AID RURAL TEACHERS.
Assembly Passed the Bill Proposed by
Former Kenosha Assemblyma1l.

Aid to rural school teachers without
the limitation of additional education
al qualifications was endorsed by the
assembly last night when that body
amended and engrossed the Dickie
bill. Assemblyman Hambrecht, who
opposed it because of the elimination
of the educational qualification feat
ufe, has moved reconsideration and
the bill will come up again tomorrow.
The original bill provided that rural
school teachers having two years
training in normal or manual training
school beyond the regular high school
course, should be entitled to special
aid Of fifteen dollars per mouth the
first year, one hundred and fifty dol
lars the second year, and two hundred
dollars the third year they remain in
the same rural school. The Herzog
amendment, which was Incorporated,
gives special state aid to teachers who
have had three years practical expert
ence in rural school, the amount be-
ing graduated according to the time
the teachers remain in the same school
district.
Assemblynlan Dickie opposed this
amendment, claiming it was extrava-
CANT. 1t was favored by Assemblymen
Nordman and O'Brien, the former a
county superintendent decade ago,
and the latter a school teacher
The assembly re-considered the
vote by which it killed the Laing
plumbing bill, refused to kill it by d
vote Of thirtysix to thirty-six, and
after amending 1t sent it to engross-
ment. 1t provides that any firm, per-
sons or corporation desiring to engage
in plumbing installation, or to install
plumbing in connection with or deal
ing in plumbing materials shall be re-
quired to have licensed master
plumber in charge An amendment by
Cretney eliminated the word master,
and allows the appointment Of any
plumber. 1t was adopted. The bill
was opposed by Assemblymen, Donnel-
ly, Crosby and Krembs and favored
by Assemblymen Vinegar, Hart and
Hambreeht.
There was long debate over the bill
to create new judicial court by de-
taching Sank county from the present
circuit composed of Sank and Dane
counties. Assemblyman Carl Hanson
offered data to prove that Judge E. r.
Stevens is overworked and that the
Dane county circuit is overcrowded.
Assemblyman Dickie of Sank county
opposed the bill, saying the legisla-
ture was forgetting the promises to
the people to abolish offices and re-
fuse to create new ones. The bill was
re-considered, but no vote was taken
on its engrossment.

WORTH DOUBLE PAR VALUE
Banks Are Taking Orders for the Coins
and the Fifty Dollar Gold Pieces the
First of the Denomination Issued Are
Featured in the Display.

The First National Bank of Kenosha
is selling gold dollars for two dollars
just thinking of it a person might be
Iof the opinion that this was poor bust
ness but at that in order to get the gold
dollars for two dollars the order must
be placed in advance and the pur-
chaser will have to wait quite little
while to get the money. He can also
buy a silver half dollar for a dollar,
or if he is opulent he may purchase
gold two dollar and half piece for
FIVE dollar bill. If he is in the mil
lionaire class he can give up hundred
dollars and get one of the first fifty
dollar gold pieces ever issued by the
United States government. It's the
Panama Pacific gold and silver that is
bringing this high price and it was
first put on display at the bank on Tues
day In fact the Kenosha bank is the
first bank in this section of the coun-
try to display the Panama Gold These
coins are declared to be the most beau
tiful coins ever issued under the author
ity of the United States government
and while the price asked for them is
high the supply is decidedly limited
and it is certain that they will be worth
more later. Just fifteen hundred gold
dollars and fifty dollar gold pieces have
been issued from the mint at San Fran
cisco. It is the first time that gold
money has been issued from a branch
mint and it was issued as concession
to the big San Francisco exposition
and with the understanding that the
money is to be sold at double the par
value.
All of the coins are legal tender at
their face value but it is doubtful if
any one Of them with the possible ex-
oeption Of the silver half dollar will
ever get into circulation The designs
for the coins made by some of the lead
ing artists of the country are wonder
full in beauty. This is particularly true
of the fifty dollar gold pieces. These
are made in two shapes, round and oc-
tagonal. They are of historic interest
on account Of the fact that they are
the first coins of this denomination in
gold to be authorized by the government
and they recall memories of the old
{" California slugs" issued way back
in 1849 by private minis which were
operated during the first rush to the
gold fields in California. IF Kenosha
people want to get these handsome
coins and at the same time contribute
something to the general fund of the
big exposition they can leave their
orders at either of the Kenosha banks
and the coins will be secured for them.
1t is not expected that the banks will
lave to put on extra forces to register
the orders from Kenosha

ELKs HAVE GREAT TIME.
Racine Elks Provide Great Entertain
ment for the Kenosha Members.


The big company Of Kenosha Elks
who went to Racine on Thursday af-
ternoon to attend the big picnic given
by the members of the Racine March
ing Club, had a great time. More
than three hundred Elks from the two
cities attended the big feed. !" and
there We're features enough to keep
them all busy from the minute they
reached the grounds until the last
automobile had left for home. The big
chicken dinner-ard it was some din
ner-was served just before six clock
and after dinner was over there was a
talk fest at which Congressman H. A..
Cooper acted as POSTMASTER. Featur-
ed was the presentation to the Racine
Marching Club of the handsome loving
cup which the club had won at the
Oshkosh state meet. Then there were
talks by Mayor ssBillo Thiesen of
Racine; G. G. Rogers of Racine, and
John NJ. Kehlor of Kenosha. The
Kenosha band accompanied the Keno
sha delegation and it was one of the
rea. - of the picnic. The band was
in evidence all the time. The program
Of sports and games which had been
arranged was carried out without a
break ana the weather man, while
flirting considerable with the Elks
early in the day, smiled his sweetest
smile while the picnic was in progress.

