WORK IN THE COUNTY.
Associated Charities Investigates Con
dition of Twin Lakes Family.

Officials of the Kenosha Associated
Charities went out to Twin Lakes on
Wednesday Afternoon and made an in
vestigation of conditions surrounding
the home life of eight Polish children
and this morning acting on the report
of the secretary of the Association
District Attorney A. L. Drury, caused
warrants to be issued for the arrest Of
the mother. It is expected that these
warrants will bring before the court
the conditions surrounding the eight
minor children and it is expected that
later some provision will be made to
have the children sent to one Of the
state institutions. Several complaints
have been made of the treatment of
the children and it is expected that the
district attorney and the town officers
will make the fullest possible investi-
cation into these reports.

The direct taxes raised by the state
In 1914-15 amounted to $5,272,363.
The increase can be laid to normal
growth. Just what the governor viii
do about the remission of general taxes
is to be seen. The constitutional
officers, the governor, secretary of
state, and state treasurer, can agree on
the amount of money that will be need
ed and remit the balance of any cut
recommended. This amount is deter
mined by the amount of the legislative
appropriations and an estimate on the
future condition of the state treasury.
1t is pretty well agreed that the gov
ernor will remit to the bone in order
to make showing on his tax reduction
pledges. This policy from a stand
point of permanent good for the tax
papers, is attended with grave danger,
as evidenced by the 100000 remis-
sion made by Governor McGovern in
1913-14, a cut that had to be put on
the tax rolls later.

sTAHL BROTHERS BUY A FARM
Hernshein Farm Near the State Line
Purchased by Two Brothers Friday

B. F. Stahl Of this city, with his
brother, T. J. Stahl of Waukegan, on
Friday closed the purchase of one of
the finest farms in southern Wisconsin
just mile and half from the Illinois
state line.
For $4,000 they purchased the DR..
Hernshein farm Of 227 acres, farm
that has a double set of buildings,
about fifty head of fine Holstein cows
and some fine stock of horses.
It is known as the Seven Oaks farm
and is regarded as one of the finest in
the state.
The residence on the place is equip
ped with all modern conveniences, in
Guiding even refrigerator system.
Everything else is in proportion in the
matter of completeness.
The sale was contaminated without
much f'noise," in fact, the purchase
Of the Stahls is considered quite coup
as the farm is one which many rich
men Of the state had their eyes on for
long time, but none knew it could be
bought.

ranged to enlarge the municipal links
and some time we will have to
have two sets of courses to accommo-

The Kenosha delegation saw lot
Of other things that Racine is doing.
How much does this all cost the
city, was the pertinent question that
was put up to Superintendent Nelson
Well we are getting away with all
the outside work this year for $4,000
and we are not having to skimp any
either was the reply. The Kenosha
bunch were convinced when they came
back late in the evening that Racine
was again pointing the way for Keno
sha. Racine surely has solved the
problem of keeping the children and
the old children happy at a minimum
of expense.

CUTS OFF MOTORCYCLES.
Rural Mail Carriers Must Get Autos or
Use ssOld Dobbin. -

Postmaster R. V. Baker this morn
ing received from the postmaster gen
eral new order relating to convey
ances to. be used by rural mail carriers
and after the first Of the year motor
cycles will be under the ban. The de-
partment holds that motorcycle does
not give chance for a proper protec-
tion Of mail matter and for this reason
the use of them is prohibited after
the first Of the year. One of the Keno
sha rural carriers will be hit by the
order For years he has used motor
cycle to cover part of his route. He
plans to put an automobile into the
same service. The rule also prohibits
the use of BICYCLES by the rural mail
carriers. It is said that the develop
ment of the parcel post system has been
largely responsible for the elimination
of the motorcycle and the bike.

ELIMINATE PARADE THIS YEAR
Big Picnic Is to Be Held at schend's
Park and the Program Will Have
Many Interesting Features. - Sports
and Games Being Arranged.

