G. & M. Seeking to Better Compete
With the G. g. N. w.

". u M. seeking TO Better compete
With the G. g. N. w.
In an effort to compete with the
Chicago and North Western Railroad
service between Chicago and Milwau-
kee, the officials of the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric road are planning
to have placed on their through runs
between those two terminals motors
with nearly double the power now
used on the road. 1t is the plan of
the road to clip twenty-four minutes
from the running time over the through
lines and if this is done it will bring
the schedule down to an even basis
with the steam line. It is declared
also to be the intention of the electric
line to have larger and more commodi-
Gus cars placed on the line and in this
way it is hoped by the officials that
some of the business now being handled
by their competitor will be theirs.
These cars are said to be under the
course of construction at the present
time and it is expected that they will
be in operation here early in the sum-
mer so that the vacation crowds may
be handled with more dispatch than
has been the case in the past.

rs STILL A WONDER.
Boy With Bullet in Brain Still Excites
Wonder from Physicians.

Stephen Stec, the ten year old north
side boy, who has been living with a
bullet in his brain for several months,
still continues to excite the wonder Of
physicians. Stephen is declared to be
about the liveliest boy to be found on
the north side of the city and it is
declared that he has never suffered a
minute of pain from his head since he
left the hospital. Stephen has not
been in school and his mother is anxi-
Gus to have him sent back to school,
but DR.. J. N. Pslt, who has been TAX
ing care Of the case, has suggested that
it would be just as well to allow the
boy to wait until after the summer va
cation. The boy has not been in bed
a single day since he was taken from
the hospital to his home and it is de-
clared that he spends most of his time
on roller skates.

MARY ANN PASSES AWAY.
Second Choice Vote Provision Killed
at Madison With No Mourners Present.

Mary Ann" the girl who made
more trouble for election officials than
any other worthless law ever passed
in Wisconsin, died a painless death at
Madison on Wednesday afternoon when
the assembly almost without division,
passed bill repeating all laws relat-
ing to second choice voting at primary
elections. The same bill has been pass
ed by the senate and it viii probably
be signed by the governor before the
day is over. Progressives in Madison
made no fight to save the Mary An"
bill. Evidently they had seen the
hand writing on the wall and knew
that opposition to the repeal of the
law was useless. The action of the
legislature in knocking out the second
choice provision will be hailed with de-
light by officials in Kenosha. It has
been the biggest nuisance ever put on
the statute books.

WISCONSIN CONGRESS At END
Meeting of Mothers in Kenosha Is De-
clared the Most Successful Ever Held
in consin-Resolution Praise the
Work of the Kenosha Women.

Mrs. Frederic Schoff of Philadelphia,
president of the National Mother S
Congress and a woman who has done
much to bring the home and the school
into closer relations, delivered nota-
bic address at the closing session of the
third annual Wisconsin Mother s Con-
gress at the Guild hall on Friday even
ing. A large company of people heard
Mrs. Schoff, the women of Kenosha be-
ing well represented at the session.
The address of Mrs Schoff was an elo-
quent plea for closer relations be-
tween the home and the school. She
declared that the parents Of children
must be first to form for them habits
of right living as the first six years
of the education of the child is in the
hands of the parents and that the pro-
vince Of the school was to develop
the character which had been for
mulated in early life by the parents.
She urged that parents show deeper
interest in their children and that the
home be made attractive, that it might
better furnish to the child that sym
pathy which he or she was too often
forced to seek in some other place.
The address by Mrs. Schof was the
feature of the closing session of the
Congress. Miss Martha Reilly of
Madison, spoke on "County Probation
Work, 4" strongly urged that the
county take a greater interest in pro-
baton work and urging the women to
take an interest in this feature of
county government. The Congress
closed with the singing of the Moth
er's Congress song.
At the afternoon session Of the Con-
gress many resolutions were adopted.
The Congress went on record as being
in favor of the "Fireside and Home
Circle and sought the encouragement
of the development of this, movement
in order to make the homes more at
tractive to the children. Resolutions
were passed favoring the encourage
ent of better and more books for the
home and the development of home
amusements for the children-for a
closer cooperation between the teach
ers of the schools and the parents of
the children in order that the develop
emit of the children might be car
.ried forward in the home as well as
in the schools.
The last resolution was one Of
thanks to the women Of Kenosha who
had been in charge of the sessions of
the Congress-
From every standpoint the Kenosha
| Congress was the most successful gath
ering of Wisconsin mothers in the his
tory of the movement. Tt gained the
active support of more than hundred
women from different parts of the
state and movements were started
which it is certain will be reflected, in
results attained in local communities
| during the coming year.
The sessions of the Congress in Ke-
nosha are certain to prove an added
stimulus to the work of the Parent
Teachers Association in this city.

May 1st was not recognized in Keno
sha as the "ofieial' moving day to
any extent The number of movers
has not averaged as high in Kenosha
as it does in most other cities for a
number of years for the reason that
there is very little renting property
available an ahis CITY, comparatively
speaking, and any tenant who has a
fairly desirable place to live is prac-
tically, forced to hang on to it. There
is nd competitive bidding between
landlords for desirable tenants in Ke-
nosha as there is in many other cities
and no special inducements are offered
anybody to change from one building
to another. ANY landlord who has any
property for rent in good neighbor-
hood never has it on his hands long
enough to make it an object to offer
any premiums. AS rule he can take
his pick from among numerous appli-
cants.

