The kitchen was warm, the smell OF
baking fruit cake fioated on its air in
clouds that came drifting upstairs.
The odor was so good that Dorothy
Warfield ran down and took her seat
right by the stove 1t was raining
hard-a drizzly rain that drowned the
yard and wrapped the fields in a mist
Down the long avenue it was just a
curtain of gray. But the kitchen was
warm. the stove bright, the kettle
singing away as if it was alive. And
over at the side table Aunt Sarah was
making another cake, wonderful one
of raisins and apples, and dozens of
other good things, all for Christmas.
LET me help beat the eggs said
Dorothy, at is lonesome up in my
room and I want something to do"
So the girl put an apron on and be-
gan to work at the cake. Great fun
1t was to whip the eggs till the white
stood stiff and get the whiffs of the
baking every time the oven opened.

ton, will give a musicale at the Uni
tartan Church Tuesday evening, Nav

about twenty well trained female

club. Several of the members will
appear in solo numbers, assisted in the
rendition of the program by the fol
lowing well known artists. Albert
Fink, the well known violin virtuoso

UNION GROVE GETS STATE HOME
With Cut of 100000 From Esti-
mated Budgets the Administration
Sees No Necessity for Levy of a
State Tax for This Year.

No state tax for the support of the
general government will be necessary
this year.
Approximately 100000 has been
cut from the estimated budgets sub,
mitted by the various state depart
ments, university, normal schools, board
of control and state highway commits
sion at the beginning of the session.
These are two important conclusions
announced by Senator George E. Scott,
chairman of the joint finance commit
tee today. He pointed out that year
before last $1,500,000 was levied for
the support of the general government
and that no such additional burdens
will be placed upon the taxpayers for
the next two years.
Although Senator Scott did not state
it is persistently rumored in legislative
circles, that the reductions made by the
finance committee will permit Of a
very substantial tax remission in each
OF the next biennial periods.
When the legislature convened in
January, the different departments Of
government submitted estimates in the
state budget, indicating the amount of
appropriations that would be required
to run the government for the next
two years. These estimates aggregated
So, $4,000. The cut of $4,000 900
means that the total disbursements for
the next biennial period cannot exceed
$27 $1,000 In spite of the fact that
there were requests for increased ap-
preparations, resulting from the rapid
growth of the schools, the increased
demands upon the different depart
ments of state as the result of their
growth, and the needed housing facili-
ties of the different charitable and
penal institutions, there will be but
little increase in the amount allowed to
run the state for the. next biennial
period over biennial period ending
June 3d. 1915. The estimated reduc-
tion given by the committee compre-
bends the appropriations necessary to
support all of the state departments,
boards and commissions, the normal
schools, the university, state aid to
highways, charitable and penal institu-
tions, maintaining the acute and
chronic insane, the expense Of the leg
islature, aid to semi-public associations
and such other aids as grants to grad
ed schools, rural schools, county insti-
tutes and training schools. It does not
comprehend, however, the apportion-
ment of the common school fund in
come, or similar fixed funds which have
no place in the regular state budget.

Grand Army Men Plan to
Make Reunion of 33rd Fea-
ture of Home Coming.
OLD VETERANS COMING BACK

Members of the Grand Army of the
Republic and particularly those con-
nected with Companies H. and /. of the
Thirty-third Wisconsin, are going to
contribute their part toward making
the Kenosha Home Coming a success.
On Tuesday afternoon S. B. Cropley
and D. E. Pierce of Pleasant Prairie.
the members of the committee in
charge of the annual reunion of the
two companies, met in Kenosha and
completed plans for the annual re-
union which is to be held at the Hotel
Borup on Sunday, June Goth, the day
following the events of Home Coming
week. Efforts will be made to make
this annual gathering of Companies H.
and [. the most notable held in recent
years and the Home Coming is to be
used as big lever to draw back to
the old camp ground many of the sur
viving members Of the two companies.
Letters are to be sent to every sur
vlvor and already assurances have been
received that members of the companies
will come from many states.
There are about sixty survivors Of
the two companies living in the differ
ent parts of the country and it is ex-
pected that fully half of them will
answer the roll call on the morning of
June Goth in Kenosha Erastus r.
Sherwood of Kenilworth who is presi-
dent of the organization Of the two
companies, has given his sanction to
the plans for the annual reunion and
he will send personal letters to all
members of the companies urging their
attendance at the reunion in Kenosha
and suggesting that they come to the
city In advance of the reunion day in
order to take part in the ceremonies of
the Home Coming celebration. 1t is
just possible that survivors of other
Aenosha county companies in the war
of the rebellion will make an effort to
secure the return of members of their
companies during these eventful DAYS
for Kenosha.
The general committee in charge of
the Home Coming meets this evening
to decide on the acceptance of a design
which is to be used in connection with
all of the Home Coming advertising.
Six designs have been submitted to
the committee by F. Stein, G. E. Dewey
and E. Faber and one of these will be
selected by the committee this even
ing. The successful competitor will re-
ceive a prize of ten dollars for his de-
sign. The selected design will be work
ed up into souvenirs and badges and
copy of it will be emblazoned ON the
formal invitation for the Home Com
ing which will be sent broadcast the
first week in June. These designs are
of decidedly clever nature. All of
them feature Kenosha as the 'tGate-
way of Wisconsin and also feature
the fact that the Home Coming will be
the eightieth anniversary of the first
settlement of Kenosha.
Many plans for the Home Coming
will be discussed at the meeting this
evening and it is probable that at this
time work on the program of the four
days events will be started. It is the
plan of the committee to announce the
completed program early in June.
