The plant was recently moved to the

that the company has big business
and it is believed that the Silverlake
factory will grow into big industry
within few years. As far as possible

Petitions Circulating to Ask
Congress for Law Taxing
Mail Order Houses on
District Business.
URGECOOPER TO SUPPORT BILL

The nation wide movement to have
the mail order houses taxed SO that
they will contribute at least a small
part to the support Of the districts in
which they are making their millions,
has penetrated to Kenosha and petit
lions have been put into circulation
here urging Congressman III. A. Cooper
to use his influence to secure the pas
sage of bill in congress which will
provide for the proper taxing of the
mail order business. It is probable
that the petitions will be urged strong
~ by the various organizations now
protecting home trade in Kenosha.
The petition, which is being signed
by merchants and citizens in general,
asks for the enactment Of legislation
which will compel concerns selling
goods direct to consumers entirely
by mail to contribute funds for the
development of the local community
where they trade.
AS it is now, every business firm in
the city and county must bear part of
the expense in the building and keep
ing up of good roads and bridges, pub
lie schools, agricultural colleges and
other institutions of learning, that all
living in the state may be benefited
and made more prosperous.
The local business men have borne
all these expenses in the past and feel
that it is unfair that mail order houses
and other like concerns elsewhere
should reap the benefit of this work.
Because of the workings of the Inter
State Commerce laws cities or counties
have no authority now to fix an assess
ment or collect from these concerns in
any form whatever The petition.
which will be forwarded to Congress
man Cooper, concludes as follows:
Every honest, legitimate merchant
feels that he has been seriously handi-
capped and his efforts discounted be-
cause Of deception, fraud and misrepre-
sentation being used in advertising
matter sent out by certain concerns.
f1This too should be taken into con-
sideration and legislation enacted,
which will compel all concerns to give
true and honest description of mer-
ehandise as to the quality and value
of goods advertised by them''

county this fall.
Whatever the decision, whether the
state highway commission shall make
the plans, or a local engineer, it will
be necessary to provide a fund for
payment of the cost Of these surveys
and plans, inasmuch as the cost of this
work by whatsoever done is a charge
against the general fund of each
county. If it is determined, either by
the county board or the committee,
the state highway commission shall
make surveys for your county, suitable
arrangements should be made so that
upon presentation of bills by this com
mission, they will be audited and al
lowed when submitted, and not carried
over until the next meeting of the
county board, inasmuch as we are
carrying all of these expenditures out
of our general appropriation, and
must have means of paying back the
cost Of this falls work to our appro-
priation fund prior to May ] next, and
the cost of future work from time to
time thereafter

Thirty-fve Honor Men, from Wau-

Union Grove State Home Site.
Kenosha county supervisors will
have a chance to study the problem of
working convicts first hand as the
state board Of control has sent thirty
FIVE of the so-called "honor men, to
do the grading and road building about
the new home for the feeble minded to
be erected at Union Grove. These
honor men, are under the manage
ment of two guards and they have
been at work since last Friday morn
ing. No protest against their working
has been made by any of the labor or
CARNATIONS in Racine county. They
have set up their camp just out of
Union Grove and it is probable that
they will be housed there during the
remainder of the winter. The mem
bers of the board of supervisors from
this county this morning received
formal letters from the state board of
control in regard to the proposed
working of convicts on the roads of
this county. The fact that men are
employed at the Union Grove institu-
tion will give the Kenosha men a
chance to find out under just what cir
cumstances the men are working.

Mystery Baby's Fate Is In
volved in Possibility
of Drowning in
Racine.
MAY Be MOTHER Died THERE

Is the mother of little Walter, Keno
sha's mystery baby, a suicide, lying
dead under the waters of Lake Mich
gang Or is she still in the land of the
ivingg A slight clue leads Mrs. John
Rodgers, POI Ridge street, who is Civ
ing the child home, to favor the
suicide theory.
Little Walter, safe and secure in the
arms of his foster mother, smiles SER
enely on the world, and though she
asks frequently when his muvver"
will come back, he has ceased to grieve
for her and is content in his new SUR
roundings.
Not SO, his foster parents. AS the
child grows happier they grow more
and more averse to parting with him,
and the thought that they may have to
do so weighs more heavily upon them,
and they are gradually losing their
peace of mind and serenity.
When in a Racine paper Mrs. Rod
gers read of the possible suicide of
young woman who might answer the
description of her who left Walter in
the home of Mrs. j. III. O'Brien, Elk
change street, October goth, she tele-
phoned headquarters in Racine for
more detailed account of the case.
She was told that a young woman
was seen walking on the lake front in
Racine after the child was left here
and that she seemed detected and
half demented.
Daniel Metcalf, who reported the in
cident, so impressed the police with
his theory of possible suicide that Ra-
cine authorities are now engaged in
dragging the lake with hope of finding
some clue, and Mrs. Rodgers is waiting
expectantly in the hope that some
definite information may be secured so
that she shall know whether there is
no possibility of the child's mother
returning.
Mrs. Rodgers has constant feeling
of insecurity. She is growing to be
fonder of the child with the passing
of each hour it is in her care. Her
husband is equally fascinated by the
little creatures baby charms, but mix
ed with their joy in the possession of
the child is the lurking terror that it
may be snatched from them.
To provide against any possibility
of kidnapping, the child is kept always
in sight of his new mother or of some
one in whom she has confidence. The
doors of the house are kept locked and
every precaution is taken so that if
anyone covets the baby, it will at
least be necessary for parenthood to
be proven and the child taken in
legal manner, if at all.
Developments of the Racine incident
are being awaited with intense inter
est by those who have the welfare of
little Walter at heart.
