MANY PROMISE TO TAKE SPACE.
Farmers Of the County Will Bring Dis
plays of Farm Products and Local
Manufacturers Are Expected to Show
Products of the Kenosha Factories.

Made in Kenosha County, is to be
the slogan of great Kenosha county
exhibit which has been planned to be
held at the Coliseum on March IL, II
and l3, during the big institute round
up in Kenosha and this feature prom
ises to be the biggest feature ever ar
ranged by the Retailers Association
of Kenosha. The exhibit is going to
include farm products, farm machinery
and dealers exhibits of all kinds and
manufacturers and retailers in Keno
sha are entering into the spirit of the
affair with an enthusiasm which guar
antees it's success. 1t is going to be
the first HMade in Kenosha County,
exhibit ever held and there is no doubt
but that after the first one it will be-
come an annual affair. Many Of the
most prominent men of Kenosha are
taking an interest in the plans for this
exhibit and it is going to be worthy
of the entire county.
The Retailers Association will offer
splendid prizes for the best display of
farm products. State officials will do
the judging. Already a fifty dollar
milk cooling plant has been contributed
for the exhibit prizes and many other
people have signifed their intention
of giving prizes.
The committee in charge is now
studying out the plans for. the big ex-
hibit and these will be i announced
early in February. The booths will
not be open to manufacturers or deal
ers outside of Kenosha county and the
display of grains and other farm pro-
ducts will come entirely from the farms
Of Kenosha county. There has already
been requests from other counties for
space for exhibits, but all of these re-
quests have been turned down and peo-
pie have been given 20 understand
that Kenosha county is going to be sell
fish in this matter and that the exhibit
is for and limited to the people of
Kenosha county.
There will be spaces for dealer s ex-
hibits, which will include farm machin-
cry, automobiles, and exhibits of other
dealers who handle materials that ap-
peal to the farmer. Also a space will
be provided for any local ,manufactur-
ers who would care to exhibit.
Special features will be offered in
connection with this show These will
be announced later. It is planned to
have the exhibition open day and sew
eral hours into the evening, so that the
city people can take advantage of it.
A special committee will be in
charge of the exhibits. AS soon as the
Coliseum is properly charted, this com
mittee will arrange with any dealers
for space.
Nothing similar TO this was ever held
in Kenosha county. At the meeting of
the institute committee held yesterday
the county members were very enthu-
siastic over the plans, and with their
boosting of it through the county, there
IS no question but the exhibit will be
a grand success. Of course, the ex-
hlbits of farm products is under the
cultural college, and it will be neces-
culture college, and it will be neces-
sary for the committee to endeavor to
make this part of the show the lead
ing feature.

NO DESCRIPTION FOR POLICE
Man Assaulted Miss Hale as She Was
Passing Through Vacant Lot and
Ran Away with Purse Containing SIT
in Money and Other Valuables.

Miss Inez Hale, well known employee
of the office of the Chicago-Kenosha
Hosiery Company, was the victim of a
daring holdup man on Friday night
when she was accosted by a robber
while going from the offices of the
company to her home on Charles street
and robbed of her purse containing
seventeen dollars N money and other
valuables. The robbery was not re-
ported to the police until late this
morning and up to this time no trace
of the man has been found. Miss
Hale labored under considerable ex-
element after the robbery and while
she told her relatives of the occurrence
she did not make any report to the
police department.
Miss Hale declared this morning
when questioned by Chief O'Hare that
she did not think that the matter was
worthy of bothering the police as the
amount that the robber had secured
was small. It is evident. that the man
had carefully planned the robbery.
Friday was pay day at the hosiery
works and the young ladies employed
In the offices are accustomed to leave
a few minutes before six clock when
the general force Of the factory is let
out. Miss Hale had drawn her money
and had slipped it into chain purse
and started for her home only short
distance from the big factory. She
walked along Edward street not no.
ticlng that any one was following her
and when she was q short distance
she started to "cut across" vacant
lot She had taken ,cut few steps
when man stepped up behind her and
caught hold of her. Without a word
the fellow snatched her purse from her
hand and darted away In the gather
ing darkness and snow storm. Miss
Hale had no chance to see the man or
to get any description Ct him. She
hurried to her home and efforts were
made to find some trace Of the man,
but nothing was found. The fellow
had evidently carefully planned the
robbery as Miss Hale had been accus-
toned to go to her home by practically
the same route every night.
A few minutes later scores of young
women who were employed at the big
stocking making plant went over the
same route which lad been followed by
Miss Hale, but they saw no one who
attempted to modest them.
Miss Hale in response to the requests
of the chief of police for descriptions
of her assailant declared that she could
give absolutely no clew to the identity
of the man, but she knew that it was
man who had held her up.
For some time number of SUSPECT
Gus characters had been seen in the
neighborhood of the hosiery works and
it is claimed that several of the young
women employed there had been fear
fu4 that they might be held up and
their wages taken, but the assault on
Miss Hale is the first report of this
kind to reach the police department.

There may be feeling about the
state that the expenditures under the
state aid highway law have been ex-
cessive, but there is no feeling that
road improvement should be abandoned
altogether and any proposal to repeal
the present highway Law should provide
some substitute under which road i'm
provement can go forward at more
moderate pace.

SMALLPOX CASES PUZZLE.
DR.. Hoyt of State Board Admits Wide
Difference of Opinion rs to Disease


That there is wide difference of
opinion among physicians as to whether
the disease now quarantined in Wis
consin cities is really smallpox, was
admitted by DR.. Hoyt of the stare
board of health today. All he can say
is that well defined eases of smallpox
have repeatedly developed from these
doubtful cases and that seems to him to
be a good reason to believe that the
light attacks are malIpox. DR.. Hovt
had conference with DR.. Stevens of
Bristol this morning over the condi.
tons at that village and he reported
that there were two new cases of the
disease there. He seemed to be en-.
tirely satisfied with the manner in
which al guarantees in Kenosha
county are being maintained.
