and Milwaukee tracks and South of
Prairie avenue. Officers make occasion
al trips into this territory but they
are made on call rather than as a part
of regular patrol service. It will be
impossible to extend the service into
this big territory until after some pro-
vision has been made to install police
call boxes in the territory. This will
mean considerable expenditure to the
city and no provision has as yet been
made for it. With fifteen men for night
duty the department. is better able to
take care Of the city than ever before.
The residence districts of the city are
declared at the present time to have
as good night police service as will be
found in any city the size of Kenosha
and the service is lot better than is
found in many cities. Five men be-
sides the chief of the department. are
assigned for day service and four of
these men are available for regular
service in patrolling the city. Two men
have been assigned to the patrol wagon
and these men are subject to call at any
time during the twenty four hours
Both are housed at the Central Engine
house.
In the past few months Chief o Hare
has been installing real systems in
handling the business Of the department.
and this work has gone a long way
toward making the service more eff
cient. The need of traffic police Off
GERS in the city has been fully met and
with this work the efficiency of the
other features of the police system have
not been interfered with.
Chief O'Hare is urging strongly the
building of a special building to be
used as a "Police Headquarters and
he is urging that city Jail be con-
structed in connection with this build
ing. The state board of control has
made many complaints against the
present city lookup and it is certain
that the board would strongly recon-
mend the plan suggested by the chief.

JOHN WYss ASKS DIVORCE.
Kenosha Man Would Sever Domestic
Relations Of Nearly Thirty Years.

In the circuit court on Friday after
noon John Wyss, resident of Kenosha
for the past seventeen years, filed a
suit for divorce from his wife Margaret
Wyss. He charges cruelty. The mar
riage Of Mr. and Mrs. Wyss took place
in Warren, Pa, July 3, 1889 and they
have since lived here. In his complaint
the husband asserts that the treatment
his wife has accorded him has been such
as to undermine his health and force
him to give up his business. He de-
mands the custody of the one minor
child, Peter Wyss. It is stated in the
complaint that Wyss has property to
the value of $4,000. Wyss has filed an
affidavit asking that no order for suit
money or attorneys fees be entered
against him claiming that he has re-
Gently given to his wife considerable
sum Of money. The plaintiff in the
case is represented by Attorney George
W. Taylor.

MUST CONDEMN PARK LANDS.
Members Of the Park Board Fail to
Reach Amicable Agreement

The Kenosha Park Board is going to
be forced to condemn lands in order to
carry out its plan to give Kenosha a
new park system. Since the city voted
the bond issue, members of the park
board have been making an effort to
secure some amicable agreement for the
purchase of the twenty-three acres
known as the Ludwig farm, but no
agreement has been reached and the
members of the board are convinced
that it will be impossible to reach an
agreement. 81
The lowest price offered by the own
ers of the property is 1925 an acre
aid the members Of the commission
seem to think that they can secure the
land at lower rate by appealing to
the court through condemnation pro-
ceedings. City Attorney John G. Slater
has been instructed to start proceed
ings at once and it is expected that the
matter will come up at the October term
OF the circuit court.

WILL AVOID DUPLICATION.
Boiler Inspection Plan Provides For
Using Present inspectors.

State inspection Of stationary boilers
soon will be an actuality. The indus
trial commission before long will adopt
a set Of rules. Fees will be charged
Insurance company inspectors will con-
tinue to inspect boilers which are insur-
ed. There will be no charge to the own
er other than the premium paid to the
insurer. In Milwaukee the city inspec-
tor will continue to make inspections
without interference from the state.
The commissioner Is inspectors will in
spect only those boilers outside of Mil
waukee which are not insured. The code
will be in effect shortly after the first
Of the year.
Nearly every boiler in Kenosha is in
Guided in the Ensured" list and it is
said that the enforcement of the law
will make little difference to manufac-
turers here.

CHARITY WORKER TO STUDY.
Miss Margaret Edgerton Resigns Her
Position With Associated Charities.

Miss Margaret Edgerton, who for
the past two years has been assistant
to Miss Cottrill in the work of the As
ISOLATED Charities in Kenosha has re-
signed her position to spend two
months vacation. At the end of her
vacation she will enter the school of
Civics and Philanthropy in Chicago for
further study. Miss Edgerton has been
most active in the work of the "Chari-
ties' in Kenosha and her work has
been a great aid in relieving the dis
tress in the city. She has given to the
local work the benefit Of thoroughly
trained worker and the officials of the
local organizations regret deeply that
she is leaving the city. Miss Marie
Lambin of Chicago will take charge Of
the work which has been done by Miss
Edgerton. Miss Lambin is fully ac-
quainted with the demands of the work
in Kenosha and like Miss Edgerton she
has had wide experience in this kind of
work.

MANUFACTURERS LIKE IDEA
Merchants in Down Town District As
sure Committee That They Will Give
Up Windows for Last Week in Oc-
tober or First in November.

Plans for the big "Made in Keno
sha" exhibit, the fall feature offered
by the Kenosha Retailers association
are maturing very rapidly and it is ex-
pected that some formal program for
the big event will be issued within the
next few days. Merchants in the down
town district have given their most
hearty cooperation to the plan and it
is certain that hundred store windows
in this district of the city will be turn
ed over to the members of the commit
tee in charge for use either during the
last week in October or the first week
in November. 1--WE have not as yet
set definite date for the Made in
Kenosha' exhibit" said III. G. Hansen,
chairman of the committee this morn
ing, "but the thing is working along
fine and we feel certain of the success
OF it. We are hopeful that we will
have the cooperation of every mer-
chant and manufacturer in Kenosha in
this venture. 1t is going to open the
eyes of the people just to be able to
see the large variety of things there
are made in Kenosha. Lots of the
things made in Kenosha are not sold
to Kenosha people, but we are hopeful
that this exposition will go long way
toward bringing closer relations be-
tween the reailers and the manufactur-
ers. There can be some really wonder
full exhibits arranged. About the only
thing that is bothering us just at pres
emit is how to get an automobile into
a store window but we feel that the
men out at the Jeffrey plant will be
able to solve the problem of making up
this display. With all of the other fac
tories it will be an easy matter to ar
range for display of products"
Other members of the committee are
Charles B. Werve and HI. e. Barden,
and both Of these we'll known business
men have been heartily in accord with
the movement and working for its sue
cess. 1t is expected that a committee
of manufacturers will be named next
week to cooperate with the retailers
and after this committee is named the
plans will go forward rapidly. 1t is
planned to have the exhibit exte. led
over period of week. There is not
to be any band concerts or parades in
connection with the exhibits but with
out these features it is expected that
the display of Kenosha made products
will draw many people to the down
town districts
Displays of home made products have
been held in several of the cities of the
state during the past few years and
every one Of them has proved to be
decidedly interesting.

c. Kimball, Ed. Schmidt and Nicholas
Schuetz Released from State Prison.
Three Kenosha young men who were
serving terms of one year each in the
state prison at Waupun, were released
today by orders Of the state board of
control. They were George Kimball,
Edward Schmidt and Nicholas Schuetz
and the board has issued a parole in
each case. The three young men were
arrested here last spring on charge
Of using an automobile without the
consent of the owner and sentenced to
a term of one year. They have been

their parole was recommended by the
warden Of the prison. 1t is under
stood that they will return to Kenosha
at once and take a new start in life.
A half dozen petitions for paroles
of Kenosha county prisoners were con-
