MADE A BIG HIT

Sunday afternoon matinee perform
ance of { Widow Brown delightful
comedy tabloid play was given at st.
George hall before large audience of
children. The leading parts were tax
en- by Miss Lauretta LaNey, the well
known Chicago singer who pleased
many Kenosha people last month when
she sang in Hearts on the Hearth -
and by Gene Saftig who sang number
of praiseworthy songs. A really hum
orous comedy sketch between George
Werner and Jake Thomas was appre-
ciated by the large audience of child
rem. The chorus work was very pretty
and also well planned. Mrs. Morrison
who is coaching the play certainly de-
serves all the credit it is possible 30
give her for her admirable work.

KenOsha PostOffice Officials
in Doubt as to Employ
ment Bureau Plans.
BLANKS ARRIVE HERE TODAY

Post Office officials in Kenosha are not
taking any too kindly to the recent plan
of the federal government which has
turned the post Office into an employ
ment bureau for the benefit of the farm
ers, but it is a federal order. Postmas-
ter Baker and the other men in the Of
fee are making an effort to carry out
the order. The post Office department
in cities throughout the nation is to
merge with the Department of Labor of
the federal government in big effort
to bring men and women seeking work
into communication with men who want
to employ labor. This is not to be a
big movement to better labor conditions
in cities, but as usual in such move
ments the farmers are to be the benefi-
Charles. This morning the local post
office received the blanks which are to
be used in the employment bureau
end. There are two sets of the blanks.
One is to be used by the men who are
willing to go out on the farms and work
and the others by farmers who are seek
ing labor. 1t is not made the first of
the duties of the postmaster to fill out
the blanks, but he is expected to keep
them on tap at all times and to see that
when they are filled out they are
promptly returned to the bureau at
Washington.
Local officials of the post Office de-
partment are little in doubt as to Just
how this plan of turning post offices in
to an employment bureau will work out
They are inclined to think that post
office men have enough to do without
hunting jobs for the unemployed, but
this will not prevent their giving the
plan trial in every way possible. I'm
der the ruling people seeking employ
ment may demand one of the blanks
from the rural mail carriers or from the
city carriers and they will be delivered
to him and after they are filed out they
may be sent back to the post office by
the same agent. There is nothing local
in the movement. Men seeking work
in Kenosha may mete the requirements
of men in Minnesota and if such is the
case the department. may find labor for
him in distant state. The movement
is such big one that it is exceedingly
difficult to figure out how it will work
out. We have these blanks on hand, -
said Assistant Postmaster Zens, fand
regardless of our opinion of this mix
ing up of departments the work will be
taken care of by the Kenosha Office to
the best of our ability with a limited
amount of help. We do not expect any
great rush for these blanks, but suf-
ficient number are here to accommodate
the people seking work and those seek
ing TO employ labor. A formal notice
is to be posted showing The workings of
the plan aid this notice will contain all
the information that can be furnished
in regard to it.. -
The blanks are being put into every
post Office in the nation today and it is
thought that the demand for them Will
be largest In the rural Offices.

National Banks Are Order.
ed to Throw ''Red Ink"
Ledgers Into Discard.
BANKS DON'T LIKE NEW RULE

The cred ink ledger" in banks of
Kenosha is to become . thing of the
past and The men and women who have
been accustomed to overdraw their ac-
counts are going to be forced to keep
tn IT checks down to the amount that
tn y have in the banks. The National
Comptroller of the currency at Wash
ington has already sent out a notice
to the national banks to the effect that
overdrafts on accounts will no longer
be countenanced and the state banking
commissioner is expected to send out a
similar notice within the next few days.
Local financial leaders refused to discuss
the new order this morning. Charles
=. Brown, president of the First Nation
al Bank, declared that the new order
has caused a great stir among bankers
and that some of them were inclined to
be indignant on account Of the manner
II which it tied the hands of the banks,
but President Brown declined to give
any opinion until after the matter was
taken up with the board of directors at
its next meeting.
The commissioner of banking in Wis
consin has not as yet demanded the
same rule for the handling of the mon
les of state banks, but it is expected
that such ruling will follow within
the next few days. The plan will force
a lot of people in Kenosha to turn over
a new leaf and live within their in
comes. There is no doubt but that bank
ers consider the new order from Wash
ington as an unwarrantable regulation
of their business and it is not improb-
able that there will be many objections
filed. The order is supposed to be in
force at the present time and the word
ing of the letter is pretty plain. The
letter received in Kenosha is as follows:
EThe granting of some banks of ac-
commodations in the form Of overdrafts
is Objectionable and cannot be counte-
nanced by this Office.
This practice should cease entirely.
To facilitate the accomplishment of this
result, the subject has been taken up by
this Office with the banking depart
ments of various states, and these au-
thorities have generally agreed to take
the necessary action to secure the eff
fective cooperation of state banks in
attaining the end desired.
you are requested to adopt a resolu-
ton directing that no officer or employee
of your bank shall pay or charge to the
account of any depositor any check Of
such deposition when there are not suf-
fcient funds to the credit of the drawer
of the check to meet the same.
"Please forward a certified copy of
the resolution to this office as soon as it
has been adopted. Let the resolution
show the names of the directors present
at the meeting.
"Please acknowledge receipt with
out delay.
Respectfully,
Jno. SHELTON Williams,
Comptroller.

