Man is the Prime Factor, Not
a the Land.

Nine-tenths of the success in
farming comes from the man; pos
sibly one tenth comes from the land.
Tits is the confident assertion
male the other day by a landlord
who has watched the work of his
fifty tenants for forty years. One
or another of the farms was cited
which had yielded only meagcr
rental in the hands of one tenant
and had given satisfactory returns
when tenants we're changed. Some
other farms that had been profit,
able dropped to small returns when
the first tenants bought farms of
their own and moved away.
One of the best and blacklist
farms on the estate was dreary
wilderness of weeds while one ten
ant made excuses year after year
for crop failures. During the same
year other farms of poorer land
paid we'll, and so did this farm pay
handsomely after the inefficient
tenant moved off and an enterpris
ing man took up The task Of grow.
ing crops instead of weeds.
The accounts Of these fifty farms
for forty years are an instructive
revelation of mans importan on
the farm. They show how read
lily any man can correct his own
system OF management if he keeps
accounts and practices what they
teach him. The man who has diff
ficulty in making ends meet on a

his neighbor a few miles away put
ting money in the bank from sand
ridges or clay knobs.
Is it any wonder that almost
anywhere one goes he will find
some local farmers who assert that
right there is the best place in the
world to make money? One can
also find some OF the neighbors
dissatisfied and bent on moving
away. The man has more to do
with it than business conditions
or the land.-Breeders' Gazette.

HOLD BOYS AS THIEVES.
Seven Of Tender Age Brought Before
Judge Randall in Municipal Court.

Seven boys ranging in age from
seven to fourteen years, were brought
before Judge Randall in the municipal
court this morning charged with lar
ceny. 1t was alleged that the boys
had lot of booty at their homes on
Racine avenue and that they had caus-
ed considerable trouble to the police.
Among the things alleged to have been
taken by the gang were bicycle,
a revolver and lot Of small articles
taken from one of the five and ten
cent stores of the city. The court look
ed like a room in kindergarten when
the boys were brought in for ex-
animation. No formal complaint was
brought against the boys and even
their names were not spread on the
court records as it was held that they
were too young for any formal action
to be taken. The judge gave the boys
and their parents good lecture and
sent the children home with the under
standing that the parents were to
be held responsible for their future
good behavior.

TO PROTECT CHILDREN.
School Board to Put Up Signs Warning
Auto Drivers Of Dangers to Children.

Kenosha is going to have school
house districts and in these districts
the speed of automobiles must be re
duced to eight miles an hour as pro-
vided by the state law. After several
refusals on the part Of the common
council to erect signs showing the
the school districts the matter has been
taken up by the board of education
and the board has ordered signs put
UP on all streets in the neighborhood
of the schools warning the driver Of
automobiles not to exceed the eight
mile an hour limit. After the sign
boards have been put up demand will
be made on the police office to enforce
the law to the letter. In nearly every
city in the state the school districts
have been posted and the law is be-
ing enforced. The danger Of children
being struck by automobiles is claimed
to be grave and the new state law is
aimed at their protection.

During recent years thousands of
clubs have been formed for enjoyment
of athletic sports and country life. To
q large extent these clubs are formed
Ito provide grounds for the game of
golf, but other sports and pastimes are
included. Fresh air and invigorating
sport have been provided for host
of people.
Like all other phases Of American
life, many of these country clubs
have their incongruous aspects. The
first of them were quite simple. People
went out there in their old clothes,
played golf and tennis, studied botany,
got up informal picnics, and lived close
to the soil
The typical country club of the
larger cities today is very different
affair. If the members ever need their
store togs and glad rags, it is when
they go to the country club where the
Iswells of the town do congregate. Far
far away are fed the nature lovers. In
stead one sees richly gowned women
playing bridge for handsome prizes of
silver ware. The men prance around
in outing garments designed by the
most select tailors.
1t is natural enough for wealthy
people to spend their money as they
please. 1t is no ones else business if
they do erect hundred thousand dol
lar casino in place of the simple old
shed where the original golfers used
TO store their clubs. But many smaller
and less wealthy places make mistake
in feeling that they must also play the
game of country life in an equally
costly and formal manner.
1t is hard to keep any kind of club
life simple and inexpensive. The more
prosperous members become envious al

Examinations. Ten or twenty or fifty
dollars additional for dues is noth1ns

TheFpopular athletic sports of the
day need not be costly. A couple OF
hundred people almost anywhere who
desire such country sports could club
together and maintain golf links and
tennis courts in simple way. It is
the Injuries xof club houses and res.
faurants that cost rather than the ca.
eentials of these games.

