NEWSPAPERS AID AGRICULTURE

Without the support OF hundreds
of progressive newspapers we would
have been from five to ten years
slower in agricultural progress in
South Dakota as well as in the entire
nation. Time was when the only
farm news printed in newspapers con-
sisted of crop reports, effects or
blight or pests, and features of ore
than usual interest. A few years ago,
however, college propaganda was
seized upon as good news stuff
good news because subscribers
wanted IL.
In this progressive age. weekly and
daily papers print columns upon
columns of farm news, which Is
news not because it chronicles events,
but because 1t suggests sane methods
of profitable and permanent farm
ing methods. Our agricultural pro-
fessors are called upon almost daily

HUNTERS TO SHOOT CHICKENS
Open Season Announced for Chicken
and Grouse.

Local sportsmen are much interested
in the statement that the state conser-

that it had received large number of
inquiries from hunters regarding the
right to shoot prairie chickens and
grouse in different counties in the state
and especially from residents of num-
Der of counties where it is unlawful
to take sush birds at any time during
the year. Under the new law it is un
lawful to shoot prairie chickens and
grouse at any time in the counties of
Milwaukee, Waukesha, Dane, Calumet,
Door, Forest, Iron, Kenosha, Lacrosse,
Langlade, Lincoln, Manitowoc, Oneida,
Ozaukee, Price, Racine, Sank, Sheboy-
gan, Taylor, Trempealeau, Villas, Wal
worth, Washington and Winnebago. In
other counties the open season is from

ELKs HEAR REPORTS.
Past Exalted Ruler r. K. Dorr Gives
Account of Grand Lodge Session.

Roy X. Dorr, Past Exalted Ruler of
the Kenosha lodge of Elks, who repre-
sented the lodge at the recent Grand
Lodge sessions at Los Angeles gave a
large number Of the members of the
order an interesting report of the ses-
sion at meeting held on Thursday ev-
ening. Featured in the report was a
discussion Of changes made in the con-
stitution of the order. The most i'm
portant change was one requiring a
medical examination of candidates for
admittance to the order in the future.
This provision was adopted by the
Grand Lodge and it will become effec-
tive after it has been adopted by the
subordinate lodges. Mr.. Dorr also gave
very interesting talk on the Elks Ma
tional Home and the new system ar
ranged for. the government of the home
under the commission named by the
Grand Lodge. His report showed that
Kenosha was named as one of the lead
ing lodges Of Wisconsin for the year
Just passed.

STATE DELAYS COUNTY.
Copies of Important New Statutes Fail
to Arrive from Secretary of State.


The fact that clerks in the office Of
the secretary of state are slow in get
ting out copies Of important laws
passed at the session of the legislature
has held up the work Of officials Of
the county. A copy Of every bill en-
acted into law is supposed to be sent
to the county clerk following its APP
proval by the governor, but as yet the
clerk has not received copies of the
iitney bill, the county school commit
tee bill or the new highway bill. All
Of these laws are eagerly sought by
Kenosha people, but no copies Of them
have been received in the city. The
laws were approved and published
some time ago, but evidently there is
so much work on the shoulders of the
secretary Of state that he has been un-
able to supply the county clerks with
copies. The chairman of the county
board is ready to name new school
committee, but he has been waiting
for a copy of the law before making
the appointments. 1t is probable
that the appointments will be made
on Saturday even though no copy Of
the law reaches Kenosha.

before midnight Saturday night. In
speetor Strom of the department., who
had come to Kenosha to make the in
spection of the office, completed his
work just about this time after having
been busy all Saturday afternoon.
The new postmaster was little sleepy
at the time and his first act in Office
was to lock the front door and hurry
home to bed. This morning he was on
the job early and between visits from
his friends he found time to order a
complete renovation of the building in
side and out. The terra Gotta of the
building was being cleaned today and
it is evident that the "neW broom 4
is going to sweep clean. Just clean
ing up a little, ;" was the good morning
message of the new postmaster
Everything is going fine, !" he re-
Joined "and we are breaking in just
as fast as possible The coming of
the new postmaster brought no changes
at the office. Mr.. German plans to give
all of his time to the management Of

SCHOOL
BOUNDARY


First, let it be understood that the
annexation of territory to city in Wis
consin does not change the school dis
trict to which that territory belongs
School district lines can be changed
only by legal procedure which can
be found out by consulting the city at
torney.
This legal procedure has been COM
piled with by the residents of most of the
territory recently annexed to Kenosha.
People living on the north side of Selma
Avenue, are in the school district of
Kenosha.
Children in this territory who are in
Fourth A grade or above, can go to
the Durkee school if they live east Of
Pleasant street, and to the Columbus,
if they live west of Pleasant street.
Younger children will be accommodated
in the Deming school, which takes care
of all grades to 4th B, inclusive. The
boundary of the Deming district is
north, Pomeroy St.; east, Fremont Az
enue; south, Selma Avenue; and west,
Rowland Avenue.
The territory to the west of the CO.
lumbus school to the Ratigan Road on
the west, and to the railroad tracks on
the north has been joined to the school
district of Kenosha The triangle north
of the railroad tracks, bounded north
by Prairie Avenue, and west by Rati-
gan Road, and the tract north of Prairie
Avenue, and bounded east by the Balm
Drive, has not yet been joined to the
school district. Children in these two
sections belong to the Harmon school
district
just as far as it is possible to do so
the Kenosha schools will take care of
the children in the newly adjoined terri
tory.
Many inquiries are coming to the
office of the superintendent about the
city s paying tuition in the Lamb school
and the Harmon school for children liv-
ing in the Kenosha school district. No
arrangement to that effect has been
made by the Kenosha School
Board. There will be time for that
when it has been demonstrated that the
Kenosha schools cannot take care of
those who apply. BY Wednesday next,
the day after school opens, we shall
Fnow what is best to be done.
This will be a year of unusual incon-
venience, which must last and be en-
dured until the Lincoln school is opened,
which will not be before September,
1916
Parents may rest assured that ques-
tions Of school attendance will be adj
justed by the superintendent as soon as
possible. If you cannot make out from
this notice where to send your children
call up the Superintendent IS Office.

clared that the booths would be re-
moved at once.
