START INSTALLATION At ONCE
Wisconsin Gas & Electric Company the
Only Bidder For Contract Hopes to
Complete the Work Of Installation by
the Last Week in June.

Kenosha's "Great White Way is to
become reality as the common coun
Gil without division at the meeting on
Monday night voted to let the contract
for the installation of the proposed
decorative lights on Main, Market and
Wisconsin streets to the Wisconsin Gas
& Electric company, and the work Of
installing the new lighting system is to
be started at ONCE and the men in
charge Of the installation are hopeful
that the work can be completed by the
time the former Kenosha people come
back for the home coming the last week
in June. There was but one bid on the
furnishing of current and the installa-
ton of the new lights.
The type of lamp to be used is known
as General Electric Ornamental Nova
Lux Fixture Each of the standards
will be fitted with 300 watt Mazda
light. The installation is to be under
ground and the lights will remain the
property of the Wisconsin Gas & Elec-
trio company. Under the provisions of
the contract that company is to furnish
the light for period of ten years.
A part of the lights will be burned
during the entire night and a part of
them from a half hour after sunset I'M
til midnight. For the lamps burning
all night the company will be paid at
the rate of $3.50 a year, while for
those burning for the shorter period the
price will be $61.5O. The men who
have made an investigation of the cost
of similar lamps in other cities hold
that this price is a decidedly favorable
one for the city
The contract provides for the install
lation of new lamps at any time during
the ten year period with the under
standing that if the lights are installed
after the first year the city shall pay
a portion of the cost Of installation.
This plan is the same as that followed
in the general street lighting contract
recently made between the city and the
company.
Under the plan the new lights which
will be set on the curb will take the
place of all arc lights now in service
in this section of the city. The cost
of the new lighting system will be
shared between the property owners and
the city at large. the property owners
paying two-thirds in the way of an an
nual assessment collected with other
taxes and the city paying the one third
from the regular light fund.
1t is declared that the type of lamps
to be used in Kenosha is the latest
model of lamp for decorative purposes
and they are now being used in many
OF the larger cities. The order for the
equipment, was sent out this morning
and it is expected that the work of in
stalling the lamps will be well under
way by the end of the week.
The plan for the decorative lights has
been under consideration for more than
three years and the special committee
of the Kenosha Retailers association.
in charge of the movement, is jubilant
over the closing up of the contract.

HOW TO PLANT AN APPLE
TREE.

The tree should be planted as
deep as it formerly grew in the
ground. This you can tell very
easily by the different color
shown on the tree above the
roots. We would advise digging
a hole foot square and from IL
to Is inches deep as it must be
large so that the roots will not
be crowded. In planting a tree
be sure to firm or press the dirt
very solid around it, then pour
about a gallon of water around
same.

APPETIzERs IMPORTANT.
Coaxing the Appetite Declared to be
Important Function of Spring Menus.


Appetizers are an important part of
the menu in the spring days when one
IS inclined to daily with food and the
appetite needs coaxing. And the fresh
vegetables with their abundant cellu-
lose, furnishing a bulk diet instead of
the more concentrated fare of winter
days.. are very welcome. But toning
up is not the only need of the system
in spring time. It is well for the
housewife to know the tissue building
and energy giving properties of the
various foods she serves. Dried peas
and beans rank highest among the It's
sue building vegetables, according to
a correspondence study course in home
economics offered by the University of
Wisconsin Extension division. Dried
peas contain as much as twenty-four
per cent of protein. Other heat and
energy giving vegetables, cereals and
fruits are: sweet potatoes, lima beans,
Irish potatoes, parsnips, peas, corn,
squash, beets, carrots, turnips, rice, rye
meal, cornmeal, buekwheat flour, wheat
flour, pearl barley, oatmeal, tapioca,
hominy, maearoni, dates, raisins, figs,
prunes, bananas, plums, grapes, buckle
berries, pears and apples.