Kenosha Baseball Club Seeks Return Of
500 COPIED When Team was Ousted.
The battle between the Kenosha
baseball team and the Lake Shore
Ball League, has reached the courts and
the managers Of the local team on
Monday instituted suit in the civil
court in Milwaukee demanding one
hundred dollars from the league. When
the league was formed last spring each
club posted a forfeit of one hundred
dollars to play out the season and some
four weeks ago the managers of the
league ousted the Kenosha club prac-
tically without a hearing. The one
hundred dollars which had been post
ed by the managers of the Kenosha
club was at once divided among the
other managers remaining in the
league. Manager Lueck has declared
that he lived up to every agreement
made for the Kenosha club and the
suit now in the courts Of Milwaukee
county is to recover the money which
it is alleged was taken without war
rant. The hearing Of the case is ex-
pected to come up within the next few
days. The local baseball managers
are determined to fight the case to
the bitter end. @

cutting taxes the tax bills are just as

goes to show that the governor did not
know what he was talking about.
Know Who to Blame
All Of this is known by the governor
and he intends not to be placed in any
such position, or if he is, that the peo-

that end he will continue to insist on

CITY GETS PREMIUM OF sl,482
First National Bank Of Kenosha is
Second Highest Bidder for the
Bonds Which are to be Delivered
Not Later Than August 18th.

Ine DOnded 1ndeDGedneSS or the city
was increased by 100000 on Monday
as acting on the recommendation of the
finance committee the city council at its
meeting on Monday night voted to sell
the 100000 bond issue for the new
Lincoln school and the 100000 trunk
sewer bond issue to the First Trust
and Savings Bank of Chicago. The
amount to be received from the bonds
is $161,4S2 and the accrued interest.
The bonds are serial bonds and all of
them must be paid off within the next
twenty years. They bear interest at
the rate Of four and one-haf per cent
and the bid of the Chicago purchasers
made them bring $1,000 each.
There was spirited bidding for the
bond issue, tibet fact showing that Ke-
nosha securities are in demand When
the bids were opened on Monday after
noon nine bids were received. The
most of the bids were from Chicago
and for the first time big Milwaukee
financial institutions put in bids for
the Kenosha securities. The First
National Bank Of Kenosha, was the
second highest bidder for the bonds,
the bid Of the local bank being only
$104.00 lower than that of the First
Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago
AS had been expected, the highest pre-
MUM was offered on the issue of school
bonds. This has always been the rule
In sales of bonds in Kenosha and in
most other cities.
Mccoy and Company Of Chicago the
company which bought the last issue
Of bonds sold in Kenosha, were the
third lowest bidders for the present
issue, but the fact that this company
came back seeking the new issue Of
bonds was an evidence that the former
bonds proved profitable investment
for the company. The bids for the
bonds were as follows:

John Nuveen & Co., Chicago 60,225.00
Charles G. Brown, president of the
First National Bank, declared that he
considered the sale of the bonds an
excellent one under the present fnan-
cial conditions. He admitted that
there was lots of money in the banks
and that this money was seeking in
vestment but he declared that for the
most part the bankers were seeking
short time investments and that for a
twenty year bond issue the amount of
premiums offered showed that Kenosha
bonds had very high standing.
The bonds are to be delivered about
the fifteenth of the month and the
money raised through their sale will be
available for the sewer and school
building work at that time. Thus far
all claims for payments on the sewer
have been met out Of the general fund
of the city and the school board has
found it possible to meet all demands
for the new school out Of its general
fund.
