INTERESTED IN INTAKE.
w. H. Wheeler of Beloit Who Built the
First Water Plant Wants the Job.

William Ell Wheeler of Beloit, who
was in charge of the building of Keno
sha IS first municipal water plant, is
anxious to build a new water plant for
the city. Mr.. Wheeler got into com
munication with the officials of the city
on Thursday and notified them that he
wanted a chance at the contract for
the new intake and pumping station.
Thus far no specifications or plans for
the new plant have been prepared
City Engineer Brennan has made some
preliminary plans, but no final action
can be taken along these lines until
after the deal for the sale of the old
plant has been closed up. This will
not be until late in Jnue. At that the
members of the water board are hope
full that some formal action to ask for
bids can be taken before this time.
Assurance that the plan will be car
ried out is now being given to the
members of the commission and En-
gineer Mead of Madison, is working
with Engineer Brennan in the compile
ton of the plans.

Remuneration MADE BINDING |
Kenosha German Declares That He Is
in Full sympathy With Note of Presi-
dent Wilson to the Country in Which
He Was Born-All Promise.

"You understand do you that you
may be called upon to fight under the
flag of the United States against the
country in which you were born?''
This is the new question that is be-
ing put to every alien who appears at
the Office of the clerk of the circuit
court and asks that first or second
papers be issued to him as citizen of
the United States Before the ques-
ton was :" Do you forever renounce your
allegiance to you native land and it's
present ruler but in times of war
naturalization like everything else, is
being affected and there is not going
to be any chance for the new citizen
to get the wrong idea of what it means
to become a citizen. He is supposed to
know that he is going to be a fighting
citizen This same question is being
put to neutrals and belligerents alike.
1t must be answered by the man who
was born in Germany and just the
same by the man who was born in Dem
mark. The question is not one of the
regular questions in the Alien Pri-
mer, " sent out by the government, but
the government officials have given
their sanction to this question being
put to every applicant for papers.
During the past few days several
German born residents of Kenosha have
made application for first papers and
regardless Of the possibility Of strained
relations between Germany and the
United States not one Of them has
baked on the demand that they be
ready to fight for the flag should their
services be demanded in case of war
with Germany. George Frederick Kir-
cher, who has been in the United
States since August 1910, was the last
German to seek first papers. He was
given the usual oath and he comment
ed on it E'You know [ believe that our
President Wilson, and he emphasized
the "our,' is right in his demands up
on the home government. Kircher
declared that Germans seeking citizen
ship in this coutry meant to be real
citizens and to bear all the burdens
of their adopted country. He assert
ed that the Germans had shown will
ingness to fight before and that the
same spirit would be found in the
younger generation coming to this
country.
Italians, English, Danes and Aus
trinas have subscribed to the new
statement without comment. Nearly
all of the people have declared that
their sympathies were now with the
United States and that in seeking citis
zenship they did sitswith the under.
standing that they were going. to be
real citizens in every sense Of the word

INK GETS RESULTS.
Church Members are Convinced That
Advertising Solves Many Problems.

=
Advertising church and the Chris
tan religion in a newspaper is con-
vineing the people of the First Bap-
fist Church that printers ink gets re-
suits. Church advertising has been a
problem, but in a large measure has
been solved to the satisfaction of the
committee and members who are mar
shalling their forces, and are working
for the up-building and betterment of
Christian character. eff we displayed
our religion as we do the things we
have to sell, - said one of the members
of the committee in charge of the cam
paign, Hthe converts would me many,
and many more with the aid of news
paper which we know reaches the peo-
pie where no other medium seems to
get results. Advertising a church
means much. Tt means that you have
to make good what you say, and to
have the attractions you advertise.
In other words have the goods behind
your advertising the same as any
other legitimate business. It's make
good proposition all the way long.
Advertising costs money. When you
put money in newspaper advertising
you really put up bond that you
have something worth while. There
fore, when you appeal to the public to
come to church it means more than
most appeals that appear in print, it
means that the church is in earnest and
that Christian fellowship, cooperation,
eompanionship, helpfulness, good as
soeiations and good influences are the
good things the church has to offer.
The church must not keep its goods on
the shelf, but keep them in circulation,
for good things ought to be advertised
and distributed for the benft of the
people,"

Four Young Men Arrested for Taking
Orpheum Property Not Arraigned.

David Pursley, Ed. Harmer, Jack
Davis and Gordon Morehouse were
brought into the municipal court this
morning in connection with the alleg
ed looting Of the Orpheum Theatre on
Market street. The four men admitted
that they had taken things from the
theatre, but insisted that they had
taken these things on account of the
fact that the proprietor of the theatre
was indebted to them and they wanted
something to insure the collections Of
wages due to them. There was a long
list of articles recovered from the men
and it was declared that some of the
electric fans taken from the theatre
had been shipped to a theatre in Rock
ford. They are now on their way back
to Kenosha. No formal charge was
made against any Of the men. They
declared that they would see to it that
the property was returned to the thea
tire and they were directed to appear
in court on next Wednesday morning