The campaign against the
house fly has become one of the
most popular phases of the pub
lie health movement. Whether
it is entirely a war on the fly as
a dangerous carrier Of disease,
or partly an attempt to exter-
inmate the fly as pestiferous
disturber Of public peace, the
result is the same. It prevents
the spread of disease and saves
human lives.
1t has been so frequently urg
ed that we should clean out the
sources of infection rather than
to wait to literally swat the fly,
hat the statement is now plati
tude. The principle is sound,
however. In fact we should GO
farther and make our municipal
fly campaign, a "city beauti-
full" campaign. This kind of
work shows more striking, i'm
mediate results and can be made
an important factor in arousing
and keeping up a strong civic
pride.
A section Of the Crusader
is devoted to the fly and fly
campaigns. If you fail to find
the information or suggestions
here which you want, write and
tell US just what you are looking
for. You will undoubtedly find
also that the University Exten-
sion Division at Madison has a
good packet library on this sub
ject, which is usually splendid
source of getting free informa
tion on almost any subject, and
one which is comparatively lit
tie appreciated by the public.
The utilization Of this infor-
nation is up to you. Not only
see that you leave nothing I'M
done to exterminate "the under
taker s travelling salesman but
help create a civic pride which
will insure every one doing his
part.

building of the trunk sewer extension
the council voted without division to
have an ordinance presented at the next
regular meeting which will provide for
the issuance of sewer bonds to the
amount of 900 to take care of the
city's portion of the expense OF the
sewer. At the same time the council
directed the city attorney 20 submit an
ordinance providing for the issuing Of
school bonds to the amount of 100000
to be used as a fund for the building
Of the Collins street school.
It is thought that the issuance of the
large amount of bonds at one time will
result in the city getting a much bet
ter price for the bonds than they would
secure in separate issues. Before the
bonds can be issued it will be necessary
for the council to pass the bond or
dinances, but no opposition was shown
to either issue. Under the laws and
the city charter it will not be necessary
to submit the question of issuing the
sewer bonds to the people.
Vote For Tarvta.
After an argument which lasted for
more than an hour the council decided
to repair the macadam streets at the
expense of the city and to this end ST.
200 was appropriated for the work.
This will mean the surfacing of the
streets with crushed stone and the COW
ering of them with tarvia. This plan
had the support of every member of
the street committee and the main
question at issue was as to who should
paw for the work and materials. AS
the matter was finally settled the
work this year is to be done by the
city at the expense of the city, but if
second application of the tarvia is
necessary next year it is understood
that the cost of it will be charged to
the property owners on the various
streets. The motion as passed included
all of the macadam streets with the
exception of Eagle street between Park
avenue and Durkee avenue. A large
proportion of the property owners on
this street had protested against any
oily substance being put on the street
and the street committee held that the
protest should be followed. The work
on Eagle street was referred back to
the street committee and if the prop
erty owners decide to have the work
done it may be necessary for the coun-
Gil to make a slight increase in the
appropriation. The work on the other
streets will be started just as soon as
the weather will permit and it is GER
tain that the streets will be surfaced
before the end of this month.
The regulation of popcorn wagons on
the streets, the opening Of public aue-
ton room were matters that came up
for some discussion but they were re-
ferred to the committees.
Health Board Reports.
The annual financial report of the
Kenosha board of health was submitted
and this showed that although Kenosha
was declared to have lower death
rate than any city of its size in the
country still the cost of maintaining
its health department. had been only a
little over $4,000. The economical handi-
ing Of the work Of this board has re-
fected great credit upon the members
of the board.

Radius Rods

You will not find radius rods on
many cars excepting those ofhigh
price or if you do find them, you
will note they are insignificant In
size. Some cars drive thro' the
springs just becauseit happens to
cost more to use radius rods and a
torque arm as Studebaker does.
But it also happens that radius
rods take the driving thrust that
the springs have to take in
other cars. And so make the car
EASIER-riding.

runs from tip to tip ofthe springs,

spring must be firmly attached to
the frame. Studebaker, in addi-

steels and design that make them
wonderfully elastic andiong-lived,
is able, becauseit usesradius rods,
to make the spring" SPRINGER" so
to say, and also to use spring

when you sell quart OF milk for
7 cents you are giving more food for
the money then the buyer can get in
most other forms. Il is twice as cheap
as mutton or fresh flsh,six times as
cheap as dried beef, nearly three
times as cheap as beef chuck. 10 per
cent cheaper than pork loin, three
times as cheap as beef serloin, near
ly three times as cheap as cheap
eggs. The staples that cost less in

are such things as potatoes, rice,
