SALVATION ARMY ADOPTS GIRL
Local Commander and Wife Take Child
of Ten to Care for Her Till Her
Mother is Cured of Illness.

There is one little girl in Kenosha
that is happily grateful for the exist
ence of the Salvation Army.
She is but ten years old and is ex-
tremely pretty and prepossessing in ap-
pearance. But her life so far has not
been a happy one for her mother is
afflicted with tuberculosis and just now
has gone to the tuberculosis sanatorium
for the third time. Twice before she
went but was so overcome with worry
regarding the little daughter she had
left at home that she could not be per-
suaded to remain, sick as she was, and
because she worried her treatment fail
ed to help her as it otherwise would.
Now she is in more peaceful frame
of mind, for before she went away she
gave over the care of her child to Ad-
jutant and Mrs. Richard Martin of the
Salvation Army, who have fitted out
the little girl with proper clothing and
sent her to school, and are acting tenn
porarily as her guardians
The child is happy and proud Of hav-
ing a home of her own where she is
given good food and where she is fur
nished good clothing that enables her
to appear as other children do. The
mother rests in peace, taking advantage
of the comforts that surround her and
because of her freedom from worry is
more amenable to the treatment which
she is receiving and which it is to be
hoped may soon restore her to her home,
well woman.

HAS TIGHT SQUEEZE.
final Financial Report of Chautauqua
Shows Balance of Less Than Two
Dollars in Treasury.

W
The men and women who guaranteed
the Lincoln Chautauqua this year will
not be invited to pay any money to
make up a deficit as in the former year
for the financial report which has been
prepared by Mrs. Mary D. Bradford
shows that the Chautauqua broke a
little better than even. In fact there
is the magnificent sum of two dollars
in the treasury to start out as a guar
antee Of the next Chautauqua. The to-
tai receipts for the Chautauqua this
year including tickets sold at the door
was $1,470.55 and against this was ex-
penses during the Chautauqua Of
81, 467.36. A portion of the balance of
1919 has been used in mailing the
guarantors a full statement of the
financial report for the year.
Mrs. Bradford is OF the opinion that
the success of the 1917 Chautauqua is
assured. Nearly enough tickets have
been pledged to make the amount nee
essary to meet expenses and pay for
the talent and it is thought certain that
next year the Chautauqua will prove
more attractive to Kenosha people.

The Kenosha boys in the Yale batai.
lion of national guardsmen are, with
the rest of the battalion, soon to be
mustered out. Battery A of the batal-
lion was ordered to Mantle, Conn.,, Just
out Of New Haven, the camp where
they were mustered in, today. Battery
G will go down tomorrow, Battery B
the next day, and 50 ON until they are
all received and mustered out. Charles
Matthews of Exchange street, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Matthews, will
go directly to New York and take the
position with the American Radiator
Company which he was to have had in
June had it not been for the call to
join his company; Gilbert Lance will
come directly home; Francis Allen has
had his motor car sent on to him and
will make the trip west in this. Let
tiers from the young men say that
when the order was read to the guards
men to the effect that they were soon
to be released the cheers which echoed
down the line gave evidence that in
spite of their patriotism the boys were
happy to be freed from the service
which has proved useless except as it
has given them training, for it was
decided that they were not needed at
the front soon after they were muster
ed in, and they have seen no active
service.

One Room and Bath Popular.


There are other much smaller suites.
as the one-room and bath apartments
In the handsome white stone Cudahy
building on the lake front, with its
eighty apartments. The one-room apart
ments there rent from $40 to $25, de-
pendent upon the floor they are on and
location relative to the front of the
building, but they are always filed and
many applications in ahead. Dozens of
other small suite apartments are being
put UP, some to be rented furnished
and others unfinished.
Teachers Hunted in Vain.
The week preceding the opening of
school in Kenosha, practically two
thirds of the teachers were searching
for places where they could be decentlv
housed and also have the privilege of
cooking their own meals. The search
was unusually fruitless. Beside the
teachers there are many business wo-
men who are lamenting the fact that
the up-to-date apartment of other
cities does not exist in Kenosha. They
would like place to call their own
where the bathroom would be at their
disposal at their convenience, where
they could cook meals, serve afternoon
tea to a guest and not feel they were
under obligations to anyone for the
privilege, and place that is heated
and Las janitor service. The great OBJ
lection to most women trying to keep
house in Kenosha is that they do not
want to be bothered with the "janitor-
ing which care of a furnace or other
heating plant requires.
Pioneers Find It Profitable.
Two men have already put up small
apartments that are heated and have
electric lights and ianitor service. Both
of these men find the investment most
profitable. One is E. j. Sullivan who
has put up some completely equipped
apartments On Park avenue and Main
street and the other is Luke L. Jones
of Pleasant street who has built an
eight-apartment building, each apart
ment with three rooms and bath, on
Elizabeth street. The Jones apart
ments were all rented before the build
ing was ready for occupancy this fall,
and since then scores of applications
for a place in the building lave been
received.
If the apartments owned by Mr.. Sui
Ivan or by Mr.. Jones were dozen
times as large as they are, they could
be filed readily at the prices for which
they are renting them.

PROVED GOOD INVESTMENTS
Local Investors Who Have Built High
Glass Few-Room Apartments Have
Found Them Returning High
Interest Rates.

With the return of the school teach
ers the crying need of an apartment
building fitted up with some degree of
attractiveness, affording suites of rooms
and a bath and kitchenette, is empha-
sized. Groups of teachers have been
ransacking the town trying to get es-
tablished where they will be independ-
emit of restauranteurs.
Snug little apartments made so that
two business women may find home
at a reasonable price offer field of
investment to Kenosha fnanciers that
would return big interest on money if
the experience Of Milwaukee apart
ment owners can be used as criterion
to go by.

Are Plentiful Elsewhere.

In Milwaukee dozens of apartment
buildings exist, all much like the Cass-
Wayne, apartment on Cass street in
that city, with its thirty-six little
apartments, some with bedroom, living
room, kitchenette, bath and two large
closets only, and some with two rooms
beside the livingroom, kitchenette and
bath. They are fitted up with cool
ing apparatus in the basement from
which is piped cold air into the re-
frigerators, so that no icemen have to
go through the building. They have a
vacuum cleaner run from the basement
so that the cleaning of the apartment
needs but a few minutes daily; the
garbage incinc!ator does away with
garbage pals, and the janitor service
is good. Each apartment has appli-
cants eight and ten deep waiting for
1T to be vacated. Before the Glass;
Wayne building had been completed
every apartment was rented. And the
rentals ran from $33 to $45, dependent
upon the floor they were on and the
size,