If the proprietors of the pool rooms
about the city are wise they will obey
the order of the chief of police and
keep all minors out of their places
from now Oh. This order is directed,
not against one or two places, but
against all of them and every proprie-
tor of poolroom is given exactly the
same chance as any other to make good
on it and avoid trouble. The order is
backed by the parents of every grow
ing boy in the city and good many
of these parents have offered to give
the chief evidence on which to secure
convictions for past offenses, but he
has decided to give all of the room
keepers fair start, whether they de-
serve any consideration or not. But it
is understood that from now on all
minors are to be kept out of the rooms.

The new postmaster of Kenosha is
not going to have any lack of material
when he comes to name new clerks and
carriers for the Kenosha post Office
as this morning Carl Maegaard, Secre-
tary OF the local Civil Service Board
received from the post Office depart
ment list of twenty-five Kenosha men
who had passed the examinations held
on November third of last year. Forty
one took the examinations and sixteen
failed to reach the mark demanded by
the government. From the list of
twenty-five eligibles all vacancies in
the clerk and carrier service in the
Kenosha Office will be filled during the
coming year. It is probable that with
the opening up of new territory for
city carriers and the possible opening
of new branch post Office that lot
of these men will find work with the
post Office. The list of the eigibles
given in order of rank at the examina-

TOWNS FOR BIG ROAD AID.
Commission Reports Taxes Amounting
to S753,0o Have Been Voted.


The Wisconsin highway commission
has received practically complete re-
turns from the town meetings which
give the amounts voted by the towns
for state aid road construction in 1916.
Returns were received from 942
towns out of the 1910 under the town
system. These towns reported votes
Of $753,0OO this spring, as opposed to
SAT-, 500 at the spring meetings last
year, an increase of sixty eight per
cent Estimating conservatively action
in the remaining towns, based on .ast
years action, and probably votes at
special meetings, indication are the
towns alone will ask for at least
$856,500 in state aid for 1916. Action
by cities and villages in accordance
with law is taken later. Last year the
cities applied for $4,000 in state aid
and the villages for $4,000. Esti-
mating conservatively that cities will
apply for $S1,500 and villages for
$4,000 for 1916, gives a total appli-
cation for state aid by towns, villages
and cities of $1,o7o,o00. If the state
aid appropriation is reduced to 100000
as has been proposed, the counties
would probably apply for only 1857 800
giving total application for state aid
of $1,237 500. The applications for
state aid for 1912 totaled $451,317 for
1913, $s3o,ooo; for 1914, $1,55S, $40,
and for 1915, $1,23o,OOO

The action Of the council in forcing
the street railway company to begin
sprinkling its tracks will be appreci-
ated by the property owners along the
lines of the road. 1t is the unanimous
desire of the people of the city that
all public utility corporations be COM
PEELED to live up to every provision in
their franchises and there is no fear
that the companies will be prosecuted
by the officials of the city. The COM
panies are amply able to protect them
selves and if there was single pro-
vision in any of these franchises that
the companies considered too burden
some or that they thought there was a
chance of their being relieved of, an
appeal would be made to the state rail
road commission Immediately.

OVERCOMING FEAR OF DEATH
useiessness Of Feeling Apparent TO
All, But Few Ever Succeed In
Mastering II.

The spirit will still be in a measure
the slave Of the body while we are
capable OF fear. The dream in our
hearts is somehow to break through
the last barrier Of fear-to come cut,
as someone has said, on the other side
of fear. The uselessnes6 OF the fear
Of death Is as apparent to us as the
sun In the sky Its ignobleness is. q
thing that haunts all who are subject
to 1t.
Whether the love of death as the
deliverer In the spirit of Walt Whit.
man is a passion to be cultivated may
be doubted. Those who have scorned
death most, as the great gentlemen of
the renaissance did, saw it none the
less the destroyer of the beauty of
mems bodies and Of the light OF the
world as the common man knows it.
To the religious mind, which accepts
the vision Of real and populated
world happier than this beyond the
grave. death is no doubt the deliverer.
But even to most religious men this
world has gathered about 1t all the
DEAFNESS Of home; death, at its best.
Is an exile. a desertion. They have
the bravery to die; but their bravery
has the sadness Of Hector's. And yet.
as with Hector. some instinct drives
them to despise this death Of the body,
to accept this exile as more to be de-
sired than. safety and mans own
hearth and children.
Christian, pagan, and atheist are at
one in this. They feel that the life Of
the body itself can be fully enjoyed
only when the fear of those that kill
the body has been utterly overcome

NOTES or THE SHEEP FLOCK
Animals Fit Nicely Into Modern
Farming-EarIy Maturity Is I'm
portant Point to Consider.

AS the country ages and the fertil-
ity of its fields becomes exhausted its
appreciation of the sheep will in
crease
Early maturity is an important quail
ity to consider in selecting sheep.
Whether you are keeping sheep for
pleasure or profit, your desires will
be fully met If your flock is of supe-
rior quality.
A strong sheep does not absolutely
need to be large one, in fact ma
jority of the strongest sheep are me-
dunn sized.
Sheep do not interfere with, but
fit nicely into modern farming.
Sell the aged ewes to q butcher be-
fore the pastures dry up.
Sell the fat lambs as soon as they
are fit, and give those left a better
chance.
One or two gentle ewes should be
left with the lambs to keep them gen.
tie.
Sheep that are in any way diseased
should never be retained for breeding
stock. no matter how good fleece or
lamb they may produce.
Good lambs are money-makers.
