lss0tistion vas treated to
,nef The menu was well
well prepared. Among
lures of the entertainment
made by J.. W. Willis of
-.<tfIct federal farm demon
a, Mr.. Willis discussed at length
id the necessity of diversified
II. nd, how to maintain the fertility
of the soil. Mr.. Willis is always in
earnest and does his best in any duty
but on this occasion he was exceedingly
felicitous in what he said and evinced a
knowledge of what he was undertaking
to present that carried conviction to his
hearers.
The day was fortunate one in more
ways than one. Outside of fostering
tne idea of diversified farming, another
good feature was the mingling of
nelghbor with neighbor and the prompt
ing OF spirit of cooperation. When
ever neighborhoods and communities
begin to move in body, to act with
concert in their crop plans and in the
marketing of same, then, and not until
then, will the farmers begin to accom-
plish that which nature has made pos
sible in this great State. The Live
Stock Association IS to be congratulate
ed and SPECIAL thanks are due these two
farmers and their good wives for what
was enjoyed on this day.

.PAUPERs MUST HAVE BATHS
Inspector Walsh Insists That City viii
be Called Upon to Make Better Pro
vision for the Care of Unfortunates
at the City Poor Farm.

Inspector Walsh of the State Board
of Control braved the fury of the March
sto-m this morning and came to Keno
sha for the annual inspection of the
county Jail, the city lookup and the
city poor farm, but he gave up his trip
after seeing the first two institutions
and declared that he would come back
later in the week to inspect the poor
farm.
elf all the counties of the state had
their jails as clean and in as good con-
d:tion as we find the Kenosha county
jail there would be no need of any Wis
its from the state board inspectors, -
said Mr.. Walsh after he had made a
thorough inspection of the building. 1t
was not one of those look and run in
spections such as have been made in
some years. Walsh went into the cellar
and he looked into every cell room and
into everything connected with the jail.
He even fingered for bit of the tramp
room. The whole thing is worthy of
tie most favorable comment he said
when he returned to the jail office.
The city lookup is also in excellent
condition. said Inspector Walsh. 81
like to get into those places early in the
morning and then YOU can see Just how
we'll they are ventilated and how clean
they are kept. The city lookup opened
to me just after seven O'Clock this
morning and it passed muster in every
way. Of course it would be little bet
ter if it were on the ground floor, but it
is all right -
There is some doubt as to whether or
not the city poor farm will get clean
bill when the inspectors visit it later in
the year. fI have been advised that
there are no bath rooms at the poor
house and this is something that should
be remedied at once. Those fellows
should be forced to take baths even if
the keeper is forced to organize kan
CARGO court like we used to have at the
Milwaukee poor farm and have the in
mates forced to bathe That plan
worked excellently in Milwaukee. You
can't make these fellows clean unless
you make them take baths and take
them often. [ don t want to pass judg-
ment on the poor farm before [ see it,
but complaints have been made against
it and our inspection when it is made
later will be most thorough one.
Nov that the city officials have tip
on what is coming it is possible that an
effort will be made to meet this demand
of the state board before it is formally
made.

Republicans In Big Get To-
gether Meeting in Mil
waukee Adopt New Plan.
kENOsHA NOT REPRESENTED

Kenosha County Republicans failed
to send any representatives to the great
gathering of the Republicans of Wis
consin at the Hotel Pfister in Milwau-
kee on Saturday night, but it is de-
clared today that leaders of the party
in Kenosha are fully in accord with the
plans made at the big banquet over
which Governor E. L. Philip presided
as POSTMASTER. Plans were laid for a
complete reorganization of the Repub-
ican party in Wisconsin and the plan
adopted had the unanimous support of
nearly four hundred Republicans. The
plan provides for central committee
in Milwaukee to have charge of the re-
organization and in this reorganization
fractional differences which have di-
vided the party in the past are to be
entirely forgotten. At the dinner on
Saturday night men who had been &C
tive in both Of the old-time factions
shook hands and declared themselves
Republicans. There were members
of the Bull Moose party there, too, and
they asserted their willingness to get
back under the old party banner and
fall back into the old party step and go
out for victory against the Democrats.
It was real old fashioned Republican
love feast. John Hays Hammond, DIR.
John Wesley Hill, both of New York,
and George B. Lockwood, Of Indiana,
were the principal guests at the speak
ers table. Sitting alongside of Govern
or Philip was former Governor F. E.
McGovern.
E. H. Bottum of Milwaukee, who was
in charge Of the preliminary work of
arranging the banquet, declared that
the great attendance had been far
greater than the anticipations of the
men who had suggested the gathering.
The plan proposed for the reorgani-
zation of the party in the state provides
for central headquarters in Milwau-
kee to be in charge of a regular paid
secretary and from this headquarters
work will be started at once for the
campaign in 1916. An effort will be
made to have every Republican county
committee in the state work in harmony
with this organization with the under
standing that a united front is going to
be put up in the national campaign of
1916. The promoters of this organiza-
ton believe that this organization will
be able to place Wisconsin again in the
republican column.