Members of the Trades and Labor
Council are making annual preparations
Tor the observance of Labor day in Ke-
nosha and the day is to be celebrated
with great picnic of the laboring men
of the city to be held at Schend s park.
For the first time in years Kenosha will
not have a Labor day parade. The
union men of the city of Kenosha are
decidedly loyal to organized labor but
they do not care to march. For years
efforts to have the big parades of the
early days of organized labor have not
met with the success expected and the
committee this year has decided to elm
mate this feature Of the celebration
The fact that there will be no parade
is not going in any way to interfere
with the observance Of the day in Keno
sha. 1t is expected that every body of
organized labor in the city will take
part in the celebration of the day and
reunions of the members of the various
unions are to be held at the park. The
program is as yet incomplete but it is
planned to have a lot of sport. There
will be music at the park from early
morning until late in the night and
dancing will be one of the features. In
addition there is to be program of
vocal music furnished by quartette.
The usual program of sports and games
will be provided and handsome prizes
will be offered to the competitors in
these games. There will be contest
for the most popular young lady of the
city and the prize will to be handsome
diamond ring. Union men of the city
are now voting to select the young lady
who is to receive this prize.
It is expected that a number of the
prominent labor leaders of the state
will be in Kenosha for the day and ar
rangements will be made to have some
short talks in which the big questions
now of interest to the laboring men
will be discussed.
Members of unions in surrounding
cities where no formal celebration Of
the day is held will be invited to come
to Kenosha and participate in the Keno
sha celebration.
Chairman Weiss in charge of the COM
mittee Of the Trades and Labor Council
expects to make public the detailed pro-
gram for the celebration the early part
of next week. All people of the city
will be urged to join with the members
of the unions in the observance of the
day and as in other years all business
in the city will be suspended for the
celebration.

The Passengers Aboard Arabic

II am safe; managed to escape the
dreadful fate Of others aboard; will
start for home as soon as possible
Morton. -
The above message was received in
Zion City this morning from Alex Nor
ton, a. designer at the Marshall Field
lace works and tells in brief that he
was among those who escaped from
the liner Arabic, which was torpe-
decd and sunk by German submarine.
Morton had been away from the Zion
City lace works just 80 days on his
vacation spent in London and other
English cities, with relatives. He is a
British subject and has worked for
some time in the lace works at Zion.
His home is in Zion City and when his
friends heard of the torpedoing of the
liner, they felt that he might be a vie
tim Therefore the receipt of the mes
sage relieved their minds.
Morton, according to some reports,
was classed as an American, but this is
not the fact--he never took out his
papers.

GIVE sANAToRIUM CLEAN BILL
County Officials Find no Grounds for
Complaints Against Racine Institute.

County Judge George w. Taylor and
County Clerk Russell H. Jones went
to Racine on Thursday to investigate
complaints which have been made
against the management of Sunny
Rest Sanatorium for the treatment of
tubercular patients. 1t was alleged
that the water supply at the institu-
ton had failed and that the four
patients from this county had suffer
ed hardships on this account. cit is
true that there has been a lot of trou-
BILE with the water plant there" said
County Clerk Jones this morning.
"But conditions are now greatly i'm
proved. We found that the pumps used
for handling the water supply had been
out Of order for several days, but the
officials in charge of the sanatorium
had made every effort to have them
repaired and patients had been furnish
ed with water In the best possible man
ner. There was no lack of care on the
part of the officials. We talked with
the Kenosha county patients and they
appeared to be entirely satisfied with
conditions at the institution. The dis
abled pumps are now in perfect work
ing condition

SUES IN CHICAGO.
Woman Claims She Was Dragged
When Ceremony Took Place.

In suit for annulment of her
marriage to Harry Ley, Mrs. Edith
Smith, formerly Of Kenosha, in the
courts of Chicago, charges that she
lost both her love and her bank roll.
Ten years ago she was happy, Mrs.
Smith averred. Though deserted by
her husband, Edward Smith, $1,000
bank account which she had saved by
arduous toll in Kenosha amply filed
his place. Then one day, Ley, nattily
dressed, dropped off train from Chi
eago On the day that Ley dropped
off Mrs. Smith was among those pres
ent. Ley smiled at her, she says, and
because Of his handsome appearance =
she smiled back. They met, SO the bill
continues, and through his clever line
of questioning she finally con6ded to
him that she had money in the bank.
From then on, Mrs. Smith declares, the
Chicago visitor paid her ardent court
and finally induced her to go to Chi.
cago with him. She says she protested
she could not marry him because she
had not been divorced, but he drugged
her and when she revived showed hei
marriage certificate as proof that
they had been married, asserted Mrs
Smith. "You are a bigamist now,
Mrs Smith says Ley informed her

SUGAR PLANTS REOPEN.
Most Growers in This Section Have
Contracts at $500 a Ton for Crops.