gestion of the district attorneys of
flee after the district attorney had

Teachers Assn. in Session Thursday

The Deming School Parent-Teachers
Association held an interesting meeting

ten room Of the Deming school. The
room was prettily decorated with
japanese lanterns and umbrellas and

opened by children, who, appropriately
costumed, contributed to the program
some Japanese numbers. Children of
the third and fourth grades sang

rem, gave Cherry Blossom" dance.
Both numbers were much appreciated

vic president, Mrs. Leslie Lease; sec
ond vice president, Mrs. Robert Drake;

son gave very interesting report of
the work done at the meetings of the
Congress of Mothers. Mrs. g. N. Trem-
per addressed the meeting briefly, com
mending the association for the work
as outlined and carried out during the
year. The principal feature of the af-
ternoon's program was an interesting
and instructive talk given by DR.. T.
G.. McGrory on "Teeth.' The doctor
emphasized the Importance of giving
very close attention to child Is teeth
from the time of their appearance and
the necessity of regular and careful
brushing. He recommended regular Wis
its to the dentit s office for the purpose
of inspection of the children's teeth
and urged parents to be especially in
terested and watchful in order to pre-
serve the "six year molars,0 often
enormously supposed to be only temp
orary teeth, but which are the first Of
the permanent set and will not be re
placed if neglected and allowed to de-
cay. DR.. McGrory's talk was followed
by an interesting discussion after
which the meeting was adjourned and
refreshments were served by the teach
ers of the school.

SHOWS STATES LOSS.
Vast Amount Of Printed Matter Thrown
Away by State Boards at Madison.

The first concrete analysis of what
the administration is trying to do in
me consolidation and business re-
organization of the various state
boards and commissions is found in the
report OF the special investigating
committee of the legislature.
The report is being prepared in Sec
tions; the first to be released, being
that concerning state printing. In
backing up its estimate that a large
sum can be saved the taxpayers by
the introduction of more businesslike
and efficient methods, the committee
calls attention to report on this sub
Ject by the state board of public af
fairs. In this latter report it was
claimed that the state printing bill
could be reduced at least 100000 a
year. To accomplish this saving, the
investigating committee recommends
the adjustment of the present printing
board and the creation of new board
to consist of the governor, the superin-
tendent of public property and an edi-
tor of public documents. A bill to do
this has been favorably recommended
by an assembly committee.
Concerning the present system, the
report says: "The present printing
board Estate treasurer, the attorney
general and secretary of state) is made
up of men, who as rule have very
little time to carry out the duties i'm
posed upon them. They do the best
they can with the information at hand,
but the work of determining what re-
ports shall be printed, what kind of
papers shall be used, how they shall be
bound, and the number of copies, is a
matter which they necessarily have to
leave to the printing clerk.
cone hundred and thirty tons of
books and phamplets have been sold
within the last few years for onehalf
a cent a pound and there are nearly a
million copies of expensive reports and
books in the capitol basement for
which there is no call or no market at
the present time. There seems to have
been certain amount of rivalry
among the departments as to which one
should issue the handsomest and most
voluminous report and these publica-
tions often contain material of little
or no value to anyone outside the de-
partment concerned. There has been
no particular virtue in the quantity of
printing as such, but what is more i'm
portant as far as the state is concerned,
is that important documents of various
kinds have been delayed in publication
because of the large amount of printing
and because Of the voluminousness of
the reports.
The governor is made member of
the new board so that the people can
hold him responsible in the future for
any e&travagances that may occur.

LUND's BODY RECOVERED.
Remains Of Former Kenosha Telegraph
Operator Washed Up on the Shore.

The mystery surrounding the fate of
Charles Lund, former Kenosha tele-
graph operator, WHO was ON the Lusi-
tania was solved on Wednesday morn
ing When his body was washed up on
the beach along the north of Ireland
and later it was taken to Queenstown
where it was identified by Mrs. Lund.
Wednesday afternoon a cable was re-
eeived at che home of relatives of Mrs.
Lund in Chicago announcing the find
ing of the body and directing that it
be kept in 2 vault until she could re-
turn from England. Tt is thought that
the cable indicates that the body of
Lund viii be shipped to America at
once. No trace has as yet been found
of the body of William Mounsey,
father of Mrs. Lund, who was lost on
the Lusitania. Mrs. Lund will remain
in England for several weeks.

HALF OF SERBIA
is IN ENEMY'S HANDS
Nish Railway in Full Command OF
Invaders knd Heavy Toll Taken
of War Prisoners.

London, Nov. 8.-Tne fall Of NlsA
has united solidly the main Bulgarian
forces and the Austro-German armies
advancing from the north. Hitherto
their communications consisted merely
of tentative reaching out of advance
guards.
THE Bulgarians and their allies now
hold considerably more than half OF
Serbia, and command the Nish railway
one of the chief objectives of their
campaign. From Nish the Bulgarian
line runs north in slight curve, en-
circling the Morava river, to KrIvlr,
wnere it joins the main Austro-German
forces. From that point the invaders
line turns at a right angle and runs
due west cross the broadest part OF
Serbia.
The rough semi-circle made by this
line is contracting and as it does SO,
according to German reports, is TAX
ing a heavy toll of Serbian prisoners.