spoke. Mr.. Pond touched on the econo-
mic conditions surrounding passenger
traffic on the railroads and gave an in
teresting but short discourse, illustrat-
ing his talk with timely jokes that took
well with his listeners. Mr.. Pond was
particularly opposed to alleged domino
ton of the railroads by the govern
ment. The mail service without full
compensation troubled him, and he ex-
pressed his views freely on the matter.
Ae resolution had already been drawn.
1t follows in full:
Whereas, Much has been presented
indicating that the present passenger
fares in Wisconsin do not yield suf-
ficient earnings to contribute their due
share to the expense of operation of the
railroads, and it is to the interest of
the people to have the railroads pros
per in order to permit normal expendi-
lures for operation, good service, keep
ing labor employed and money in circu-
lation and maintaining normal consump-
ton, and fairness and good policy are
urged for advancing the rate of passen-
ger fares in Wisconsin to two and one
half cents per mile or such sum as
may be deemed just.
Therefore be it resolved:
That the railroads are clearly en-
titled to full hearing upon the ques-
ticn and to fair and careful consider
alton of the facts and conditions, by
the proper tribunal;
That we hereby request our represen-
tatives in the Wisconsin legislature to
cooperate III affording such a hearing
to the railroads before the legislature,
and that Upon a proper showing by the
railroads that such an increase is rea-
sonable, the statutes be amended to ad-
vance the maximum passenger fare per
mile in Wisconsin to two and one-half
cents per mile, or such sum as may be
deemed just, and that our representa-
tives actively support such appropri-
ate legislation; and
That copy of this resolution be
sent to our representatives and senator.

Sunday, March 21st,


ga Pair of Skies, the sensational
farce hit of New fork and Chicago,
will be the attraction at the Rhode
Opera House, Kenosha on Sunday af-
ternoon and night, March 21st. It is
decidedly American in story, oharac-
tiers and treatment which means that
its fun and humor has the clement OF
spontaneity and is expressed with nm
hesitating swiftness. There are no
pauses-it is just one wild, unrestrain-
ed continuity of fun that is whole
some and full OF keen wit and satire.
employing none of the slapstick
methods and funny falls which one al
most expects as a sine qua non OF
farce, An exception must be made to
the American characters and that is
Goodies, an eccentric English house
maid Goodies is in a class by herself.
She must be seen to be appreciated.
Once seen she win never be forgotten.
The other characters of the comedy, of
which there are twelve, are unusually
strong and demand much from the ac-
tors. So that not only in quantity but
also in quality does one get his money IS
worth in "A Pair of Skies. Watch

The Worlds Greatest Story of Univer-
sal Friendship the Rhode.

Four hundred years before the dawn
ing of the Christian era, the drama of
Damon and Pythiaso was enacted
and has lived and grown down through
all the ages until it is the foremost
theme in the world today upon which
universal peace may be founded. 1t is
this sublime story that is unfolded in
the absorbing and soulful photo drama
of Damon and Pythias.' Spectacu-
lar, stirring, gripping are its scenes
laid in Greece in the pomp and glory of
her greatest day, with its colossal
groupings, classic dances, games, the
thrill of the chariot race, battles upon
sea and land, cities built and cities de-
stroyed, and through all this, with a
dramatic fire and touch Of sentiment
runs the story of human friendship
and its lesson of mans humanity to
man. Never before In the history of
pictured plays have scenes of such
magnifcence and grandeur met the
camera. 1t will be presented at the

First District Congressman
Named For Big Congress
sional Task at Washington
.ACCEOEs TOOEMANDS OF CLARK

Congressman H. A. Cooper of Ra-
cine has been appointed member of
the joint investigating committee which
will examine into financial relations be-
tween the District of Columbia and the
United States treasury, a task which
will keep the veteran Wisconsin legis-
lator out of his district more than was
anticipated.
The appointment to the committee
should be considered compliment, as
Speaker Clark announced in advance
that he intended to appoint the best
men in the house, so that the next con-
gress would have confidence in the find
ings. Representative Cooper's associ-
ates on the joint Investigating commi-
tee will be Senators Chiffon of West
Virginia, Salisbury Of Delaware and
Works of California, together with
Representative Rainey of Illinois, rank
ing democrat on the big ways and
means committee, and Representa-
tive Gard, new member from Oho
Speaker Clark informed Representa-
tive Cooper of his appointment Sunday
night and Cooper declined.
But | insist" the speaker said.
Still Representative Cooper endeavored
to decline, but the speaker told him
that the appointment must stick, as he
wanted republican Of open mind and
one to whom the house looks as lead
er. AS a personal favor to the speaker
Representative Cooper accepted.
The task before Representative Coop
er is the adjustment of differences be-
tween the government of the United
States and the municipal government Of
the District of Columbia The United
States pays half the expenses of the
city of Washington and in the forty
years this arrangement has been in ex-
istence great differences of opinion
have resulted which have split congress
wide open between the conservatives,
who want his policy continued and the
radicals, who want the half and half
plan Of appropriation abolished. Rep
resentative Cooper for years has advo-
Gated such commission Of inquiry, but
never dreamed of being appointed to it.