Most Growers in This Section Have
Contracts at $500 a Ton for Crops.
Tt is conceded that the acreage Of
sugar beets growing in Racine and
Kenosha counties will fall below that
of last year, but the quality of the
beets is much better, according to in
formation received from Somers and
other districts where the largest
amount is grown. Last winter meet
ing OF the growers was held at Corliss,
at which representatives of sugar beet
factories were present. At that ses-
sion the prices to be paid for the beets
grown were discussed at great length,
the farmers claiming that in years
gone by they had not been treated
fairly by some of the sugar beet COM
panies and they wanted a price fixed
upon which they could depend. After
much discussion the beet company
representatives agreed to pay six dol
lars per ton and signed such an agree
ment. Since that time they have been
contracting with the farmers Tor their
crops. Growing of beets on a large
scale in Racine and Kenosha counties
gives employment to several hundred
people number of months in the year.
Every farmer in Racine and Kenosha
counties will be greatly interested in a
dispatch received from Madison,
which says: 1'The plant of the United
States Sugar Company here, manufact-
uring beet sugar, will renew operations
October /. Over thirty-fve hundred
acres Of beets were contracted for.
The GAINESVILLE factory is also said to
be planning to reopen. The plant at
Menomonee Falls will employ about
four hundred men. The revival Of the
beet sugar industry Is said to be due
in part to the changed conditions
brought about by the European war,
resulting in a greatly increased price
for sugar. Many of the contracts
made with farmers this year were op-
tional, the beets being paid for in di-
rect ratio with the market price Of
sugar"

SHOWS BIG INCREASE.
School Census Will Show Many More
Children of School Age in the City.


The school census, which is now rap
idly nearing completion is going to
show very large increase in the num-
Der of children Of school age in the city.
In fact the total is going to be much
greater than has ever been reported in
Kenosha. Every ward in the city will
show an increase in the number of
school children. In some of the wards
there has been large addition of ter
ritory since the taking Of the last cen
sus and in these wards the increase is
very large. However, in the first ward
there are more children of school age
than ever before. The figures on the
census will not be available for an
other fortnight. Interest is shown in
the big increase in the scohol census on
account of the fact that this gives an
assurance of an increase in the amount
that the Kenosha schools will receive
from the state school fund. It is ex-
pected that the school census will show
that the population of the city has
passed the thirty thousand mark.

COMMITTEE TO HAVE CHARGE
Towns May Reduce Expenditures for
Roads Following the Action Of the
State Cities Interested in Compile
ton Of Lake Shore Road.

Kenosha county will receive 1858
from the state road fund in 1916.
County Clerk Russell III. Jones this
morning received formal announcement
from the state highway commission
that this amount would be appropriate
ed to this county from the state aid
highway fund of $8S5,000 recently ap-
propriated by the legislature. The
amount is considerably less than had
been expected from the state and it is
probable that the reduction Of the state
appropriation viii have the effect of
curtailing much work that was planned
for the coming year. With this appro-
priation it will be- impossible to meet
the appropriations expected from the
various towns and the county. In
stead of getting three thousand dol
lars worth Of work for each thousand
raised in the towns there will be but
twenty-five hundred dollars. Under
the reduced appropriation there will
be little chance for a second division
of road funds in 1916 as it is expected
that all counties in the state will
claim the full amount of money al
loted to them. The road problem will
be one Of the big problems to be
solved by the county board at the
November session.
Considerable work has been planned
for the coming year and in some Of
the towns the work will be carried
through regardless Of the appropria-
tions made from the state highway
fund. 1t is just possible that the work
on the Sheridan Road will be reduced
as result and it is also possible that
no further work will be done on the
Lake Shore road in Somers until 1917
Officials in Kenosha and Racine have
both been watching with interest the
concreting of the road between the
two cities. There is just one thing
that interests the city officials partic-
ularly and that is the possibilities that
such road would have in increasing
fire protection for the two cities.
With automobile equipment in both of
the cities and a concrete road which
would make possible a trip by fire en-
gines in less than half an hour it
is declared that the two cities may be
mutually helpful and that in case of
any big fire it would be pretty nearly
as easy to get Racine fire engines
to the fire as it would to get Kenosha
equipment.
This fact is counted on to aid ma
terially in securing city support for
the completion of the north shore road.
With the meeting of the county
board the county will be under the new
county unit road law and it is expect
ed that this law will prove more sat
isfactory and under it more road work
will be done. Many of the Kenosha
county supervisors have objected siren
uously to the interference Of the state
highway commission and all chances
of such interference are removed un-
der the new law. At the meeting of
the board it will be necessary to name
highway committee which will have
charge of the road work.