NO SECOND CHOICE FOR JUDGE
Legislature May Pass Law Repeating
the Second Choice Law as Relating to
Primary Before the Time for Print
ing of Primary Ballots.

Kenosha people are going back to the
use of the voting machine at the COM
ing municipal and judicial election as
notice has been sent to the officials that
it will not be necessary to provide for
second choice vote for the office of
Justice of the Supreme Court and this
will make the use of paper ballots at
the election unnecessary. The state
legislature has passed law doing away
with second choice voting for judicial
positions and for United States senator.
Some Of the men who make a speciality
Of politics would just a little rather
have paper ballots, but the great rank
and file Of voters in Kenosha have been
educated up to the machine voting and
they like it,
The law that has been passed only
partially does away with the MARY
Ann" provisions Of the law, but it is
said that there are other bills on the
way which will do away with second
choice in nominations. There is CON
siderable doubt as to whether or mot
this bill will be acted on by the legis-
latre before the spring primaries are
held. IF it is not, the Mary Ann provi-
sion will apply to the primaries in Ke-
.posha this year.
1t is certain that there will be a
bunch of candidates for aldermen in
several wards of the city and unless
the state legislature comes to the rescue
before the Goth of March the second
choice law will be in effect at this pri-
mary. The city officials all over the
state are urging the members of the
legislature to get the fight on the sec
ond choice law over early. If the law
is to be repealed lot of money can be
saved and lot of tim1 of election of
1icials can be saved by getting the re-
peal bill passed before the coming pri-
mary. Tt is probable that the clerks
of the cities will delay the printing Of
ballots until late in the campaign in
order to wait on the action of the leg
islature. There is no sentiment in Ke-
nosha in favor of the second choice pro-
vision and outside of the ranks of a
few highly progressive" republicans
there is no sentiment in favor of the
law anywhere in the state The sec
ond choice provision in regard to the
nomination of school commissioners in
Milwaukee has already been repealed
by the legislature.
The repeal Of this law will save the
cities considerable money as the hours
to be put in by election officials will
be considerably shorter than under the
plan of second choice nominations.
Without the second choice provision the
primary vote can be counted in much
less time and with the machines less
than half the time demanded in the
counting of the vote will required
1t is certain that if the election Off
Gals were to have chance to express
themselves on the repeal of the second
choice provision that they would be
unanimous in their demand for its i'm
mediate repeal.

GOES UP TWO POINTS IN LIST
Population of Kenosha is Estimated as
29,062 July 1, 1914, Boosters Claim
That the City Has Passed the $4,000
Mark BY This Time.

The United States census bureau at
officials Of the city of Kenosha some
information in regard to the estimated
population of Wisconsin cities and this
shows that Kenosha is now entitled to
rank as the seventh city in Wisconsin
The estimate of population is made
by the government officials 70 cover
population on July /, 1914. The last
estimate was made in 1918 and at that
time Kenosha was rated as the ninth
city Of the state in population. In the
year it had advanced beyond both
Sheboygan and Green Bay, the two cit
les which formerly led. The report is
decidedly interesting to Kenosha people
as it shows that regardless Of the fact
that there have not been real prosperous
times in Kenosha the population has
been growing.
The census bureau bases its estimate
on observations made by employees Of
the bureau and from school census re-
ports and other data that can be col
lected
The bureau from now on will give out
annual estimates of census for all cities
of more than 5000 population.
In 1910, when the formal national
census was made Kenosha was given a
population Of 21,371. In 1911 it was
placed at 22,551; In 1912, 1873; in
1919, 25,050; in 1900, the census figures
for Kenosha were 11,606.
The steady growth of Kenosha has
been greater in proportion than that of
any city in Wisconsin. With the same
ratio Kenosha can claim to have passed
the 10000 mark at this time and it is
pretty certain that when the census
bureau issues the figures of July l, 1915,
it will show Kenosha has in excess of
10000. The city is now on the trail
of the state capital, Madison, and Ke-
nosha boosters feel certain that Madi-
son will be seventh and Kenosha sixth
when the next figures are given out
The population Of the larger cities of
the stete is shown to be as follows:

in Kenosha on Sunday the foreign pur-
chasing agents saw some interesting
tests of the Jeffrey Quad, large mum
Der of which were recently sold for use
in the French army. 1t is probable
that the foreign purchasing agents will
return to Kenosha day before return