NO CURTAILMENT HERE
No Change is Made in Rural Routes
Out Of Kenosha Post Office

Notwithstanding the fact that the
post office department is ordering cur
tailment of the rural service in mary
parts OF the country, Postmaster r. v.
Baker has received no orders for
changes in the rural route service out
of Kenosha and none are expected. It
is declared that the carriers now work
ing out of Kenosha have all that they
can do to take care of the routes and
that any curtailment here would mean
a serious interference with what has
been fair service to the people living
in rural communities. Many changes
have been made in the service in the
Russell neighborhood and two carriers
have been takel off in Lake county.
1t is declared that the Democratic plan
for retrenchment is making the service
of the post Office department far from
as efficient as it was when the perfect
ed service was turned over to the new
administration. However the depart
ment is saving little money. Saving
money does not appeal to the Kenosha
patrons as the local Office has always
been big money maker for the feder-
al government.

SALEM WANTS REGULATION.
Sheriff Asked to Put Motorcycle Depu-
ty on Job to Protect Salem Roads.

The town board of the town Of Sa-
lem wants to curb the enthusiastic au-
tomobile speeders in that town and a
formal demand has been made upon
Sheriff Stahl for motorcycle deputy
In that town. Thus far there have been
no serious accidents in Salem, but the
members Of the town board declare
that the roads about Salem are no
longer fit for use on account of the
abuse of them by motor car drivers.
Sheriff Stahl will probably act on the
request and have man on the motor
cycle at least part of his time in this
section of the county. The speeders
court this morning had but one victim.
G. L. Sorrensen of Racine, was arrest
ed by Deputy Brankow charged with
riding the Lake Shore road at a rate
of thirty-fve miles an hour. He left
twelve dollars to pay the customary
fine of ten and costs.

NOT TO HANG WAPoosE.
Kenosha to Retain It's Record of TIav-
ing Only Legal Hanging in State.

President Wilson has come to the
rescue of one of the traditions of Ike
nosha county and Kenosha is going to
remain the only city in Wisconsin that
ever had legal execution by hanging.
A few weeks ago Judge Geiger in the
federal court at Milwaukee sentenced
James Wapoose, an Indian, to be hang
ed after he had pleaded guilty to
charges Of murder in the first degree.
President Wilson on Wednesday is
sued an order committing the sentence
to one Of imprisonment for life at the
federal prison. Wapoose was charged
with the murder Of Miss Mary Dixon,
the postmistress on the Indian reser-
walton. He was taken to the federal
prison today. Wapoose showed no in
terest in the fact that his sentence was
COMMITTED and he had declared on sew
eral occasions that he was willing to
give his life as penalty for his crime

One of the state Inspectors Making
Regular Weekly Trips to Keno5ha.
As the common council of the city of
Kenosha has refused to follow the die
tates of the state law and name an in
spector of plumbing regular weekly in
spections of plumbing installed in new
buildings is being made by Nicholas
Owen of Racine, of the state plumbing
inspectors, working under the direction
of the state board of health. Owen
comes to Kenosha every Saturday morn
ing and secures a list Of new buildings
under construction. He visits all of
these buildings and orders changes in
the plumbing if he sees demand for
such changes.
This plan is all right so long as the
state has an Inspector who is living in
Racine but it would be difficult for the
state to watch Kenosha buildings If it
was necessary to send a man down from
Madison. am hopeful that the Ken
osha council will see the great value of
having an Inspector for the city and
name one at an early date

PRICES GOING DOWN.
Dealers Declare That Price Of Sugar
Will Be Materially Reduced Soon.

"Sugar will probably be a cent or
more pound cheaper before long, =
said a prominent grocer this morning.
"The sugar beet crop is reported to be
exceptionally large, and at least ten of
the large beet sugar manufacturers
will start up this fall, adding large
" to the stock available for home
consumption.
In no other single article of con-
sumption has the average home in this
country felt the effects of the Euro
pean war more severely than in the
price Of sugar, this universal sweetener
being the one staple which every
house uses to a large degree.
Sugar prices awaited the morning
that England declared war on Ger
many, almost year ago. The price
scared, doubling for a period and then
wavering at figure from thirty to
forty per cent higher than pre-war
prices.
On July 80, 1914, sugar was sold
generally in Kensoha at four and one
half to FIVE cents a pound at retail.
The average price now is seven
cents pound, serious difference in
the home where sugar is as great d
necessity as is wheat bread.
Candy of all grades has been affect
ed by the war prices and manufact-
urers have had hard year, the incres-
ed cost being heavy. Now it is prob
able that the candy loving boy and
girl can soon buy good candy for
twenty-five cents a pound which they
have had to pay thirty-fve or forty
cents for, during the past twelve
months
American beet sugar manufacturers
have been greatly benefited through
the war. 1t is now expected that at
least ten large sugar beet factories
which closed down during 1914 on ac-
count of tariff reduction, will be
brought back into active operation
during the current season. In the list
are included three factories in Ohio,
which employed one thousand men and
had working arrangements with TWEEN
ty-seven hundred beet growers. Last
year only sixty beet sugar factories
were operated in the United States,
compared with seventy-one in 1913 and
seventy-three in 1912.