GOLD MEDAL FOR HOSIERY.
Kenosha Product Given High Rank at
panama California Exposition.

The Chieago-Kenosha Hosiery Com
pany of this city, has been awarded
gold medal by the officials of the
Panama California Exposition at San
Diego for excellency. of their product.
The medal is mark of high honor for
the products of the Kenosha factory
as definite scale was used In judging
all exhibits. One hundred was named
as the perfect score for exhibits and
gold medals were awarded to such
products are were scored between one
hundred and eighty. The exhibit of
the Kenosha company at the exposition
while not the largest by any means,
proved an attractive one and it
brought much favorable comment to
the city.

EXPECT TWO HUNDRED TO GO
Plans Are Made to Visit Every Gross
Roads in the County and Orators
Among Merchants Will Have Chance
to Make Speeches Everywhere.

September 23rd has been set as the
date for the End annual Booster Trip
of Kenosha business men through
Kenosha county, and the committee of
the Retailers Association, who will
have charge, are making arrange
ments to accommodate at least two
hundred men. Merchants and profess
sional men who have automobiles, are
being asked to give the use of their
ears for the trip, and already twenty
five have volunteered.
The committee wish it understood
that any business man in the city is in
vited and entitled to full accommoda-
tions provided the necessary arrange
ments are made with the committee
before hand. A charge of $500 per
man will be made the same as last year.
to help defray the expense of adver-
tising through the county, the dinner,
band, etc. This $500 barely covers the
actual expense.
In addition to the band concerts and
speeches to be given at each stop en-
route, the committee will provide for
additional entertainment and amuse-
ments this year, so that there shouldn t.
be one dull moment throughout the en-
tire seventy five mile run.
Tickets for the trip will be placed ON
sale within few days at the follow
ing places: Kradwell Drug Co., Chas.
Pfennig Co., Donley Bros, Hermann's
Grocery, COS Milwaukee avenue, and at
the Retailers Association Office.
While the route for the trip has not
as yet been formally arranged it is
planned to include in it every place of
interest in the county. The people liv-
ing in the smaller towns in the county
are looking forward to the day with
great deal of interest and already town
boards and leaders of the mercantile
life of the villages are planning to add
their share to make the day a success.
There is no feeling of rivalry among
the people of the villages and they
expect the Booster day to be made one
great Kenosha county picnic.
The committee in charge of the pur-
chase of the souvenirs to be used this
year are searching all over the country
in an effort to get something that will
be of greatest use to the people in the
outlying portions of the county and
something that will be constant re-
minder of the friendly relations which
have been developed between the city
and the county. 1t is certain that
many of the business men of the city
will have souvenirs Of their own this
year and the giving out of these SOU
venirs will add interest to The trip.
The speeches delivered at the various
points along the right-of-way proved
a real feature of the Booster trip last
year and it is planned to have this
feature extended and some Kenosha
business man will be expected to make
a speech at every crossroads in the
county this year. The trip will be ex-
tensively advertised for several weeks
before the automobiles leave the city
so that every one in the county will
know that Kenosha is coming to ex-
tend the "glad hand"

Work on Sanatorium Rushed and Con-
tractors See Early Completion.
Willow Brook Sanatorium, the Ke-
nosha county institution for the treat
ment of tubercular patients, may be
dedicated on Thanksgiving day. The
big building is under roof and Con-
tractor Windorf is hurrying things in
hopes that he will be able to turn the
building over to the county board at
the November session. The plumbing
work will be completed this week and
on Monday morning the electricians
viii start work. The tile for the roof
will be here on Monday. The first
roof has been put on SO that there is
no longert any chance of delay in the
interior work. Carpenters are now
busy ands within a fortnight the new
building will be plastered and ready
for the fnishers. The work has gone
forward decidedly rapidly considering
the long rainy season. Chairman Il.
r. Grosvenor of the committee, has al
ready begun to make plans for the
dedication of the new building. It is
certain that it will be Kenosha
county's Christmas present. just as
soon as the building is ready patients
from this county now in other county
institutions will be transferred to
Willow Brook. It is pretty certain
that there will be half dozen
patients registered on the opening day.
